Of course Riley couldn’t resist. Ironic that they were called the X-Resistance too. The repeat of what Audrey told her not to repeat made her sigh and this time she didn’t just hold it back. She lifted a hand and rubbed her forehead as if a little headache was starting to form. Ma’am made her sound older than she was and it was also just weird hearing it from someone she’s known for a while. Even if Riley was joking about it. “Not going to happen,” Audrey responded bluntly at Riley’s hopeful offer, crossing her arms and letting her gaze sweep the hallway. “Do you really plan on remaining here the whole night?”

Riley didn’t expect Audrey to take the offer, but she hoped that maybe the woman’s muscles were feeling a bit stiff or something. Regardless, she shook it off and simply smiled. “Well, if you’re unwilling to go to the fun, I have to bring it to you,” she answered. “I mean, you can tell me to go away, consent and everything, but am I really so bad that you’d find it more preferable to spend the next few hours staring at an empty hall than with me?” She pouted and dramatically clutched her heart. “Because that would actually hurt.”

As much as Audrey could scold Riley’s recklessness, it wasn’t like she’d want her friend to change either. She wouldn’t change anyone there. Everyone was who they were. They were all comrades, one way or another. Of course, if they were actually in some dire situation, she’d certainly want Riley to be serious about it. But still. The salute made her raise an eyebrow. “Don’t call me, ma’am,” she retorted, giving her a look before the question made her pause. “That,” she began, licking her teeth as she turned more toward her. “… is fair.” Riley just had to go and make a good point, didn’t she?

Unable to resist, Riley teasingly gave another, “Yes, ma’am.” Audrey was far too serious and Riley knew that she was right about that. There was no denying that their situation was life-or-death, but they couldn’t live every moment anxious about the next. Life had to be about more than just surviving and it felt like too many people here had forgotten that. “Why don’t you take an early night then? I can even cover for you if this hallway really needs to be patrolled,” she joked. Riley’s offensive skills were limited, seeing as she needed to touch people to use them, but that didn’t mean she was completely useless. She was borderline invulnerable and could seriously maim if given the opportunity to.

liliana sat on a table with her legs crossed, seemingly scribbling furiously on a piece of paper. she was unaware of the strange facial expressions that resembled attempts to not sneeze. without looking up, she pointed directly at the nearest person. her abilities made sensing the presence of others particularly easy. “quick, if octavian were an octopus, what color would he be?”

“Grey and dull,” was the immediate answer that came to Riley’s head. She raised her brow at the randomness of the question and took a seat next to Liliana. Some mutants had just returned from a mission and she had done their checkups so as far as she was concerned, she was free for the rest of the day and needed someone to kill time with. “What are you up to?”

When Riley said that she needed to see the scars to heal them she figured that meant it was for her to take her clothes off, if she understood it wrong, if Riley couldn’t remove all her scar, because there were more than she originally thought 42 wasn’t going to complain, she understood that some powers had limitations, besides they were normal for her, she couldn’t remember a time she didn’t had one.

She watched as Riley used her abilities on her, her touches were gentle, it that was almost unfamiliar to her body to be touched this carefully, but again, maybe this was normal, it would take her some time to learn what was normal for everyone else, but hopefully she wouldn’t sound so weird, from meeting Riley she had learned that people offered their hands for you to shake, she wasn’t exactly sure when she should do that, but if someone gave her a hand she would at least know to shake it. 42 also learned to say nice to meet you and that it was normal to call people gorgeous.

“That one is still new.” Kate said, she had got that scar and a few purples around her body from the last mission she did it with her team, it still hurt, specially when she took a deep breath, so Kate was just not taking deep breaths.

Riley frowned. Despite her easy-going nature and tendency to not be serious enough, she cared about people and seeing all the damage and pain that had been inflicted on Katherine did not sit well with her. No one deserved this kind of treatment and it was obvious that it was the only kind of treatment Katherine ever had. She removed her hand from the deeper injury and returned to healing the scars. This was too slow and Riley figured she could use Katherine’s powers to their advantage in this situation.

“This injury... your bruises. Anything new. Transfer it to me,” she stated. Riley’s eyes met Katherine’s to show her seriousness. “My body heals itself automatically so it will make this process faster while I focus on your scars,” she explained.

