"In the wake of the attack on Cape Citadel by mutant terrorists earlier this month, much buzz has been made about the so-called "Mutant Problem" on Capital Hill in the most recent session of Congress. Speaking were both Valerie Cooper and Henry Peter Gyrich, members of the Commission on Superhuman Activities, along with noted expert on mutation Dr. Charles Xaiver, and Senator Robert Kelly, long-time proponent of super-human registration. Kelly again called for the registration of all mutant citizens of the United States...."


"A public survey today confirmed that 75% of Americans are in favor of mutant registration..."


"Unknown if the woman called Magneta actually possesses a connection to the former terrorist Magneto... The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver declined to comment..."


"Opinion is still split over whether or not the X-Men intervened to stop Magenta and her terrorists for heroic reasons or for something more sinister..."

Comments

[sonoflongshot]

He slung his arm around Angel and gave her a small squeeze. "The Magneta people or the talking heads on TV. I don't think any of them wear pants."

He gave Angel a small grin. Whichever ones he meant were up to her.

Aiden always could make her smile.

"You might be right about that, Sugah."

A sigh. "Ah just know the FoH chapter's gonna have a field day with this."

[sonoflongshot]

"No pants is a distraction. I know. You said you can't study when I don't have any on." He was trying to keep it light. Dwelling on it when they did not have it around them in the base would do neither of them any good.

He placed a soft kiss on the tip of her ear. "They bother you, let me know. We'll team up for invisible making their clubhouse stink."

[crawler_kid]

Angel chuckled. "Couldn't be any worse than those PETA people from last week and their whole "fur is murder" thing."

[sonoflongshot]

"Did you kick them in the asparagus?" They were vegetarians, right? They lost human fat and filled up with vegetables or something. Aiden shook his head a bit to get himself back to reality.

"I like my fur naked. And occasionally fluffy..."

[crawler_kid]

"Almost did," Angel said. "Bamfed out of the way of the paint just in time."

She ran a finger up and down his chest. "Would that have anything to do with why mah towels always go missin'?"

[sonoflongshot]

"Maybe I should find these paint-throwers and release a hundred gerbils where it would be most inconvenient..." His eyes narrowed as he tried to plot out how to move 100 gerbils stealthily.

Though his machinations got a little monkey wrenched by his sexy fiancée using her finger to distraction. He shifted a bit on the couch and tried to look innocent. "Missing towels?"

[crawler_kid]

"Don't reckon that'll be needed, Sugah. They were apologizin' enough."

She fixed him with a half-playful gaze. "Yes. Seems every time Ah take a shower, mah towels go missin'. And when Ah blow dry, Ah get all fluffy."

[sonoflongshot]

"Drat." Not that he sounded put out that his diabolical gerbil plan was quashed. Though he did try to keep up the pretense of looking innocent.

"I find fluffy sexy? So it all works out."

[crawler_kid]

That look did not work on her. But she could pretend it did.

It was hard to argue with that logic, though. "You do have a point, Sugah."

[sonoflongshot]

"Well you are very good at making me pointy. Possibly the best there is." He waggled his eyebrows at Angel. Not that his pants were pointy yet. He did try to tamp down on that impulse after being told clearly by one roommate that the security videos that cover most of the base were reviewed.

[crawler_kid]

Angel ran her tongue over her lips. "Ah am, aren't Ah?" she asked. "What say we go see about doin' some more of that?"

[sonoflongshot]

Mission: Distract Angel From Bad News was a rousing success.

"I'm always up for that," he assured earnestly. He brushed his fingertips of one hand across her shoulder while the other used the remote to turn the television off.
