“No, you must strike harder, faster.” diana explained, as she watched her students swing the practice swords that she leant them, not at each other of course not yet, this was armed combat after all. “Don’t just swing your weapon blindly around.” clearly disapproving, her arms crossed across her chest. “Would you like me to show you again?”
he never saw the point in learning combat. he could easily just deploy a drone at his command. but , he’d been trying a lot of things recently. he didn’t want to be just known as that tech guy as much as that was his comfort zone. ❛ uh.... yes , please , ❜ eli sighed.
“Don’t fucking say anything.” Helena was covered head to toe in paint, a mishap during one of her art classes leading to the mess. Annoyance and anger, both directed at herself for once, left her unable to hold a form that would hide the paint, shades of red and blue and white. “Pretend you never fucking saw me.”
❛ please don’t shout. ❜ his implants weren’t great with extremely loud noises or voices. but , he also just didn’t appreicate it. her anger & the paint dripping from them did bring a smirk to his lips afterwards though , a small chuckle slipping out. ❛ i’m sorry. you just ... look so stupid. what happened to you , helena ?? ❜ he quickly pulled out his phone to snap a quick pic. ❛ luckily , it’ll just wash off , but this photo. it’s for life. ❜
“Not to freak you out, but see that person over there?” Devyn motioned her head to behind them. “Totally have been checking you out for the past like, ten minutes.”
he rolled his eyes , looking up from his phone , casting a quick glance towards the person — wasn’t really their type. ❛ not interested. & anyway , they’re clearly checking you out , dev. ❜ eli continued to use their phone until they found what they needed. his ability certainly came in handy during situations like this. ❛ here , ❜ he practically shoved the device in her face , ❛ their number. ❜ they were using public wifi like an absolute buffoon. rookie mistake.
william looked up from his bowl of cereal, a familiar glint in his eyes as he focused his attention to eli, a smirk quickly appearing across his face as he heard the other mention nevada. normally, he’d have no interest in going to some boring state all the way across the country, but area 51 did catch his interest. “that sounds like a wonderful idea,” he responded, before turning his focus back towards his breakfast. “when is that happening?”
a grin spread across their face , pleased that the plans were coming together nicely. only a buffoon would try to break into the infamous base & eli was happy to watch with a box of popcorn from the sidelines. ❛ three days , but the flight is in ... , ❜ he signs before checking the dates on the screen , ❛ sixteen hours. so get to packing. ❜
he looked over at his brother - in - law with a look that said ‛ this is stupid but you’ll like this idea ’ before swinging around on his chair. ❛ do you want to go to nevada ?? i just got a bunch of tickets. ❜ he said with a sheepish smile , rolling back in his chair to show to show the ticket’s on the screen. ❛ we can all watch a bunch of assholes try to get in to area 51 and fail. ❜

HISTORY
elijah was born on the last hour of september the 22nd , the first day of fall to a mutant mother & human father , lydia cohen ford & elias gao. lydia hid her powers from almost everyone around her , aside from her husband.
knowing the predicament the child would be in , though , they left eli on the stairs of nunnery , hoping they could protect them from the outside world. it was run by a small group of nuns who took children in to protect them. there were about twenty other children there , only one of whom eli befriended , also a mutant , who’s parents at died in an anti - mutant protest. they were both targeted with anti - mutant hatred throughout their time there , by other children & the nuns too.
it was at the age of five that eli was diagnosed with progressive hearing loss , something that caused him to be targeted even more. he was became profoundly deaf at fourteen , using cochlear implants ever since.
their powers began manifesting when they were five , something the nuns took note of. it started with malfunctioning computers & appliances when frustrated to being able to communicate with them. it eventually all blew up when he inadvertently caused a blender to attack one of the other children during a fight.
xavier’s institute quickly caught wind of this & came to assess the situation , bringing him back to the school. he didn’t talk much the first few months. he didn’t feel comfortable , in many ways. they were terrified of other people there , assuming the worst. but , with the help of the professors , he really began to come out of his shell & eventually adopted by charles & erik.
he officially came out as trans at the age of fifteen , and started transitioning two years later , before realising he was also non binary. they’ve always been too scared to speak about their dysphoria , even more so at the nunnery. & coming to xavier’s , he was grateful to have found such loving and supportive people.
he became curious about his birth family in his early tweens , but was afraid to tell his friends & family he was looking into it , with only one person knowing. he tried went to the nunnery first , bringing a friend along. it was a dead end. he even tried his powers , but they were nowhere as advanced as they are now. finally , he came to charles about it , hoping he could help. & just when he thought there was a sliver of hope , their father informed them that his parents were both deceased , killed in a purifier attack.
it was only recently that he found out that this was a lie , when his birth mother tried to get hold of him in recently. he hasn’t told anyone yet , not even his adoptive family. & he hasn’t responded to her either , angry about why she’d hide for so long from him.
PERSONALITY
he gets easily frustrated with the people around him. they’re super judgemental , like if a friend is doing something stupid , he won’t be afraid to voice that shit. doesn’t believe in astrology , which he labels as bullshit , despite acknowledging the existence of magic. he gets really bad anxiety , but he does his best to hide it. he’s generally quiet open about his feeling , but when it comes to anxiety , he views it as a weakness. super fussy. everything has to be a very specific way for him. it’s impossible to go out eating with eli.
