Eryn heard Charles call out from the room. “Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out!” she said and headed out her bag on her shoulder. “It can’t be that big,” she added a little quieter, well aware that the mansion it self was huge. 

She wandered down the halls going up and down stairs. May as well take the advantage to look around, seeing as she could be headed home tomorrow. This might be the only chance she got to see the legendary school. Despite the grim outlook tomorrow, she tried to enjoy her surroundings. The school really was beautiful, she could only imagine what it must have looked like when students had been rushing around and the place was void of cobwebs. Mahogany floors polished, marble columns, a blooming garden, giant windows that gave the rooms natural light. If she did go home, at least she would be an expert on what it looked like inside. She wasn’t usually a big person on bragging rights, but breaking into this mansion was pretty cool. 

At the same time she was aware that she was ignoring what she had seen a few minutes ago with Charles. Was it something she would be willing to bring up tomorrow at breakfast? She’d make that decision tomorrow, but she could already feel a part of her saying, You’re never going to see the man again if you leave. May as well say something. Maybe you can help. She shook her head, it was silly of her to even think that way. He didn’t want help. 

Soon enough she found what looked like student dorms a while back. She picked a room that suited her and when her head hit the pillow she didn’t have time to register how exhausted she was. The sun was already starting to peak through the trees when she fell asleep.

Jean smiled, finding Avery’s flustered nature endearing. “That’s fascinating. Maybe I’ll see it sometime. I’m assuming Charles is going to want you guys to start training with us soon. That’s something to look forward to.” She enjoyed it most days. Others when the situations were tough, they left her exhausted and sore. “What exactly did you do before all this?” she asked and added, “Hank’s fun to work with. He’s had me take things apart and put them together. That knowledge came in handy when rebuilding the school.” 

Sounds good, have fun with that one, she thought back to Emily. If you need anything, just let me know. 

He circled his arms giving his best impression before miming catching a fly with his fingers as chopsticks in front of their faces. He looked down briefly at the tap on his chest. “Oh bring it! It’s on,” Peter said. “Make that two boxes.” He laughed following her gaze and made a small wave at the two and blew them a kiss before following Emily. 

“I can control time and motion. They sort of go hand in hand.” Avery had never met anyone as fascinating as Jean, at least from what he’d heard. It wasn’t everyday you met the one who’s stopped the apocalypse. “I work mostly with Hank. My gig before all of this made me pretty good with my hands. Building things, I mean. That wasn’t a pick up line.” His cheeks flushed once more. He was having a terrible time just taking with her.

Emily laughed at her brother as he tripped over his words. He always got tongue tied when he was around one of his crushes, but this had been the worst she’d seen. ‘I’ll leave you two to get acquainted,’ she sent to Jean.

“I bet you could karate kid? Wax on. Wax off” she teased Peter, mimicking the motions from the movie. She gave him a playful tap on the chest between his hands, already distracting him. “Why don’t we battle it out on Altered Beast instead? I bet you a box of your Twinkies I make it to the end faster.” She glanced over her shoulder at her brother and Jean. “Besides, the lovebirds obviously need some time to get to know each other,” she laughed. Not to mention she wanted to get to know Peter better without her big brother looking over her shoulder.

With the last of this sickness behind me, I’m back. Get ready for some replies.

Places where reality is a bit altered:

• any target • churches in texas • abandoned 7/11’s • your bedroom at 5 am • hospitals at midnight • warehouses that smell like dust • lighthouses with lights that don’t work anymore • empty parking lots • ponds and lakes in suburban neighborhoods • rooftops in the early morning • inside a dark cabinet

“What’s your mutation,” Jean asked turning towards him. “I’m in a few one on one classes with him where we work on things that have more to do with telepathy and telekinesis. Other than that, I’m in mostly regular classes, and training hours.” 

Jean gave Emily a knowing smile, as she felt them growing more distant. Peter would keep her company. Peter whipped up his fighting stance, fully equipped with karate hands, “Oh you think so? Bring it on,” he said playfully. “I just happen to know some sick moves myself.”

“Yea. Xavier’s got me in a whole bunch of stuff. Mostly to control my powers better. Late bloomer and all,” he said running a hand through his hair. “I imagine he’s got you in some pretty advanced classes, all things considered.”

It was as of Peter and Emily weren’t even around. Avery focused all his attention on Jean. Had he not been her brother, she would have been offended, but he didn’t get this stuck on someone very often so she let it slide.

“I bet I could show you a thing or two about combat,” she said to Peter with a smirk and a raised brow. She liked his spunk. And since Avery seemed to be more interested in the red headed psychic she didn’t see the trouble with going off on their own.

Peter gave a small wave to Avery as he was introduces. He laughed and shot a smile at Emily, wiggling his eyebrows when her brother started talking to Jean.

“It’s nice to meet you, Avery. The Professor is glad to have you both here,” Jean said with a smile, “It’s alright, I understand. The end of the world isn’t the greatest selling point for the school, but it comes up. Are you planning to take classes here?”

Peter held his arms up with a little shrug, “What can I say? I’ve got a way with words.” He clapped Avery on the shoulder partly to show he meant no offense as he laughed at his expense, but also to maybe give Avery the support he might need as he pined after Jean.

Jean turned towards Emily, “He may have left out a small bit. I wouldn’t be able to do much if Peter hadn’t given him a few good punches first.”

