Come As You Were Dance, Community Center, Saturday Evening

Originally, this was going to be a much smaller event, but then Fandom had to be Fandom and Portalocity had to be Portalocity, and now Zoe was wondering if there would be enough food for everyone or if she'd have to get things from the local restaurants.

For the moment though, everything was set up nicely. There were tables and chairs set up with blue and gold tablecloths, each covered with glitter from years of use. There were balloons, streamers, and other slightly tasteful decorations, also covered in glitter from years of being stored with things that were also covered in glitter. Don't worry, no one had died from a glitter overdose yet.

Once the food was set out and the (non-tainted) punch was ready, it seemed like things were as good to go as they'd ever be. If things got too crowded, hopefully a fire marshal wasn't among the folks who had come back to town.

Naturally.

"And to think, I forgot how easy it was to tie my brain into knots talking to you," Jaina said, appreciatively.

"I keep everyone on their toes. It's one of my things."

"If I ask how you've been it's going to be something confusing, isn't it?" Jaina checked.

"Only if you consider raising a kid confusing." A beat. "And you'd be correct. I'm planning to make someone else explain puberty to her."
solo_sword: (um)

"Please do not be the one to explain puberty to her, no," Jaina agreed emphatically.

"Normally I'd be all over conversations about blood," Wade replied. "But not in this case. No thanks. Maybe Skywalker... that'd be funny."

"Oh, yeah, do that," Jaina said immediately. "How old is she now? I think she's older than Juliet so that'd be his first time with that conversation."

Jaina was the meanest granddaughter.

"Nine," Wade replied, already digging through one of his pouches to get some pictures of a gangly little ginger girl.
solo_sword: (go on...)

"Oh, yeah, you can definitely scar him first," Jaina said. "When did she get that big?"

"Kids," Wade replied like that explained everything. "And a little time travel."

"Aha. I understand both those things," Jaina said. It really did kind of explain everything.

"Soon she'll have mutant powers, but Nate gets to handle that talk. I get to handle the boys talk. We have a deal."

The boys talk featured a knife and how to use it. Also birth control of a more traditional sense.

"Do you know what powers she gets?" Jaina asked. She was a little fuzzy on how that all worked, but knew they weren't all the same.

"Oh, that," Jaina said, like she knew what that was-

Actually, she came from a family full of Chosen Ones. She kinda did know.
