A little quality time for sisters..
Ever since they were little, Lexie and Rachel shared a room and other than an iffy phase when Rachel hit her early teenage years and Lexie was still in the little girl phase of life, it had always worked out fairly well for them. lately, between the team, school and everything else...they just hadn't gotten a chance to do it.

So when Rachel finally came up to her room for the night, Lexie had every bottle of nail polish, lotion, and manicure paraphernalia 2 young ladies tended to hoard already laid out on the bed. There was something she wanted to ask her sister and she couldn't wait any longer,

"Hey...are you tired?"

It took a split second for her face to flush as red as her hair. It shouldn't matter! She knew her family loved her, unconditionally, but there was that tiny sliver of doubt, that .00000001% of her that didn't wonder if it was just TO much.

"...I don't know...Don't tell anyone Rach..please?" Her voice cracked at the last of that, "I will, I just have to..." She just had to accept it herself before she could ask anyone else to.

	"Lips are sealed," Rachel said. "But I'm guessing Big Ray, Nate, and Mom already know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You didn't, and I'm closer to you than anyone...God Rachel...is this what it feels like to figure out you're a mutant and you have to tell your family?" Because it was hell. Even if she knew things were going to be okay...it was hell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Trust me, Mom probably knows. She knows everything." At the question, though, she shrugged. "Beats me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...What's dad going to do, do you think?" Scott...was the wild card. Being a mutant, it made you a little more tolerant than the average person. But at the same time...it was still a big unknown... It was ironic, she could see the future, but this...? It had her terrified. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really?" Rachel asked. "You really think Mister "Mutant Pride" is going to have a problem with this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know what he's going to do..." Realistically, she knew her friends and family, they'd support her...but when it came down to it, it was still a big unknown. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know...I know I'm being dumb, intellectually, I get that...but...you haven't heard some of the stories I have, about kids coming out...the things their parents do to them. And I know mom and dad are different....but....let me tell them when I'm ready? Please?" Or, you know..when she had a girl pick her up for prom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely not my business who you're making out with," Rachel said. "Though I seem to recall someone running a pool about whether I'd end up with David, Torn Ear, or Starbridge..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, I won that pool...." Because it was so much better that Lexie sold out her sisters private life if she was collecting the cash... "..I got an I-pod Touch out of that..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She didn't look ashamed. At all. "Hey it was going to be someone...at least I got the profits from it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rachel gave her a look. "Somehow, that doesn't make me feel any better about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gingeroracle 2013-10-30 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	"You can borrow my I-pod if it'll make you feel better. I have some awesome play lists..." She grinned over at her sister, her anxiety disappearing now that her sister didn't run screaming..or demand another roommate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
