[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 little while, but I can't remember it.

Can't remember why I can't remember, either.

[Except that he'd woken up in some kind of weird leather outfit with blood on it, which wasn't exactly comforting. His search with Claudia for what had caused this had been unsuccessful, so now he's widening it.]

Bobby seems to be the consensus, then.

[She doesn't seem fine. Bobby is suspicious, but he's too hesitant to push the matter.]

Me too. I guess. I don't remember it or anything, but I guess that'll be coming.

And thanks. I guess that means we're friends, then?

[And he sounds more hopeful than he'd intended, there. Oops.]

Yeah you're Bobby. I'd...I'd know you anywhere.

[He's right about that - Raven is anything but fine. This was...unbelievably cruel, to have him back but not really have him.

She wants to rip up a pillow.]

I hope it comes back. [A glimmer, at least.] Yeah. We...

We're pretty good friends.

[Raven can't resist.]

Bobby, do you need anything? Company, food...anything?

[And he's going to grin a bit at that. Because - dude. Awesome. They must be close, if she'd know him anywhere.]

I think it will. I mean, I already remember a lot more than I did yesterday. And more stuff keeps coming back. I still don't remember anything here, but things seem to kind of be coming in order, so I think I've got a few more years before that.

[And confirmed! Success! Bobby is not at all opposed to being good friends with a pretty girl.]

Um. Well. I wouldn't mind company? Unless it'd be too weird for you.

[She’d forgotten to shift back to her blond form before opening the connection – but he doesn’t seem to be freaking out. That’s…good. That’s really good, actually.

And…his memories are coming BACK. Even. Better.]

No – I’d like to see you. Unless it’s too weird for you, then I can wait. Until you remember everything. [She just kind of wants confirmation that he’s really real and not just some figment of her imagination.]

[Bobby has enough memories of the Institute now to know he's a mutant, and to be used to being around them. It doesn't occur to him that this isn't the form she usually walks around in.

From what he remembers, though, he'd still been hiding outside of the Institute, so he's not eager to start talking about mutants over these things.]

No. I mean, yeah, company would be awesome. No, it wouldn't be weird. Maybe it'll help jog my memory a bit. You wanna head to the kitchen with me?

Good point. [Maybe being around her really would help. If there was anything Raven wanted to do, it was to help in whatever way possible.]

Sure. I’ll head there now.

Great! I'll see you soon.

[And he's heading down to the kitchen immediately, eager both to actually meet this friend he can't remember, and to hopefully spark off something that'll help his memory a bit.]

[Raven is there as fast as she can be without actually running.

Okay, maybe she actually did run half the way there. She's a little out of breath when she gets there. She hasn't bothered to shift back - that'd just...confused him, at this point and she's pacing until she sees him.]

[She's already in the kitchen when he arrives, and he gives her a bright smile before toning it down a bit. He doesn't want to seem too eager. Or does he? Maybe he's eager all the time, and being less eager will just confuse her.

No, less eager. You're not supposed to be too eager around girls. They'll start thinking you're a dork. Well, not girls like Kitty, Kitty didn't count. He's known her forever, he remembers that now. But actual girls. You had to be cool and charming around them and oh god Bobby's actually glad John doesn't seem to be in this place, or Bobby's pretty sure he'd get punched for the fact that he's still standing there and hasn't said anything yet.]

Um. Hi.

[Oh, brilliant. Yeah, Bobby'd definitely appreciate his memories to start kicking in now. Any time at all would be nice, as long as it was some time in the next few seconds to give him some kind of idea about how he normally interacts with her.]

I'm guessing from the looks of this kitchen that I'm not going to be finding ice cream in here.

...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?]

[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.

[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.]

[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.

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.]

[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.]

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?

[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.

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.]

[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.

[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.]

[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?

[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.]

[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.

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

[Way, way, way worse.]

Definitely way worse. Though in fairness, I haven't actually seen the end of that movie. I was watching it with my best friend and we had to quit about halfway through or risk him actually setting the screen on fire in annoyance.
