Theresa crashed on a common room couch with her laptop. She was watching some sort of video on the screen that at a glance might involve garden statuary and someone uttering the phrase "timey-wimey".

"Man those things freak..." Steve said as he walked up, promptly losing his ability to speak as he saw who was sitting there.

"Did you just blink?" She said, turning to look and see who it was. The room was suddenly filled with an awkward silence, punctuated only by the noise from her laptop.

"It's... okay I guess."
"You?" he added as if he was reluctant to hear the answer.

"Doing pretty well. Trying to avoid working on my math homework at the moment."

"I like it yeah..." he admitted.
"What of it?" he added, long trained to be automatically defensive about such things.

"Hey, chill," Theresa said, putting up her hands, "Nothing wrong with it at all, just wouldn't have figured you for one, that's all."

"You strike me as more of the jock type and I don't know of many of those who were sci-fi fans."

"Yeah... though it's a bit more serious than admitting you like space ships in front of your sports buddies." She seemed reluctant to dig deeper into the subject.

"Coming out as a mutant?" he asked, his own choice of words bringing out an 'open mouth, insert foot' expression on his face.

"That sort of happened on its own and it was just the last nail in the social coffin."

She sighed, "Yeah, the other was what you probably think it is." She pushed a button on her laptop, stopping the video.

"Yeah, sort of. You're a nice guy and all... but well... you're a guy." She quickly added, "I'm still happy to be friends and stuff if you are."
