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.

X doesn't laugh. If she were someone else, maybe she would.

"That is good."

Beat.

"Not fighting."

"Yes."

It is. Dinah can't stop grinning.

"How are you at home?"

"I am okay."

Beat.

"I have been helping clean up. The city."

She hesitates, just for a second.

"My neighborhood. It is not hard."

Hard work, yes. But not--not complicated. X can go with it.

"Good," Dinah says. "If you need any more help, let me know."

"I will remember," X says.

"And you can tell me, too. If you need help."

Beat.

"You are my friend."

"I know."

After a beat Dinah's smug face gives way to a bright, flattered smile.

"Thanks, Laura."

"You are welcome," X says.

And maybe the relaxed set of her face is close enough to a smile to count.

Who knows?
