Emma wasn’t one to involve herself in human affairs. Not like how she used to with the Hellfire Club, manipulating events into their favour by having world leaders and politicians under their thumb. Though she was currently learning the errors of her ways with the X-Men, she helped the humans cause it was the right thing to do but not because she liked it. She never mistaken tolerance for trust. In a way, it was nice that they could go back to this unknown status.
Stepping into the higher class bar, she was going to at least enjoy herself. “A Manhattan please.” She said as she stood at the bar. As she watched her drink be made, she glanced over at an altercation that seemed to be happening between one of the waitresses and a customer. She watched for a moment before looking away, instead choosing to focus on her drink being made. They were humans. They wouldn’t step in for her kind. Glancing again, Emma saw the man becoming too touchy for anyone’s liking as he was rebuffed. It reminded her of when she started as a dancer at the Hellfire Club. God damn the X-Men and their moral code as she walked on over.
She clicked her fingers with a sharp snap, causing him to look at her. Before he could even utter a word, Emma already went into that sty he called a mind. “You don’t want a margarita. You want a flat, half-empty beer.” She told him, looking him in the eyes as her telepathy took grasp and he happily obliged with the command as she handed him the leftover drink as he got up to leave. Though some people raised a brow at why he would listen to her so easily, Emma stayed quiet, taking her drink instead as she made her way to a booth to sit alone or so she thought. @rewrittenstart
