Summary
“Can I pleaseeee do your hair?”
Owen stares blankly at her for several moments. Shelby looks up at him with their best puppy-dog eyes, holding a brush in one hand and a few hair ties in the other.

Summary
"I think it suits you.”
Pyro laughs, making a subtle effort to pull his hands away, but Owen doesn’t let him have it. He’s been giving the brat far too much leeway lately, leaving the discipline up to Scott. He has to put his foot down somewhere. “I take it you’re feeling motherly today,” they say.
Owen grits his teeth. This is the problem, isn’t it? He knows how he looks, but he can’t do anything about it, not when—well. It doesn’t matter. Shelby’s little experiment has given him a new idea, though.
If he can’t get Pyro to respect him like this, maybe he can bring them down to his level.
