_{The reality of the situation was Ky couldn’t predict what the response from Charles would be. Admitting the truth -in any situation- was dangerous, but there were specific times that it was needed. This was one of those rare times. If he didn’t at least acknowledge the situation for what it was, there was a high like likelihood that some miscommunication could potentially arise. It was to that reason he knew there was only a few possible options. Declaring he didn’t trust the other was simply tactics – so Charles would know the truth… even though Ky knew he most likely didn’t have to speak it for the other to know in some way.}

_{“If we’re being honest, I don’t think I ever can.” There was a slight possibility, but even Ky knew that it was slim. He didn’t need to trust someone like him. Not now… not when it would only make things worse. “All I want is control – nothing else.”}

“I THOUGHT THEY WOULD have come up with something a little more creative.”

_{“YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT?” eyes rolled at his own comment. “creative or otherwise, they seem to lack real creative insight. i believe we should change that, don’t you?”}

“ I choose NOT to kill. ”

“ That’s good and all in THEORY, but I chose to ELIMINATE
threats. Don’t make yourself ONE of them, Strange. ”

“I should’ve known.”

_{“And yet here we are,” Ky said, arms folding calmly across his chest. “You let down your guard, Norrin.” A pause. “You let it down and I took advantage of it. True, you might you’re safe here… around me, but at any moment I could hand you over to Mephisto.” Not that he would, but Ky still wanted to issue the threat. If only so Norrin would know exactly what he was capable of. “Do remember that.”}

there is a low and throaty chuckle that escapes mar-vell. “my friend, do not be a subspecies of beings who have a god complex. it will do little good to you.” it’s no secret the blue kree looked down upon the pink kree, nearly seeing them as abominations and too similar to humans. the kree bloodline had been tainted with interspecies mating. “but as i said before, present your claims and i may be able to assist you. no need for, all of this.” hand waves vaguely between them. mar-vell would like to take the diplomatic approach before action.

_{he was trying to do this the only way he knew would possibly bring results. simply asking would get him no where most of the time, but maybe this was one of the few times it would grant him access to what he needed. if not? well, he’d tried all ways, but simply doing what was absolutely needed. “my family is after me.” it wasn’t the entire truth – not even close to it actually, but he figured he’d start small, and work his way from there.”i can’t go back home and even if i could? i’d be put in a cell far worse than you can possibly imagine.”}

“Well of course! I do great things all the time” He chuckled, though it was definitely strained. Not that putting out fires was an incredibly stressful activity for him – in fact it was incredibly laid back comparatively.

But as he finished saving the building, he willed the ice to melt, allowing for access to the building again. Bobby turned back to the man, now able to give his full attention.

“Yeah, I’d ice you over but you’d be one cool guy.”

_{“One cool guy – is that all you’ve got?” If this was any other time, Ky wouldn’t have been poking fun with this guy – an x-man, but so far? He didn’t see any real need to resort towards anything drastic.}

_{“I would have thought something a bit more… dramatic; after-all, you put out those fires without breaking a sweat.” Maybe that wasn’t exactly the best thing to say, but then again, Bobby was made of ice – so there wasn’t much more he could say besides some pretty horrible ice-puns.}

_{“— And I while I usually would enjoy an ice-bath? I just don’t feel like it’s needed at the moment.”}

“No – I’m sorry, continue with your lie. I’m sure it was well thought out.”

_{He just stared at Tony for a few moments. To be found out this early on was problematic, but since he was? Might as well head straight for the truth or maybe not. He really didn’t know what path to chose at the moment. “There is no need now; how long did it take you to catch on? Just wondering.”}

_{Ky knew he shouldn’t have been so blunt. A few specific words at the right or even wrong time was all anyone needed to start a fight. This time, Ky wasn’t entirely sure he could finish this one, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t at least attempt it.}

_{“Do I have to say it?” Maybe he did; just to prove a point. The only problem was that Ky didn’t truly believe that it was necessary. “Or are you just that blind these days, Old Man?”}

Stephen felt the barb of that statement dig into his skin like an arrowhead. He might even have flinched a bit, but he hid it behind raising his hand to daub at the bead of blood on his nose. It was a motion that wasn’t bound to go very far, not when the other man was apparently not going to let him off the hook this time.

The route of approach, however, came as a bit of a blindside to him. It was enough to make him turn to the other in surprise, the smear of blood on his hand and undoubtedly with wide eyes. “I -” He swallowed his tongue, still not sure how to rebut that. “I don’t expect any of them to understand. Or to care. So I let them.”

_{“You deserve better than this.” Maybe that was selfish pride and a bit of vanity talking. Ky never had been or would ever be selfless. To let himself bleed for anyone – just so they could go another day ignorant of what was around them. No, he didn’t feel anyone, let alone humans needed protection when it was quite clear they wouldn’t either appreciate or even care for it.}

_{“Especially when you bleed for the protection of those,” his arms folded across his chest with a grunt, “Lessers.” It was a name Ky used for a majority of Humans and just about anyone he didn’t like. To him, it was a way to distinguish those who didn’t have much worth against those that did, and most of the time he kept his mouth shut on the matter.}

_{However, this wasn’t one of those times. He was going to attempt to voice his true thoughts on the matter. Even though he knew it would come back to bite him in the long run. “You let them walk all over you and for what? Nothing more than letting them continue their arrogance.”}
