Birthday Party for Laura/X-23
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.

"And Iron Man has a suit."
Beat.
"I do not know about the others. Maybe it is magic. I did not ask."
She has never met them to ask, either.
Re: Hang out with X-23
"They don't have anything else, in my world. And they're not aliens. It's what they do."
Re: Hang out with X-23
X considers this.
"It is useful? For them."
Re: Hang out with X-23
When it comes down to it, the person the flying person she's had the most experience with is West Rosen.
And she is so not talking about that right now.
Instead, she just says, "I like what I do."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I like what I do, too."
Beat.
"It is useful."
And that is important, right?
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I think it's different from being a bird, though."
There's no wings, first of all.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"As a bird."
X is not sure she would like that.
Re: Hang out with X-23
And Elle's pretty used to being small, anyway.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"That is good."
This pause is longer.
"I do not know any bird shapeshifters. At home."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Uh.
We'll assume.
"I - think it's like magic?"
Re: Hang out with X-23
"Maybe."
Beat.
"I am not good at magic."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Pause. "But it was like - when Tom turned something into a bird. It just happened."
Of course, Tom needed a wand. She's not sure how relevant that is.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"John made flowers. Out of spaghetti. Once."
If they are talking about magic--
Re: Hang out with X-23
It sounds like the kind of illusion Candice might do.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"Billy does magic, too. I do not know if he has practiced."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"I don't think gods have to practice."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"That does not make sense."
Re: Hang out with X-23
She's read stories about gods being tricked or hurt, but not about practicing, or getting something like that wrong.
"I think they just - do things."
Re: Hang out with X-23
X absorbs this.
"That is useful."
Beat.
"For them."
Understatement.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Well, it is.
"They're not like - people."
Re: Hang out with X-23
"Humans?"
X's definition of people is weird.
Re: Hang out with X-23
"And everything else."
... ever.
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"I will remember."
Even if it still does not make sense.
Re: Hang out with X-23
With a small shrug, "I don't know what they do here."
Re: Hang out with X-23
Beat.
"Sometmes Belar turns other people into things. When they cause trouble."
Or so the Security report reads. If X knew Raph, she would ask him. Maybe she'll ask Jayne, instead.
