“How many shots would it take for you to sleep with ___ ?” James X for Laura

James quirked a brow.

"Joke's on you, man. I only got eyes for my wife." Then he paused. "Maybe when I was younger. Used to be into the whole reckless shtick. Laura's definitely attractive, but I've grown up a lot. She's not my type, anymore."

James smiled a little as she entered, closing the door behind her. "Hey, E-Emily," he said, a little teasing, a little more gently. "I'm James. James Xavier." He turned from her then, hand still glued to the side of his head, yellow eyes tearing from those pretty grey ones to sweep the foyer. Where the hell was his family?

"I heard that." James looked up, slight embarrassment suddenly staining his face. At the top of the stairs stood a woman with deep blue skin, covered in scales. Her hair was a bright cherry-red and she was dressed in a blouse and slacks. Her eyes were as yellow as James' own.

"Sorry mom," James said--a touch sheepish, but second-note to the urgency in his voice. "Look," he said, gesturing to Emily.

"I see her," his mother said. "Jean and Hank are on their way with towels." When she reached the bottom, she smiled warmly at the young girl. "Hi there," she said. "I'm Raven. We're going get you warmed up, okay?"

Emily’s teeth chattered wildly. The rain has soaked through her clothes to her skin. She had thought perhaps that she wouldn’t need a rain coat but she had been an idiot.

Prepare for the worst, expect the best.

Emily can only blink owlishly at the teenager at the door. God, he looked no older than her! His eyes were like liquid gold, a colour she’d never seen before but it captivated her and made more words temporarily disappear. He pressed his fingers to his head and in that brief moment she was paralysed in fear. Had she gotten the wrong place?

Run! Run!

Mutants were not liked. Better to make her excuses and beat a hasty retreat. Her twin hearts were hammering a frantic beat in her chest. She chanced a look back up the long driveway and thought maybe if she made it to the trees she could try blinking again.

Then he spoke and the relief that flooded through her was almost enough to warm her back up again.

“Th-Thank you.”

Emily shuffled awkwardly past him and inside, careful to try and avoid brushing him and soaking him too. She was well aware that she would probably leave several puddles in her wake but that was beyond helping at this point. As long as she was in the right place and not outside in the cold, she was happy.

“‘M E-Emily.” She introduced herself, holding a hand out then retracting it again “C-Clearwater.”

"I really don't wanna do this," the newly-turned twenty-year old James groaned. He gave his mother a pitying look. "I'm an adult now, I should have a say in this."

His mother, Raven, offered a sympathetic smile back, but her eyes didn't waver in their determination. "I know," she said, patting her son's shoulder. "But we need their protection. Logan's always been good to us; uniting our families will keep us safe."

"But we're mutants too," James protested. "We should be able to do that, ourselves."

This time, Raven didn't answer, but something shifted behind her yellow gaze. Damn, James thought. He knew he'd struck a chord there. They were mutants, it was true, but this little family--some by blood, others in bond--had one bad blow after another over the years. Their once promising strength by number had dwindled to only a few. If we collapse, there'll be nowhere else safe to go.

James sighed.

"Tell me she's hot, at least," he grumbled and that did bring a little smile back to his mother's lips. She squeezed his shoulder; both an apology, by her whispering thoughts, and gratitude.

"I'd say 'fiery' is a better word. Come on," she added, at last stepping away. "Let's go meet your bride to be."

Swallowing another sigh, James stood up and followed Raven downstairs. In the foyer of the Xavier estate stood the man James had come to see as a foster father: Logan Howlett (or 'the Wolverine' as the kids around here called him.) He nodded when he saw James, then his eyes shifted, presumably to Raven. James didn't bother following because his own eyes found the face of a young woman beside the older man. A strong-standing beauty with dark hair and a dangerous aura. His bride to be, as mom had so eloquently put it.

At least she's hot.

James watched his wife work diligently, moving with the comfortable ease of someone who had done this for a long time. Which, of course, Emily had but that didn't make the gesture any less endearing. Besides, she'd always been better at the fine details than he had.

"So," He said finally, when at last she'd stepped back. "How do I look?"

