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.

She reaches up and absently pinches her earlobe. "That's--"

Crazy. But the person who just toasted her own bread with sparks from her fingers probably isn't gonna think so, is she?

Her lips press together. "What about you? Were you born being able to do that?"

"It's usually how it works."

Her attention had turned to the bread at this point, but she looks up to add, "But it takes longer to start up."

She just can't keep all trace of skepticism out of her face, even after seeing the sparks with her own eyes.

"Guess you're not doing things like that" -- she nods to the bread -- "much in public when you're not here."

Whether the other woman believes her or not doesn't make that much difference to Elle.

"Nope," she agrees.

She also doesn't go out in public all that much, either. "Most of us who know about it don't."
