Birthday Party for Laura/X-23

[noteful]

It's a pretty low-key party, all things considered, and not significantly different than the one Parker or Meg would have thrown in a dorm room for a friend at home, not-exactly-traditional menu not withstanding.

There's music, low enough to talk over (and maybe with a little more folk in the mix than one expects to find a party). Balloons and streamers in purple and blue and red. A place to leave presents. People to meet or catch up with.

And, most importantly, a chance to wish X-23 (or Laura) a very happy birthday.

An enclave, maybe. Not a town. And not for the greater good of anyone but the person paying the Facility for her services.

It's a different dynamic.

"You are a person."

She sounds--a little fierce about that.

"You do not have to be human. For that."

Castiel shakes his head gently.

"I cannot be both."

"I am an angel. I am not a person. That is simply how I was created."

"But that is okay too."

"Raguel is an angel, too."

She's not exactly mulish. Just a teenager. With issues involving identity and self-determination.

"And a person."

Whether or not Raguel would agree--

"I know."

They have met.

"I appreciate that you think of me as a person."

Semantics aside, he knows what she is trying to convey.

There's a moment of silence as she looks at him, maybe weighing how much he means that.

Then she nods, relaxing faintly.

"Okay."

Beat.

"Good."
