He winced.  ”The Black Widow taught me some stuff.  I mean, I wasn’t really very good at it.  8 months with her, I think I hit her twice.”  He shrugged.  ”I know enough to get by.”

[Lets out a grunt like chuckle.] Alright. [She shrugs] Other than workin’ at the school and well the X-men, what do you do?

“Uh…”  He didn’t really do anything else - superheroing was a full time job for him.  ”I can cook a pretty good omelet?”

Oh yeah?

Ha, no, nothing more than drabbles in my notebook. My power is really similar to a telepath’s actually. I don’t need physical contact to sense another’s emotion, but touch does make it stronger. When I was little, I couldn’t control my input, and everyone’s emotions would hit me at once. And when you’re in kindergarten where every kid’s emotions flip flop like crazy, it can be overwhelming. After the professor found me, he taught me how to block them out unless I chose to let them in. He also taught me how to control my output. If I focus on an emotion, I can spread it to those in the immediate area. Again, I don’t need to touch them, but it does help. How did you learn what to do with your gift?

“Well, it’s kept me alive so far” he laughed.  ”I mean, yeah.  It works for me.”

Sure you’re not lookin’ for some hand to hand combat trainin’?

[Lets out a grunt like chuckle.] Alright. [She shrugs] Other than workin' at the school and well the X-men, what do you do?

“The way your dad fights isn’t really for everyone.  I mean, if I’m in a fight, I usually stay a bit more back.”  He shrugged.  ”I mean, I’m pretty durable, it’s just…  Well, I’m not Piotr or Logan.”

I do a mixture of that and hand to hand. [Shrugs and half smiles at him.] If that works for you I say keep doing it. I have a few friends that fight from a distance. Anyway, everyone has their own style, mmm?

“Well, it’s kept me alive so far” he laughed.  ”I mean, yeah.  It works for me.”

A shrug.  ”That’s fair enough, I mean, god knows I’ve messed up in the past and he still seems to like me okay.”  He smiled.  ”It’s pretty nice to see him tearing into the bad guys though.  Always a lot of fun.”

[She give Bobby a shrug in return.] Everyone messes up. [Returns his smile with a half grin of her own.] Yeah, it is, isn’t it? Kind of makes me want to work out more.

“Your dad?  Uh, I mean, I don’t want to brag, but I’m pretty strong as mutants go, and your dad would turn me into a pile of shaved ice in less time than it’d take him to smoke a cigar.”  He laughed.  ”I mean, I know he wouldn’t hurt me or anything, but he’s just not somebody whose bad side I want to be on the receiving end of.”

[She let out a grunt like chuckle.] Personally I think it’s hard to get on his bad side. [Shrugs and half smiles.] Usually takes something drastic for him to come at you. The visual was pretty nice.

He laughed at the idea.  ”Yeah, I dunno, Scott stopped intimidating me when I realized that I could probably take him in a fight.  Your dad though, I listen to him.  Unconditionally.”

[Let out a grunt like chuckle.] Well, we stole the blackbird when we were students. It was my first week there and they wouldn’ go lookin’ for our friend. So, I was more afraid of being kicked out and sent back to the Savage Lands. [She shrugs and grins.] He scares you?
