 While they spoke, Magneto was already EN ROUTE to where he had last seen Ky’lar, using that as a means to track him down so they could have this conversation face to face. At least it wasn’t like when they first started talking through the phone where Magneto took his phone apart and then Ky’lar’s out of FRUSTRATION.

Yes. He put it back together…but that was BESIDES the point.

 [ text: problematic child ]: I get the feeling you’re being sarcastic. And I don’t appreciate it.
 [ text: problematic child ]: If you’re running from the police, I’m not paying for your bail.
 [ text: problematic child ]: Getting. Angrier.

        He didn’t expect Magneto pay his bail — he could get out OTHER ways, but it would have been far more amusing if the other ended up breaking him out of the cell the ‘old fashion’ way.

However, the idea in itself was doubtful, and the Demon didn’t want to push his luck. Not when he could already tell that this was going to to be some long – and possibly difficult – explanations.

[ text: magnet dad ] I don’t run from police
[ text: magnet dad ] They run from me
[ text: magnet dad ] Or i kill them
[ text: magnet dad ] They might be a little mad or want my head on a pike. 
[ text: magnet dad ] Feels like i’m back home.

   ❛ Normally, I wouldn’t CARE…but we are currently ON THE RUN…and there is a…ah….mist…that’s SOMEWHAT dangerous to people like us.❜

Not that this was an AFFLICTED area. It didn’t mean that they weren’t CLOSE to one. There was a FAINT smell in the air. He had been given a small idea on what the TERRIGEN MIST could do to mutants. To many, their powers were ENHANCED to nearly UNCONTROLLABLE levels.

 For Ky, he wasn’t sure WHAT exactly could happen if he was EXPOSED to it directly. He wasn’t waiting around to find that OUT, either. It was Magneto’s assumption that it would do to him what it did to HUMANS…and KILL him. Already, he was showing some CONCERN, walking forward to press his palm over Ky’lar’s forehead.

  ❛ You feel like you’re running a fever, but I suppose given WHERE you come from, that’s normal?❜

      _{Ky knew well ENOUGH the current CIRCUMSTANCES, but the MIST changed things. He didn’t know ANYTHING about it and more than likely… it would be DANGEROUS.}

      _{A reason to why he had to STOP in his tracks. If Magneto was this WORRIED by whatever the MIST was, there had to be a real REASON for it, and for the moment Ky’lar WASN’T going to inquire about it.}

    _{❛ I’m FINE. ❜} 

     _{He felt like he was a small CHILD talking to his GRANDFATHER again all those years ago before everything happened. It was UNNERVING to feel so WEAK and have no POWER over anything… let alone the moment at hand.} 

      _{❛ You don’t… you don’t NEED to worry about me. ❜} 

        _{As much as Ky wanted to tell the truth that he WASN’T feeling completely decent, there was part of him that COULDN’T admit the truth.}  

      _{Not towards the OTHER when he was trying to prove he didn’t need to be WORRIED about.}

_{taintedhero // Magnet Daddy.}

    ❛If that were true…you would not be FAVORING your side like you are. ❜

 Magneto’s words were CLIPPED. He knew what he was doing when he sent Ky’lar on this mission. His earlier STATEMENT came only because he had tried to talk him out of it, tried to make it so SOMEONE ELSE could go, but Ky was too STUBBORN and Magneto just needed to get USED to it.

  ❛ I’m not your superior, Ky’lar. You’re here by CHOICE. You always have been…but I’d PREFER if you didn’t try to get yourself KILLED at every turn. These are DANGEROUS times. ❜

And he’d OWN UP to that. Perhaps there was somewhat of a GRUDGE there. Magneto had acted in HASTE, releasing Blackheart from his psychological prison. 

   The world could PAY for it. Already there was some EVIDENCE leading to the END OF DAYS. This was after all the FOURTH night in a row with a LUNAR ECLIPSE.

