she couldn’t remember ANYTHING. just… cold. and she was SO COLD right now. cold meant… she was weak. her powers were weak. she wondered if she lost them again and for a moment , it’s almost like a WISH. A GLIMMER OF HOPE. maybe if lost them a second time then they wouldn’t come back. she might be proud of being a mutant but… her powers weren’t cool. they have been destructive ever since she got them and she DESTROYED everything and hurt all of those people.

naomi BLINKS. she’s in a hospital. flashbacks of the doctors… and the pain flood into her mind. she hates hospitals. she LOATHES doctors. she doesn’t trust them.

she moves her hands and starts to rip off whatever they were injecting into her body…

She was not a fan of Hospitals, that’s for sure, but whenever a family member was there for whatever reason, the blonde put her own fear aside to go and visit them and see what they wanted or needed so that she could be of assistance in any way possible so as she stood outside of Naomi’s hospital room for a few more seconds, she opens the door to see a rather alerting sight, Ariel’s feet making quick work to run to her cousin. “Naomi, no! It’s okay, you’re okay, I promise!” She states and looks around for a moment. “That’s your IV and they want to make sure that everything is fine.”

she didn’t mean to give the young woman a hard time, but she’d gotten used to the strict, polite norms of student-teacher interactions. ❝ it’s alright, dear. don’t worry about it, ❞ she assured her with a smile.

that’s right, she was a new mom. news travelled fast in the academy, so she was up to date on most big events like this. more than she would like to, sometimes.  ❝ motherhood will do that to you. how are the babies ? ❞

Taking in a deep breath, shoulders relax as the other woman reassures her that it’s alright. “I truly am sorry again, but I’ll try not to worry about it, no real guarantees though.” She muses with the smallest of laughs, clearing her throat afterwards.

“Yes, I do suppose that it would, the babies are doing just fine, thank you for asking, they’ll be three months soon which is crazy to me.” Ari says and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “Slowly, but surely, they are discovering how to sleep through the night, one half-hour at a time.”

Absentmindedly strolling outside of the Academy with the twins, the blonde had wanted to come and let the kids visit a friend of hers, but as she got closer to the school, the familiar face just a few feet away made her eyes light up as she begins to walk towards them, a warm smile on her lips as she looks over at her sibling, despite how she was mentally and physically feeling at that moment, it was always a nice sight to see any family members. "Li-Li!" Ari calls out as she got closer to them, stopping the stroller right beside her.

Lorna Dane had a lot of love in her to give. though she could come off as prickly and sarcastic, a life full of fighting alongside (and against) the X-Men made it certain that Lorna knew what feeling loved was. and that was even before she had her own children, who changed her definition of what Love really was. Ariel easily fit into that category. she felt many things for her brother, some good and some… not so good. the thing he definitely did right? Ari. Lorna had been quick to show the girl the same affection she showed not only her girls, but other X-Men children. now that Ari had twins, Lorna had made it clear she was always on call. though Ariel was not her child and the new babies were not her grandchildren…. well, titles weren’t important to the viridescent-clad mutant. They were her family, so the moment she saw Ari outside her door this early in the morning, she was quick to usher her inside, worry spiking instantly. She took the car seats and set them gently on the couch, both babes sleeping soundly from the car ride, before she returned to her niece, wrapping an arm around her, “Talk to me Ari. What do you mean?”

Watching as the car seats get taken over to the couch, the movement thankfully not disturbing the sleeping babies, Ariel’s feet soon begin to follow slowly over to the living room as well, the tears that had been trying to escape her eyes no longer held themselves together as they quickly fell onto her cheeks and the small amount of makeup that she had on to hide the eye bags from the mixture of insomnia, crying babies, and anxiety, was quickly ruined as the blonde reaches over and wraps her arms around her aunt, leaning her head onto her shoulder. “I love my kids, god knows that I do, but I-I just..” Taking in a deep breath, she swallows hard and hides her face with her hands. “I’m a terrible mother, I look at them and I don’t feel...anything?! I should be so happy, I want to be so happy and I want others to know how happy I am to have them here, but I feel both nothing and more emotions than I expected and it’s all too overwhelming.” She explains through her choked out sobs.

