Chapter 87: Mystique and Law (3)

[A/N: Guess who is back? And this time, I have come with a bulk of chapters ready with lot of ideas in mind. Though, I had to scrap the fantastic 4 idea since the dr. Doom reveal. But this is going to be so much fun. And I am sorry for being away but Life has been a bitch.]

'Well.....Might as well give this a shot. Gwen wants to have it slow. But damn it's so annoying to wait. When she becomes a superhero herself, I will explain it to her.' Law came to his decision.

"Hey, Umm, Would you like to go out with me?" Law asked straightforwardly without mincing his words.

Mystique was stunned by this "You understand that I just lost one of my best friends? Right? And you ask me out right after that?"

There was no anger in her voice just confusion at how stupid a man could be.

Law was never good at understanding people feelings but one thing that he was good at was giving snarky replies.

"Hey, babe, tragedy's a part of life, but so is movin' on. You're a strong, beautiful blue lady, and I'd love to show you a good time, maybe even put a smile back on that gorgeous face. What do ya say? One night to forget the pain and just enjoy the moment?"

Mystique thought 'He's insane, but maybe a little insanity is what I need right now. He's certainly not boring. No no what I am even thinking?'

Mystique's heart ached at the memory of her lost friend, the pain still fresh and raw. She knows she should be mourning, not entertaining the idea of a date or something even more.

'How can I even think of moving on so quickly? Would it dishonor their memory?' She thought embarrassed at her thoughts.

Her thoughts were clouded with doubt and guilt, her emotions in turmoil. She looked at Law, her eyes revealing the struggle within her.

"I... I don't know if I can do this," she admitted to him, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's too soon, too... wrong."

Law noticed Mystique's inner conflict, softened his tone, showing a rare moment of genuine empathy.

"Hey, I get it. Loss is tough, and I'm not here to replace anyone or make you forget. But sometimes, a little distraction, a little laughter, can help heal the heart. Think of it as a tribute to your friend, a way to remember the good times amidst the pain. And hey, if it's too much, we can just hang out. No pressure, no expectations. Just two people trying to make sense of a crazy world. What do you say?"

Mystique looked at Law, a mix of gratitude and apprehension in her eyes. His words resonated with her, offering a glimmer of solace in the darkness of her grief.

"You're right," she says softly, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Maybe a little distraction wouldn't hurt. Let's just... see where the night takes us, okay?"

She extends her hand towards him, a silent agreement between them. Law grinned taking her hand in his, ready to lead her on an adventure.

'Magneto, my friend, at least you did something good by dying. I will make sure to take good care of your friend here and please give us your blessings from heaven.' Law grinned as he thought about that.

Mystique also was having her own thoughts 'Law is unpredictable, but he's strong in his own way. Maybe being with someone like him, someone who can handle anything, is what I need right now. I would not have to feel helpless again with him with me. Besides, he has already told me how I can better my own ability. Maybe with his training, I won't have to be a helpless mutant girl again. And who knows, maybe a night of letting loose with him could be just what I need right now.'

Mystique looked at Law with a slight smile on her face. She asked "Do you really want to go out with me? Do I not look like a alien to you with all this blue skin?"

"How many times have I told you that you have your own charm? Besides your mutant power is every man's dream." Law said with a smile on his face.

Mystique smiled back and asked with a wry smile "Did I really seduce you with... my charms?"

As she said, she cast a glance at her bosom and looked forward to his reaction.

Law's smile widened profoundly, "I would be lying if I said you didn't..."

"What part of me seduced you then?"

While she spoke, Law arrived in front of her and placed his finger on her eyebrow.

"Your eyes..."

His finger curved as it traced downwards and touched her nose tip.

"Your nose..."

Moving downwards, his fingers caught her plump lips as he slightly squeezed.

"Your lips..."

Mystique felt his heated gaze and slightly blushed.

"Which novel did you read these lines from?"

"The Romantic Adventures of Macky by Johnny Sins," Mystique laughed at that.

"Here is your roo....." Before Law could finish his sentence, he was pushed into the room as Mystique's lips touched his.
