You stopped looking in the mirror, you hated when they addressed you as a "vampire", you were not one of those beings, maybe you looked like one and had similar powers, but you did not consume blood, you could be in the sun without any problem, you also did not know any of the supposed abilities that vampires used to have you were a mutant.
You heard the rumours about what happened between the Infernal Circle, the Morlocks, and the mutants of the underground, although you weren't sure whether to believe it. Many mutants believed that when crossing into Mexico they would be much safer, it was not so, it was simply easier to camouflage flair... as long as the X gene did not affect the physical. Not to mention that another danger was The Lunatic, who had the same mutation as you, but the big difference was that she was evil, so if they avoided her, they would be safe.
You weren't sure what was going on, you heard the murmur, but you didn't understand the words, you got closer, you were afraid they would have to escape, you didn't even remember the one when it had been the last time, but you were sure it was at least 5 years ago. The place where they were now was hidden in the desert so it was practically impossible for anyone to discover them, not to mention that they had help from some local witches to make them undetectable.
"What's wrong?" you asked as you walked in.
"The mutants of the Underground need our help," Rosa replied.
"But they no longer exist, not after what we heard...â
"Y/N is right, isn't it a hoax?â Creep supported.
"I agree with Marisol, it sounds very strange and could be dangerous," you said.
They began to argue, although no one was listening to the arguments, the concern was very great.
"There is nothing to worry about," Rictor intervened, entering the place and raising his voice to be heard. The groups of mutants on the other side have regrouped, now the Morlocks and those of the Underground are allies, and as we all know, we have to lean between mutants or humans will eliminate us.
You looked insistently out the window; it was finally the day they would arrive. Although you didn't know them, you had heard a lot about them, as soon as you caught a glimpse of the two men, your attention focused on the one with long hair.
You quickly left your room, went downstairs as fast as you could, the corridors were long, very long, it took you at least fifteen minutes to get to where the visitors were.
"Hello," you said.
Marcos was startled when he saw you, John gave him a scolding look, then stood up and stretched out his hand to greet you.
"John Proudstar," he introduced himself. You smiled and took his hand nervously; you had never felt anything like it before.
"Y/N Y/L/N," you replied, it was as if time had stopped and they were only in the world until they heard Marcos's false cough.
They proceeded to tell them about the help they needed, even though anti-mutant laws had been eliminated in the United States, they were still being persecuted by the Purifiers, so they needed to move one of the groups to Mexico.
If the group were to be in danger at some point, with your powers you could confuse the pursuers and make sure that they reached the shelter, then help them settle in and start a new life.
The day they met, you and John exchanged phone numbers, from time to time he would send you messages or even sometimes call you even if it was just to hear your voice.
Although it was also the first time you felt something like this, at the same time you were afraid that things would turn out wrong.
Moving on to the mutants was easy, there was no complication nor did they have to execute the alternative plans, also John took your hand on purpose for a few seconds before anyone else saw them.
John and Marcos decided to stay a few more days, Proudstar spent most of the day with you, he seemed very interested in you, it was a new and strange feeling for you, previously no one had shown interest in you. He also told you almost everything about his life.
One of those days you heard what looked like an argument between the two men, you stayed outside the room listening to the conversation until John mentioned "Blink", who the hell was that person?
âWho is Blink? "You asked entering the room, the two immediately shut up and saw each other.
"It was someone on our team...
"Your girlfriend?" "You interrupted him; you made an effort so that your voice would not sound sad.
"She was my girlfriend, but Turner murdered her," John replied immediately.
"John is single,â Marcos said.
John gave her a warning look; while it was true that he was confused with her feelings, one part was attracted to you and the other that he was betraying Clarice; but Blink was dead, she would never return and he should continue with his life, open his heart, meet someone else, fall in love again and perhaps have the family he had always dreamed of, above all I wanted you to be that person.
âOhâŚ
It was all you could say before you left the room, you were sure it was all a lie, maybe he just wanted to have fun for a while and didn't have any feelings for you, maybe you had misunderstood everything that happened in the last few weeks, you felt like a fool, you didn't even know how it had occurred to you that someone could fall in love with you, fall in love with who you were. You locked yourself in your room and refused to open the door when someone knocked.
Already at night, when everything was dark, you went out, you went up to the roof, as you did every time you were sad, there no one bothered you, although you did not hear when John went up behind you, he was waiting for the right moment to be able to talk alone with you and explain everything to you.
âY/N âhe called you.
âGo, I don't want to hear from you...
He wouldn't give up so easily stopped you with his strong arms and kissed you, after they separated, he began to explain everything that happened to you.
"I want to always be with you, I want to make you happy," he said.
âAre you sure?
âMore than ever, I was thinking about staying here with you.
âBut they need you...
âThere are more mutants who can help you, like Marcos, Lorna and the others, but I will stay here with you.
You smiled and you two stayed a while longer watching the stars.

Anon requested: âHeadcanons for John Proudstar from The Gifted dating a male mutant who has powers over the elements â¤đ please and thank you!!!!â
~~~~~~~~
Your powers came in when you were a teenager. There was a group of bullies going too far one day, holding your head underwater. The next moment the water was moving away from you towards them.
You ran away from home after that. It wasnât that your parents wouldnât accept you, but you didnât want to get them in trouble for your sake.
Your parents understood why you were leaving and told you that you could come home anytime. They helped you pack and gave you enough money to get out of town. It was all they could do.
As time went on you found out water wasnât the only element you had power over. Fire, water, air, and earth were all yours to control.
The way you met John was an accident. There was a group of people harassing a family with a child mutant, and when you saw them you decided to step in.
Needless to say the authorities stepped in, you used your powers, then you and the family were running for a hiding place. That was when you ran into John Proudstar.
