616 - Action Figures

[ms_tique]

Raven woke with an arm stuck halfway through Morph’s chest. His leg had bonelessly coiled around hers during the night. They looked like a pair of truck-stop Barbie knockoffs left in the microwave. No - not Barbies. They were Action Figures. Even generic Barbies didn’t come in colors like Irish Creme or Blue Curacao, and while Barbie’s limbs were

Morph doesn't even snore! Well, okay - he MIGHT make a little 'weebweebweeb' sound when he's snoozing, but that's just because it's funny. As he comes to, he looks over, blinking a few times, and stretching a bit..

Oh, yeah.

Mystique.

He looks up at her, and then down at her arm stuck in his chest. He reaches down and gives her forearm a squeeze, before speaking. It's - a bit hesitant, things starting to run through his head. Better, though - to focus on the morning rituals, and on the fact that the whole last twenty-four hours had been pretty astonishing on a whole lot of levels.

"Teach me to cook?"

Hopefully, it's enough of an answer on if he's staying or not.

She keeps her face a neutral mask in response to his look of confusion and, well, the less interperation put onto the rest of it the better. Regardless, it's far better than she expected. She gently pulls her arm out of his chest, watching as the flesh seamlessly seals closed. She flexes her hand. The air around it feels uncomfortably cold.

"Xavier doesn't teach -?" she stops herself. This isn't the time to get on that soapbox. "Sure," she smiles. God, how young is he? "I hope you like butter. I've never got the knack of modern food, and after last night, I could use the calories."

((oops!))
"Well, he had lots of different classes. I just.. kinda goofed off in a lot of them."

Yes, Morph was the class clown - who knew! Who could have gussed that this serious-looking young man .. who's he kidding.

He leans up a bit, and then twists to a sitting position. Around his hips are the most absurd 'x-men symbol' boxers ever thought up. Cause, y'know.. It's funny. Especially the small-size Cable on them.

"Butter sounds good. Well, as long as it's with something." he says, grinning.

"My early education was mostly...religious," she murmurs.

She closes her eyes and shakes her head at the sight of the boxers. "I'm surprised he doesn't save time by having you all branded." She shifts her chest into a skin tight t-shirt reading "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants: Founding Member" in a cheery font. The back lists years and team lineups. As an afterthought, she adds a thong reading "100% Pure Evil."

"Sausage. Biscuits. Eggs. Fried potatoes. Maybe some waffles." Her stomach grumbles in agreement. Everything's better with butter."

((Te he! Jerry Springer, here we come! Kurt could complain I only ever loved evil alternates of him and Rogue could complain I slept with her boyfriend just to break them up - and that's before TJ's mom's side of the family comes on stage.

I'm building up to having a Serious Talk with Morph about you. You're welcome to poke at us all you'd like. In fact, once we finish with The Longest Breakfast Ever, I encourage you to. :D ))

((Haha! :D Yeah - uhm, yeah! Darn these alternate reality grandmas and the hormone addled time travellers!

I promise not to say 'who's your grand-daddy' to Teej, though. :D ))
