All of the groovy kids are doing it.

1K comments, first impressions/relationship meme, where the hell did all of those comments come from so quickly, etc.. Be warned that I will be asking for reverses. Also, that this might take me a while, since yesterday's internet blackout left me quite behind.

Erik, you don't count, you're getting your own essay or something.

Relationship meme for Vanya!

[mind_over_metal]

Vanya, Vanya, Vanya! There are a number of campers who fire up Charles's teacher/big brother instincts, but Vanya sends them into overdrive. And, obviously, in this case, there's absolutely nothing to do with the whole mutant cause -- it's just pure personal Charles with his compassion and urge to help and also sympathy for a lonely child. He's also no stranger to persisting with people with stubborn/twisted views of themselves (e.g. Erik), and he's very willing to be patient and stick with them and provide the faith that they need, even if it is sometimes, truthfully, frustrating for him.

So Charles will be wanting to keep an eye on Vanya, keep in touch with her. Having someone be consistently there for her -- particularly an adult, from what it seems that her previous experience with adults has been -- seems like something that could do good. And doing good is groovy.

listen to the song here in my heart/ a melody I've started but can't complete/ listen to the sound from deep within/ it's only beginning to find release

Reverse, please!

Sorry this is late, I was waiting for Vanya and Charles' powers thread to reach a good point to comment back and then I forgot I never reversed! This is probably going to be long, so hopefully that will make up for its extreme lateness!

Vanya really likes Charles and is just so happy that he seems to not hate her. Vanya has a lot of Camp family, and she definitely is starting to consider Charles as part of it and one day she'll ask him if he minds that.

Even though she's never heard about Professor Xavier or the X-Men before being in Camp, she understand that they're very important superheroes and Vanya is kind of surprised but also excited that he's willing to help her. She trusts him, which is saying a lot because Vanya doesn't like trusting adults. She was glad that when they first met he didn't seem to care that she didn't have powers, so she knew he was nothing like Hargreeves. She's even happier now that she has what she thinks is a real reason to talk to him, and will probably use her powers as an excuse to bother him more. As much as Vanya's afraid of adults and doesn't like trusting them due to previous experiences, she craves their approval and attention, so that fact that Charles is willing to help her and talk to her makes her so happy.

ALSO, this probably seems like a minor thing, but Charles calls her by name a lot (Magneto does this too, which is an even bigger deal to her), which is a huge deal for Vanya since Hargreeves refused to call her anything but her number and she didn't even have a name until sometime after her tenth birthday. Little things like adults calling her by name or offering her advice or showing interest in her mean more to Vanya than one would think since she never got that kind of attention at home. Small things like this is why Vanya was okay with Charles looking into her mind even though she knew he was going to see some horrible things that she's afraid to tell people about.

Vanya also worries about Charles a little now that she's met Magneto and also talked to Babs a little bit about Charles and Magneto. Vanya can tell that they are (or were) really good friends, but something's wrong now and it makes her sad. Vanya has decided that they are probably each others' "most important person" and she wants to help them, but she has no idea how. She's hoping she'll figure out a way to help them because they are now part of her Camp family and she wants them to be happy!

SORRY THAT WAS SO LONG. She has a lot of feelings!

You're saying something about "lateness" to the person who took over a month to finish getting through this meme...

NO APOLOGIES ACCEPTED. ONLY LOVE GIVEN ♥♥

.....by any chance, would you have a link to Vanya talking to Babs about Charles and Erik?
