seems i can never get away from you x-geeks no matter where i go
no offense

and i don't know
i'm still thinking about it
was just curious if you could still do stuff in case i do i guess

can i suggest the not getting into trouble?
doesn't matter who or what you are
though i guess doms don't always get it as bad as subs
depending

[asongwithin]

None taken.

Then I'm here, whenever you decide. (Well, unless I disappear. In that case don't ask any of the resident X-Geeks for coping mechanisms, except for Kurt.)

It wasn't really on purpose that time, but I can't say I won't end up pushing boundaries. It's kind of ingrained at this point. (...That, and the temper.)

[fireshow]

yeah
haven't really done much in the way of reaching out to any of them
we don't know each other
or know some different version
and it's not like we're friends or bat for the same team
not that i have a team anyways

but thanks
i guess

you're supposed to be one of the good guys
shouldn't go looking for trouble
that's more my style

[asongwithin]

Maybe you should give it a shot. All those lines mutants have drawn between ourselves don't mean much in a place like this.

What exactly were the X-Men in your universe, a knitting circle? (And if so I'd like to visit because I was the only one on the original team who could sew worth a damn.)

[fireshow]

oh so we can all be friends now?
be still my heart

i told you
they were a bunch of geeks
i sided more with how magneto saw things
now i don't know
not like it matters here

[asongwithin]

I seriously don't see why not.

Honestly, Erik and Charles have more in common than they like to admit. The X-Men, the Brotherhood - we mostly wanted the same things, we just always disagreed on how to go about it. I've known my share of people who've switched sides more than once. (...Erik included, actually, but I'm never around for that.)

Do you want to talk about what's changed, for you?

[fireshow]

being here for over a year and out of the whole human vs. mutant thing
not that i like humans or anything
i guess it's just not so much in my face as it was back home, you know?
here, people don't really care that you're a mutant
which is how it should be

but then
instead they care about whether or not you've got a stripe down your throat so
guess it's still the same in some regard

magneto also has a way of making you feel special when he needs you
and when he doesn't
he's not against leaving you in the dust
even if he's known you for years and someone you thought he was close to

[asongwithin]

People who have power and want to keep it at any cost, they always always find something to divide people with. Or engineer it themselves.

Erik likes to think putting the cause - or his very narrow definition of it - before everything else makes him noble. A lot of the time it just makes him cruel to the people who needed him most.

[ He didn't know Wanda and Pietro were his children, so long ago, but they were young and desperate and afraid and she's never quite forgiven him for how he used that, instead of mitigating it. ]

Are you talking about someone in particular?

mystique
she took a shot for him
got hit by "the cure"
turned her human
he just ditched her because she wasn't one of us anymore
kind of thought that was cold considering their history and all
