St John the Divine: Transitions

'I got uh, a phone call today.'
They're eating dinner together in their upgraded apartment when Bobby breaks the news, and the way he says it leads Pyro directly to the conclusion.
'So Storm called your little X-Phone while I was at work?' John isn't accusing about it, so Bobby just shrugs.
'Yeah. There's some trouble and they want more people back at the mansion. She didn't say what it was, though.'
'You told her where you're at?' John looks suspicious but Bobby doesn't understand why. Storm wasn't exactly a mastermind of evil.
'She. I guess she just knew. I think the Professor's back, or Kid Omega got way better at reading people's minds. Or something. She said that, you know, if you thought you could work with us. You could,' Bobby feels clumsy.
'Yeah right, Drake. They extending that olive branch out of kindness or because you ask 'em to?'
'I didn't. Well.'
'What? Well?'
'You've changed, I guess.'
Pyro snorts. 'I haven't changed at all, I just got less resources now.'
'Marie misses you. She said, that you know, you could just come visit.'
Pyro does pause at that. 'I guess I do owe her that, huh? Maybe a little vacation'd do me good, and I guess it beats paying rent for this shithole.'
Bobby winces. He'd stopped asking John what he did for money, and after getting a black eye stopped trying to pay the entire rent behind his back. John didn't want the charity.
'So let's go.'
