[The video clicks on to a very confused looking Bobby.]

So, um. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on here. I'm starting to remember some things, but it's confusing.

My name might be Jinks? Or it might be Bobby. I'm not exactly sure.

[Thanks for confusing him more, Claudia.]Does anyone else here know me? Apparently I've been here for a

[Give Raven a minute.

Just. Give her a second.]

...Hi.

[She can't believe that she's actually seeing him here, in the flesh - alive and walking like everything is just fine.]

Not unless you make it yourself.

[Raven can't contain her eagerness - Bobby has a whole lot more restraint than Raven seems to at this moment because Raven is not holding back.

She moves forward - not running, because she doesn't want to freak him out - but she rushes and flings her arms around him in a tight hug.

Restraint? What's that?]

[commentlog]

[mister_10_below]

[Aha! A chance to show off his powers. That, he can do well.]

Actually, I-

[And then he's cut short, because she's hugging him. He'd like to believe that it's just because his comment about ice cream was just that suave, but he's pretty sure it's because of something his older/past self did that he can't remember.

Or possibly just because she's glad to see her friend back, considering people have been telling him that he must have died.

Bobby hugs her her back tightly, his voice soft.]

I'm sorry if I worried you. I didn't mean to. Or at least, I'm pretty sure I didn't. I don't think I'd ever want to worry you.

[commentlog]

[hidingnolonger]

[She is absolutely not going to break down - not when he doesn't remember and he's probably wondering why in the world this blue freak is hugging him when he doesn't even remember her.

But she can't help it. She needs to hold him and feel him and make sure that he's real and that she hasn't gone insane and was imagining him standing here with her.]

It's not your fault, Bobby. I'm just...so glad you're alive.

[So, so glad.]

[mister_10_below]

[He's not at all opposed to just continuing to hug on her. He's always good for hugs for the friends he does remember, so he's just going to assume that didn't change along with a bunch of other stuff.

Bobby's also very carefully not thinking about what, exactly, their relationship is. If his memory's keep coming back lack this, that'll come back to him, too, and it'll save him having to ask what's potentially a really embarrassing question.]

Me too. I mean, I still don't really know exactly what happened, but I'm really not ready to be not alive any time soon. And I'm figuring that doesn't change at all, except I apparently have a few more reasons not to be ready.

[commentlog]

[hidingnolonger]

I’m not ready for you to not be alive either. [Not after seeing him alive again in front of her. The way she is holding him and absolutely refusing to let go should also be a pretty good indicator that she had an inkling of what happened to him, even if she wasn’t an eye witness.]

You have a lot of reasons not to be ready. A lot. [Lots of friends, people he cared about, and - she’s selfishly realizing this - for her sake, too. He couldn’t leave her again. He couldn’t.]

[commentlog]

[mister_10_below]

[Yeah, he's starting to get a pretty good clue that she knows how he ended up with no memories. He doesn't mind holding her, though. He might not know her now, but he's obviously friends with her, and he knows he'd be reacting the same way if one of his friends'd been dead, only to find them back alive again.]

I can see. The friends I remember might not be here, but I can tell I have some great ones here.

[It was almost comforting, in a way. To know that even though John and Kitty and Pete weren't around, he still seemed to have people he cared about. Not that it meant he missed his other friends any less, but still.]

[commentlog]

[hidingnolonger]

You really do.

[She finally loosens her hold on him - it's extremely reluctant, though - and steps back. Raven doesn't completely let go of him and she's not sure that she really can at the moment because he's back and alive and he's alright and everything is going to be just fine.]

You don't...remember me, yet?

[commentlog]

[mister_10_below]

[He shakes his head.]

No. I don't remember anything about being here. I'm missing a couple of years of memories, I think. Some of what I do remember is still a little confusing, but I definitely don't have anything past sixteen or so.

It's better than yesterday, though. Yesterday I didn't remember anything.

[commentlog]

[hidingnolonger]

It's better than yesterday, though. Yesterday I didn't remember anything.

[She nods a little, and drops her hands and rests them on her hips. She’s being ridiculously clingy - he’s alive, for God’s sake, and he’s getting his memories back - she doesn’t have to act like a leech.]

Well, that’s progress, right? I mean…it’s better than nothing. [Think positive, think positive.]

[commentlog]

[mister_10_below]

[Yeah, he doesn't mind clingy at all. He drops his hands when she does, though.]

It is. I've talked to some other people who say it works like that, that your memories come back slowly over a couple of days.

[commentlog] ...I randomly pasted some of your comment in there. awesome

[hidingnolonger]

[That still makes no sense to her - and she's having trouble fathoming just how people can come back from the dead, but...]

I'm sorry - I just...I can't believe you're back. I know I keep saying it, but...

[She looks sheepish.]

[commentlog] XD Bobby takes over all the comments

[mister_10_below]

[He can't blame her; it still doesn't really make sense to him.]

It's okay. I can't really believe it, either. This kind of thing is only supposed to happen in movies and stuff. Of course, being here in the first place is already pretty hard to believe. I mean, I'm used to dealing with some different stuff, but this?

[commentlog] he did, waltzed right in and said SUP

[hidingnolonger]

[She nods.]

Yeah, it's all kinda crazy. I mean, coming back from the dead, worlds ending...it's definitely movie material.

[Even mutant stuff might be easier to handle than some of this mess.]

[commentlog] cause that's how Bobby rolls. cool as ice, man. /shot

[mister_10_below]

[The mutant stuff was definitely easier to handle than this.]

It's even like, B-movie material, not blockbuster stuff. Not that I'm complaining about not being dead, but still. I'd just like it a bit more if it didn't come along with still missing a few years worth of memories.

[commentlog] ...rofl JUST LIKE THAT

[hidingnolonger]

Exactly. Like...Brain That Wouldn't Die but, worse. Way worse.

[Way, way, way worse.]
