Blake was lying on Pietro's bed with her head on his chest. They had been talking about drama at the institute and what was going to come of it all.
Well, Blake was talking about school, Pietro was just lying there listening. He was getting very bored, and he felt himself starting to nod off.
"Wow... I didn't think this would put you to sleep..." She told him, sitting up and smirking at him, he chuckled back before sitting up and stretching.
"You're fine, it's just been a really long day!" He told her, speaking quickly like usual.
"For someone who speeds through life, a slow day has gotta be hell!" She told him with a laugh.
However, she was cut short by the sound of feet rushing up the stairs. Moments later, Lance flung the door open and glanced back down the stairs.
"What do you want?" She asked him with a sigh.
"Mystique is back!" He told them looking back down the stairs for a second, "She's coming up here!" he added making the girl jump up and rush over to the window.
"You can't just jump out, you'll really hurt yourself!" Pietro told her grabbing her arm as she flung the window open.
She turned around kissing him softly then pulling away when she saw Lance roll his eyes.
"I'll be fine babe, remember!" She told him quickly, "Love you... bye!" She whispered turning sharply to wave goodbye at Lance.
Seconds later she was jumping out the window just as Mystique made it to the top stair.

Trinity and Max were sitting in the Shape shifters room on her bed. The boy had insisted his best friend should paint his nails. She had painted two layers of black on all but his middle fingers and did a bright turquoise there to accent.
"So how are we gonna get Jamie back?" He asked her quietly, looking at the door to see that it was shut firmly.
"We have a test in geometry on Friday and I know where Beast keeps the answers!" She said calmly looking down at her left hand.
She began to strip the paint from the manicure she had received while Clara was making out with her boyfriend. Max stared at her with wide eyes when he realized what she had meant.
"So… Clara and Jamie stole the answer key?" He asked her in a tone that plainly understood what she had said.
She nodded, looking up at him and handed him the black glitter polish from the pile of bottles on the bed.
"Can you help me with my right hand?" She asked him, changing the subject quickly.
He nodded and started to uncap the bottle.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door making them both jump and stare wide eyed at the wooden portal.

Bobby and Jamie were sitting in the hospital after One-on-One sparring. Trinity had bit Bobby after he had sided with Jamie in an argument with Max and she had broken the skin. Now Bobby was sitting on the cot next to the boy in the coma.
"So, tell me again... What did you do to Trinity to make her go psycho?" He asked his multiplier friend.
"I didn't actually do anything, Clara kissed me!" Jamie told him sighing and blushing thinking about the kiss.
He had always thought that Clara was cute, but he had never been attracted to her the way he was to Trinity.
"So, I have more competition for your love?" Bobby asked him, making Jamie lay his hand on the others shoulder.
"The way I feel about them doesn't hold a candle to my love for you!" Jamie answered back sarcastically making Bobby laugh.
After a moment though, Jamie noticed his friend's pants had grown noticeably tighter.
"Dude that was a joke!" Jamie told him pulling his hand away quickly.
"I know… What?" Bobby started to question before noticing his own issue, "Oh shit!" He cried before grabbing the pillow off the cot and quickly covering himself.
"It's just hormones or something, give me a break…" Bobby told the other who snorted in laughter, "That's rich… coming from the guy who got a Boner looking at a turkey sandwich once!" He added making the other roll his eyes.
"I hadn't eaten in like two days, ok!" Jamie told him back with a laugh.
After a moment he handed Bobby a notebook binder to cover himself as they made their way upstairs as quickly as possible.

When Blake arrived back at the institute, she made her way to her room. Opening her bedroom door, she was greeted by the sight of Trinity, Max, and Phoebe looking at a box that was lying on her bed.
She eyed it suspiciously then looked at the group. Phoebe looked over at her and spoke breaking her hypnotized gaze on the box.
"Who's that from?" She asked quietly looking back at the box.
Blake shrugged her shoulders and sat down on her bed. Inside was a white rose and a small card with a message written on it. It read:
Blake-
I was in town, and I was wondering if you would like to meet up with me for dinner. See you tomorrow at 7.
-T.S.
She laughed and rolled her eyes when she read the signature at the bottom.
"You have got to be joking!" She said laying the note down on her nightstand.
"Who is it from?" Trinity asked looking over at the note, then to her roommate.
"Tony..." She started in reply making Max go wide eyed, "He wants to have dinner tomorrow!" She told them with a chuckle.
"Tony who?" Trinity asked looking rather confused.
Blake sighed and quickly recounted her winter break tale to the girls who had not been present when she had originally told Max.
"Iron Man wants to take you on a date?" Phoebe asked while the other two girls looked at her shocked.
"He wants to meet me for dinner as a friend… plus he's like a forty-year-old man…" Blake began as she rolled her eyes, "Not a date!" She finished as she sat down, trying to think of what to tell Tony... or what to tell Pietro for that matter.