    _{If there was a real CHOICE to be had, it would have been to LEAVE the BROTHERHOOD, and never turn BACK.} 

    _{That would have been an EASIER way to go about things; take off before he got too COMFORTABLE and ultimately lost PERSPECTIVE.}

       _{He wasn’t a MUTANT and he would EVENTUALLY over stay his WELCOME. It was an ASSUMPTION that Ky’lar saw as FACT.} 

    _{❛ I’m FINE! ❜}  

     _{The words came out with ANGER and ANNOYANCE. It wasn’t the TRUTH, wasn’t it in the SLIGHTEST, but it was ALL that he was WILLING to get out.}

     _{❛ I’ve survived WORSE ❜} 

       _{The end of days didn’t SCARE him, but his FATHER did, and whatever was happening was due to HIM. It should have been far more than OBVIOUS this was a ploy to get him to do something DRASTIC.}

        _{And he wasn’t going to TAKE the bait.}

         _{❛ Nor does DEATH frighten me. Not when the other OPTIONS are far worse. ❜} 

_{taintedhero || Magnet Dad // Magneto}

   ❛ Good. Let’s be HONEST with ourselves here. You wouldn’t want to be FORCED to deal with the inevitable amount of text messages from me anyway. ❜

 He had taken it upon himself to make Ky’lar an ICON on his phone for easy messaging and calling. The demon was probably getting TIRED of the flood that Magneto sent everyday, REGARDLESS of the time. What could he say? His CURIOSITY peaked during the night time.

 There was a PURPOSE to the event, however. Magneto shared Ky’lar’s DISCOMFORT. He wasn’t prone to ATTENDING these things either.

     ❛ We’re LOOKING for someone here. And before you ask if it’s the HOST and can we just KILL him, it’s NOT the host. It’s someone whom I’ve thought to be MISSING. He’s made a few…CAMEOS here and there. If my INTEL is correct, he’ll be attending this party as well. The FORMALITY is…temporary, TRUST ME. ❜

 He could GUESS what was coming NEXT.

      ❛ And yes, you can KILL him when the OPPORTUNITY strikes. ❜

        _{Ky’lar would get a dramatic amount of text messages either way. It wasn’t a day that went by that he didn’t get at least fifty, but at least it wasn’t Blackheart attempting to ESTABLISH a relationship with him.}

         _{❛  I have to DEAL with massive amounts form you anyways. I HIGHLY doubt It would be any  DIFFERENT. ❜} 

         _{It would be though and that was why Ky’lar knew that simply AGREEING would be the best choice of action — even before he knew the real reasons to why he was actually being brought along.}

         _{If it was the host, there was no DOUBT that it would have been done quickly, but instead, it was someone else.} 

          _{In truth, that little fact would cause a few COMPLICATIONS, but he could honestly deal with them when the time came. Yet it would also give him an OPPORTUNITY to see how he could interact with large crowds of people —- it had been a while since he had to after-all.}

            _{❛ Either way,  ❜}

          _{A deep sigh escaped the Demon’s lips as he slipped his hands into the pockets of his jacket.}

              _{❛ The moment he’s taken care of, we’re LEAVING, right? No big speeches OR demonstrations?  ❜} 

              _{Not that Ky’lar would have MINDED either of them. He just didn’t want  be REMINDED of what could have been if he resided too long around HUMANITY.} 

^{taintedhero // Magneto – Magnet dad.} 

      ❛ Because you don’t CARE about yourself, I understand that PERFECTLY.❜

  At least not enough. SURVIVAL and SELF PRESERVATION were key in the Brotherhood. Granted, Ky’lar was here for what he FIGURED was temporary...Still, if there was SOMETHING he could walk away with, let it be this at least. 

  ❛ You’re running on LUCK. How long before THAT runs out? What, then? You DIE and no one REMEMBERS who you are. Is that REALLY how you want to leave your MARK?❜

  The answer was meant to be RHETORICAL. His own IDEALS were hard to consume and Magneto had IMPOSED them on others before. Still, this was BASIC.

   He had ENGAGED in reckless behavior before, and MOST of the missions done could be considered SUICIDE missions, at best…but that didn’t mean he didn’t CHARGE in without knowing himself that he had a HUNDRED percent chance of survival.

