talktoolooseTitle: Days of Becoming, Chapter 8 - "Measured Response"
Author: Talktooloose
'Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: Swearing, I think. It means nothing to me, so I don't really take note. Bubbling sexuality. Implied use of hand lotion as a sexual aid. Bad puns.
Series Summary: This novel focusses mainly on the paths Iceman and Pyro take on their way to adulthood and how they discover and deal with their love for each other. It is a novel about what Joni Mitchell calls "the dream's malfunction" and how we can learn to make our own dreams when our heroes fail us. Other X characters and OC's play prominent roles and the action begins before X1, continues through the events of X2 and X3 and concludes in the aftermath of that movie.
Chapter Summary: The characters react to the shooting in Pasadena. At the mansion, they plan action; in Boston, a disillusioned Mike meets an interesting girl; at the mutant youth meeting in New York, Bobby makes a bold (or is it foolish) move. Bobby and Kitty wonder what's up with all the spandex.

kuriadalmatia and lux_apollo. My betas' feedback really pushed me to clarify both the action and the character intentions here. Humble thanks.
Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own this stuff but they need us to make sense of it.
Here's the chapter!

It must be frustrating waiting for the OTP to finally show up, but things need to happen in the right order. Sorry. It would be worse if I compromised the story to speed things up.
Want to know something? I had absolutely no intention of bringing Jubilee into this book but suddenly, there she was, waiting to waltz into Mike's life. Demanding little character she is!
