Fortuneteller's fortune teasing.

Meanwhile in a hospital in New York…

Making their way through the hallways to a room at the north wing of the hospital, a pair of detectives found where they were looking for and found the cot where an **** patient slept… With a raging hard on.

“Geez, the heck they gave this guy?” Asked one of the detectives as he stood shaking his head at the tent in the blanket from the **** man with a bullseye tattooed on his forehead.

“Lester Jangles, the Bullseye.” The other detective stated as he went over the chart at the foot of the bed. “Paramedics responded to him asleep on the floor of the men’s room of a bar…. Obviously the doctors assume foul play.”

“I don’t know… Most men would be envious of being able to keep it up for that long. But then again Viagra always says if it lasts for more than four hours to consult a doctor.”

“Good thing he’s in a hospital then.” Putting the clipboard back at the foot of the bed, the detective shook his head. “Wonder who YOU ran into that gave you a wild night for your trouble.”

Poking her head out of the bedroom to find her wife Destiny standing at the kitchen counter and pulling off her golden mask and pulling her brunette hair free of the hood she wore, Mystique stepped out, taking on the appearance of wearing a pair of white jeans and a halter top when she approached and hugged the blind fortune teller.

“Welcome home dear.” Raven smiled, pulling away with her hands resting at her sides as she looked back at the woman with an innocent smile. “How was the meeting with…”

“What’s that smell?” Irene asked, taking on the same pose as her lover, tilting her head to the side like she always did when she was playing at a lead. Sniffing the air, Irene turned her head to look down despite being blink and idly kicked away an empty milk carton. “I take it the night you had was wilder than most?”

“You knew about that?” Raven blinked in surprise but remained stoic as she quietly tried to clean up the mess she left behind.

“You’ll be surprised WHAT I know love… But while you’re cleaning up the mess of your Saturday night, let me tell you about the meeting since you’re oh so curious.”

“Do tell.”

For a stint, Destiny shook her head and chuckled to herself, resting her fingers over her brow as if fighting a brief migraine when she turned around on her heel and leaned against the wall. “Well for one Sinister is now rotting in a well somewhere in the deepest part of Krakoa for the 1000 year shit storm he caused. And you would NOT believe who they hand picked to take his seat on the silent council now that he’s gone.”

“Who?”

Snorting in amusement, Irene crossed her arms. “Selene FUCKING Gallio…”

Mystique nearly dropped the bundle of waste she had in her hands heading to the garbage bin, holding back a chuckle at the news. “The Black Priestess?! Are you kidding me?”

“Oh my no… I’m assuming someone is trying to make a power move, my money is on Shaw, the preening little pigeon.” Irene sighed, leaning her head back against the wall as she stared up with pale eyes. “So when were you going to talk to me about the kids on our bed?”

Blinking back at her wife as Irene smirked back at her, Mystique watched as her lover turned and entered the bedroom, leaving Raven to quickly try to catch up to follow her. By the time she was in the room, Irene was sitting on the bed next to her newborn triplets who slept bundled in the makeshift blankets they were wrapped in. Tracing a gloved finger affectionate over their hair, Destiny smiled, humming to herself.

“My oh my… They look JUST like their mother.” Even though the woman was blind, she was far from lying. All three children sported a deep ocean blue tint to their skin, and their hair was a deep crimson. Sitting politely with her hands in her lap, the blind brunette smiled back up to Raven, sporting a mischievous grin the entire time. “Something you wish to tell me sweetheart?”

Calculating whether to come clean about the serum she stole from Sinister’s lab or the tryst she had at the bar in New York, Raven decided to keep her cards close to her chest as she moved to sit across the other side of the bed with her triplets between them. The act of which had Destiny place her fingers over her own brow again as if to calm another headache, yet her smile never left her lips, almost as if she was seeing something that amused her.

“What can I say? I figured since we’re married we might as well start a family. I’d introduce Kurt or Anne Marie to move in… But we’ve had some bad blood in the past.” Raven shrugged, rolling her eyes. “I thought why not start fresh?”

“You started pretty fast!” Irene smirked, tracing another finger gently through the hair of one of Raven’s sons. “Well let me know in the future so we can buy a few cribs for the little ones. AND restock the refrigerator. You were pretty hungry when you got home.”

“Still am.” Raven found, rubbing her middle. Despite having completely healed from giving birth, it was not as athletically firm last she remembered. And it growled silently, almost as if she had missed a couple of meals in the day.

“Well then, guess we’ll need to restock.” Getting up from her seat, Irene moved over to the telephone and made to dial. “Let’s order out tonight, and we’ll worry about refilling the pantry tomorrow.”
