xp_logsSue stops by Angel's suite to give her a belated Christmas present.
Sue knocked on the door to Angel's suite, well not so much knocked as used her head wrapped in a forcefield to hit the door. Her hands were kinda full of boxes, wires and a laptop. The blonde tried valiantly to keep everything in her hands and off the floor, she didn't really wanna have to try puttin anything back together. "Angel?" she called plaintively hopefully the New Mutant's tutor was home and would open the door soon; otherwise there might not be such a happy ending in Sue' future.
The teen's prayers were answered when the door flew open a moment later, revealing the grinning redhead with a blonde ferret cradled in one arm. "Hey Sue!" She said happily, blinking when she saw how full Sue's arms were. "Uh...want some help?" She asked, moving Twinkie to her shoulder. "Oh no you don't!" She added with a yelp when she saw Slinky trying to escape. She stooped down and grabbed him quickly, placing him on the other shoulder.
"Oh god yes," Sue replied gratefully dumping the boxes and computers into Angel's outstretched arms and doubling over to catch her breath. "Next time remind me to borrow a wheelbarrow, or a palanquin and bearers Whichever is closer." the blonde told the older woman as she followed her into the suite. "Tada, Merry Christmas," she said with a grin and a flourish at the boxes. "Sorry it's a bit late, took me longer than I thought to pull it all together."
"Late is in the eye of the beholder," Angel said happily even as she stumbled a bit under the weight. "The way I see it, you're early for next Christmas." She carefully deposited everything onto the couch (making a mental note to clean up before Lorna returned), set Slinky then Twinkie down on the floor, and picked up one of the boxes, turning it over in her hands. "So what is it?" She asked eagerly as she opened the box.
"It's a shiny!" Sue said proudly as the oval of shiny metal was revealed in the box before she saw Angel's confused expression and decended into a fit of giggles. "I remember when the 2 devils here," she indicated Slinky and Twinkie with a grin, "went on a rampage and stole everything shiny that wasn't nailed down. So over the holidays I decided to make you something to help and voila." she gestured at the boxes.
"Shiny!" Angel repeatedly happily, carefully easing the shiny out of the box and turning it over and examining it. She liked shinies too. "You made this?" She asked curiously as she knelt down, holding it out to Slinky and Twinkie. They were immediately enthralled, poking at it with their noses and pawing it curiously.
"Yep," Sue replied happily, "Took me all Christmas, but it was worth it." As she spoke Sue discretely slipped her phone out of her pocket and pulled up an app. Still smiling she punched a button on the screen and a set of legs unfolded from oval pushing the robot up with a whir of motors.
Angel laughed as the little robot skittered off her hand and onto the carpeted floor, and the ferrets jerked before hurrying after the runaway shiny. "That is awesome," she declared, falling back on the floor, still laughing. "Oh my god, they love it! That's amazing, Sue, seriously."
If anything Sue's grin got a little brighter, she had been worried Angel wouldn't like it. "I made a few," the blonde said pulling them out of their boxes, "I figured that having more than one would be better for keeping those two occupied. They're pretty primitive right now, basically just shiny ferret distracting roombas. Sue handed the remaining robots to Angel before dropping down to the floor to join the redhead watching hte ferrets chase after their new playmate.
"They're ferrets, I don't think they're worried about it being too high-tech," Angel said, laughing as she watched the ferrets skitter around and added the new robots to the mix. "Shiny ferret distracting roombas. I like that. I'm calling them that. Wow, these things are sooooo cool. And they love them too! Slinky, Twinkie, say thank you to Sue." The ferrets in question just twitched as they continued chasing the shinies, not bothering to acknowledge their human's words. Angel sighed. "So rude."
"I don't know how you put up with them," Sue agreed with a grin, Although they do say that the parent is responsible for their children, so what do they say about you then?" she teased Angel before leaning back into her elbows. "They may not mind, but I can do better. Perhaps put in a central controlling unit to make them better at running away or add speakers to amuse them." The girl grinned at Angel, "As long as they're willing to act as guinea pigs I'm sure the devils can expect to be surrounded by shinies for a while yet."