They were night and day when it came to personalities. However, in the grand scheme of things, it was loyalty that mattered. They both cared about the X-Resistance, about helping new mutants, and that was what was important. Riley could be a wild child sometimes, but Audrey still saw her as a fellow comrade and a friend. “Hm,” she started as she mulled over Riley’s explanation, looking at her again. “You do make a good point,” Audrey admitted, cracking a smile. “Though chores are still important as well. Don’t just think that you can start neglecting those.” It was a light warning, a little scold.

Audrey’s smile was enough to double Riley’s. They were rather rare so she considered every one a personal achievement and a sign of a job well done. While Riley would be lying if she said that she was such a clown and joker for everyone else’s benefit, she liked to think her easy-going and fun personality lightened the load just a bit for the people around her. Their cause was no joke and a lot of their backgrounds were tragic, but being able to let go for even a few moments had to be worth something, right?

“Yes, ma’am,” she saluted. “As long as you don’t think that you can start neglecting your own well-being. When was the last time you took a break?”

Kate nodded, she was used to pain so even if it did hurt she wasn’t going to complain, normally when she complained about something being done to her all that it accomplished was that being done over and over again, she doubted Riley was like that, she doubted anyone in there would punish her for doing something they didn’t liked, but still, she didn’t wanted to be rude with the people that were being so nice to her.

She watched as Riley worked on her, making her scar disappear one by one, she couldn’t but wonder more about her abilities, what else she could do, but she kept her question to herself letting Riley to focus on healing her.

Kate nodded and took her shirt off, she wasn’t embarrassed about being naked in front of someone, she didn’t exactly had privacy growing up, the scientist were always afraid that they would find ways to escape, so she always had someone watching her while she took a shower, so much that it was normal for her.

She took her pants off, letting Riley to see her body and all the scars covering her almost completely, some from bullets, knifes, burns, some she didn’t even knew what they were to say to speak the truth. “My abilities allows me to transfer wounds, I can heal someone completely, but the injury needs a place to go, that place is normally me.” She didn’t necessary had to put on herself, but someone would always have to get hurt.

Riley’s eyes widened, when Katherine began to strip right in front of her. Riley knew she implied it herself, but she wasn’t expecting the woman to be so brazen to just do it then and there. Riley herself would do the same thing but that was because she was overly confident and a little bit crazy. She didn’t expect the same from anyone else.

Despite her surprise and the mildly inappropriate circumstances of seeing someone naked mere minutes after meeting them, Riley did her best not to react. Instead, she kept her eyes focused on the newly exposed scars. They were literally everywhere and every scar seemed to be worse than the last. Riley couldn’t help but wince as she imagined how painful every single one of them was to endure. The kind of power Katherine was describing sounded deadly, but also incredibly painful. Riley hoped that any use of it from now on would be offensive.

Her fingers ran gently over a particularly large one by Katherine’s abdomen, focusing on that one first. A little frown appeared on her face as she focused on it--noting that it might not have healed as well as it should have. “This one might take longer. There are internal problems...” she explained.

42 tilted her head at her question, not exactly sure what a zoo was, but she did understood the word animal. “Some scientist like to describe me as a lab rat. I’m not sure if it is the same as zoo animal.” She answered like it was a normal thing to say, she didn’t understood how bad that expression was supposed to be, for her, it was just words put together, and she was in a lab, so maybe the scientist was right?

Kate watched as Riley moved her thumb over the tattoo on her wrist, she knew that most people would jump at the opportunity to have that number gone, but not her, that tattoo was the only constant in her life, besides she would still like to try to find 38, and he wouldn’t know who she was without the tattoo.

Her powers served her team very well, being able to take the damage for them or place the damage on the enemy made her very efficient to be used as a weapon, unfortunately her powers weren’t that good for her since her abilities didn’t involved healing. “You can?” Katherine asked not exactly sure what Riley’s abilities were. “Could you leave my number?” 42 asked.

