EXAMPLES OF WORK IN THE NEXT POST/REBLOG

FOR FURTHER COMMUNICATION, DM ME ON DISCORD - @/cannedflowers

Wanna continue talking about Volt and Eddie as X-Men!

( About their powers and concept yall can look up my first post on this topic :3 )

About the setting or timeline

I am not sure at what time line i would pin-point their setting in this au, because if we are considering comic books or animated series(the one from the 90s, and it has continued as X-Men97), I would prefer the comic book version, it has wider range of timelines we can work with. Totally before Krakoa, i would say around the next wave of X-men, like a bit after when Kurt and Ororo and some others joined, then it becomes more lively basically.

It could be, of course, easier if i used like the Fox film series of X-Men, because it has a considerably easier timeline, thought it's really messed up actually. I tried to figure it out for a while with a friend, but it was just a set back from the film writers. Though I still love the movies (not all of them, there is one that's like eh-). But keeping on track, comic books storytelling are more fun to work with.

Light idea on how they would become a part of the X-Men

Ed and Volt most definitely met in the mansion, Volt would be a new addition to institute with a big catastrophy following him. Most likely the basic thingy of some mutant hater after his ass, thought i can try to think of some dramatic backstory for him, I just didn't have that much context or ideas to set it up from. However i can work with something of him having more visible mutation than some, it could go with him being hated through life, but his powers came only like in his teenage years, I could add a pinch of him feeling really bad about his changes🤏

We know he is one handsome fella, so I think he might be self aware about how different he looks compared to his younger years, but it ain't as bad as Beast had it.

For Eddie, I think he had it more peacefull, probably he came there himself, because why not? He can at least use his powers for something useful. He must have went there due to the feeling of responsibility for being a mutant, a part of huge community, which he can help with his powers. Or he could also has some background, as like he has survivor's guilt, or more likely he had someone in the past who he could save with his ability, but due to the fear of being exposed as a mutant, he was too hesitant and it was too late to do anything, well that's an idea for sure!

NOW HOW THEY MET🫪

Now imagine this, it's regular fight or die situation in the institute, everything's on fire, people screaming, fighting and just trying to survive another day-

Eddie, as a healer resident of school, working his ass off to make sure no one dies, but he runs out of charge! Volt on the other hand, tries to fight off Sentinels, all blue mode that we love, and well Eddie takes the opportunity and catches energy from a stray lighting from Volt. It was like nothing that he had used before, so much energy and life, he felt like he could heal up everyone and two more rounds of people.

What I would want to think, is that Volt would feel this thing like something from his excessive energy is being taken and transformed into something new and beautiful?(I don't know man, it's like hard to explain, but i feel like something dangerous being turned into something that saves lives is amazing). At some point in battle they totally met eachothers glances and worked together, getting into similar wave of thinking, like something clicked right, like a spark that went between them literally and mentally, was the opening to two people who didn't see eachother much before just opened something new and beautiful.

THEY FELL IN LOVE IN THEIR FIRST BATTLE, AIN'T IT WONDERFUL? Just covered in dirt, sweat and blood at their probably worst moment, raw emotions and all.

Of course they took time with it, but i think Volt would be really impatient and quick, like in a couple of months they would start dating💕

Okiii for this one it's quite enough, I hope it ain't too long for such small range of info, but it's just so interesting to think about!
