Confusion and Distraction

Marie didn't like this place. It reminded her too much of her home with no one that she knew. She didn't feel like going up to bed, she'd always been more of a night owl so she would sit down in the living room.

Marie found a book and began reading. She curled up under a blanket in the corner of the couch. It was one of her favorites, Arabian Nights.

Robin sighend under his breath, aimlessly strolling around the place he still was hoping would dissapeard ocne he woke up from this nightmare... which he new wasn't a dream, all the terrible things were happening for real. Didn'tstop him from wishing it was all in his head though. He's always been scolded about having a to wild fantasy and getting lost in his own head.
He sighend again, feeling the familiar itch crawling back to his fingers. Gosh he missed his guitar... he never went without having playing it at least once a day! At leats he still ahd his harmonica...
Strolling sinde the livingroom, he took notice of the girl curled up in the blanket on the couch. Not really having anything to do, he smiled warmly at her before awkwardly taking a seat on the opposite side of the couch.
"Wazzup?"

Marie looked up when she heard someone speak. He was cute that was for sure. "Um Hi?" She said slightly confused.

True she was a pretty woman but because of her uncles, father, aunt and mother most boys stayed away from her. Especially if they meet her grandfather Magneto.

Robin just acted like he normally did, open and friendly. "Sorry, didn't mean to bother or disturb you... Just thought it be nice to have soem company sicne well... all this crazy happend," he chuckled, rubbing his neck a little awkwardly. "I'm Robin by the way. Nice to meet you."

Marie blushed lightly realizing she wasn't being friendly. "Um Sorry. I'm Marie. I'm not used to people coming up to talk to me. It's nice to meet you Robin." She smiled sweetly. "And your right." She looked down at the book in her lap. "It is nice having company with everything happening."

"Yeah... Call me slow or stupid... But i'm still hoping this all is just a bad dream i'm having again," he chuckled quietly. "I mean...I didn't even know people having superpowers were this... normal..."

Marie grinned. "Well I'd never call you slow. I think Denial is more apt." she said sweetly. "As for the superpower thing in my world it's getting more common. Some people have this thing called the X-gene. It give people powers. Most of the people in my family have the x-gene. We're called mutants." She explained smiling.

He raised an eyebrow at this, but was still smiling. "Seriously?" he chuckled, still so unsure of what to think of all this. "Sooo... you're a 'mutant' then?" he as asked slowly, as if afraid of beign rude by asking. "Wonder if that makes me one as well...?"

Marie smiled at his worry of being rude. "Mutant isn't a slur don't worry about that. If you say something wrong I'll tell you and then you'll know. And yes I'm a mutant." she told him with a sweet smile. "And no you're not a mutant unless you have the x-gene, which is all genetics."

"Oh, I see," he smiled, relived that he wasn't making ass out of himself. His eyes wanderd around the room and wetn silent for a short momnet, deep in thought. "Wonder what that makes me then," he mumbled.
The thing is he had a hunch of what he could be, but was simply to afraid to admit it or investigate on the matter any further.

Marie looked at Robin curiously when he mumbled something about wondering what he was. "Well I'm sure you can figure out what you are." she said sweetly. "Maybe I can help? What were your parents?" she asked curiously.

He gave her a somewhat unsure look, but was still smiling slightly. "They're both human," he said cheerfully. "But then again I'm adopted, so I have no idea what my real parents are, ha," he said, feeling a little lame.
He did have a feelign what one of them could be though, but he refused to aknoledge that, simply out of fear of what he might find out. "It... doens't really matter though..." he mumbled. "My life is as good as it can get. Well, aside from all this though."

Marie's smile widened as Robin spoke. "I know what you mean about life being good beyond this." She nodded indicating the building they were in. "I lived with my parents, little sister, my Aunt and my two Uncles. It could get kind of crazy but.." She trailed off wistfully. "But it could be a lot of fun too. They were all kind of cray but in a good way, you know?" She looked sadly at the table. Marie had hated being alone. Ever since she was kidnapped by the F.O.H. when she was 10.

Marie looked up surprised. She hadn't meant it that way. "No I didn't mean it that way. It's just... when I was little I," She hesitated finding the right words. "Something happened and after I sort of had this fear of being alone or without them kind of makes me nervous." She tried to explain.
