An Introductory Reunion.
Tina had to get away from Xavier's for a bit.  The closer in proximity she was to her fellow X-types and mutants the higher the odds that she'd develop a new ability.  Tina was growing weary of the now-normal searing pain of her genetics rewiring to accommodate something new and while it was fun she couldn't go drinking with Rose every night.  She elected to go home for a bit, to go stretch out on her own couch and just relax in the relative peace and quiet of her brownstone.  Justin could come stay the night when he wanted to (provided she could lure him out of the lab...some flirtatious texts often did the trick)  and she would be safe to try to get a handle on what the hell was going on with her since Providence.  Dr. McCoy still had no lead on fixing her and Tina realized she had to psychologically brace herself for the possibility that she might never be her brand of normal again.

Today, she'd gotten up early.  Just had been there for the night so she got up, made him breakfast, sent him out the door (which made her feel kind of like a housewife, which as nice) and then sat herself down with a cup of coffee.  The day was still pretty early and she had a blank canvas.  A second cup of coffee in hand, she tried to decide what to do for the day.  It was kind of liberating to have no plans, but boring just the same.

"You know I had completely forgotten about my fun little security detail. And he totally got past them so you're right. He seems really genuine." She nodded. "Sorry I keep asking. I just keep putting you through stuff. For some crazy reason you keep sticking around."

"It's okay, honey." he smiles.

"Speaking of the guys, did you give them the day off after I left? I missed the nightly frisk when I came home this evening." Justin says.

Tina blinked.

"I don't have the ability to dismiss the guys. They didn't check you tonight? That's....weird. Dad specifically gave them orders that I can't send them away."

"Oh. Well, I came up the way I always do and no one checked me. I guess they're practicing their ninja stealth tonight, which is fine with me." Justin grins.

"So, how about I make /you/ breakfast tomorrow? Since you were so sweet to do it for me today." he says.

"They probably are doing their ninja thing. You're right." She smiled broadly at his suggestion for the morning and she draped her arms about his neck.

"Hmm. Will you serve it to me in bed?"

"Such lies," she smiled. "I consider this fair warning...I'm going to marry you someday, Justin. All your blankets are belong to me."

"You're serious about the whole marriage thing, aren't you?" he asks quietly. She's said it before and he just assumed she was trying to say what he wanted to hear, or that she was trying to float the idea along to see how he'd take it.

He loves Tina, but...marriage is a huge idea, let alone a huge step. And his heart condition has to be factored in to every decision they make about their lives from now until whenever and beyond.

"Then I'll just have to keep you close, won't I?" he grins.

"Not any time soon, but someday." She hugged him. "I just want you to know how I feel about you. I don't trust easy. But I do you. So...someday."

She kissed him softly.

"Yeah, someday." he says, returning the kiss.

"So, how are you going to break the news to your mom about your dad catching up to you? How do you think she'll take it?" Justin asks, washing another dish.

"Emma hasn't called me in a couple of weeks. I'm kind of hoping that means she's gotten the message that I don't particularly want to include her in my life. Considering Bruce's side of the story, though, I'm sure she'd be pissed off. I'd call to gloat, but I don't want her showing up here." Tina shrugged and dried another plate. "She'll find out eventually I suppose."

Justin couldn't imagine not wanting to talk to his mother. He loved both versions of her equally, and it saddened him to see that Tina's relationship with her own mother had fallen so far.

"Are you really okay with not seeing her anymore, Tina? I mean, we all say stuff that sounds good in the beginning, but...would you really be happy if you never heard from your mom again?" he asks.

"She doesn't love me. She probably never even wanted me. She was never really around when I was growing up." Tina looked away, focusing on the dishes. "She probably gave me to Shaw."

Justin still can't figure why any mother would do that. There had to something Tina didn't know or something that Shaw had told her that just wasn't true. He takes the dish from Tina and hugs her.

"Look, I shouldn't have brought it up. Do you want to watch a movie? I'll finish this and make us some popcorn if you want to go change." he says.

"Extra butter," she reminded him and smiled softly. "A movie'd be nice. We haven't done that in a bit." Placing a kiss on his cheek, she went to their room to change.

Justin watches Tina walk away (a favorite thing of his to do) and then finishes the dishes, then starts on the popcorn. Of course, he forgot to ask what movie she wanted to watch so he selected Transformers, which happens to be his favorite movie.

When Tina returns, he's sitting on the couch with the popcorn, waiting for her to arrive.

Clad in jammies, Tina curled up on the couch with Justin and took a handful of popcorn.

"Transformers, huh?"

"Don't judge me." he says mock-seriously, a smile spreading across his face.

"If you want to watch something else, I'll put it in." he says, staring to get up.

Tina caught him by the arm and gently pulled me back down, draping her legs over his lap so that he wouldn't try to get up again.

"No, it's okay. You love that move, honey. Your eyes all light up anytime anything...transforms. That's adorable, you know."

Justin passes her the popcorn bowl and starts to massage her feet.

"It's just so cool, Tina. I mean, if I'd seen movies like this when I was a kid, I'd have wanted to be War Machine sooner." Justin says.

"Or I'd have tried to invent an Autobot. One or the other." he says.

"You still could invent an Autobot, my love." She sighed happily at the foot massage.

"I don't think the world is ready for that. They're still having trouble with Iron Men." he grins, continuing to rub her feet.

"Are you okay?" he asks.

"Yeah. It's just been an overwhelming day. I want to trust him, but I don't know how I feel right now. "
