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.

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. "

"And that's perfectly fine. You just got a bomb dropped on you, Tina, and no one's expecting you to just go with everything and accept this guy right away." Justin says.

"Go with what your gut tells you and you won't go wrong." he says.

"He wants to help me rebuild that car I've had my eye on. It's kind of his hobby, too. I'm inclined to let him. I mean, you can learn a lot about someone by how they work on a classic."

Justin smiles. "That's nice of him. Maybe that will be a starting point for you two. I just...Tina, you already don't want your mother in your life because of what she did to you. If you can have a relationship with your dad, take that chance.

I've managed to botch it twice now and I wish I knew how not to. So, don't be like me, please." he says.

"Why are you so sure you've botched your chance with your dad here?" She sighs a little. "It's just weird, Justin. I mean, now I know for certain I was never wanted. I was just a consequence of an ill-planned scheme. It's really...bothersome. And I'm not sold that Bruce wants me for me. He has a son who has pretty much told him to sit and spin. I can't help but wonder if I'm just a handy substitute."

"Do you ever ask yourself if I was looking at another girl that day in Chipotle and settled on you?" he asks.

"Do you really want me to answer that? I mean, you really only ended up talking to me due to a burrito switch." She shifted a little, embarrassed to admit this.

Justin just shakes his head.

"You still don't believe that people might love you for /you/ rather than because you're convenient. That kind of hurts, Christina." Justin says.

"I know you love me. You love me because you've gotten to know me. That's a big difference than just meeting someone. Or cllaiming to love them having never met them." She touches his face. "I don't doubt you."

"Oh? How would you do that?" She smiles at him. "If I forgot who you were, how would you remind me?"

"Well, I'd start with a burrito or two, and then we'd go to Coney Island for the day. I'd take you out on all the rides and there would be kissing. Yes, much kissing.

Oh, and I'd show you the watch that you totally tricked out for me. I know that will jog your memory." Justin says.

"That watch is one of my favorite things I've tricked out. Yes it would certainly jog my memory, but I think I'd have to just continue to pretend to have no idea if there are kisses to be had." She smiled at him. "You might have to dance with me, too."

"That will be my new name. 'Dances-With-Tina'. We could do a movie on it and would better than that crap by the Costner guy.

Then again, Scary Movie was better than any Costner movie, so that should tell you something." Justin says.

"Ugh. Costner was even bad in "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves" and should probably just be shot. "Field of Dreams" was cool, though." She shook her head. "Speaking of movies...you haven't been paying attention to yours."

"Found someone better to watch. I can make a movie starring you. I'll call it...'Tina Does Everyday Stuff'. I can film you washing dishes, dusting, eating, sleeping...everything!" Justin laughs.

Then smiles, moving her feet off his lap.

"Where's that video camera?"

Tina looks at him like he might have just lost his mind.

"It's in the entertainment center...why?"

She didn't have to read his mind for this one.

"You aren't."

"Yes, I am. It's time for that Tina movie." Justin smiles.

"Tina Does Everyday Stuff, Take One!" Justin says, finding the video camera and turning it on, before turning to Tina.

"Action!"

Tina laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Justin Rhodes, you're insane. Did you know that? If not, now you do. What am I supposed to just sit here? Dishes are done. Kitchen's cleaned. The only thing I really need to do is like...wash my face and brush my teeth.

"You're serious."

"You are seriously going to record me brushing my teeth and washing my face. I swear to God if you demand to record the underpants dance we're gonna have an issue." She shakes her head and gets up, walking towards the bathroom.
