Alice had been in a pretty damn good mood these days. She had finally worked up the courage to tell Bradley about the fact that she was a mutant only to find out that he had two siblings with powers of their own, though they had been bought. She still wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel about that, but she had let it go to focus on the fact that this hadn't been a repeat of Rob. Things had worked out. For once.
She had been in such a good mood that she bought herself a small bouquet of flowers and was in the process of neatly arranging them on her table when the knock came. She hadn't been expecting anyone, but she opened the door with a cheerful smile.
Which immediately fell. "What's wrong?" she blurted out tactlessly (as per usual).
