02. Healing Factor

Spoilers: Ultimate X-Men #48

‘….I’m not the only one here with a stupid haircut, you know….’

“Voila.” The confused-mixed-whatever sexed hair stylist making his/her finishing move. “Masterpiece.”

“Do you like it?” She leans over his shoulder, wiggling her eyes at him in the mirror. “At least your face is visible now.”

“Hn,” is all either of them get. The fact that the claws are not out, means….they don’t know.

She pays the bill and walks him out the door….and minutes later, gasps in horror.

“What’s happening?” A slender finger rises to his head. “Your hair, its-its….”

“Growing back,” he grins and scratches the newly grown sideburns. “Healing factor ‘member. Just like tats, got my hair styled a few times. Good way…”

“…To impress new girlfriends,” she completes with a smug smoldering smirk, one that sets him on guard.

“What?” He nevertheless asks.

“You know what just admitted to?” She snuggles around his arm, rubbing her tall, lithe body against him.

“What?” Again a single word.

“You just admitted that…” she steps around and wraps her arms around him. “….I am your girlfriend now.”
