❝ oh, i am! ❞ the truth of the matter was that he WASN’T hearing anything bobby said. it went in one ear and right out the other.  just as it did back when they were friends. ❝ you say that you’ve NEVER betrayed me, but here we are. ❞ no, it was ky who betrayed everyone. he started killing ( not just accidents either ) and he couldn’t – no he wouldn’t – stop himself. it wasn’t MUTANTS against humans or the BROTHERHOOD against the x-men. nor was it anything about that. it was just ky’lar AGAINST anyone who even tried to help him. so it was ky agains EVERYONE

❝ i thought you would at leave give me some DIRECTION, ❞ at best, ❝ or maybe some ADVICE, ❞ at worst, ❝ instead, you say you CAN’T stop it? ❞ by this time, ky’s hands were formed into TIGHT fists, and he ALREADY had taken several steps forward – inching ever closer to bobby.❝ they will die – they will ALL die. ❞ or ky would himself, but he didn’t think of admitting the obvious. ❝ i CAN’T back down from this!❞ a pause, his voice starting to calm down – if only slightly. ❝ it’s either the THEM or me. there can be no COMPROMISE! ❞

.       unfortunately roman’s a creature of habit and today’s bad habit includes mouthing off to someone who can snap his spine with a snap of his fingers. NOT a prize-winning moment, to be sure. his face actually pales when ky’lar grins, reminded again that he’s DONE WORSE. there’s nothing that will stop him from doing exactly that to him.

        reluctantly roman mutters a response, because this arrangement? it’s worth a shot at getting his brother off the hook. his brother, who’s always been the one fighting for BOTH of them, who’s always putting ROMAN first, who’s suffered the worst kinds of things and still keeps fighting. ❝ no. if it helps wes, i’ll do whatever it takes. ❞

          ❝ whatever it takes. ❞ he was about to say bold words, but even ky knew that everyone had their limitations. put enough pressure on someone and they can break. friendships can be destroyed and people will die. oh, it was so easy to break people, but he wasn’t about to do it to roman. not yet.

             ❝ see, that is what i like about you. loyalty – even if you know deep down you’re never getting free of our little deal. a life for a life, a servant for a.. ❞ his tone lowered ever so slightly as it darkened ❝… servant. ❞  

          for once ky was being truthful; he didn’t ask for anything. not to be born, not to have these abilities, and not to be in this situation. what he did ask for was a chance. several chances really. each time that he squandered. sometimes it was due to the fact he didn’t want to change, but most of the time it was due to the fact he didn’t see the opportunity before him. 
           either way, he didn’t feel that his own version of change was important. he wanted more – always had and while he didn’t ask for anything? he was going to ask bobby to let him go. he could have asked to help him, but he wasn’t ready for it – not yet. not anytime soon if he was being completely honest with himself.

           ❝ then we make it look real, ❞ he said, hands forming into tight fists. ❝ we make it look very really. if you lose? i walk away. ❞ ky then took a step closer. ❝ if you win? well, i expect you to do what’s necessary. ❞

     once upon a time, he could have answered with a yes truthfully, but those days were long past. ky’lar had made a choice – several choices really- and each time he went down a darker road than before. if there was a chance to turn back, he didn’t see it, and most of the time he didn’t want to take it. no, they were always going to be on opposing sides. 

image

         ❝ if it came down to it? yes, i would. ❞ though, more than likely not. even ky knew how quickly things could get out of hand. still, he missed his friend. ❝ with-out hesitation. ❞  

// @moralityblurred xxx

     ❝ i bet you WOULD like to pop my head like a pimple, you sick bastard. ❞ too late he realizes his words could be inflammatory, and give ky’lar more ideas than he needs. eyes close tightly and he sighs deeply with much the same measure of control as the demon.

❝ sorry, that was dumb. i’ll shut up. what are my orders?

❞ still, if roman expects to get away with just an apology, he’s probably in for a big surprise.

❝ oh, i’d do much more than simply that. ❞ he took a step forward, ❝ maybe i could rip apart that body of yours – piece by piece. ❞ a grin soon spread across his features. ❝ while you’re alive. ❞ it would only be fair in his mind.

❝ of course, ❞  he said, changing the subject, ❝ i have hundreds i could torture back home.  even more who would enjoy the treatment, but i have to ask…. do you really hate this agreement of ours? ❞ 

.       ky probably cares more than he lets on, or at least ONCE he had. he remembers his warnings, how his powers might go a little haywire if people weren’t careful. CLEARLY that means he doesn’t always want to destroy things…even if it’s fun sometimes. bobby’s lips purse, small worry lines forming in his brow.

     ❝ wish i could say the same. i mean, it IS nice to know you’re not like, dead, or anything, but… ❞ not like he wants to see him on the other SIDE.

❝ goes without saying i can’t let you do more of this, bud. any chance you’d come QUIETLY?

      ky NEVER had full control of his abilities; not even now. try as he might, he DIDN’T stay long enough to achieve that. no, he stayed until he got a handle on things, and the left. the WHY had came up a few times and while he WISHED that he had a true answer… the only one he could give was that he became far to COMFORTABLE there.  so, in his mind, it was SAFER if he left… for EVERYONE – especially if his FATHER started coming around.

     still, he took in a deep breath, and let out out slowly. WISHING he could explain everything was one thing, but DOING SO was another story completely. ❝ no. ❞ a simple word, but one that ky would stand by. he wouldn’t simply come quietly – not if he had the chance at least. ❝ not a chance. ❞  a pause. ❝ maybe ONCE i would have, but… if you knew anything about me these days? you’d know i can’t do that. NOT now. ❞
