[SCENES!] Julian and Josh, plus a bit of Scott & Hank

Read this first!

"Civilians? Yeah, right," Julian snorted as he took off into the air. "See you later, asswipes!" he told his fellow students, making it clear that the Hulk was his target.

Josh was helping Kitty and Warren lead the civilians to safety. He had successfully pulled Kurt into the subway, who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying being a fake civilian.

Suddenly there was a crack, and Josh turned quickly to notice that Julian had been flying, and knocked out of the air by one of the Hulk's swinging fists. Julian was plummeting to the ground quickly.

Josh quickly ran across the debris on the streets. "I'm coming, Julian! Don't be scared!"

Josh stumbled to a stop as Julian hit the littered floor, only slightly protected by the blue shield that manifested a split second too late. Julian let out a roar of pain as his shoulder crashed sickeningly against the concrete.

"Fuck," he growled out, immediately twisting into a sitting position.

Eyes wide, Josh rushed to his teammate's side, gold hands reaching for the other mutant's arm. "I'm here, Julian. I'll--"

"Don't TOUCH me!" For a moment, Julian looked more frightened than angry, and then his face twisted into a glare.

Josh flinched back slightly. Then his lips made a thin line. "Yeah, like I want to?! But you're hurt, and I have to heal you."

"Get away from me!" he bellowed, tugging his arm away from the other mutant's grasp.

"What is your problem, Julian?!"

"What? I just don't want you TOUCHING me!" Julian answered angrily.

"Boys! Boys!" Scott interrupted angrily. "I hate to break character, but focus on your objective here first! We'll talk about this later," he said sternly. "Both of you in my office after the session."

Scott took off, feigning helplessness as an innocent pedestrian, while mentally taking points away from both of the boys for that session. Julian shot another glare at Josh. "Don't," he said warningly. "I can take care of my own ass better than you can, so leave me alone, okay? I'm fine."

Josh shrugged. "Don't come begging me for help later, then."

Julian barked out a laugh. "Me? Do I look like I need your help, smartass?!" He gave Josh a shove with his good arm, which Josh threw off and shoved back.

"HEY!" someone cried. The two boys looked up to see their iced-up classmate, Bobby, suspended above them on an ice slide. "We are on a time limit here! What are you doing? Move!"


Later that day, in the infirmary...
Hank McCoy sighed, tearing down an X-ray of Julian's shoulder from the lightbox on the wall. "It's a hairline fracture, Mr. Keller. Do stop being difficult and just let him heal you. Do you really want to spend months letting it set?"

Julian scowled as he sat on the examination table, with an ice pack to his shoulder. "All right."

"I don't understand what's gotten into you, young man, you could have saved yourself a trip here and an x-ray - they don't come cheap - if you had just asked Mr. Foley to -" Hank said, but was interrupted by Julian.

"I said, all right! Look, Professor McCoy? Thanks a lot for convincing Mr. Summers I was just cranky from getting hurt and talking him out of another detention. I appreciate it. I really do. But spare me the 'Oh, let's all be friends and get along with each other because we're fellow mutants' lecture."

Hank's cat-like eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained calm. "Rest assured, I am aware that you get most of those from Miss Munroe already. Rather, I was going to remind you that x-rays can be expensive."

Defeated, Julian sighed. "Okay," he said simply. Hank took his cue and picked up the infirmary's phone to send for Josh.

Josh arrived, having changed from his X-suit to his normal clothes. Julian looked battered next to the golden mutant, sitting on the examination table in his torn X-suit. "Okay, Julian. This won't even take long." He placed a hand on Julian's shoulder, and assured him, "See? Totally meaningless contact."

Julian groaned and lowered his head. "Please stop talking." Suddenly he felt the warmth of Josh's healing touch flowing through his shoulder, and despite himself, was surprised by how quickly it all happened. Even the other cuts and scrapes he suffered during that morning's Danger Room session were wiped away from his body.

Julian promptly hopped down from the table and nodded a goodbye to Hank. "Later, Midas," he said to Josh, exiting the infirmary as fast as he could.

"I don't turn things to gold, I'm just - oh, you know what, forget it!" Josh called out down the hallway. Then, as an afterthought, "You're welcome!" he added angrily.

Crystal... the more I use this icon, the more it makes me laugh. And the other day I just burst out laughing to myself (one of my friends was like, "What?!") because I randomly thought about how you said "Josh wants to comfort Julian. WITH HIS GOLDMEMBER."

...POSSIBLY the wrongest thing I have EVER heard. BUT SO HILARIOUS.