Riley didn’t know why Katherine wanted to leave the number alone--not when it was basically a brand that marked her as property--but she was going to respect the woman’s wishes regardless. Despite her powers, Riley tried her best to respect other people’s bodily autonomy and never did anything that people didn’t specifically want or, in the case of an emergency, what was needed to save their life.

“This might feel a bit weird but it shouldn’t hurt.” She took Katherine’s hand and stared at the scar on her palm, focusing on it as she tried to undo the scar. As far as she understood it, scars were formed because the tissue formed was simply different. All it would take was to change the tissue.

She visualized what she wanted to happen and Katherine’s body responded in turn, the cells shifting in in place to do exactly that. The scar on her palm quickly evened out and Riley moved on from there, travelling up Katherine’s entire arm and removing each one.

Riley continued this process on the rest of Katherine’s exposed skin, clearing up the ones she could see. When she finished, she pulled her hand away and smiled. “I can’t really sense scars so if there are others, I need to be able to see them,” she explained. “How did you get them, if you don’t mind me asking?”

Audrey nearly rolled her eyes at that but stopped herself, just watching in amusement as Riley quickly threw up the white flag. “Good,” she responded bluntly. “We’re on the same page then.” A smile formed at the edge of her lips and she hummed before looking forward again. Of course, it was true that she’d never actually hurt her, not intentionally. “Don’t you have anything… productive to do?” She hummed.

At Audrey’s question, Riley shrugged and shook her head. Her hands found their way into her pockets as she leaned against the wall, not looking even an inch like Audrey did. The woman was so posed and very much the serious guard that people knew her to be. Riley could barely keep her shoulders squared--a far cry from the girl everyone wanted her to be.

“Unless someone gets hurt, which none of us want, I don’t really have anything going on,” she answered. “Besides, wouldn’t you rather have a well-rested healer in case something does happen? There’s no point in me using all my energy doing chores when I’m better off saving myself for emergencies.”

katherine-smith:

42 never had to introduce herself before, people at the lab knew who she was, and were forbidden to speak with her, the team that she worked with that were allowed to interact with her already knew who she was, in fact they were the one that gave her a name hoping to make her feel better, the only time she introduced herself was for 38, but they spoke with notes over a small hole on the wall, she didn’t exactly knew how to behave, so she was doing her best to try to learn those things that should be normal to someone. “It is nice to meet you as well Riley.” She figured it was the polite thing to say it back. “Yes… I just arrived.” Which also explain why she was completely lost and entered a room that she wasn’t suppose to. “I’m…” She wasn’t exactly sure how to explain, she didn’t wanted to lie, but she also didn’t want to scare the woman in front of her. “I’m someone’s property.” She answered, 42 didn’t exactly know much about the people that raised her, Kate turned her hand and showed her number ID tattooed on her wrist. “They were going to kill me, so I had to hide.”

Riley’s eyes widened, definitely not expecting the answer that she got. Someone’s property? That was a unique way to phrase it. “Like a zoo animal?” she asked, the words slipping out before she could stop them. Her eyes went down to the exposed number and she couldn’t help but reach out and grasp her arm underneath the tattoo. She knew about government and private corporate experiments, but it was still difficult to believe that kind of stuff happened to actual people--all because they were different.

“I can remove this for you, you know,” Riley offered, her thumb running over the tattoo. When Riley looked back up, her grin had fallen to expose a more softer smile. Things were turning serious and while Riley was very bad at serious, she knew that it was sometimes necessary.

As she took in the rest of Katherine, her eyes gliding over her exposed skin, Riley smile soon disappeared into a frown. Katherine was covered in scars and Riley couldn’t help but wonder what kind of pain inflicted them. “I can remove all of them...” Her other hand reached out and ran over Katherine’s palm, finding a particularly large scar there.

Katherine couldn’t help but stare as the girl changed her face back, to what she assumed it was how she normally looked like, it was weird for her to see someone using their powers so casually, it wasn’t like hers could be used for anything fun. She looked at the girl’s hand that came in her direction, she wasn’t exactly sure what she was supposed to do with it, trying not to look so weird she copied the other’s move and held her hand out as well. “I’m Forty…” She stopped for a second. “…Katherine.” She said shyly.

