[ text → anna marie ]: not right now no but i’m choosing to take that question as a compliment 😘 [ text → anna marie ]:  but funny story [ text → anna marie ]: once upon a time I had to pretend to be a stripper for a mission [ text → anna marie ]: it was… an experience

“ah know,” jules nodded. she did really, she had grown up hearing horror stories abut missions going wrong and knowing that things were more often than not going to go wrong. it was part of trying to be a hero. “ah can’t imagine fightin’ my family” she speaks shaking her head though she knew that the other female had certainly been there. “that’s where my strength comes from,” she wouldn’t have been who she was without them. “it’s still worth it tho right, bein’ a hero ah mean?”

“I don’t think it matters, really.” Aki says quietly, doing his best to sound as casual and blank as possible about it even if he’s anything but. His father had always been careful to protect him from the possibility of death, no matter how dangerous things became in their lives. Not at fear that he wouldn’t heal, though Aki never really understood that. He couldn’t grasp why his father was so adamant about it… until he died for the first time on that metal slab in the Weapon X Program’s facility.

And it hadn’t been the last. Aki had died more than a few times in that hellhole, and now he understands why his father had kept him safe from death, healing factor be damed. “Didn’t you know? Takes a lot to kill us healers.” He grumbles, clearing his throat as his gaze shifts away from her. She means well, he knows. It’s not her fault. “Even if we stop breathing for a little while we seem to just.. come back.” How much of them comes back? Aki hasn’t quite figured that out yet. But it’s definitely not everything.

it takes a few seconds for everything to click. she didn’t know the extent of everything aki had been through, but in just a few seconds, the horror sets in. she didn’t have to touch him to understand what he meant, she didn’t need to absorb her memories to see the absolutely horrifying truth in his eyes. she’s not inside aki’s brain, but she does understand more than most. she knew logan. she’s had his memories floating around her mind before. she knows what it feels like.

a girl’s gotta eat.

tye didn’t hate birthdays , he just wasn’t a fan of it. before his dads adopted him , birthdays were filled with being alone in foster care and being neglected by the two people who were supposed to give him love and comfort. they gave him a toy and went back to the drugs and alcohol that took over their lives. sometimes they didn’t even give him anything. birthdays were bittersweet and reminded tye of his biological parents , whom he was taken from years ago. “ you really… didn’t have to get me anything , aunt rogue. “

“ma!” pascal practically bounces into his mother’s office, something held behind his back, wide smile on his face. “brought ya somethin’ for yer office!” he swings his hands forwards, holding a small bunch of flowers in his hand, carefully planted into a small pot. “flowers for ya! a nice fleur, i saw it in th’ forest th’ other day. i dunno what kind, bu’ it reminded me of you.”  

How were they supposed to know that this would happen? While maybe they could have expected it, Remy was too wrapped up in being able to hold the woman he loves to consider it. He wished he had done it longer, done a little more, but he doesn’t expect that to be their last chance at being able to touch each other. It was never truly a deal breaker for Remy, he wanted to be with her whether they could touch or not. He wanted to make it work, but he can’t force it. “We back to dis again? De cat and mouse game we been playin’?” He sits up now, gaze still on Anna. “M’not a stepping stone along de way, and while I’ve been wit many people, none of ‘em are you.” Remy looks away as he stands up off the bed, starting to pull his clothes back on starting with his finger-less gloves and then his shirt.

After all the garments were back on, he turns back to look at her. “Ya need to realize dat m’not just a fling. I’m your home, but you know dat when you love someone all de reasons why or why not don’t matter. Until you realize dat maybe we shouldn’t see each other – at all.”

anna marie knew her love for remy was stronger than her powers, and she never had any doubt about his feelings for her. he never left any room for that. love was never the problem. it wasn’t even her powers, but it was much easier to say it was. in truth, it was so much more than that. not being able to touch meant that there would always be space between them, something would always be missing. it also meant that someone out there could offer what she couldn’t. from the moment she saw him, she knew that would be her curse. falling for a guy she would never be able to pin down, and not being able to touch him. she never stood a fighting chance. she would always love him, but there were too many reasons to stay apart. to keep a safe distance. she was too afraid of what giving into each other completely could mean.

kaia’s mother had never really been in the picture for her growing up. not that the fact had been something he mind had a habit of lingering over but it did mean that her maternal figures had all been from her fathers team growing up. even then when so much had changed kaia still found herself looking up to anna like she was still a child. “i know, i know… but i mean it anna,”

Remy doesn’t like seeing Anna so down, but he understands it must be frustrating. He got a taste of what it was like to not control his powers, but even that wasn’t anything compared to what she must be feeling. He could just be there for her through it, and hope that she would be okay. “Ya sure dat you are alright?” He says tilting his he’d a bit. “I don’t know if anythin’ about us is normal. What does dis mean for us, Rogue?” His heart still beating for her, but he doesn’t know where she stood either.

raven shrugged, arms out, “i mean, i’m never going to say no if you want to come back,” her smile wry however, and she can practically hear the answer, “but no, i’m not here to try and get you to join. i’m not actually here on brotherhood business,” of course, not that she wasn’t already bored without something larger to do. she’d bide her time, enjoy the proximity to her children and grandchildren, even properly meeting one of them, “you know, i am capable of staying quiet in one place. i’ve just chosen not to for most of your lifetime.”

This isn’t the first time they have been through this, but Remy knows that it never gets easier. “You don’t have to lie t’me, if ya aren’t fine, y’can tell me.” He says with a sigh as he looks at Anna, wishing that there was something he could do. He wonders if there ever will be a day where the universe will be kind to them, letting them have this. Remy smiles slightly as Rogue finally looks at him. “Now dat don’t mean dat we can’t have fun. Sex isn’t de only way of having fun.” He says, almost reaching out for her, but remembering so he doesn’t. 

The man had never been one to waste time, especially when it came to spending time with Anna powers or no powers. He was happy whether they could touch each other or not, it was enough for him to just hold her hand though their gloves. However Remy also loved the rare opportunities when they could have sex. She was beautiful, and he always wanted to make sure that Anna felt that way when they were together. There was so much love and Remy knows that it was probably obvious by how he looks at her. It was even happening now, but when her hand touches his skin that familiar feeling makes the smile fade. The powers were back, whatever happened seemed to have been temporary. He sits up, picking up Lucifer who had been sitting too close, putting him between them. “Are ya okay?”