Miriam sighed and smiled at Ariel. “I know. Thanks.” Even if she knew, it was comforting to hear that her cousin had her back. Even if there wasn’t anything Ariel could do to help her. It was enough to make her feel a little emotional. “I think I just need a hug right now.”

“Of course.” She responds back and nods her head slowly at Miriam’s words, even when she knew that the others knew that she would do anything for them, she always liked to remind them of that every so often because of how much she did love her family. “I’ve heard that I’m rather good at giving hugs, ten out of ten would recommend.” Ari jokes as she wraps her arms around the younger girl.

●  ARIEL !!  ●

●  ——  perhaps it has something to do with how soft–hearted the spider is or maybe even simply the fact that he’s grown up the eldest brother in a household of adoptive siblings, but varik has always had a soft spot for children. it was an interaction with a young karina pryde in the supermarket that led to his close friendship with scarlet, after all, and he always manages to rustle up a few  ❛ extra ❜  flowers for any kids that come wandering with their parents into the florist shop when he’s working. it’s for that reason he can’t help but feel the tug at his heartstrings at the sight ( and sound ) of the distressed children that have come to occupy the corner of the room with their mother closest to the stool where he’s perched. it’s enough to make him forget  — if only for a moment  — the problems that plague his own thoughts. he shifts in his seat to better face them, offers a gentle smile when he realizes he’s caught the wide, teary gaze of one of the infants. and yeah, he knows it’s dark, but there’s enough light from the candles scattered across the counters and lab tables that he figures it might be worth it to try  —  so he lifts his hands, obscuring his face for several seconds before pulling them away to reveal a brighter grin. it’s not entirely sincere ( and honestly, how could it be, given the circumstances ? ) but he doesn’t suspect his newfound audience will notice.         ( @arielmaximoff )

Well, if Ariel had more things to worry about, at least she wouldn’t have to worry about whether or not her babies’ lungs were working since they seemed to prove just that as their cries didn’t dare silence in the lab, she had only been stuck here with this group for minutes now and yet she already felt as though she were on the verge of crying, tears threatening to spill as she continues to try to soothe both kids. “I know, I know, I promise you guys that it will be okay, everything will be fine.” Ari whispers to them as she gently wipes away Eliana and Benjamin’s tears from their cheeks, hoping that she could leave so that she could get to River and he could help out with caring for one of them since she didn’t want to give him all the hard work of caring for the two. As Eliana calms down a bit more, the blonde sucks in a deep breath and nods her head, not noticing the other at first before turning towards them, the smallest of smiles making its way onto her lips as the twins both stare at the other in slight confusion, a smile following onto their lips as well. “Thank you for that.” She whispers and looks down. “I really appreciate it.”

empvtias:

arielmaximoff: 

being in that room was too much. everything was too loud, too sharp. she was thankful they weren’t forcing her to stay inside, but even outside, in the hallways, she could still feel everything. it was her curse. ❝ ari, hey, ❞ she breathed out at the sight of her cousin, arms crossed over her chest. it was a gesture she repeated involuntarily when she found herself around her family, as if her arms could shield her from catching their emotions. ❝ i’m doing okay, ❞ she lied. ❝ just needed a breather. what about you ? the babies ? ❞

Offering the smallest of smiles towards her cousin, she sucks in a deep breath and fiddles absentmindedly with her necklace. “I’m fine.” She quickly replies and visibly winces as to how quick she responded, but just clear her throat. “If you ever need anything or anyone to talk to, I’m here. Eliana is with River, and Ben is finally sleeping, thank god.” She muses, opening up the top of the wrap a little to show Daphne where Benjamin lay peacefully sleeping on her chest.

[arielmaximoff]

@empvtias

Sighing softly as she roamed the hallways with Benjamin in the wrap that was tied around her chest, she had been returning from checking up on River, but as she barely got pass the cafeteria, the familiar face of her cousin made her feel a bit more relieved to know that she was okay, physically at least. “Daph!” Ari says as she quickly walks over to the other and finally stops when she’s walking right by her. “Hey, how are you doing, hun?” She questions and nervously chews on her lip.

[arielmaximoff]

sugvrspice:

“ WHAT do you want ? “ eyebrows raise as she reaches in the small bag and eats one of the chips. ( sidenote: she most definitely did break into the vending machine to get it. ) she had heard the footsteps long before she had said anything. she hated being cooped up in one small area , it reminded her TOO MUCH or her PAST with small areas. 

