HeartString had slept in several hours. Healing a half dozen or more people usually made her worthless the next day, but she had been rolling over in bed and decided she might get up and see about something to eat.
Coming in from the girls dorms, right about the halfway point, a smell wafted past her nose. The smell was so incredible, famished as she was, that her feet took to stepping double quick.
Tracy followed the smell, the homemade smell, all the way to the kitchen where she found the blond girl who she thought might share the bathroom with her. "Wow, those smell awesome. Do you mind if I join you?" she asked with her eyes transfixed on the pan as Heather continued to cook.

Heather looked at the girl that came into the room. "Hey," she said as she recognized her from the hanger meeting. "Thank you and not at all. I was making breakfast for anyone." She smiled and returned to her concentration on her cooking. "You are HeartString right?" she asked while flipping the flapjack in the pan. She was glad someone finally came in. Hopefully to join her with breakfast. The one think Heather could do when it came to cooking, was pancakes.
She smelled the aroma again and her stomach was about to begin eating itself. Heather groaned and thought Hold on, only a couple more minutes. She waited for the pancake to finish and turn into its golden brown color. After making this one, she would make smaller silver dollar ones so they would cook faster and make more at the same time.

"Right! HeartString yeah, you can call me Tracy if you want. Want me to pour and you flip?" she asked, always willing to help out. "What's your name? I'm sorry, I know Cyclops said it last night, but there was so much that went down in that room I just don't remember. Lots of emotions for me to sort through, sorry. Plus I'm usually a wreck the day after I heal alot of people."

Heather laughed and gave Tracy the bowl of pancake mix. "Thanks," she said warmly. "And I'm Hea-" she stopped in mid sentence and thought about it. Did she want to be called Heather or Aqua? She was both people, but then again, wasn't she the same person? Heather bit her lip and thought to herself. What did she want? Did she want to be Heather McCarthy fashion designer from New York? Or Aqua, the mutant who had the ability to manipulate water? Heather smiled and then made her decision.
"I'm Aqua," she said proudly. "Nice to meet you Tracy." Aqua flipped the pancake, seeing it was finally cooked completely. She placed in on the plate above the one she just made and then looked to Tracy. "Pour small flapjacks, about the size of a CD, and make sure they don't touch each other OK?"

"I like 'em smaller too, cool. It's more fun to stack 'em up high I think." HeartString said. "So you had practice today? Was it you guys' first one?" she asked pouring two and not leaving space enough for a third she said "Rats!" and made a mental note do so next time.

Aqua looked to Tracy's work and giggled. "Its OK, happens all the time." She then watched the two pancakes begin to cook. "And yes it was our first practice. It was pretty fun too." Aqua did have fun. She was able to test her abilities and see what her limit was so far. She hoped her powers would grow as the days passed and become more powerful. It would be cool to be an X-Men once she had proven herself worthy of joining such a team.

"I remember my first practice like it was yesterday. Gawd, that was a disaster." HeartString giggled as she stepped back from the pan to let Aqua do her flipping thing. She scraped the batter down from the sides of the bowl and said "I was definitley not ready for a group thing when I was new here, that's for sure." Tracy smiled thinking how far she had come in her years here at the Xavier Institute.

Laughing while still looking at the pancake cooking, Aqua thought about the day's practice. "What was your's like?" she asked curiously. "What team were you on?" She wanted to hear what it was like for someone who was in her position. To tell her that it wasn't a difficult life to be a mutant. Aqua had decided to be a mutant, to embrace her powers. She looked to Tracy and waited for her response.

"Oh, that was like five or six years ago. I was on Storm's team, before she left for Wakanda to become a queen. You never seen anything like a first practice with lightning bolts and hail the size of softballs, wow we were all crappin in our uniforms, and me feeling everybody's fear? I was totally useless and all it was was an obstacle course. She taught me a lot I'll tell you girl." HeartString smiled inwardly at the memories of her one time team leader Storm and how wonderful her wedding was.

Aqua tilted her when Tracy spoke of her memories. "Storm?" she never heard of her. Then again she never heard of any of the teachers or mutants before she came here; except Magneto and the Brotherhood of course. She looked to the pancakes and checked to see if one side was done. They were already taking the golden brown form. Aqua flipped them over to the other side. The smell was still amazing to her.

Jumper appeared in the kitchen from out of nowhere and took a long smell of the food. "Hey who's cooking?" He grinned as he walked in and then he saw who was here. Moving to the fridge and grabbing another drink and an apple. "Hey, are you cooking Heather? It smells great!"
Then he turned ot the other older girl and smiled a bit and nodded to her. "Hello again." Turning his attention back to Heather, who he knew a bit more then the other girl."Practice was rough out there. How did your's go? We will have to pick up our meeting on the court now that your practice is done there."

Heather jumped when Jumper ran into the kitchen. "Hey," she said with a shocked smile. Calming down she looked to the pancakes. "Yeah making some flapjacks. Would you like some?" She flipped them over again and put them on the plate. She looked to Tracy, signaling her to pour the new batch of pancake mix. She thought about practice and smiled. "It went great actually, how did yours go?"

"You have to ask if I want home cooked food? PLEASE...." He grinned and nodded taking in the scent once more. He reached over and "Dialed" himself down to normal and got a couple more plates and then returned. "I didn't know you could cook. I like a girl that can cook." Winking once more.
He shrugged as she asked about his practice. "Well we went for a 45 minute run along the hiking trail. Then after that I pushed my speed up to the next level and got timed. It was over 64 times normal. So it was intense and great. What did you work on?"

As she listened to Jumper, Aqua went to the fridge to get herself a bottle of water. Being next to a stove made her feel a bit dehydrated, strangely. She laughed at his response and took a sip of her drink. "Of course I can cook. I can cook pancakes...and pancakes...and umm I think pancakes." She giggled at herself. "Such a variety don't you think?" She winked to Tracy and nodded to the chair. "Thanks for helping me, why don't you set the table and I'll finish here?" Aqua took the batch from Tracy and poured 3 more flapjacks. Her eyes widened when Jumper told her his record.
"Wow, that is great." She took another sip of her water, watching the pancakes from the corner of her eye. She then looked to Jumper and smiled when he asked what she worked on. She drew some water from her bottle with her mind, conserving her energy as much as possible. She then slowly turned it into a miniature whip and flicked it in front of his face. "Practice is great," she said with a smirk.

Jumper leaned back and blinked as the water whip snapped in front of him and splashed a bit of water on him. "WOW that was great! Looks like we are doing great. So you can make Pancakes and more pancakes huh? That works for me. Ill take a large stack when they are ready. Would you like me to help set the table?"
