Fifth Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

There were smells and sounds coming from the fifth floor common room that would probably tempt most passers-by.
The sizzle and crackle of bacon and eggs, the bready smell of toasted English muffins, and... okay, it'd be really hard to smell or hear the orange juice just passing by.

Jennifer Walters was feeling good that morning. And she just wanted to share that feeling with others. Making breakfast seemed like a good way to do that.

And if the sounds of breakfast didn't bring people in, the fact she was playing Lady Gaga over a radio might help, she thought.

Sometimes having instincts worked out. "Apparently there's plenty of people around here who do."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jennifer said. "Right now I'm more power and no precision. It can work, but I'm pretty easily beaten by people who know what they're doing."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Makes sense," he nodded. "I've never had any sort of training myself."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Would you need any?" Jennifer said. "I mean, you're not planning on being a boxer or anything, are you?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Nah," he shook his head. "If you believe the reserves, it just seems handy."

"Well, around here, there's a benefit to it," Jennifer said. "Never know what the island will throw at you next. So, knowing how to defend yourself is good."

"Knowing kung fu or karate would be kind of awesome," he mused. "But then I'd have to stop being lazy."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"You're joking, right?" Jennifer said. "You can't be that lazy."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He glanced up at her. "Why not?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"You're built like an underwear model," Jennifer said, forgetting modesty for a moment.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He really, really sucked at being stealth. He'd never really had to do it, all of his friend were freaks like him so it didn't matter much.

He stared at... he hadn't asked her name, had he? "I work out some," he mumbled. Sort of. "I just enjoy my goofing off time."

Underwear model?

"That makes more sense," Jennifer said. "You can't pull a fast one on me."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Apparently not," he agreed and quickly ate the rest of his muffin. "We can't all rely on gamma radiation."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I definitely get a little weight-loss cheat," Jennifer said. "And it's not like everyone hit by gamma radiation is lucky like this. It's dangerous stuff."

"How long have you been like this?" Jacob asked curiously.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Well, I've been able to change since July," Jennifer said. "I've only just had the ability to choose my form since November."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"That's not too bad if you can control it this fast," he said, ignoring the whole disease thing.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"If it was through my own will and concentration, I'd be willing to agree," Jennifer said. "As it is, it was more sort of mixed luck."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Hey, it's the results that matter," he said easily.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"True," Jennifer said. "No pain, no gain and all that."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Something like it, yeah," he nodded. "And this breakfast is good." He should at least be grateful.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Jennifer said. "Now you have to pay the price." She smiled at him, not intending anything ill mannered. Just going to finally get his name.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jacob raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to make me do the dishes?"

Though really, that would be a fair price.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, I should," Jennifer said. "But actually, I just want your name."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Damn, I just gave you an idea," he chuckled. "I'm Jacob Black. We probably should have done that sooner, huh?"
