BWI Airport, Portalocity Port, Saturday Morning

Timing had worked in Bruce's favor this morning. After a long overnight flight from Japan, he was really early for the shuttle to Fandom. That was according to plan. This way he'd get to see how people came into the room marked "Fandom High," whether they were nervous, or excited, or annoyed at the very thought of having to go to school.

Those first impressions didn't necessarily mean anything, but Bruce felt they often gave a good insight into how his new classmates would react in a stressful situation. You never knew when that kind of thing might come in handy.

"... They're... very flexible wings."

Awkward. Oh, yeah. Very awkward. Warren glanced at the door of the bus, and then at the guy in the red outfit... thing. "Not really worth talking about, you know?"

And now he was regretting the harness, because he'd have to break the stupid thing in order to make a quick getaway, if need be.

Deadpool rolled his eyes. "Yeah, no one gives a crap there, kid. Well, they might think it was a very elaborate hoax staged by the Catholic church and--oh my baby Nate, do you have a costume yet? Is it that horrible blue one?"

You know, Kurt and Bruce and Roy and the rest had all seemed so normal. And then there was the guy driving the bus...

"I don't have a costume, no. Unless you count the coat." That hot black leather number was only for the promotional shots, because Marvel was mean. "Is that what that is that you're wearing?"

Blue wasn't really Warren's color, anyhow.

Who was special even by Fandom standards.

"I think this is more my---cultural heritage."

A beat.

"And don't you be judging, or I'll make you sit next to that kid where on scholarship. God is he judgy. He makes your X-Buddies seem like Golden Age 'Acceptance for all, but not you because you've been all murdery in the past even though we have Wolverine on the team and that's kinda all he does' seem... not so much like that."

Another beat.

"Or something."

This conversation was starting to make Warren's head spin.

"X-buddies? Wolverine? What?" Error, error, did not compute. "I don't think I'm really in any position to be judgmental, here. But I don't think I know what you're talking about, beyond that."

At least he was honest?

"...the X-Men? Workin' the make humans and mutants be buddies and fighting the evil Brotherhood?"

"... I think I've seen something like that on the news?"

Once or twice? Their leather outfits had been ~~hot~~ interesting.

Look, he was a teenager, okay?

"...fail." Deadpool sighed. "Well, I'm sure you'll join them eventually."

For the hot leather outfits. Deadpool, meanwhile, got sexy kevlar vests and military pants.

Mmmmmm.

"That... doesn't really seem like the sort of thing that I'm likely to get wrapped up in," Warren confessed. Because his universe was strange and wrong. "That whole 'humans and mutants' part sounds nice, though."

A bit like a pipe dream. But nice.

"...yeeeeeah. Live the dream. Live the dream."

"You're patronizing me, aren't you?" Warren had to check, yes.

"God yes. You get used to it, my lil' turtle dove."

Better a turtle dove than a partridge in a pear tree, or at least a guy in pyjamas.

"I think that's what I'm afraid of."

"It could be worse," Deadpool pointed out.

Don't ask how it could be worse, Warren. Don't. You probably don't want to know.

"How could it be worse?"

You asked.

"You could be blue."

"Okay, now that's just ridiculous."

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough."