"Hey, watch it you." The words probably would have been a bit more threatening if Angel hadn't still been grinning widely. "And don't let 'em hear you calling them guinea pigs, they might get confused." Not that they were paying attention. Twinkie had just successfully climbed on top of one of the robots, and was instantly confused when the shiny scrambled out from beneath him. Slinky, meanwhile, was scrabbling at another robot's legs, trying to hold it hostage. "Thanks, Sue, really. These are amazing."
"I'm glad you like them, ah, that you all like them," Sue amended with a smile. "They were fun to make, and gave me something to do while I was at home over Christmas." Sue laughed as she watched the ferrets trying to chase the robots around the room, "you know they're actually kinda cute, you know when they're not being all gollum like and stealing people's preciouses."
"Oh they're always cute," Angel corrected Sue seriously - well, semi-seriously. She was still smiling. "It's not their fault they're shiny bandits, they can't help it. Right Slinky? Twinkie?" She looked over at them as if she was actually expecting an answer.
"Not our fault." Sue replied in a falsetto out of the corner of her mouth, "We blame the flame-headed big mother." She grinned at Angel "Well we can't argue with that can we?"
"You're hilarious," Angel shot back, sticking her tongue out at the blonde. "Like, really, if the scientist thing doesn't work out, there's a future for you in comedy."
Sue grinned innocently at Angel, "You really think so flame-headed big mother?" she asked sticking her tongue out at Angel in return. "That's got to be the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. And evil scientist please, these are just prototypes." the girl indicated the robots which were being chased under the bed. "Now imagine them blown up to about 100 feet and bristling with weaponry."
"I don't think I should I be encouraging you to be an evil scientist. You know, responsible mentor-type and all." The grin still pulling at Angel's lips contradicted every part of that sentence. "You're frightening, though, you know that? Also, flame-headed big mother - not a nickname that's catching on. Drop the 'big' part and we'll talk."
"But as my mentor shouldn't you be pushing me towards a career with plentiful opportunities and good money? If you're reccomendation is a stand up comic then isn't your judgement just a little circumspect?" Sue teased. ""Right got it, no calling you flame-headed big mother oh mighty one with hair the colour of that which warms who is a mother much larger than her two furry, and cute, children."
"At least stand up comics don't try to take over the world," Angel shot back. "It'll be pretty awkward if I encourage you to be an evil scientist and ten years down the road the the X-Men are getting called in to knock your pretty blonde self down a few pegs. Nice play on words, by the way."
"But why would you want to stop me?" Sue asked with a grin, "The world's too big for any one person to rule, it'd have to be divided up. So which country do you want?" she asked brightly.
"Oooooooh no you don't!" Angel laughed. "You are not corrupting me, don't even think about it. I don't care how many pretty shinies you build. Doesn't matter how pretty they are. Or shiny."
Sue laughed along with Angel, "But they're so pretty! and Shiny! Come to the dark side, you know you want to; we have cookies and candy."
"Ah, but we have the person that makes the cookies and other yummies. We call her Lorna." Angel winked at Sue, grinning. "But you do make a good argument for the pretties and shinies."
"Shinies are shiny," Sue agreed with a grin, "On the other hand, cake is cake which is better. Oh god, I think you've corrupted me." She told angel in a mock shocked voice. "I guess I'll stay on the side of good and justice...for now anyway." The blonde laughed before a thought struck her, "Do oyu think Lorna has any cookies or cakes lying around right now?"
"Then my job for the day is done." Angel's grin turned mischievous as she looked around. "Well there's only one way to find out, isn't there?" She paused for dramatic effect. "Kitchen raid!"
"Why Miss Jones, I like the way you think," her own smile echoing Angel's, "besides if we get caught by your roomate, you did mention something about being the responsible adult type person and taking all the blame right?"
"If by some chance Lorna is mad, I will happily take the blame for this," Angel assured Sue. "Now, enough talk, Ms. Storm. Time to move out!"
Sue knocked on the door to Angel's suite, well not so much knocked as used her head wrapped in a forcefield to hit the door. Her hands were kinda full of boxes, wires and a laptop.
