"... since X-Day, it would appear that activity of both the Friends of Humanity and the Mutant Liberation Front have been largely contained. Authorities still urge caution, of course, but as far as the continuing violence is concerned, the streets are a little safer now. However, the leaders of both organizations are still at large. The FBI, along with SHIELD, have requested that any information to the whereabouts of MLF or FoH leadership be brought to them as quickly and discreetly as possible..."


"... holding her first concert since the violence broke out and her original tour was cancelled. Tickets to victims of anti-mutant violence were given entirely for free. Dazzler herself was quoted saying that now was a needed time for healing, and music plays an important role in that. She wants her fans to know that she is here for them, and she will do everything she can to help mutants still struggling in the wake of hatred and violence..."


"... Stryker has said that his vigil, continuing again after being released from the hospital, will continue until Claudine Renko, whom he holds personally responsible for the death of his son as well as the X-Day riots, is brought to justice. Senator Graydon Creed and the other Last Stand lawmakers have said they will stand with Reverend Stryker for the same goal. Creed went on to say that the only way from preventing something like X-Day from happening again is to pass the Mutant Registration Act, finally..."


"... Gabrielle Haller claiming that she and Genosha leadership have come to an agreement to stall potential international aggressions. The Passover Accords, as they are being called, were signed by both President Kelly and President Lensherr, sealing an agreement of non-aggression between the two powers, even if only temporarily..."


"... was released from SHIELD custody today and will stand trial for multiple accounts of fraud as well as the attack on the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning. John Sublime plead guilty to all charges, and expressed his regret that his obsession lead to such horrible acts. He reiterated that all he wished for in his Third Species movement was for peace between human and mutant, and a better understanding of each other..."

[The political scientist in Feliks has real doubts -- but the optimist in him has real faith, even if he doesn't think for a moment it's going to be smooth sailing.]

Right? I totally hoped she'd be able to talk some sense into them!

Yeah, and it looks like it worked. Maybe there will be some disagreements later, but just being able to sign something like that will bring a lot of hope to everyone. That's the one thing we really need right now.
niepokonany: (I love her! She's like a Martian!)

[Tenma, you are exactly who he needs to talk to sometimes.]

Right? At least it's a better foothold to work from!

[He is a good blind optimist, yes]

Definitely. People can look back to this and know that it can work out.

[Bless his heart, in the "sort of condescending but also genuinely affectionate" sort of sense.]

I mean, as long as someone doesn't screw it up big.

[Looking at you, Congress.]

But this kind of precedent totally never hurts!

Even if someone does mess everything up, I think it's just more motivation to make it work better next time. I do hope no one does mess it up though.
niepokonany: (Choking on your alibis)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-04-25 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, I mean, of course we all hope that, right?

[personal profile] soccerwhisperer 2015-04-26 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well... I think I heard some people saying we should go to war...
niepokonany: (Stop trying to make "fetch" happen)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-04-26 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Some people who've never had a sentinel in their front yard, I guess.

[Tenma was there, too. He might very well have seen Feliks in the sub-levels, trying to fight the adults keeping him from rushing outside to look for Fai.]

I'm not saying we shouldn't protect ourselves when we have to or anything like that, but I don't really think they know what they're asking for.

[Tenma's face falls at the mention of the sentinels. It was a mess of commotion in his memory, but still vivid.]

..It wasn't just regular people, I heard it from mutants too. Why would they want that?

["Why would they want that?" God, that's a Hell of a question.]

[It's not like either Tenma or himself to get caught up on these things. Feliks resolves to distract him as soon as possible.]

[In the meantime, he moves to pat his shoulder.]


Who knows, right? It's way complicated.

[He has answers that he believes, but honestly, he feels like they'd just hurt Tenma. Right now, they sort of hurt him.]

[That snapped him out of his melancholy. Tenma blinks at Feliks, and smiles.

He should have known from experience not all mutants shared his views]


You're right, we should focus on what we can do right now and worry later.
niepokonany: (Is ever gonna bring me down)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2015-05-10 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Feliks grins right back at him.]

Right, totally!

And there's a ton we can do. We just have to put our minds to it!
