X-men AU I guess. Thank tumblr for this one

"Steve."
He was sitting in his room, an old magazine in his hands.
Standing there was Nancy.
They'd had a fling. Well, that's what Nancy called it. He'd thought it was a relationship.
Nancy had the ability of walking through walls and other objects. She was damn good at it too.

"What's up?" He glanced at her. That was a mistake.
She was as gorgeous as ever. Her hair curled nicely and a new sweater over her shoulders.
He was smitten all over again.

"It's your turn for a mission."
Steve groaned. Nancy just smiled, leaning against door.
"On the plus side, Dustin gets to go with you..."

Steve perked up. He lifted up from his bed, moving around the room.
"Henderson? That means this is his first mission." He grinned, moving his way to his closet.
He could feel Nancy smirk.
"I figured you'd enjoy it way more than me."

Steve slipped on his gloves and followed Nancy out the door.
.......
They'd made their way to the common room. Dustin was zooming around the room as usual. Talking far to quickly than was usually possible.
The rest of their party was on the couches.
El was lazily moving a pillow around, Mike was fiddling with his glasses, which he shouldn't be. That would be dangerous. Lucas who was sitting down and eating his lunch. Like a well practiced mutant who didn't have to flaunt his powers. He was able to control explosions. Charging energy into balls to throw. Basically his own personal fireworks.
Next to him was Robin. She had the ability to create high powered sonic waves with just her voice. She was Steve's favorite.
That left Will. The quiet one. The cold one.
He was off freezing and unfreezing his glass of water (and mikes soda).
His brother Jonathan, Nancy's new boyfriend, was near them, scrolling through his camera.
Being able to turn invisible had it perks. He could sneak in anywhere unnoticed.

When Nancy and Steve entered their room, Dustin zoomed up to them, bouncing. His usual energy on a day to day basis. They were used to it now.
"Steve come on!" He dragged him. Pulling a bit to hard. Steve's glove flinging off in the process.
"Hey dude! Henderson! Watch the glove." He stopped him with his good hand. Aka, his gloved hand and yanked his glove back.
"Come on, trouble. Let's go."
......
They didn't have to travel too far.
Just over 2 hours drive by jet.
Dustin couldn't keep still in his seat.
Asking Steve questions like, " So do we use our hero names or do we just come in like 'hi I'm Dustin and this is Steve.' Or is that to casual."
Steve smiled an answered.
"Well that depends. What do you want to do?"
Dustin was basically vibrating by now.

"Duh! Superhero names! Ok I was thinking, lightning strike. Or, or , or the speed. Or the streak. Or-"
Steve chuckled, ruffling Dustins hair.
"You've got to choose something cooler than that."
Dustin just elbowed him away, saying something about his well quaffed curls.
"Well, how did you choose your name? Cause I like your's."
Steve smiled. Turning his attention back to clouds below them.
"Someone just called me it one day and I thought 'Hell yeah, that's bad-ass."

Dustin shot him a look. An unbelieving look.
"Really... someone just called you 'Rouge' one day and you stuck with it?"
His mouth was open. Eyes lidded. Arms crossed. And for once, he was holding still.

Steve grinned. Bad memories flashing past him of a freckled boy, toad like in every way. And his girlfriend who was nearly indestructible. Like a diamond.
"I wasn't always the guy you know now..."

Dustin snorted. Head falling back.
"Yeah you were a grade A ass-hole."
Steve snorted back. Caught off guard.
"Thanks dingus." He'd caught that word from Robin. They need to spend less time together.
"It's good to hear you care."
The boys arms lifted defensively, but he still smiled nonetheless.
.....
They were finally there.
And on a beach no less.
Somewhere in California.
Dustin mentioned San Francisco.