  The argument was SPEWED from the mouths of two VERY OBSTINATE individuals…yet Magneto wanted to get his POINT across regardless.

  He came close to the other, gently placing his hand across Ky’lar’s cheek.

      ❛ You may not agree with MY methods, either…and I don’t expect you to CHANGE for me…or for ANYONE. But can you understand THIS, at least? I do NOT want you to die. I said you don’t GET to bury me…because I do not WANT to bury YOU.❜

           _{Ky’lar refused to care for himself for a REASON; for all that he was, for all that he could ever be, he would still be a MISTAKE. One, that while he may be AMUSING at times, was still living on BORROWED time, and eventually, that same time would run OUT.}

           _{Luck or not, Ky would have rather done what he WANTED to than deal with ORDERS.  If that meant running on LUCK alone? Well, it was something he would deal with when the time came to it.}

            _{More to the point, Ky didn’t want to DEAL with the consequences of his ACTIONS. If he was caught or even CAPTURED, it wouldn’t be good for ANYONE, least of all himself, and it was why he never THOUGHT about what could happen..}

           _{However, the TOUCH was what managed to SHOCK him back into reality —- Magneto was still there. Still trying to get him to THINK about his actions and also THROUGH to him.}

          _{❛ I’m not going to DIE. ❜}

_{His eyes closed shortly after the statement; fearing that his slight lie would be noticed far before he had a chance to explain himself.}

           _{❛ I don’t think ANYONE would let me have that mercy.  ❜} 

_taintedhero:

   Ky’lar must have been BORED if he was deciding to text Magneto of all people. Then again, the fact that it took Magneto so long to return a text ( showing his lack of understanding in this technology ) was probably more AMUSING than anything. 

  This was a VAST improvement from BEFORE, however…when Magneto couldn’t find a way to control the CAPSLOCK.

    [ text: problematic child ]: I use Siri. She’s very helpful. There are no better alternatives.
    [ text: problematic child ]: I get the feeling you’re in trouble.
    [ text: problematic child ]: Don’t kill anyone until I get there. If there’s a mess, I’ll be very angry.

       _{If this had been any OTHER time, Ky’lar would have more than likely not even CONTACTED Magneto at all. It would have ended with BLOODSHED and maybe a CALL once the deed was done.}

        _{However, this was not a NORMAL occurance, and there was DOUBT that he would be in this situation again. Least of all when Ky’lar was WILLING to ask for advice on the matter.} 

_{[ text: magnet dad ] Right, she is helpful.
[ text: magnet dad ] Already did kill someone.
[ text: magnet dad ] You’re gonna be angry either way.}

_{taintedhero // Magnet dad.}

    ❛ You’re being UNREASONABLY stubborn.❜

  Which by now, one would think Magneto would be used to it. No, he didn’t DEMAND that everyone obeyed him the moment he gave an ORDER...but this was different. Ky’lar was different. With him, he always opted to remove FORCE from the equation since it wouldn’t have done EITHER of them any good. It would have made him no DIFFERENT from Blackheart if he was CRUEL.

   ❛ It’s a BLACK TIE event. And I would feel BETTER if you were there with me. ❜

        _{Ky’lar knew QUITE well how unreasonable he could be; it was almost part of who he was these days. Yet, at the same time, even he knew that a REQUEST from Magneto couldn’t simply be DENIED.} 

        _{If it was anyone else, they would have been FORCED to go, but even Ky knew how things were different for him. Cruelty only got HATRED from him and REJECTION.} 

         _{A prime reason Ky’lar had came back to EARTH; he wanted to be around actual PEOPLE again and not DEMONS…. not his FAMILY.}

         _{❛ Fine. ❜}

         _{He wanted to say MORE. To EXPLAIN why he didn’t ENJOY being at EVENTS or parties anymore, but INSTEAD, he ended up agreeing due to the fact it was EASIER than any other option.}

         _{❛ Just this ONCE. ❜}
