Remember my hivemind/bee-like/mind-control mutant Reader? Yeah, from the Villain AU? Well, what if we have a version of them in X-Men Evolution AU?

Reader Readerson, a lone wolf kind of teen, who wears brown boots, a black top, and golden-amber shorts, is a mutant who only recently discovered their mutation. But it isn't something they like, or feel safe with. Not at all.

They can control people, in a way.

They aren't sure exactly how or why, they just know they have some kind of, of venom, or maybe a pheromone, or something, that if a person absorbs, Reader can hear their thoughts. And the ones infected? They can hear Reader's, too. But when Reader tries to figure it out, or fix it, they find that while the infected retain their personality and memories and know how to breathe and blink, they are influenced by Reader.

Reader never meant to find out, they aren't aren't sure how it happened, it was an accident, they swear! But now their mind is constantly filled with the hum of other thoughts, seeing and hearing things those others feel, having to hear and know in full their anger and terror and panic and hate, and Reader just-

They stop sleeping.

They start wearing gloves.

They stay away from groups, from crowds, from everyone, more than they already did.

They feel scared of themself, they want to cry but can't, they feel like a monster, they don't want to be like this, they don't want to exist-!

They end up transferred to a new school, they're forced to pack up and go to wherever their new home is, and now they have to make themself as unnoticeable and forgettable as possible. They're alone, in this strange new place, left to their own devices, and with no one to turn to. It's excruciating. They're in pain. Their mind hurts almost each waking moment...

But they can't sleep for longer than a few hours, or they might see or hear the others, might have to see their faces and be under their scrutiny and possibly yelled at or blamed or abandoned all over again... And they can't go through it again. They just can't...

They end up catching the eye of Xavier and Mystique, both of whom want their teens to try and find our more about Reader, see if they can figure out the extent of their abilities, and perhaps see if they can get Reader to join them...

This leads to the X-Teens and Brotherhood teens trying to figure out the lonely kid who talks only when spoken to, who looks exhausted, and who wears gloves, sweaters even when it's hot, and stay to their own devices. Jean tries to see into their mind, to see what they're working with- and is pulling back out, shaken up a bit by how loud and scared it is inside Reader's head, full of constant stress and fright and paranoia...

Kitty and Kurt try to appear as possible friends or study buddies, putting on their best face, and inviting Reader to sit with them during fieldtrips. Reader is scared of almost everything and everyone, according to Jean, so they need to be as unintimidating as possible. Evan gets them to help tutor him and offers to help them with picking an extracurricular (Oh look, basketball, he's sure they'd be great at that! And he plays it too! What are the odds!) Rogue is sitting by them, offering silent company or recommending some good books, choosing ones with themes of friendship and acceptance. And Scott and Jean are trying to appeal to them, in an older sibling/student kind of way, asking if they are okay, and if they might want to see their Professor for some help, do they need someone to walk them home from school or drive them where tbey need to go?

Wanda is giving them space. She'll simply sit there, read a book or work on homework, but otherwise be a presence around Reader, so they'll get used to it. Pietro is trying to come off as charming, asking questions a mile a minute, offering g that he and his friends are the best, so wouldn't Reader like to try hanging with them? Todd takes art class with them, and compliments their clay sculptures and paintings, hoping to bind through creativity. Fred is trying trying help them during P.E., mainly by making sure they don't get hurt during dogeball (so do all the other mutants kids). And Lance tries to come off as trustworthy, pointing out they're both kinda loners, they both happen to have powers, and while he has a team, Reader doesn't, so why not join their side, hm?

Reader feels overwhelmed, but manages to hold it all in- until the adults enter, and now Reader is spiraling as their powers are about to be found out in their fullest form, and they can't stand stand be yelled at, or cast out, or seen as evil.

This ends up with the discovery going in a way Reader didn't expect... And with the growing platonic yanderes more worried than ever about this newest mutant...

"Hey, Izzy! I've been thinking about a new name. What do you think of Badassatron? Actually, it's pronounced... BADASSATRON..."

"...Why...?"

She feels like she's missing something here.

Logging Off

For the sake of our own mental health we've decided to migrate to a different account that can/will follow sysblr exclusive tags rather than our main so if we need to step away, we can do so without having to entirely remove ourselves from Tumblr as a whole because we really and truly love a very wonderful few of the communities here. Thank you and I'll link the new acct when it is ready!

Lewis and Sebastian on their wedding day anyone?

Lewis:

- He silently chants to himself that he isn't going to cry but the second he steps down the aisle and sees Seb waiting for him, it's all over.

- It's almost like a waterfall how much he cries.

- He cries even harder when he sees Isabelle in her cute frilly flower girl dress and Leo in his little tuxedo in the front row next to his parents.

- He can barely make it through his vowes before he has to turn away and get a tissue from Daniel (aka his best man).

- Seb tries to soothe him by softly rubbing his back while he dries his eyes.

- When he finally does make it through his vowes he looks up only to see Seb looking at him like he's the only man to exist.

- He swears his heart almost bursts...and he starts crying again.

- This time his tears are interrupted by Isabelle yelling "Dad quit crying! Papa Seb is trying marry you! You are supposed to be happy!" Which causes everyone to laugh.

- He gives her an empathetic smile and tries his best not to cry anymore during the ceremony.

- He fails but it's the thought that counts.

Sebastian:

- Don't you dare think this man is in the clear when it comes to crying.

- The reason why Lewis starts crying when he sees Seb waiting for him is because Seb is standing at the alter with a shaky lip and tears in his eyes.

- When Lewis reaches him the first thing Seb does is smile and softly whisper "You look so beautiful" just loud enough for Lewis to hear.

- Sebastian does a bit better with his vowes but his voice does get a bit shaky when he mentions how grateful he is to become a part of the Lewis, Isabelle, and Leo's family.

- His tears truly start flowing when Kimi (his best man) hands him the rings.

- He gently runs his thumb over the knuckles on Lewis' hand, just admiring.

- He still can't believe that just 3 years ago he was a single retired driver who was convinced he was going to spend the rest of his life alone (+ his bees). And now he was getting married to the most amazing man he's ever met.

- That thought alone causes him to start bawling.

- His hands shake as he slips the ring onto Lewis' finger and he tries his best to wipe away any stray tears. (It doesn't work that well)

- He's asked first by the officiant and with out hesitation he says "I do." And the second he hears Lewis say "I do" and the officiant gives him the go ahead, he scoops Lewis up by the waist and seals the deal.
