  In which Thaddeus gets the y of the nd~

  -x-X-x- … No. If Emma was right and he was surrounded on all sides by people who wanted a piece of him, then Thaddeus couldn’t just wait for them to e to him. Not only would he be g the advahat making the first move would give him, but he would also be triggering all of their arm bells, making them wonder if maybe HE was onto them. And sure, teically he was… but he didn’t o let them know that. Pushing off the bed, Thaddeus nods to himself as he gets his game fa, squares his shoulders, and finally braves the cold outdoors that is the hallway corridht outside of his dorm room. He’ll just che with everyone on his own floor, Thaddeus figures. That will be good enough for nht? Moving to his door neighbor, Thaddeus hesitates only briefly before politely knog… only to get absolutely no response. Blinking owlishly, Thaddeus leans in close and presses his ear to the door for a moment before pulling ba embarrassment and gng to his left and right. Luckily no one is there to see him being a weirdo. But also, in the moment that he pressed his ear to the door, Thaddeus firmed something… there was actually nobody IN the room o his. No sounds that would signal signs of life at all, in fact. He wasn’t quite up to the point that he could hear someone’s heartbeats yet, but he could actually usually hear breathing if he listened really, really closely. With that in mind, Thaddeus goes to the door and knocks on that one. No ahere either… but this time he does hear breathing. Slow, evehing that makes him blush as he realizes whoever is inside is asleep. And apparently a deep enough sleeper that he didn’t actally wake them up. Good, that never made food first impression and even if everyone in this dormitory turned out to be spying on him, he didn’t want to make bad first impressions. Quite the opposite, in fabsp;Letting out a sigh, Thaddeus checks the door with his hearing ahead of time and after disc that there are two people inside and they AREN’T asleep, he finally knocks. Only to almost immediately get the door answered by a bubbly brue of all things. “Oh! Hello there, handsome! What I do for you?” He half-expects her to ent about why a guy is in a girls-only dormitory in the first pd when she doesn’t, he’s immediately a little suspicious. But then, maybe he’s just being paranoid. Putting on his best smile, Thaddeus gives the cute brue a flirtatious wink. “Well, hello to you too, beautiful. My haddeus and I was just getting the y of the nd, so to speak. My own room is three doors down, so I figured it only made seo get to know my neighbors.” Once again, he expects her to be surprised or SOMETHING by the fact that he’s just admitted he’s somehow rooming in a girls-only dormitory. But the brue’s mega-watt smile barely flickers as she thrusts out a hand. “Pleasure to meet you! I’m Kitty… Kitty Pryde! Always good to know your neighbors!” As she chirps his own words ba, Thaddeus carefully takes her hand and gives it a shake, now more suspicious of her than ever. But before he say or do anything else… “You smell good.” “Holy shi-!” He damn near jumps out of his skin as the sed girl, who he’d KNOWN was in here but somehow lost track of, all but appears right at his side. She’s almost the por opposite of Kitty in terms of personality, at least outwardly speaking. Her eyes are flinty, her gaze is pierg, and she has this expressionless look going on as she gets WAY too close and… and sniffs him. “L-Laura! We talked about sniffing people, what the hell?!” Kitty, of course, bnches and immediately grabs her roommate, this ‘Laura’ chick by the arm, yanking her bato the room and behind her. Laura doesn’t seem to want to go at first, but she does eventually, though her eyes never leave him. Seeming a little panicked now, Kitty gives off a nervous bout of ughter as she bows her head in apology to him. “S-Sorry! She’s not normally like that, I swear! Good meeting you, Thaddeus!” And with that she closes the door in her face. Thaddeus lifts an eyebrow, w if she would eventually realize that in her panic, she’d really been even ruder than her roommate had been. At least Laura’s weirdness had e with a pliment. Still… he’s not above wordlessly leaning forward and listening in for a sed. “What the hell was that Laura?! ‘You smell good’?! Are y to blow our cover?! Ya know, when the Professave me this mission, I went to bat for you to be allowed to take you along. D-Don’t ruin this for