As the door shut behind Wanda's figure and the sounds of the water finally turned on, Lorna exhaled a breath, and leaned back against the shut door that led to her personal bathroom. There were many benefits of having the old master suite in the Mansion. One was having her own private bathroom. She turned her gaze toward Bobby, and approached slowly, her steps measured as she shuffled back over to the icy mutant.

"Hey, please don't take it the wrong way.. how I phrased things between us. You're my boyfriend, and all.. but.." She bit her lower lip. "Josh just left Wanda. She had her soul pulled from her body and shoved into a doll and Josh felt it all. After when everything was fixed... He couldn't look at her. He left her. And she's heart broken. I figured rubbing it in her face that we're dating wasn't a good idea." She whispered, her voice soft as she came to a stop in front of him.

Iceman has posed:
    Bobby's eyes slowly widen in a sense or shock, horror and sympathy. "Oh. Oh my god." Bobby whispers as he covers his mouth and has to look away-or he wants to look away at the thought of something so... impossible and horrible. No, Bobby stays strong for himself and for Lorna, he lowers his hands from his face and instead he takes that last step forward to hug Lorna, "That's awful." Bobby whispers into Lorna's ear, and after chewing on the inside of his cheek for a moment, he nods curtly.

    "Okay, we're going to do what we can to help Wanda. Operation: Princess Protect is now in effect." Bobby says pulling away to hold Lorna at half an arms length and stare into her eyes. "I think maybe us going out and getting food, at least in the kitchen might be the best way to help..." Bobby obviously loves his food.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna exhaled a breath she'd been holding at Bobby's concerned reaction, and she looped her arms around him, simply holding onto him for a while as she rocked her weight gently back onto her heels and used his frame to stabilize her own. "Yeah.. She's not doing well." She whispered, keeping over voice low and between them. "She said Josh couldn't even look at her. If I ever see that man again, I swear to god, he'll //wish// he could die. Of course, all I have to do is tell Pietro and that'll do the same thing.. Unless Josh is //really// good at hiding." She pursed her lips and drew back as Bobby did.

"It gets worse.. Bobby, it was her foster father.. the man that raised her that did it. He apparently snapped and lost his mind. Used some magic thing to try to trap Wanda, but the Avengers saved her in time..." She exhaled a rough breath, reaching up to comb her fingers through her hair.

"Wanda hasn't eaten or cleaned up I think since it happened. She definitely needs food." She continued, flashing Bobby a smile.

Iceman has posed:
    "Okay then, I'll be gone when she gets back out of the bathroom, cause, I mean, who could see this and not think 'boyfriend' hers or otherwise." Bobby says, getting his jokes out now while they're safe. Yes he's still wearing a hoodie and flip flops. A real dad-chic look.

    "You do your ... are you the older or younger sister?" Bobby asks out of no where with a squint towards Lorna as if he can tell by the lines on her face.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna laughed softly, her tone hushed and restrained by worry and concern for Wanda as she flashe Bobby a small smile. She eyed Bobby up and down, "At the very least Dad-bod." She teased, winking at him as she spoke. Still there was a look of thoughtfulness at Bobby's question. Sher tapped her chin and she hesitated, before glancing back to Bobby.

"The twins are older than me... It's just a bit messy how things pan out. I'm not even sure how they work, but they do? I mean.. my father was married to their mother a long, long time ago. Like before he was Magneto type old. I don't really know when, as Dad hasn't said anything. But they didn't know they were related to him when they worked for him in the Brotherhood." She bit her lower lip.

"And I know she and Pietro were raised in Transia. But I don't have a whole lot of details other than they had ties to the Roma population there too." She raised a hand to comb through her hair.

Iceman has posed:
    "That's ... you're family has some serious history and plot holes." Bobby says still in hushed tones, even though the sound of the water probably drowns out anything said in the bedroom, Bobby is still trying to be polite. "But like I was saying, Do your younger sister thing and help her find a way to relax and free herself from worries. I'll go down and find a tub of cookie dough or ice cream or something to bring up or make something if you both want to come down and have a real dinner." Bobby smiles as he moves his hand to find Lorna's and he holds onto it as if the idea of having Lorna taken from him is still crawling around in his worried head.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna flashed Bobby a smile, and she nodded at his comment about how messed up her family was. "You haven't even gotten to the part where my mother was a married woman and chose to have an affair with Magneto of all people." She drawled, lofting an eyebrow upward as he took her hand. She squeezed it back gently. Her other hand reached out to carefully trace against the outline of his jaw.

"Hey, thank you, for putting up with all of this. I appreciate it. And magical shenanigans with my half sister were decidedly not in the whole signing up to date me package."

Iceman has posed:
    "No, but there was a huge asterisk on the paper. With a teeny tiny addendum at the bottom." Bobby says with a soft wink before he squeezes her hand once more and pulls away as he turns towards the door to go help out and be the best damn boyfriend in the world. OR at least the building.
