hmm, i actually have no idea! i know basically no characters that are around his age, and although a canonical meeting definitely isnt necessary to ship characters, i also know absolutely nobody that he hangs out with outside his family,,,

if marvel ever does put ahura in a relationship (and knowing marvel, he almost definitely will be at some point), my main hope is merely that it's with someone he has something in common with, and that they both genuinely like each other! i don't know if i'd be very ecstatic about it if they end up doing some one-line mention just for the sake of it. but maybe that's just me.

Inhuman of the Day

November 27th - Treste 

Treste is one of the twin daughters of Auran, the former chief of internal security of New Attilan.  The identity of Treste and her sister’s father has yet to be revealed.  The twins were orphaned when Auran sacrificed her life to protect her partner, Frank McGee, from an attack orchestrated by Maximus the Mad.  Following Auran’s death, McGee assumed guardianship over Treste and her sister.  Although Frank has proven a good and loving parental figure, the twins havee been unable to truly accept the death of their mother.  

Somewhere down the line Treste and Irelli came to learn of the powers possessed by The Inhuman known as Reader.  Reader is a reality manipulator who is able to manifest into reality anything that he reads.  Having discovered this, Treste and Irelli set off on an intricate plot to utilize Reader’s abilities to resurrect their mother.  

The twins began gathering as much information on their mother as they could, transcribing it all into a book.  They wrote down their own memories of their mother and then interviewed everyone who knew her, diligently researching every aspect of her life and adding it to the book.  

Meanwhile, Treste set about trying to recruit Reader to their cause.  Although she is only 16-years-old, Treste appears much more mature for her age and, with make-up and a fancy outfit, she was able to gain access to the secret nightclub known as The Quiet Room.  Having made her way into the club, Treste introduced herself to Reader and flirted with him.  This was all broken up when Frank arrived and chastised Treste for sneaking off to a bar in the middle of the night (Reader, who is blind, was quite mortified that he had been inadvertently flirting with a minor).

That same evening a secret formula was stolen from The Enilux Corporation who were holding a summit at the Quiet Room’s banquet hall.  The theft threatened to undermine the peace treaty between Ennilux and New Attilan and McGee was assigned to investigate the matter and return the formula.  Treste was allowed to join the team McGee put together for the mission.   It turned out the formula had been stolen by an agent of The Capo, who had been the former leader of Enilux.  McGee and the others were able to defeat The Capo and retrieve the formula, yet the Capo escape by transporting his consciousness into Reader’s dog and companion, Foray.       

Later that night, Treste sought out Reader and offered to assist him in tracking Foray down and rescue him from The Capo’s possession.  Reader reluctantly agreed.  Treste was actually killed in the ensuing conflict, but Reader was able to use his powers to rewrite the events of it all so that Treste survived. Following the Civil War II event, Treste and her sister completed the book about their mother.  They printed the whole thing out in brail and presented it to Reader, ultimately coaxing him into reading it and thus bringing Auran back.  Reader warned the twins that the version of Auran who could be brought back may not be the same as she once was, but Treste and Irelll refused to be dissuaded.  Ultimately, Reader gave in and read the book.

By way of reading the book, Reader’s powers brought Auran back to life; yet it was not a complete version of her and the various omissions and inconsistencies in the Treste and her sister’s account resulted in this version of Auran being un-whole and in great agony.  

Confused and in great pain, this version of Auran lashed out.  Following a tense struggle, the telepathic Inhuman known as Sterlion was brought in and he used his powers to mollify the gaps in Auran’s psychic being.  Auran was not the same person she had been prior to her death, but rather a new version.  She was no longer in pain, but needed to venture out on her own to discover who this new version of herself truly is.  At the very least, however, Treste and Ierelle got the chance to say goodbye to their mother.  

Both Treste and her sister were captured by the X-Men following the siege of New Attilan at the start of the inhumans/X-Men War.  The two tried to escape but were probated from doing so by Xorn.  The remained imprisoned throughout the war, though Xoen made sure that all of the inhumans under his charge were well cared for.  

Xander had rarely encountered her outside of the occasional parley with her kingdom, Triste.  By his father’s wishes, he had attended and made small talk with a few of the attending nobles. He hadn’t seen Princess Rose outside of these cursory associations, so it was something of an irony to have her in the army proper. 

That was when he made note of her habits -- habits which, in fact, had mirrored that of his younger self’s. As a teen, Xander had striven to prove himself, and that included forgoing meals for the sake of training. A fool’s errand.

“At it again, are we?”