me, okay?!” “… Sorry. But he’s still standing there if you want tain.” That’s all Thaddeus o hear to high tail it out of there. There’s a smile on his face as he moves on from that door, which he internally bels ‘X-Men Room’. Good to knorofessor Xavier hasn’t given up on recruiting him apparently… and it expins why Kitty clearly wasn’t very good at the whole destine spy thing. He got the impression that the X-Men ‘ti’ weren’t really here to mess with him too badly, but rather to offer him an option whehings went badly. Good for them, but Thaddeus had his own pns… Still, if they were here from the X-Men, that meant both Kitty and Laura were probably mutants, didn’t it? And Thaddeus wouldn’t mind giving them both some boosts as part of a little quid pro quo… after all, the X-Mehe good guys, right? Moving down the hall with a little bit more swagger in his step, Thaddeus eventually finds another room with people actually ihat will respond to his knog. The door opens and he blinks at the sight of one of the most punk girls he’s ever seen waiting inside. Not just her either… behind her is a girl that’s practically just as punk, albeit with white streaks through her hair and pale skin. Sed girl is more b on goth in fact, though Thaddeus will admit privately… he doesn’t know the differenbsp;“Sup, stud? You lost or something?” The first girl makes a show of looking him up and down as she drawls that out and before Thaddeus answer, she smirks wickedly and bats her shes. “Ya know, if you’re looking for yirlfriend’s room… you don’t have to keep looking. Would be happy to eain ya instead~” Behihe irl in the room squawks at that, causing the first to ugh. Thaddeus just watches the exge a little bewildered as the first pats his chest. “Just pying with ya. I’m Risty. The easily offended one behind me is Anna Marie. What we do for a handsome pieeat like you?” Even Thaddeus blushes a little at THAT one. Meanwhile, the pale girl now identified as Anna Marie is wringing her gloved hands together as she bites down on her purple-painted lower lip. Finally, Thaddeus mao recover from the… overly aggressive opening. It’s not that he’s not used to some girls ing on strong, but admittedly there weren’t many punk oth girls in the small town he’d grown up in. Though he had to admit… these two coeds were ROG the look. “Heh, sorry for b you both… just getting the y of the nd aing my neighbors. The haddeus and I’ll be in the room at the far end of this hall if you need anything.” Risty’s eyes widen at that and then narrow in suspi. “Oh? We were told this dormitory would be women-only. That ged?” Smiling sheepishly and spreading his hands apart, Thaddeus just shrugs. “Don’t think so… probably just a mix-up. Maybe I’ll get moved eventually, but until that happens I promise to be on my best behavior.” Risty’s narrowed look almost immediately morphs bato a raunchy grin at that. “Oh? And what if we don’t want you to be on your best behavior, handsome?” Thaddeus does what es naturally… he grins right back at her and gives her a saucy wink in turn. This causes Risty to ugh and Anna Marie to blush profusely, even as the frabs the edge of the door. “Well… nice meeting you stud. We’ll see you around, I’m sure~” Thaddeus nods and waves goodbye, before the door is closed on him… albeit less rudely tha time. At the same time, he ’t help himself… he leans in close and listens ily. “Y-Ya really think that he help me with my mutation, ma?” “I think it ’t hurt to try… or rather, it could if we’re not careful. I’m not saying you should go arouing him touch your bare skin any time soon, all things sidered. But Destiny has seen some futures where his own powers might work beyond… purely physical tact. There might be things you do without toug one ahat t for the purposes of his mutation all the same.” “… Alright ma. I’ll follow your lead.” Thaddeus blinks rapidly as he steps away from that door. In his head, he doesn’t quite know what to bel it. He feels like he should know… why the hell would Anna Marie be calling Risty ‘ma’? They were the same age, weren’t they? It’s oip of his to he’s struggling to ect the dots at the moment. No… wait… His eyes widen as he figures it out. They know about his ability to increase the powers of the women he sleeps with, something that even HE didn’t really know about until Natalie Rushman. The only person who could possibly know about that would be… Mystique. Was that why she’d run away like she had all those