Riley raised her brow at the almost answer, not sure what to make of it. Katherine definitely wasn’t forty. All she could tell was that the woman seemed incredibly nervous and confused. Riley took it upon herself to close the gap between their hands and shook them, the smile never fading from her face. “It is nice to meet you, Katherine.” She let go of her hand and cocked her head to the side, taking in the woman. “You’re new here, right? I would never miss such a pretty face,” she mused. “What brings you to the Headquarters?” Despite the ease in which she asked the question, Riley sincerely hoped that the answer wouldn’t be a bad one.

Kate was feeling overwhelmed, everything changed so fast, the only few people she knew would now be hunting her down, not used to being around so many people she entered the first door she saw wanting some quiet space for her to getter her thoughts, what she didn’t expected was to enter a room that was already occupied. “I’m sorry…” She said looking down. “I didn’t mean to disturb you.” She said politely.

Riley was staring at herself in the mirror, focused on the sight of her nose. She had been altering it slightly in order to see how much change would be enough to make her face look almost completely different but still hadn’t found the key spot yet. There were only so many disguises she could take with her powers limitations so she needed to be exact. When the door behind her burst open, she immediately turned around, a reassuring grin on her face. “No big deal. I was just being vain.” Within seconds, her nose shifted and returned to normal. She approached the woman and held out her hand for a shake. “The name’s Riley. What’s yours, gorgeous?”

Ah, the whole frowning causes wrinkles thing. A classic. “Hmm,” she mumbled, crossing her arms over her chest and shrugging back. “I’m sure you look great in old age.” It could’ve been a sarcastic comment but either way, she just kept eyeing Riley as the healer refused to leave. Which was not a surprise. Riley decided to post up right beside her and the brunette huffed softly. Turning her head, she sent her a narrowed-eyed look. “Come closer and I’ll show you how it feels to have frostbite.”

Riley smirked and nodded. “You’re right. I’d still look pretty hot,” she agreed. If she wasn’t, she would probably just use her powers to change that. The way Riley saw things, they had cost her her perfectly comfortable life so she was allowed to use them to cheat fate in other ways.

At the threat, Riley instantly raised her hands up in surrender, a grin on her face. “Your words bite enough, Audrey.” She knew the woman wouldn’t actually hurt her, but she did feel the slight lower in temperature around her.

The sight of Riley nearly made her sigh but even if she had, it would’ve been in a half-joking manner. But she just knew she was in for a time whenever Riley was around. The remark made her lick her teeth, Audrey’s green gaze flickering back over to the healer. “How is it that every time I see you, you seem less so?” She countered in return, raising an eyebrow before glancing forward again as if signifying that Riley’s presence was not going to suddenly give her Audrey’s full attention. Maybe it was just a teasing gesture.

The retort made Riley snicker, giving her a shrug in return. “I’ve seen how I look with white hair and wrinkles. It’s not pleasant so I do my best to make sure I don’t get there naturally,” she joked, leaning against the wall beside Audrey. Despite Audrey’s attempt to dismiss her, Riley was difficult to ignore and she took it as a personal challenge whenever Audrey tried. “I’d show you what you’d look like aged from stress but I couldn’t bear ruining your pretty face,” she added with a wink. Teasing Audrey was far too fun.

Day shifts. Night shifts. Audrey signed up for various sentry shifts, even more than she really needed to. She was a resistance guard and to her, that was important. She was a first defender if their base was ever attacked. As a result, she liked seeing first hand that they were safe and secure. Sometimes she was posted around the perimeter while other times, she was inside the headquarters. That day, it was the latter. Where she was standing, it was a little cold, though it didn’t bother her because it was her. Her body just naturally gave off a lower body temperature. She noticed a presence, saw a figure in her peripheral vision. They could’ve been just passing by, but either way, she glanced briefly over at them. “Evening,” she greeted.

Unlike many of the other roles at the HQ, Riley’s role was more needs based. As long as no one was injured, she wasn’t needed and was free to roam around and kill time however she wanted. She occasionally volunteered to help people with things but she was feeling lazy today and all work and no play made for a very boring life. When she spotted Audrey, she grinned, immediately approaching the woman. “How is it that every time I see you, you seem more serious?” she teased, skipping the greeting.
