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 considers this for a moment. Silently.

"It is okay to be both?"

Beat.

"They are not afraid of me. They will like you, too."

X has no idea. None.

"I never found you scary."

"I know," X says.

"You are my friend."

It isn't what she means, but--words are complicated.

"Thank you.



"Go back to your guests. I will talk to you later."

"Okay," X says, a little hesitantly.

"I will be back."

At least she's not wearing sunglasses when she says it?
