Marvel: It Ain't Easy Being A Mutant - X-Men Male Reader Insert

"Together?"

Another bus left the station shortly after the passengers got on, ready to be taken away

For some, a means to get to work, for others, a way to get home

And for two in particular, a place that would change their lives forever

One, showing off her recently dyed blonde hair, and the other helping her with her luggage

It was a younger Emma, and with her for the first time, was you

The world had not been kind to young Miss Frost, for she had been kidnapped and nearly killed before she even turned 17

However, by playing some tricks of her own and your help, Emma got away with the ransom money all for herself and without a single scratch

That was a story for another time

As you walked down the different stops, you noticed the teenager beside you. With that money, she would definitely start a new life

Perhaps something luxurious like she had grown accustomed to. One would think that the possibility of it brought a smile to her face, but she seemed so...troubled

Especially when she looked at you, but there wasn't much time to talk about it, as you had reached the stop she needed

Although the bus wasn't there yet, you decided to break the ice, one way or another

You: Well, I guess this is where we part ways

You heard the girl sigh as she heard that

Emma: Yeah, about that...

She took off the sunglasses to look at you, deciding to take the first step

Emma: Listen, a hundred and sixty grand isn't a lot of money compared to Daddy's millions, but it'll be enough to start a new life somewhere else

You couldn't help but smile at her. It was a rather unique opportunity, despite it being the result of something so disturbing

But where you saw a new life for Emma, she saw something else, something bigger

And the spark in her eye told you so

Emma: I...I'd like to offer you that chance too

You nearly dropped her luggage when you heard that

You: What? Why? A-Are you sure? I--

She smiled and approached you, gently raising one finger as she stopped you

Emma: The world isn't black and white. You helped me realize that

Then, she raised another

Emma: You went out of your way to save my life, there's no one else I trust more than you right now

And another one

Emma: You have way too much potential to be stuck washing dishes. I know you're not greedy, but you deserve so much more

Lastly, she placed both hands on your shoulders to make you look at the smiling teenager

Emma: So yeah, I'm pretty sure about it

So this was what she was thinking so much about

When Emma reached out to you telepathically when kidnapped, you rushed to save a friend

You weren't expecting something so rewarding and yet, here you were, being offered a mind-blowing bargain by the girl you befriended just a month ago

Soon, you could hear the bus approaching in the distance

The blonde noticed this and returned to look at you