“Listen here, James! I am gonna fight your wife! No claws, no blinking. Just our fists.” -Laura Prime

James scowled at her. "Haha....abso-fucka-lutely not. Emily's not your enemy, Laura. Leave her alone."

[xmenwickedgame]

"Hi," James Xavier said gently, peering down the girl. His uncanny yellow eyes blinked at her, filled with warmth and also concern.

"That was a pretty nasty bump on your head," he went on, picking up a chart beside her bed. "We were worried you might have a concussion." He looked over the scribblings quickly; despite the sterile lighting flooding the infirmary, he still could not make sense of Hank's handwriting. I should talk to him about that. Again. Later.

He set the chart down again. "You're safe, by the way," he added. "My family brought you here. I'm James."

"Where...where am I?"

James: Whoa, man—I don’t want any trouble

Erik: You asked for trouble the moment you started infantilizing Charles. Leave us now.

James: Hold on, we can talk about this—

*Metal objects in the room start to shake*

Charles: Erik…

James: …nah, you know what? It’s fine. I’m fine…see you later, dad.

Erik: 😤 Charles, are you alright?

Charles: yes🥺thank you, Erik…but must you b…be so direct with him?

Erik: If I wasn’t direct, he’d try to take you away from me. You know that☹️

Charles: You’re right…I do

You couldn’t even save your own children. Ypu are nothing, father to nobody! (James X)

James opened his mouth to reply, but the crushed feeling beneath his ribs took the air from his lungs. Emily was right. He wasn't thinking, he couldn't think, couldn't see anything behind the violent wall of death-rebirth-death-rebirth cycling through his memories as if they'd just happened. As if they were still happening.

He sucked in a sharp breath, tears stinging his yellow eyes. I'm sorry, he wanted to say, but it didn't feel like enough. It's not enough, he thought, turning away from her. He deserved the rage she threw at him, deserved the blame, the guilt, the heartbreak. James Xavier wasn't the man she fell in love with anymore. That man was lost under layers and layers of vicious nightmares and volatile flashbacks. It was anyone's guess if he'd ever find his way back...

"You owe me a kiss." (James X)

A playful little smirk crawled across James' face.

"Oh yeah? What, are you keeping score?" A soft chuckle followed and then he obliged, tugging her in for a firm kiss.

[xmenwickedgame]

👀 + “I wonder how sturdy that desk is…want to find out?” [wink] (Emily!Prime)

James positively grinned. "I dunno," he said, yellow eyes roving up and down his wife'. Fuck, she was beautiful. "Is that a challenge? You know I never back down from a challenge," he added with a cheeky wink.

A sopping wet 15 year old girl has just turned up on your doorstep(in the middle of a rainstorm) asking if this is the place that mutants are safe (James X)

Fifteen-year-old James Xavier's yellow eyes widened.

"Oh shit," he said, gawking at the girl. A hand flew to his temple.

'Mom? Mom! We got another runaway.' At least, she looked like a runaway; those big, beautifuleeeerrrr sad, yeah, sad gray eyes and her disheveled clothes. Although that could also be the rain.

"Hey, are you okay?" James said, standing aside. "Come in, come on, it's fuckin' cold out there."

[xmenwickedgame]

❗ What do you regret most- Both James.

Second chances:

"I dunno if I regret anything as bad as you're saying, but..." James paused. He rubbed his chin. "Guess I coulda maybe listened to Magneto--er, Erik--while he was still here. Lookin' back, he did help my dad a lot. Maybe if I'd taken that into account, I'd know where they are, now. I know mom misses my dad...should've thought of that as well, I guess." He shrugged. "Gotta take what that guy says with a grain of salt. He still fucked up a lot of my family back in the day."

Prime Universe:

"...I should've done more to save my son."

Doppelganger:

"Uhhh...I dunno. Things've worked out pretty good for me overall. I fit in here a helluva lot more than I ever did back home." There's a pause. James lowered his voice. "I miss my mom sometimes. Logan too. Wish I hadn't been so, y'know, rude I guess back then. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like ostracized or anything, but...visiting's a little awkward. I don't really like going back much now."
