Goodwill Ambassador
Angelo had done some preparation for this. He knew that he and his sister had divergent views on the group occupying his thoughts, but he was confident they could approach the situation like rational adults. Of course, he wasn't above cheating, just a little bit. The jug of homemade cider he'd buried in the neighborhood garden had finally been dug up after fermenting long enough, and some was currently on the stove with butter and cooking brandy milling in it. He'd also just finished dusting some krapfen with powdered sugar as he approached his sister, who was going over his latest home-school exam.

"Gio?" He set down a plate of Italian pastry and cider in front of her. "There was something I wanted to confer with you about."

	Angelo outright sneers as he nods his agreement. "And an imbecile besides." Good-will visit or not, he can't help but mutter under his breath to the side. "Figlio di puttana.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina frowned. She was definitely missing a lot of the history here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay," Mel says, still drawing herself up in her wheelchair without a trace of shyness. "We can agree on that, then. And I hope that while we probably can't agree that going to the X-men for help was the best way to handle Cortez, we can still agree that it was a good sight better than just bringing him his coffee while he kept killing and torturing and conspiring?" Don't get this one wrong, Angelo. Her little eyes are intense.

	"...okay, I'm just gonna say it, because people usually expect me to say the wrong thing anyway." Mason raises a hand. "What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Before any of us were born," Giovanna explains calmly. "Our mother found Simon Hall hiding in a church in Switzerland, spent a week talking to him from the other side of the door, and recruited him into the Acolytes. He was very powerful, but to be frank, he was essentially there to get the tea, not participating in any action. Apparently, Hall somehow managed to figure out before anyone else what scum Cortez was, but all mother saw was him bringing the X-Men right inside their headquarters with his powers. Years later, when Father had killed Cortez and was leading the Acolytes, that was all he knew, too. They ran into Hall; Mother identified him and... got a little carried away urging Father to action. He gave Hall time to explain himself, but Hall said nothing. He was then prepared to deal with him as a traitor before someone pointed out that Magneto would probably not approve."

	Angelo clears his throat and nods. "As my sister said." He looks to Mel. "It is not a series of events any of us look at with fondness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel just sits there sternly during this assessment. "So are we agreed that it was a better idea than just standing there watching the conspiracy and torture and murder of innocent people continue, Mr. Bennet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We are." He replies evenly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a long pause as the little purple girl looks up at him sternly. Finally, she relaxes. "Okay then. Please pass me the madeleines, somebody." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason breathes a sigh of relief and finally goes for the cookies, passing one to Mel before having one himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex stayed by Mel's side. //Would you like to leave?// he asked her. //I can come up with an excuse for us to get out of here.// (Reply to this)(Parent)
