[A woman's voice comes over the line.]

You've reached the Trickster's voicemail. Unfortunately, Mr. Trickster isn't available to take your call, nor will he likely ever be. Should you still wish to leave a message, please respond after the tone, and maybe we'll remember to get it to him, mmkay?

... I showed my ass? What the hell are you on? A lot of people were trying to talk to him and I had pneumonia, so I made an announcement that I was the one to talk to.

And what racist thing? What the hell are you talking about?

[uberboned]

You should have just said "he's not available- everyone stay in your corners until this is settled" and shut off your NV and refused to say another word about it. You knew just as little as everyone else, but you took the matters into your own hands, when it wasn't your damn business.

[He huffs.] Mutant discrimination? Ring any bells? You called me a flatpan or something. And this is after you said Crowley couldn't be trusted because he's a demon, I should add. Sounds a little like a double standard to me.

[Jubilee just starts laughing at you. Laughing. It takes her a minute to hiccup to a stop, but she still has amusement in her voice.]

You think this is about mutant rights? Oh Gabe. Oh Gabe, Gabe, Gabe, Gabe, Gabe... This isn't about mutant rights.

And I made the announcement because I knew there are certain Newcomers who would take up the cause and try to start an investigation. Guess what? They did. They came and saw that I had the proxies and they left. That is what I was doing.

And it was my business because while you may know and trust Crowley? I don't. I shut down the house to protect it, because I didn't know what would happen. Precautionary measures ring a bell?

And yet, you still said, and I quote, [Gabriel clears his throat and when he speaks, his voice is identical to hers- go go angel mimicry] "I know this isn't home. Possibly more than a lot of people do. I've made a home here. I obey the rules, I keep my nose clean, and yet... it's exactly like home. Something goes bad and the flatscans abandon ship."

...Oh flatscans. That's the word.

[Voice]

[thelittlestbub]

Yeah. And? Still not about mutants.

Would have done the exact same thing if it'd been Chuck, or Blaine, or you.

[Voice]

[uberboned]

Whatever. Forget I said it. The point is, you overstepped your bounds. You didn't know a damn thing about the situation, so it wasn't your place to say whether he was guilty, innocent, or if the proof would be in the pudding if said pudding ever showed up. Who cares if everyone cried he was guilty? Suck it up, tell everyone he's not talking, and then turn your damn phone off.

[Voice]

[thelittlestbub]

[Sigh... She thought you were a friend, but you're just not getting it.]

He cared. Loyalty is more important to him than honesty. Though, honesty ranks right up there.

I never said he was guilty or innocent, I said "wait" and "stop calling because it's coming to me". And saying that once is easier than saying it a hundred times. Especially since, at the time, I had pneumonia and was sick as a dog.

So, really, Gabriel, who have I defended him to? I'm not even defending him to you here and now. I'm asking that you chill the fuck out, and ask your girlfriend to chill the fuck out, because he's still mentally fragile, and using texts rather than anything because that's easiest for him to manipulate at this point. If she wants to see him? She is welcome at the House and I'll make damn sure she can see him. Maybe then she, and you, will understand it's not about any of you, it's about a man who's been on the decline for a long while now, and realizing how much he hurt someone he respected and cared for - who then gave him that final kick off the cliff.

So, maybe, you can get over whatever it is you're flinging your family issues at for ten minutes, and look at it not as someone hiding behind your big brothers, but as a guy, a soldier who finally broke because he can't retreat to his asteroid, or kill a few thousand people. Because boy has this been a long time coming. Sorry it inconvenienced you.

[Voice]

[uberboned]

Yeah, funny thing about people being fragile, and broken, and at the end of their rope? If they fuck up, they still get punished just like everyone else. That's the whole point to this gory story. The end.
