Yellow spandex or try job hunting?

I say job hunt. That way you can buy something better than yellow spandex. Yellow's not a very pleasant color.

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yellow's actually my favorite color but yeah even I'm not a big fan on the spandex. Leave it to a guy, right?

*holds up her photo of Wolverine* This guy? Even he can't pull it off without looking goofy.

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
No. *shakes her head* My...mother gave me the photograph.

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Why would she give you a picture of Wolverine?

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
*looks a bit unnerved* Its kind of a long story.

I'm not his kid or anything just...*sigh* Guh. *hangs her head slightly. Words failed her.*

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
*Eyes widen* His kid?! I wasn't even thinking that? Are you? I mean I know you said you aren't but if you are you have to tell me? That makes you a *whispers* mutant, right?

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
We share a lot genetically but I'm not his. Uh...*she looked skyward for a moment then nodded*

*Awkward teenager is awkward*

No, it's okay. I am too. I'm Angel. I've actually worked with Wolv-- Logan back when I was with the X-men *smiles a little* So were you altered like he was or something else?

I'm a clone. Not an exact one unless Wolverine is one hell of a mannish chick but...and, yeah. I was altered.

Messed with. Altered. Not much of a difference.

I'm...the woman that gave me the picture said my name was Laura.

Nice to meet you Laura.

Oh wow. Does Logan know? Have you met him?

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
*shakes her head*

No. I don't know how he'll react. That worries me.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
You know, he's been around a long time and he's seen a lot. I'm sure it would be a bit of a shock but I doubt it would be the full scale freak out that you're afraid it would be. He's actually a really great guy albeit rough around the edges.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
What if I said I'm not sure how I'll react?

I'm not really...used to nice people. Or...people in general.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
*nods then smiles a little* I understand. I used to be pretty shy myself.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
*that worked. She didn't need to know the rest*

D...are you friends with Logan?

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Friends in a loose term, I guess. I mean I don't know him all that well but I don't know a lot of people all that well. I sort of retired a few years ago and lost touch with everyone. I trust him though. He's a good man to know in a fight.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take your word for it. *nodding but still looking slightly concerned*

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
*Shrugs* You don't have to. You could just find the courage to meet him. Even if you don't tell him who and what you are right away, you'd at least get to see what kind of man he is.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Thats a good idea...*nods slightly* Thank you for your help.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Any time, Laura. You know, you aren't alone. There are others of us. A whole school actually.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I'm supposed to go there to be safe and all.

Thats what I was told.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you don't have to but it might help to be around people understand what it's like being different.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like a smart place to be, all things considered.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
For both of us actually. That's sort of what I've been debating. I was outed as a mutant. I'm no better than a sex offender now. Every time I move to a new neighborhood all my neighbors will have to be notified that a mutant lives near them. I guess it was too much to ask to just be normal. So I either learn to live with it or I go back to Xavier's. Back to the super hero gig.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] x-twenty3.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
You should come back. Er...go back. I'm not there so saying come back didn't sound right.

*thinks for a moment* Maybe they need more teachers or something?

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
All the teachers are X-Men.

Re: Locked

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's kind of a package deal. Besides, I don't even know what I'd teach.

[identity profile] karolinad.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Job hunt. Being a super hero is overrated.

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
You sound like a woman who knows?

[identity profile] karolinad.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. I'm not like, Wonder Woman or anything. But I know that it totally sucks most of the time.

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Were you solo or on a team?

[identity profile] karolinad.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
On a team. So of course, everyone's always fighting with each other.

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
*chuckles* That sounds about right. I'm Angel by the way.

[identity profile] karolinad.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
*smiles* I'm Karolina. You were on a team, too?

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
A couple actually. Avengers most notably but I retired a few years ago. Wanted a normal life. That's sort of over now though.

[identity profile] karolinad.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
The normal life or the other stuff?

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure what the other stuff is but I wanted a life that was more than the next fight. I didn't want to have to share my fiance with a uniform. I wanted to go back to school. Maybe study fashion. Have a family. I just wanted to be normal. Not a mutant or a target or a weapon.

[identity profile] karolinad.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's funny how it's one of the only things that would actually make someone wish they were in school.

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. No kidding.

[identity profile] shayera-hawk.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Why not both?

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Job hunt in yellow spandex? I don't think I'd get hired anywhere.

[identity profile] acesupyersleeve.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Come on back Angel, no more yellow spandex (unless ya want it)

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
*Smiles softly* Wouldn't have much choice. If I come back to the school, I'd need my suit. Unless Hank Pym wants to make me a new less completely obvious one but he's the one that made me the skin tight yellow spandex get up. I'm almot afraid to find out what else he'd come up with.

[identity profile] acesupyersleeve.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
New Uniforms are still tight, but we get black leather now. If we got one that can withstand Bobby's cold, I'm sure they can work out somethin for you.

[identity profile] angelica-jinx.livejournal.com 2009-02-02 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not just being able to withstand the heat, when it's close enough to me I can keep it from burning off. It has to be able to pull radiation away from my body when I use my power. It was making me sterile. In fact, I don't think the spandex is spandex it just looks like it. Though black leather isn't much better. All I'd need is a whip.
