Tinker toys are for amateurs

[guthrie_knowhow]

Lewis was in 'his' room, tinkering with someone's old alarm clock. He was pretty sure it was a student's. And since he took it out of the trash, it wasn't stealing, really. And since the basket just had paper stuff in it, it wasn't gonna get him in trouble for digging through gross, icky garbage, either

After fixing the jet, or working on it at least, even Lucy has grease smudges and stains on her. Though she had spent most of her time fetching tools and rolling around the hanger. She left all the mechanical stuff to her twin because she didn't want to wreck anything accidentally.

Though she had still managed to wear and almost talk herself completely out of energy.

She poked her twin, leaving a big smudge on his shirt, "You just fixed a jet. And an alien music box!"

"Best day ever!" Lewis was much, much filthier than his twin. Momma was probably going to yell at him for messing his clothes so bad, but he couldn't stop grinning. Arms raised, he laughingly declared, "Ah helped fix a jet!"

That said, he'd pretty well exhausted himself doing it. Lewis let his arms fall. Actually, he felt kinda hungry.

Cyclops was filthy as well, likely to the shock of most. He generally did clean up before heading back upstairs, but made an exception this time.

He had to admit that Lewis picked up on the instructions rather quickly for someone his age. They might be looking at the next Tony Stark right there. He'll definitely have to have Hank evaluate the kids IQ.

"Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Now both of get cleaned up, and try not to get grease all over the place in the meantime."

"Yeah, Momma's gonna to flip out if we both look like this th' rest of the day. You gonnah tell Jay yah fixed a jet, Lew?" Lucy asked, moving in to clean off her hands on his shirt.

Kind of, anyway. With all the other dirt and junk on his shirt it was more like just adding grease to her hands. "You ain't never been so slimy before!"

"Yeah. An' Momma, too. She ain't gonna believe this! Ah fixed the X-men's jet!"

Lewis wiped his hands off in his sister's hair, grinning. "Here, you can have some too."
