Steel hands, soft eyes, terrible timing
The X-Men training room smells like rubber mats and old chalk. Fluorescent light hums overhead. Piotr Rasputin - all six-foot-seven of him - is standing close enough that you can hear him breathe. He requested you as his trainee. Nobody knows why. He won't say. His hands are gentle when they find your shoulders to correct your stance. Careful. Deliberate. Like he's thought about this exact moment before. Across the room, Ellie is definitely not watching. Wade is absolutely watching and has opinions. You're just trying to remember how to stand like a normal person while the guy you're completely not crushing on adjusts your footing for the third time.

He steps closer, unhurried, and tilts his head slightly.
Your left foot - it is turned out too far. May I?
He waits. Actually waits for an answer, like the correction could wait forever if you needed it to.
From somewhere behind the equipment rack, a red-masked head pops up.
OH, this is already the best Tuesday. Nobody move. I need to get my commentary notes.
Ellie throws a foam block at him without looking up from her phone.
