June-July Storm and Calibrations - OTA
WHO: Tommy Sheperd, OTA
WHERE: Around Temba, Calibrations Waiting Room, Tommy’s Calibration Room
WHAT: The lead up to and time around Calibrations
WHEN: June 2nd to July 10th
WARNINGS: CW: Tommy’s Calibrations room potentially contains depictions of child abuse and neglect, deprivation of food to a minor, bullying, and possible references toward unintentional property destruction.. It depends on what you touch (each will have warnings in strike-through attached). One happier memory does occur, though.
Helping Hand (Around Temba - June 2nd, the 36 Hours - OTA)
The message comes and a few things happen. First, Tommy freezes. The storm had been bad the last time. The lack of powers, the way he fractured his ankle, the way he’d seen people he’d lost, the way he’d wanted to hide and never come back. The idea of it happening again scared him more than anything. Add in his new issues with lightning and it got more complicated, not less. Of course while he freezes forever, it’s actually only a minute, and then he’s moving.
While he hasn’t been to his home since things went wrong, he moves immediately there and starts packing a box with all of his things. And after a moment of thought, his brother’s things, and Teddy’s for good measure. Some clothes for them all, a few personal touches to feel comfortable. The painting Vision made for him happened to go into a box too. And once that is all left off in the mouth of the tunnel, he’s back in the city.
He stops at the Greenhouse and spends time harvesting every last thing that’s ripe that he can get his hands on. They’ll need food if they’re going to be there for a while. Then it’s off to the ships. Grabbing anything loose and useful on the ship is the goal to get things back. He then moves around the city, racing up to anyone he sees and stopping to ask an important question.
“Is there anything I can do to help you? Anything you need carried? Hell, I’ll carry you.”
Safety matters, and he’s a hero. It’s going to happen.
Calibrations Waiting Room
Here
Calibrations [CW: Tommy’s Calibrations room potentially contains depictions of child abuse and neglect, deprivation of food to a minor, bullying, and possible references toward unintentional property destruction. It depends on what you touch (each will have warnings in strike-through attached). One happier memory included.]
The room is different than the waking hours, but not much. It’s not actually emptier but it somehow manages to feel it, in an abandoned sort of way. Instead of a queen-sized bed, there’s a twin mattress on the floor, next to which there sits a half-eaten package of off-brand poptartscw: neglect and deprivation of food. The mattress itself is resting under a window so dirty and dusty that it’s almost impossible to see out through it. Instead of the drawers there’s just a closet, open and mostly bare save for a pillow in the corner. And across from the pillow a beat-up bookbag cw: bullying. Hidden up on the shelf in the closet is a dusty high school yearbook cw: explosions, property destruction, for a school in New Jersey, Go Pumas! The last object of any real note in the room is a discarded belt cw: child abuse. Okay, no, there’s also what looks like a picture pinned to a wall, seemly drawn by a child. It’s on that level at least, it’s made of crayon, and depicts people in very colorful costumes, with something scrawled under it. Welcome to the Young Avengers it reads.
In the middle of it all, metaphorically, is Tommy, looking around the room in disgust.

She looks back at the spreading explosion, trying to quicken their pace. "Wasn't this supposed to be the quick option?"

"It also only takes place over five minutes of time. As you experience it."

"Come on, cops will be here soon. I think this will probably end here."
He ignores how his younger self is crying. Guilt was a bitch.

"...So you really saved all those people, huh? And they still...?"

"Mutants are feared in my world, by more people than not."

"I mean, you're annoying, but...you're not so horrible..." Yes, that is her attempt at something like being comforting, ear twitching with a small scowl.

The boy doesn't struggle against the cops. Not even as a strange looking set of cuffs goes on him and the boy passes out. Only then does the memory release them, and there's a door open in the bland room from before.
"Enjoy yourself?"
no subject
She pauses, stopping short and looking back. "Look...I don't like you or anything, but...I still think it's messed up that they blamed you for all that. And the explosion was pretty cool."
no subject
"I am starting to think I understand what Gramps was saying when he said this... Be careful. You could end up like me."
no subject
"Ohh, you have no idea." The things she's done? Tommy is definitely the better person between the two of them.

"I know all about a ton of shit. But believe what you want, kitten."
