------------------------------------------------------

"How much butter do you want?" you called from the kitchen to Peter as you grabbed the freshly popped popcorn out of the microwave.

"Just dump the whole stick!" your fiancé called back. You laughed & stuck a whole stick of butter into a microwaveable measuring cup & set the timer for one minute.

You had been dating Peter for quite some time now. You both lived together in the same neighborhood & although you didn't attend the same high school, you two realized your feelings for each other during high school & began dating your Sophomore year. You continued dating throughout high school & were still dating well into your third year of college. You had moved in together right after high school, although you both still regularly visited your familes & they often paid visits to your guys' apartment. Peter had recently proposed & you eagerly accepted, although you both decided to wait until next year when you finally got your degree to officially get married.

Tonight was movie night. You & Peter had a movie night every week at home in order to spend some quality time together as well as get your mind off school temporarily. It was both yours & Peter's favorite day of the week & you took it very seriously.

You drenched the popcorn in the freshly melted butter, waiting for it to cool for a bit before you took it into the living room. You plopped onto the couch next to Peter & held the bowl of popcorn in your lap. Peter stuck his hand into the bowl, scooping out a giant handful of popcorn & tossing it into his mouth. You laughed & he grinned at you goofily. He wrapped an arm around you & you snuggled into him. He kissed the top of your head, rubbing your hip with his hand.

Just as the two of you were getting comfy & slowly getting into the movie, Peter's phone rang loudly. He groaned & reluctantly let you go as he got up. He sped into the bedroom you shared & came back with his cellphone in hand, answering it, "Yeah, Ma?" you smiled as you watched him talk to his mother. His eyes widened a bit as he spoke, "Okay, okay hold on Ma let me put you on speaker," you scoot closer to the edge of the couch where Peter was & he set the phone down between you two as Magda spoke, "It's happening. Lorna, she's...her powers...I need your help. Please, come quick, both of you."

You both looked at each other worriedly before you replied, "We'll be right there, Magda," Peter hung up & you immediately went to put your shoes on. Neither of you bothered to dress out of your pajamas, considering the urgency of the situation.

Along with Peter, you were also a mutant. You had telekinesis & you figured that was why Magda asked for you both to come over. She knew you would be a great help, probably moreso than Peter, since you could move anything & anyone simply with the power of your mind. You could help keep her powers in check if they got out of hand & prevent her from hurting herself or others.

Within seconds, Peter raced you both to his old home, barging in & setting you down in Lorna's room. Magda was also there, holding Lorna close to her. Lorna was shaking & crying. She was only eight years old, a fairly young age to begin developing her powers. Most mutants began developing their powers in their early teens, but early bloomers like Lorna were possible, although rare, & they almost always had the hardest time adjusting.

Peter immediately sat down next to his mother & sister, "You okay, Lorns?" she nodded, sniffling as she rubbed ber eyes.

You crouched down in front of the three of them, smiling up at Lorna, "Can you tell us what happened?"

She nodded & carefully crawled out of Magda's lap. She got on the floor beside you, "C-can you bring me my stuffed monkey?" you smiled & used your telekinesis to bring the toy towards her. Before you could drop it in her lap, a reddish-pink ray suddenly shot out from her body, disintegrating the stuffed toy in midair. The three of you gaped at the little girl in surprise.

A wide grin spread across your face, "Oh, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun training you."

She smiled softly, "R-really?"

You nodded, "Really! We're going to have all kinds of objects floating around us while you try to disengrate them & move them."

She giggled & clapped her hands excitedly, "Can we start now?"

You laughed, "We can do a little tonight, but the big stuff starts tomorrow," you noticed that her hands were glowing a bright magenta, soft pink halos encompassing her palms, "Can you try & stop that?" you said, eyeing her palms. Lorna looked down at her palms & furrowed her eyebrows as she concentrated on trying to make her hands stop glowing. After some time, she sighed, realizing it was no use. You thought for a moment before you got an idea. You looked around & found her favorite pair of Cinderella gloves that she wore during the tea parties she had with you & Peter. You brought them over to her & dropped them in her lap, "Try those," Lorna cautiously slipped them on & smiled when her hands were no longer glowing.

"It worked!" all three of you sighed with major relief.

Peter was suddenly crouched beside you & Lorna, "Alright kiddo, it's time for bed," Lorna frowned as her older brother picked her up & tucked her into bed, kissing her forehead before the three of you left her room, shutting the door behind you.

You & Peter followed Magda into the living room, where she paced a bit around the couch & sighed, "I'm so worried about her. Peter was a mess when he got his powers, but Lorna's are so much more powerful; she's going to be a real handful."

Peter pouted, "Ma! Don't embarrass me in front of my soon-to-be wife!"

Magda glared at her son, "Peter, this is serious. I can't do this without you both."

You smiled reassuringly, "And we'll be here for you & Lorna; don't worry," you gently grabbed her hand, "We'll help her together."

She smiled at you, patting your hand softly, "Thank you. Now both of you, get some rest. Tomorrow's going to be a long, hectic day," she released your hand & went to get a glass of water before bed.

Peter grinned at you & sped you down into the basement, where his old room used to be, "Just like old times, huh Wifey?"

You looked around the now bare room, nothing leftover but his bed, "Yeah," you smiled at him, "Just like old times," he pressed a kiss to your lips & suddenly, you were both in his bed. Despite Magda's warning, neither of you got that much sleep that night.
