.       ky’lar’s answer is the one bobby expects, if not the one he HOPES for. he can feel himself bristle a little at the implication that bobby doesn’t know him anymore. just because some time has passed and they’ve HAD to go separate ways. not exactly easy to stay in contact when ky’s in the wind and bobby’s….well, a superhero, basically.

     ❝ just fyi, i TRIED to keep in touch. you’re the one who couldn’t be found. ❞ yeah there’s a bit of an edge to his tone. they’d been friends once, and maybe there’s still a foundation of that friendship there. they just happen to be on opposite sides. and if bobby’s gotta try to take him down, it’s definitely not personal.

❝ it didn’t have to be this way, ky. you wouldn’t be the first ‘bad guy’ hero. not like the world likes mutants anyways. ❞

       _{❝ humanity hates anything that isn’t exactly clear cut as the rest of them. ❞ not that he could blame them. humans were ultimately simple minded creatures, but they were ( for the most part ) extremely dangerous. they make mutants, demons, and enhanced individuals seem like children. though, most children couldn’t blow up buildings with their mind, or anything like that.}

         _{❝ when i left… i did so to keep you and the others safe. ❞ it wasn’t the entire truth, but maybe if he stayed… things would have turned out better. still, ky never did like rules, and it was to that reason he was wanted by half the world by now ( especially with a few of his much larger stunts ). ❝ it was easier that way than having any of my family. who decided to drag me back a month after i left, by the way, show up, and kill everyone in their sights. ❞}
