01 ⪼ video
[When the video starts, it's instantly obvious that the communicator is floating steadily in mid-air and that the youth with green-glowing eyes and crossed arms, looking extremely unamused, is responsible. It's angled in such a way that it only shows Julian and a bit of pavement, but you can hear the hushed voices behind him that Julian is determinedly ignoring.]
Honestly, I would have thought I filled my 'getting kidnapped' quota for the month already. If you want help you could have, oh, I don't know, simply asked? Then again that would involve being respectful to a mutant and I suppose we can't have that, can we? Common courtesy is dead these days, even when it comes to heroes. Never mind that 'genescum' saved the world a couple of times. [BITTER MUCH?]
Although I have to say being told to be a hero and do my usual heroics is an improvement from being turned into a bio-bomb. I suppose that's progress, but I'll give a general reminder that kidnapping is still Not Cool. Whether it is becoming the new trend or not. Ask and you shall receive and all that, but with this attitude you can forget about it. You might as well send me back, because I'm not doing jack.

Any other New X-Men or X-Men around, report. [Cutting the feed SULKILY.]