Emily smirked at the smile on Peter’s face. “Guys. This is Avery. My big overprotective brother.” She gave him a nudge as she introduced him. “Peter and Je–,” she said introducing the two of them.

“Jean Grey,” Avery cut off and finished for her.

Emily gave a him a confused look and continued on. “–an. They’ve been showing me around.” Avery started talking to Jean as if no one else was there. “I’ve heard a lot about you from the professor. Not that we sit around and talk about you. I mean, he told me about the whole end of the world thing when he recruited me…I’m gonna stop now,” he said with a laugh.

Em couldn’t help but laugh at the way his cheeks burned. Her brother was acting like an idiot. And all because he seems to have a crush on Jean. Emily wouldn’t be surprised if she was half the reason he’d decided to come to the school in the first place.

“I think I prefer Peter’s version of the apocalypse,” she said glancing over her shoulder at him. “At least he didn’t get tongue-tied,” said with a playful nudge and laugh. Avery’s cheeks burned even brighter.

Eryn hovered near the doorway, feeling that she in a way had made this more of a problem then it had to be simply by coming to the mansion at night. Still, she found herself watching. Standing there she realized that she must have put her bag down somewhere and thought it would be a good idea to go find it. “I’ll, um, speak to you tomorrow Professor,” she said while I’m sorry played in her thoughts. 

She didn’t fully understand everything he was trying to tell her about thoughts, but she knew that it seemed similar to something she experienced. Still, there would be time enough to ask him tomorrow, when he was in a better state. Or, so she hoped. She had no idea how exactly this medicine worked, when it kicked in. She put the thought aside and turned to go. She’d done enough. 

Eryn noticed that Charles had responded as though he had plucked those words from her mind. Despite this she noted his quick defense and failed to ignore the comment he made. You’re only saying that because you know it’s hurting you. People only get angry when they hear a truth they’re not ready to face yet. 

How much of it can he hear? Eryn tried to get her thoughts away from anything that would irritate him further and focused on getting him up the stairs. She played concentration with herself. Category is… names. Charles, Joe, Maria, Hank, Joanne, Claire, Andrew. Step after step, they made it to the top. 

They shuffled to the door, and inside Hank was preparing the medicine, a needle in hand and a rubber tourniquet draped over his shoulder. Instantly Eryn felt as though she was seeing something vulnerable and turned her eyes to the ground as she continued to support Charles’ weight.

the most implausible thing about superhero movies is that these guys make their own suits, like seriously those toxic chemicals did NOT give you the ability to sew stretch knits, do you even own a serger

In the first episode of Netflix’s Stranger Things, there’s a slip of an X-Men reference. It’s tiny, barely there. “Race back to my place? Winner gets a comic,” Dustin says, as he and Will speed home. “Any comic?” Will says, before taking off into the darkness. “I’ll take your X-Men 134!” That mention of a specific X-Men comic is the last thing Will says to his friend, and to the audience, before disappearing. And it’s not just a random comic book in Dustin’s collection. Uncanny X-Men No. 134 is one of the most popular and significant issues in X-Men canon. It kicks off the most important X-Men story in Marvel history, and it contains the first appearance of one of the most destructive forces in the X-Men universe. And viewed through the lens of Stranger Things, it’s both a taste of what’s to come on the show and an homage to the X-Men character known as Jean Grey.

Stranger Things is a love letter to the X-Men’s Jean Grey

Jean walked with her. Fair enough, she thought. In fact it would be strange for someone to want her in their head. She thought for now it was best not to pry. Emily would show what she wanted when she was ready to. 

Peter was quite ready to act out the whole thing. He was already making his best Apocalypse face as he turned to face Emily. His face was in a scowl and his arms out to make himself look bigger, “Oh, man, you should’ve seen him let me tell you...” when he heard a voice. He straightened up and observed the situation, a small smile on his face as he watched the family reunion. 

It reminded him enough of seeing his own little sitter when he went home. He’d open the door and peek in, slowly coming in and throwing his stuff down. He’d hear footsteps fumble down the stairs fast enough he thought his sister would just roll down the rest. She’d run into him as he picked her up saying, “Hey, kiddo, what have you been up to?” 

Jean had heard about the brother from Charles, but never met him in person. Still, she thought she’d let the siblings catch up before introducing herself to him. She wondered how long it had been since they had seen each other. 

‘Think I’ll save it for top secret stuff,’ she passed on in response. As much as Emily thought Jean’s mutation was indeed amazing, she wasn’t ready for anyone to go digging around in her thoughts. There was too much she wanted to keep hidden.

“About this apocalypse, what exactly did you do to thwart it?” she asked as they walked on. “From what I understand she was the only reason it didn’t happen.” Emily turned at the sound of her brother’s voice behind her. It had been a long time since they’d seen each other, and he’d decided to become on of Xavier’s students leaving her behind. A twinge of anger over the forced separation tugged at her heart, but the joy of finally being reunited overruled it.

“Avery!” she said letting her excitement take over as she pulled him into a tight hug. “Where the hell have you been? Thought you’d be the one to show me around since you were so keen on Charles finding me,” she said parting herself from him.

He had changed so much. She almost didn’t recognize the man in front of her as she took him in. Obviously his time here had been good to him. “I was with the professor actually. Plus I know how much you hate when your big brother bosses you around,” he teased her.
