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.

X frowns, considering.

"He turns them back. Sometimes it is easier than fighting."

Beat.

"And safer. For other people."

"I... guess."

She still sounds rather unsure about it.

But when it comes down to it, were she ever going to cause trouble in the bar, she'd be unlikely to really think it through.

X is quiet for a second. Or two.

"I cannot do that. To people."

Change their shape, that is. You know, in case Elle was worried.

"I do not think other people can, either."

Except gods. And--maybe Constantine and Tom?

"I know."

Beat.

"It's okay."

X looks a little dubious. Skeptical. Wary.

"Okay."

X will believe her. Unless and until Elle freaks out.

Or they both get changed into something. Or--

"Good."
