#i dont always write powers in if they're not pivitol to the plot

Heeheehee okay so here they are. I'm going to categorize the powers by the love interest so keep that in mind!! These are just a few for right now lol. If you want a challenge tho, tell me what you think their X-men codenames would be!

Kurt: I usually stick with the necromancy mutant Idea for this reader!! I included it in one of my very first fics for him, but the basis is that the reader is a necromancer and can bring the dead to life, but is terrified of it. They're afraid of zombies and zombie movies and the only way they've been able to overcome it is to focus on ONLY bringing Dinosaurs and extinct animals to life because the thought of reviving humans is against their moral and ethical code. I always pair this power with Kurt bc he's just so supportive and would help them through the sacrealigous aspects of the power. (When I daydream about 97' angst, it's usually about how this reader would never risk actually attending Remy's funeral in worry their emotions would be too much to bear and they would accidentally risk reviving the entire graveyard. So they're forced to stand far away from the others and watch the funeral from the distance, despite how much they cry and mourn for their friend.)

Cable: The power I've pictured the Reader having in the tender moments series is a time traveling one. It takes a lot of energy for them to make big jumps in time on purpose, less so with small ones, but they can't always control their power. Sometimes the timeline just decides they're needed somewhere specifically and it just snatches them into a different time period. They've been somewhat orphaned during their life because of this, as when their powers first appeared they were very young and the timeline just snatched them from their parents and plopped them down somewhere else. Reader and Nate keep managing to run into eachother during these different timeline hijinx, first meeting for a few months as kids, a year as rivals in their teens, and then becoming more of a duo in their adult years. All the timeline shit does weird things for their age, and although they're nearly as old as Nate, they still look like a fairly young adult. They do not like this, and want to grow old like everyone else. They has more control over their powers now, but theres always a risk of the timeline snatching them away. I wrote a small angst WIP where them and Cable get in a fight/ he seriously hurts the reader under the control of sinister in that last two episodes, and as they lay there wounded the timeline snatches them away again, leaving Nate in regret.

Piotr: I haven't written a lot for him but I always picture the Reader as having a scary power despite their gentle nature. The one I think about the most is a transformative power where they turn into this specter/phantom like form that causes anyone who looks at them to be instantly overcome with visions of their worst fear. Even if you can't see them at the moment, when they activate this power, people tend to go into a fight, flight, or freeze mode because of the fear and danger this form just permeates. This obviously is not exactly something that they can do during an X men fight, so they choose not to join missions so that they don't make any innocents or any of the other X men collateral damage. Piotr really respects them for that, and likes that they are so caring and motherly towards children in particular despite LITERALLY basically being the boogeyman.

Would anyone be down to hear me gush about the mutant power ideas I usually picture the readers having in my fics???
