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.

"They did," she snaps, before recovering slightly. This isn't Jamie, who's pushed her a thousand times with questions. "They took our god, and came back and broke our world. Years and years ago."

"Oh," X says.

"But you are trying to kill Them. Now."

Beat.

"You could fix it. After."

"Yes."

Helens mouth is drawn small, chin lifted at a haughty angle. "And I will. I will defeat Them and I will fix my world."

Climate issues can be solved through grumpiness, don't you know.

"I will help," X says.

"I told Jamie. Before."

Helen holds her eye contact for a long moment, the tilts her head to the side in a brisk acceptance.

"Thank you."

"You are my friends."

It seems like--

It is just how things are.

"You are welcome."

That startles Helen even more.

She just nods, again.

X is okay with silence.

It is actually more comfortable for her.

Old habits generally don't die.