“A way to get both of my babies to relax and sleep even though I can’t blame them for feeling this way because it’s nerve-wracking, but if you meant what I want from you, the answer would be nothing, unless you do know a way to calm them down.” Ari muses with a small laugh before frowning and continuing to bounce Benjamin. “How are you doing?” She questions and tilts her head to the side.

danielthorson:

“No-no I have to find her. You don’t understand! S-she can’t be alone!” Daniel found himself practically shouting at the professor in front of him, as he attempted to move past them, into the hallway- into the darkness. “I’m sorry,” he mumbled, as he pushed passed them, before running into the darkness. Blindly stumbling through the hallway- it felt like an eternity before he collided into another person, sending himself crashing to the ground. “I’m so sorry! I should’ve paid attention to where I was going- it’s just I need to find Phoebe. She’s missing and she shouldn’t be alone,” he found himself beginning to ramble as he pushed himself off the ground. 

Running through the hallways as she nearly stumbles into something that appears in the corner, Ariel quickly turns away from the statue and feels a hard body, knocking her back as well as she hits the ground and groans. “No, no, er sorry, I wasn’t paying attention either.” She admits and shakes her head. “I just wanted to quickly get something for my babies, but hold on, okay, take a deep breath please, I don’t want you passing out or anything, but we’ll find her, I promise.”

“I am really trying for that.” He admitted. “But this is hard, I don’t like people.” He said, before looking at her and smiling at her words. “A year ago I wouldn’t have say that. I would’ve said you were the most annoying person I’d ever known. That changed a lot.” He said before smiling again, kissing her lips slowly. “My sister is my sister. Thus, she sucks.” He stated.

“I know you are, and I’m sorry that it’s so hard, I wish there was a way to make it easy for you that way you can have some more friends, which would be a good thing, but no one is forcing you to do this.” She muses with a shake of her head. “Some people do suck though so, can’t really blame you there.” Ari admits in a whisper as she smiles a little and hides her face in his neck. “I bet you thought that of me when we were still dancing around our feelings.” She states and kisses back softly. “That..makes no sense.”

“ well , if i were you , i wouldn’t trust anyone who comes out of arkham asylum to take care of anyone , “ there was a somewhat seriousness to her tone. but she knew the other would play it off as a joke. “ kill another pet ? i didn’t know you were so into murder , miss maximoff. “

“Who says that I do?” She questions and shrugs her shoulders, eyes slightly widening at the other’s next words. “No, no, I’m not into murder, it was just a suggestion to see if you could ever care for one, not to kill them.”

            “ i said you’re falling asleep, “ moira was BORED which was how most troubling stories started with her now a days. she might have spent years doing nothing for days at a time— but now she had been given a taste of life and kept coming back for more. “ isn’t that dangerous? “ the only person around is this girl. which. moira figures she can talk to her. for now. “ someone could sneak up on you. “ 

“Really now? Gee, I hadn’t noticed.” She jokes and rubs her eyes, starting to sit up as she sighs and puts her hand on her head for a moment, relaxing when some of the pain starts to slowly subside. “Why would that be dangerous? I’ll just splash them with water or something if they try to sneak up on me.”

“Yeah, but…” Billy tilts his head, his instincts warning him that something is not quite right. “I don’t know. I don’t remember you falling asleep in public before, Ari.”

“But what? How could you even know? Dad hardly ever let me see you or the rest of the family other than for holidays, for all you know, I could have slept in public all of the time, just leave this alone, would you?” Ariel snaps, taking a moment to take in a deep, but shaky breath as she realises what she has just done and looks down. “I-I’m sorry.”

“Thanks.” Alexandra smiled. It was an odd feeling for her, to like how she looked. And while the constant purple still made her uncomfortable, she felt like for once she had control over her looks. “I’ve never had it this short before.”

“Of course.” Ari muses and touches her own long blonde hair for a moment. “God, I don’t think that I could ever have as much bravery as you to chop my hair off.”

“ because we can’t have nice things and it’s a clear sign that i should never be in charge of someone’s life. “

“Note to self, don’t have you babysit my kids.” She jokes with a small laugh and looks down. “No, but seriously, maybe you can try again with a pet, at some point.”
