Words and thoughts

[ceitfianna]

I'm still worn out but my mood has improved since my last entry. Filling Friday fics really does that for me and just filling prompts in general. Also I had a wonderful conversation with my friend that I've known since we were toddlers and talking to her always makes me feel better. I adore writing for you guys since you inspire and push me in directions I don't expect. Slowly, I'm still filling prompts from last week's DE and would love more. The request is mainly because filling the Twitter prompts improved my day so much and I want to keep writing.

Leave me characters plus setting, lyric, poem, whatever you'd like and I'll write you something.

Now for what I've written on Twitter tonight.

For @minkhollow42 Moist pulls off a complicated scheme

He was afraid to move or do anything too quickly. If he seemed too eager, the bank would suspect but no, here came his money.

For @stephmuji Charles/Iris-their first fight

You're not a warrior, Charles," She said as she watched him leave. "I have to be one for mutantkind." "Stop being a foolish man!"

For @chanter1944 Sariel and Demeter, dancing in the rain

The rain shimmered on Carnivale as Sariel danced with Demeter. Around them, it smelled of life, liquor and the joy of abandon.

For @thisisyourfault

Dem, make it grow

Kore sighed at the seed, "It doesn't like me." "It knows you. Just show it." The seed waited as Kore showed it how to live.

Charles, the thrill of discovery

"I can still hear you," He laughed on the far edge of the manor park as a bird glared at him. Inside Raven grinned, "Dork."

For @wanderlustlover

Charles & Jean - the day he knew the truths behind all her silence

He held her hand, feeling the power and loss of her, "Jean, did I hope too much." She kissed his forehead and said, "Never"

Will & Marian - The price we willingly pay

Another scar, more blood for the soil, but it meant a child wouldn't starve this eve. Dreams put away for the sake of home.

Jane - To choose

It had never been as simple as yes or no. All her yeses to him wouldn't shift the shape of the world. So she chose words.

For @afullmargin How about the character of your choice: Making a bad day better? This turned into Charles and Raven.

He and Raven had argued all day until he said, "Enough, we're going dancing." She laughed in disbelief before smiling with him.

I've got two ideas.

Moist/Griffin O'Conner on a con: Feed and water it!

Charles/Coulson: Face to face...finally.

And I'm for bed.

As arranged

Coulson drove up the long drive and was conscious of how English the property looked, he hadn't expected that. The pictures and brochure he'd found had given some idea of what Xavier's property looked like but they didn't hold the feel, though he did note that there were signs that it was well protected.

Nothing obvious but to his eye, the cameras and boundary lines were clear to see, some of them looked as if they might be Stark products. He would have to follow up that connection, there had been a paper that Banner and McCoy had worked on together and Stark had consulted on it and he was fairly certain that camera design hadn't been released to the public yet.

When he pulled up, he almost expected a butler to appear but he didn't see anyone until he knocked. Then a striking red-headed woman, Jean Grey, Xavier's second met him with a smile and he heard the quiet thrum of children, "Good day, Agent, you're a little early and have caught us in the between class shuffle. I'll take you to the professor, he's just finishing with some students."

"That should work quite well," He nodded and followed her into the mansion, which seemed to hide its secrets quite well.

They arrived at an open door and he heard Xavier's voice speaking, "Now, before we end who can tell me what you've learned today?"

A little girl with an Irish lilt to her voice and a power in it said, "We're never just one person. We're who we think we are and who other people think we are and we have to keep talking so they all are kind of the same." "Yes, exactly, Terry. We must always be thinking of how we seem and we present ourselves to the world. This isn't easy and is something that adults are always doing as well. Now off to your next class."

There was a chorus of thank you, professor before the children swirled around Coulson and Jean, Jean smiled and nodded to Xavier before closing the door.

Xavier looked at him and smiled, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Agent. It appears that you will be a familiar face here."

"I don't know how true that will be, Professor Xavier. I'm simply a liaison, here to understand how SHIELD and mutants connect to each other," He moved to sit in a chair that Xavier gestured to, that put them on the same level as Xavier seemed to see right through him. Coulson knew that his mental shields were some of the finest but Xavier had a piercing gaze.

Xavier poured himself a glass of water and offered one to Coulson who took it before he finally spoke, "I hope to not have to work with SHIELD. My aim remains what it has always been, to create a place for mutantkind to be safe. Henry is better at politics, there he can bring about change. Your true concern of course is with Erik and the mutants who work with him. Your files will probably tell you much you need to know, but I do have one piece of advice for you. Treat him with respect and don't lie. If you need to deal with him, be forthright and honest."

Coulson frowned because while that's helpful, he knows that Xavier knows more, "I see and will you tell me anymore about him and those who work with him?"

"I think that will depend on what you do with what you have, Agent."

As he drove back to base, Coulson wondered about what Fury was hoping to get from Xavier, because Xavier was a man who would politely turn an order.

Very nice! I love the cal backs to all the X-Men movies, Charles still caring about Erik and his careful/casual way of handling Coulson. = ]

I'm glad you like it as it really came together in my mind.