months ago? Except she arently baow. Risty WAS Mystique, wasn’t she? And apparently she’d brought her… daughter along? To what, tug on his heart strings? He didn’t fully uand, but at least he could safely bel their door as ‘Brotherhood of Mutants’. Though at this rate, wouldn’t it be more accurate to call them the ‘Sisterhood of Mutants’ if every single member he ied with from the anization was going to be a woman? Still, Thaddeus tinues on. And finally, he es to the very end of the hall and the st door before the stairwell. This time, when he knocks… “Oh! Who could that be?” “I don’t know, let’s find out shall we?” The door opens and this time around it’s not one of the room’s octs answering, but both. One of them is a cute, almost-mousy bruh a twitg hat gives away her enhanced sense of smell immediately, while the other is a bloh short-cut hair who’s blue eyes slide up and down his body without hesitation. her of them actually speaks up at first… ihey look at him expetly, prompting Thaddeus to ugh and rub the back of his head. “Err… sorry if I’m interrupting something. The haddeus… I’m in the room at the opposite end of this hallway and I figured I’d go around ao know all of my neighbors… the ones who are actually here and willing to ahe door, anyways.” The two girls share a g that and then both try to speak at the same time. “You weren’t interrupting any-!” “The name’s Gwen-!” They pause and look at each ain, befesturing almost simultaneously. “You go ahead-!” “No, you go!” The brue blushes brightly as she gets i word, prompting Gwen t her shoulders and look back at him with a wry grin. “The name’s Gwen Stacy. Teically Gwendolyn, but I puhe st guy who tried to use that ohis overexcitable fuzzball here is Doreen Green.” Dorees out the cutest little squeak at being introduced by her roommate and hurriedly thrusts her hand forward, much to both Gwen and Thaddeus’ amusement. heless, Thaddeus takes ahold of it and gives it a solid shake, even as he wonders just what their game really is. “Anyways, you weren’t interrupting anything too special… we were just getting to know each other.” “T-That’s right! I was introdug Gweo my best friend in the whole wide world, Tippy-Toe!” Thaddeus ’t help but raise an eyebrow at that, prompting Gwen to dryly jump in. “Tippy-Toe is her pet squirrel.” Whi turn causes Doreen to stomp her foot angrily. “T-That’s not true, Gwen! I m-mean… Tippy-Toe IS a squirrel, but she’s not a pet! She’s actually quite smart and is a friend… a panion! I don’t OWN her or anything like that.” Crossing her arms over her chest, Gwen rolls her eyes but has a somewhat amused smile on her face that shows she finds Doreen’s antidearing rather than annoying. “At least you aowledge that owning a squirrel as a pet would be a problem, I suppose.” Reizing that she’s being teased, Doreen just huffs at that, puffing up her cheeks in a rather striking impression of… well, a squirrel. Thaddeus could easily believe the girl had a pet squirrel in fact. Though… he couldn’t quite figure out what her wen’s deal actually was. They were doing an exceptional job of ag like they hadn’t known each other before today, before being roommates. But did Thaddeus really believe that? Even if he didn’t… what could he really do about it? “That said…” Gwen’s voice is suddenly specutive, drawing him out of his internal ption as the blonde looks him up and down again and gives him a flirtatious grin. “We WERE just getting to know each other… and if you want you could… join in on that, handsome.” Her sultry, seductive tone makes Doreen squeak, the squirrel-like girl clearly pig up on what Gwen utting down just as quickly as Thaddeus had. But far from rejeg the idea, Doreen takes one look at him… and nods her head up and dowhusiastically, clearly just as ied. The only problem is, Thaddeus still has no idea who these two are or what they’re doing here. Clearly they’re not normal… but who are they w for? Teically he might be able to find out by taking Gwen up on her offer… but he also might be walking right into a trap by entering their dht now. Was it really worth it? Or was he better off pying it safe for the time being and just… letting Gwen dowly for now? Thaddeus siders his options for a moment before opening his mouth to respond. -x-X-x- The Patreon Vote: [ ] Joiwo girls iing to know each other' (Sex not guaranteed) - 36%[X] Politely dee and head back to his room (Sex guaranteed, but mystery option visit) - 64%