Literally. You were running in front of the group when John rounded a corner. You were going to fast to stop and knocked him over. He was going to yell at you until he saw the family and the authorities coming after them. It didnât take a lot to put two and two together.
John took all of you to the Mutant Underground. After just a few months of working with them he asked you out on a date. From that point on your teammates teased you, calling you Johnâs boyfriend. If only they had a clue.
You two went on dates (or the closest thing you could get in a building full of mutants) that were fairly simple. Movies in your bedrooms, going out for walks, practicing fighting, and showing off your powers.
âPlease?â
âNo. Iâm putting my foot down on this.â
âPretty please?â
âWe are not watching Sharknado again.â
âOh come on! Sharknado is a great movie!â
âNo John. Pick something elseâand not Sharknado 2!â
On the subject of powers, you normally didnât use them unless it was an emergency or something small.
A lot of people joked that you werenât a very powerful mutant. The most they had seen you do was splash some water into Johnâs face, create a breeze, light a fireplace, move some dirt to avoid sweeping, just the little things. They just didnât think you were very strong.
Then came the day where they got into a fight with a telepath. The telepath hated their abilities and was working with Sentinal Services to round up mutants. When the group arrived to stop them from capturing a group of mutants in hiding, the Sentinal telepath forced you to use your powers.
They made you to create a tornado that began ripping through nearby buildings. Luckily it was an abandoned town, but the others were more concerned with getting out of the way. Some people were sinking into the ground, others were running out of the way of your flames.
John was trying to get close to you, to either knock you out or distract you. He managed to get close enough and punched you.
It barely phased you. At least, it didnât appear to. You werenât exactly in control. The telepath forced you to suspend John in a bubble of water in an attempt to drown him.
That was the telepathâs mistake. You remembered what it felt like to be drowning all those years ago, and it was John. The telepath didnât know what hit them when you caused the earth to erupt around them.
After dealing with them, you dispersed the tornado and pulled John out of the bubble. It was a few terrifying moments before he was breathing again and when he was, John pulled you down into a kiss. It lasted two seconds before he was coughing for more air.
âMaybe you should take a breath before kissing me.â
âIâm fine. Are you alright?â
âJohn, I love you but you nearly drowned. Iâm fine.â
âIf you say so. Now letâs get everyone out of here.â
The downside to this encounter (besides your raging headache afterwards) was that everyone knew you as the natural disaster mutant.
You liked to joke that you were always a disaster, it was just official now. Where was your certificate?
John was worried you would become a target for Sentinals, in which you pointed out all mutants were targeted.
You agreed to lay low for a while, and that seemed to make John less worried about you.

âGet everyone out.â You told Kate, she nodded and then looked at you to see you going towards the centre of the room.
âWhat about you?â She asked, you turned to her, people running past you.
âJust get them out.â You said, and she nodded, as she ran of telling them all to go, to leave. She was the last one out, she glanced at you and you, nodded at her as you placed your hands over each other and focussed all the energy into it, the light building and building. Once you were sure everyone was out, you groaned as you released the energy. It going to all the pillars, hitting them and shattering what was left, as you dropped your hands and ran, for the make shift entrance as the building feel behind you. You fell onto the ground, just as the building collapsed, you lowered your head, covering it with your arms as the dust and brick continued falling around you.
âEveryone made it, thanks to Y/N.â Kate said, they looked at her and nodded.
âWhat do you mean thanks to Y/N?â Marco asked, he glanced at John as he stopped looking for you and made his way up here.
âShe didnât make it out.â Kate told them, she watched as their shoulders feel and disbelief appeared.
âWhat?â John asked, Kate looked at him and frowned.
âIâm sorry.â Kate said, she reached out for Johns shoulder, but he shook his head and pulled away. He marched past everyone.
âJohn!â Marco shouted but he ignored the calls and the stares.
âY/N.â Lauren said as she stood in front of you.
âHey.â You said happily, she walked over and welcomed you into a hug.
âMum.â She shouted, and you winced at how loud it was. You saw Kate come over and you smiled at her.
âWhereâs John?â You asked her, she looked over you, taking you by the arms and leading you to sit down, you looked up at her.
âHe can wait a minute, until this is patched up.â She said, and she got to work on the cut, that was across your forehead, and the smaller one on your cheek. Once she was done you thanked her and she told you that he was out the back with Marco and Clarice, you stood up and made your way there.
As you stood behind them you stepped forward.
âI heard I was dead.â You said as you stood behind John, Clarice and Marco. They turned around quickly and took in your appearance.
âYouâre alive?â Clarice said, you smiled and nodded.
âIâd hope so or your dead as well.â You responded, and it wasnât long until you were lifted of the ground and John was spinning you around. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders, as he placed you down.
âKate said you didnât make it out.â He said as he pulled back but kept his arms on your neck, one making its way up to the cuts on your face.
âI just made it out.â You said, John placed a kiss onto your forehead.
âbut doing so⌠something happened.â You said, they looked at you with worry, but you ignored it.
âWhat?â They all asked together, you glanced over them all.
âI canât use my powers just now, Iâve burnt them out.â You said, with that they relaxed and smiled.
âAs long as your safe.â John said, as he wrapped his arm around you shoulder.
âI can take you wherever you want, John. Just need to take my mutant fairy dust,â you motioned with fingers in the air and smiled. âAnd poof, weâre there - well not really there there, but in your mind. You just gotta tell me where you want to go.â
John smirked and leaned back into his chair. For a brief moment, everything felt normal. No Sentinel alerts, no runs for supplies, nothing. It was you and him sitting quietly together - it almost felt like he could have anything, but then again he did.
He sat up and looked over at you. âI like where I am right now.â
âI could make it better,â you offered and he smirked, shaking his head.
âYouâre here, donât think it could get better for me.â
