Fifth Floor Common Room [Sunday morning]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

After so many requests for pancakes from her own children yesterday morning, Sookie figured that might be a theme for the weekend. And when she woke up, and Henry wasn't gone, at least, she'd run out to get a few supplies before returning to the common room to see what she could put together. (Though, of course, Henry had insisted on coming with her once he realized she was Going to the Store and he might Get Stuff.)

It clearly just wasn't her own children she was worried about, here, Drake/di Glacia/Stackhouse appetites aside. Sookie had bought enough things to make breakfast for pretty much any kids (and parents) who showed up. She was setting to work on the pancakes, but in other pans she was busily scrambling eggs and frying up some bacon. She'd also made a point to buy orange and apple juice and milk both chocolate and white, because there was no way in hell she was letting more of those kids just drink coffee. She didn't care if it was for a weekend, it was just irresponsible.

[open common room! come have breakfast!]

"Maybe someday!" Henry said with far too much hope. "But not yet. But I still got powers even if I'm not a penguin. I like your doggie," he added, because dogs were fun and attention spans were very short, when you were five.

"You have powers?" Color Ahura intrigued.

"I'm a telpath like Mama," he said, just going ahead and butchering that word. He gave the doggie -- who he kinda recognized, sorta, but it was hard being five because you had already lived so long and learned so much that sometimes you didn't remember everything -- a final pat and held out a hand. "And I can do this!" His hand started to glow gold, radiating a little heat, too."

He had other powers, too, but he wasn't supposed to show them off.

"Telepath," Ahura corrected kindly. Because that was what he was. When marvel didn't decide he had his father's powers.

DAMMN IT, MARVEL.

"Are you a mutant then?" Because obviously human.

Henry looked a little unsure for a moment. "Mama's a fairy," he said carefully. "She's not a mutant. But I'm part-mutant. Secret, though." He added that last in a whisper, because that was how secrets worked.

Ahura nodded in understanding. "I am the crown prince of the Inhuman race. Are fairies a type of alien?"

BECAUSE, REALLY? THAT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ANYONE.

"Noooo," Henry giggled. "They live in 'nother special world. Mama's a princess!"

"Aliens are from other worlds," Ahura pointed out. He knew because of all that space travel.

And Skrulls.

"Aliens come from space," Henry assured him, because he knew the difference between fairies and aliens, don't be silly.

Just wait for the next cross over event. First vampires, next fairies.

"They could Skrulls."

Skrulls: Freakin' everywhere.

"Like the bones in your head?" Henry asked, confused.

[aforbiddenchild.livejournal.com]

"...I do not believe so." Humans were very different than Inhumans.

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"That's what a skull is," Henry said, still more confused. "Like on a pirate flag!"

[aforbiddenchild.livejournal.com]

"A Skrull is an alien. It's different."

And green.

"They kidnap people sometimes."

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"My mama and daddy got kidnapped before!" Henry said excitedly. "But not me, yet."

...not something to aspire to, Henry.

"I was once replaced by one."
