Hello there and welcome to the second chapter of 'What Happens at the Prime House', this chapter in theory should be a little spicy but unfortunately it is just north of Lukewarm. At least, it's not spicy on THIS website.
Back when the first major Rewrite of this story was post went through a major crackdown involving Mature and Explicit content, with a much stronger focus on same sex and queer sexuality than on straight/opposite sex sexuality. This is why when I started working on this major edit of the story I also chose to start tandem posting on Archive of Our Own.
The Monster Series (and The Prodigal Son spin off series, about Darius and the Agents of P.R.I.M.E.) is uploaded on AO3 with all sexual material intact. If you would like to read these stories as I originally wrote them, go find me 'Lonelybelovid' on AO3 and check them out there!

Bryce, Ruby, Lorna, Pietro, Wanda, and Colton were seated around the coffee table in the living room of the Prime house. They were engaged in a game of Texas Hold 'em, Colton was currently wiping the floor with them all, Pietro and Lorna being the only ones who were holding their own against him.
"We stand zero chance at this when half of the table is counting cards!" Bryce told his girlfriend with a laugh.
Pietro looked over at him with one eyebrow raised for a moment.
"I can't count cards…" The other boy told him making Ruby and Colton both roll their eyes.
"Sure…" Ruby replied, seeing Lorna and Wanda look over at her.
"No really, he can't!" Wanda told the girl, who raised her own eyebrow, before looking to the oldest sibling for confirmation.
"I tried to teach him for years, but he couldn't ever figure it out!" Lorna told the group, Pietro giving her a look.
"It's too complicated, okay!" He told his oldest sister with a sigh, "Besides I can do tons of stuff you can't!" He added with a smirk, which faltered after a look to the older girl.
"You can outrun a bullet and play ping pong with yourself…" The green haired girl commented, "Quite the skill set there, little brother!" She added with a chuckle before she stood.
"Where are you going?" Wanda asked her after the older began to leave the room.
"Kitchen… anyone need some tea or another drink?" Lorna clarified, inquiring with the group.
At first the group at large declined her, but after a moment Bryce folded from the next hand. He stood and stretched his arms over his head before walking to the door.
"I'm gonna go grab some coffee…" He stated, stopping when he heard Ruby speak, "What?" He asked her to repeat herself.
"Decaf!" She stated laughing when he rolled his eyes.
"You're not my real mom!" He told her sticking out his tongue, making her laugh.
Making his way down the first-floor hall, into the kitchen. He had brought his instant decaf with him, even though he enjoyed giving the girl a hard time, he was doing his best to mind the caffeine's effect on his heart. When he spotted the older girl who had entered the room before him, he noticed her stirring her teaspoon with her mutation.
"How old were you the first time you… you know!" He began to ask as he used his mutation to open the coffee tin, pour the crystals into the tin mug, and then with his hands, add the water from the electric kettle.
"I was eight… the twins were five!" She stated smiling softly, peering over at the boy, "It was before Pietro figured out what he could do… He ran out in front of a car and before my father could even move to act, I just held up my hand…" She told him, thinking back to that day.
"Yikes… Bet Magneto was proud!" He commented, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Sort of… He was too busy chewing Pietro out at first, but after he told me that we were so lucky to have someone like me…" She replied nodding a little, "Despite his short comings… he wasn't the worst father to have been born to!" She added, Bryce nodded softly.
"Better than my folks!" Bryce added, shrugging his shoulders.
"Ruby said you don't really remember them?" Lorna questioned with an eyebrow raised.
"Imagine a smudge where a face is supposed to be… that's how I remember them…" He clarified, the girl nodding. "I remember the first time I used my gifts though…" He added seeing the girl look over again.
Bryce thought back to that day for the first time in a long time. He was nine years old, sitting in the grass in a field near his family's summer home. There had been an ice cream truck go by and his nanny, Mindy, had given him some change to get a snow cone. He had gone with cherry, his favorite flavor and had a few pennies left over. Mindy had let him keep them and went back to reading her book as he was playing, keeping to him self in the field.
"I had a hand full of change… pennies!" He told the girl who nodded, "I was sitting in the grass, and I dropped a couple of them, I went to move my hand to grab them… but a few of them started to rattle and lift off the ground!" He continued, making the motion with his hand.
"I clenched my fist, opened and closed, a few times and after the fourth or fifth, they flew up into my hand!" He finished after a second looking up at the girl.
"Simple, but probably not as startling as it is for some people!" Lorna told him with a soft smile.
He nodded over before he took his cup and they both headed back to the living room.

The whole Prime team had been gone for about twenty minutes, they were training with a few of the Avengers and would be gone for several hours. That left Ruby and Bryce alone in the house, exactly how Ruby was hoping. She hadn't actually brought this up to Bryce, but it seemed as though he would agree to spend the evening how she hoped.
She had told Paige that she planned to try and make a move with Bryce tonight and she had given full permission for them to hang out in her room if they needed privacy.
"Just change my sheets if things get… exciting!" She had told the younger girl, making her laugh in response before she agreed.
The two teens were currently spread out on the bed, stripped down to their underwear, Ruby straddling the boys' hips, as they were tied in a heated kiss. Ruby looked surprised when she felt Bryce start to separate from her, ending their kiss.
"Um… not sure how far you want this to go but… I did come prepared…" He began, a small splash of pink on his heated cheeks, "Just in case!" He added, reaching over where his pants had landed beside him.
He pulled a condom from his pocket and tossed it onto the bed beside them.
"I did too…" She told him with a small smirk before planting a wet kiss on his lips, "I got on the pill a few weeks ago!" She added seeing his eyebrows raise.
He nodded a little bit before he began to trail kisses from her chin down her neck, stopping briefly when she spoke again.
"You WILL still wear that condom though!" She clarified, to which he nodded profusely.
"With our contraceptive powers combined… you will not have a baby put in you today!" He announced making her laugh, the feeling of butterflies in her stomach.
