Tag: v;; yesterday’s world was soon undone ( 616 )
This conversation was dragging on too long and Peter was starting really wishing he understood the situation more. He’s careful of where he moves his arms, doesn’t want to cross them over his chest despite feeling like he needed to. Maybe it was nerves, anxiety of some sort, a need to protect himself if that was really possible at this point. He still had his web-slingers on, the cartridges loaded but that still didn’t change the fact that this other person had seen his face.
“Why not tell me about yourself?” Peter thinks he’s getting somewhere, if the man (or really whatever he was) was opening up about what he was exactly. “Even if you don’t think I’ll understand, I’d still like to know. You’ve seen my face, at least share a little bit of information with me. Make this worth my time, otherwise I’m going to keep pushing till I annoy you.” Peter’s grinning, amused, but it’s with a hint of playfulness that doesn’t reach his eyes.
“So you’re family is hunting you down? What for?” He’s asking, but he already knows he won’t get an answer, not something that’ll help with the situation. “Just – what is it that you’re wanting from me? To fight them? To help protect you?” That was something he could at least get behind. Killing was something he would be fine with preventing.
“And you’ve seen mine, but I don’t see the need -nor want- to hide behind a mask.” Ky could have very easily, but wasn’t ashamed of himself. For the most part, he was content with doing whatever he wanted or was even necessary with out one. If he was caught? So be it. He’d bribe his way out of custody.
“My family,” he said, folding his arms across his chest, “is complicated.” While he could have said more, Ky decided it wasn’t worth explaining the specifics of his family. Nor did he think Peter needed to know of everything – just the basics would suffice for now. “Not to mention powerful – maybe even more than you.”
“The specifics don’t matter on that little part, but what I need,” a pause, “Rather, what I want is something more than you could possibly manage to obtain.” Or maybe that was just his own thoughts on the matter. “However, to make it in simple terms for you…I need a distraction of sorts.” It wasn’t the type of request he’d usually make of anyone, but this was a time for firsts it seemed.
THERE WAS ONLY A LIMITED amount of time before the slim margin of opportunity fated. Ky knew better than most that this opening wouldn’t happen again for five years and the time window was closing much faster than anticipated.
“Just be glad I’ve chose to neglect being in my true form.” He could have very easily been in it, but doing so would have meant the risk of far more interruptions. Something he was trying to avoid in the first place. “Just give me a few more minutes – five at the most.” What he needed was truly a miracle, but he doubted one would actually happen in this case.
Still, he wasn’t one to give up as he placed his right hand on the cool ground; his left on the searing hot rock face he was standing before. It was now or never it seemed. “Or maybe it won’t even take that long. if I can open this gateway… we’ll be out of here before any sort of guardian wakes up.” Though, even Ky knew something was wrong – he couldn’t get through the barriers and he didn’t know why. He’d planned this for months; everything he threw at it should have worked and yet…maybe he wasn’t strong enough.
“Or do you have any clever ideas to speed this up, Strange.”
“ – I am creating a team, of sorts, changing this universe up a little.” Grinning she eyed the man before her “and I think you’d be prefect. Also I’m Tess, what do they call you?”
He didn’t need to be told twice; his mind was made up the moment the word ‘team’ escaped her lips. The answer – for what it was worth – would always be yes. Ky didn’t even need to think about it to know that was his final – not to mention truthful -answer. “It’s Ky’lar an’ i’m in.”
There wasn’t much he could do to defend himself there, even if he was the innocent party. Claiming culpability was his favourite past time, taking the blame upon his (sometimes bony) shoulders when such wasn’t necessary. And he wouldn’t have it any other way. “You can, huh?” Johnny makes an effort to roll his shoulders, limbering up for the fight to come. If the unnatural warming of his blood was any indication, their foes were converging fast on the house that had granted them temporary rest. “Guess we won’t have long to see if you’re tellin’ the truth or not.”
It was one thing to say he could handle himself. It was another entirely to do so. Not to say that Ky couldn’t – it just was always a fifty-fifty chance he could, but being beaten to a pulp was only half the fun. “You shouldn’t doubt me, Johnny.” Or maybe he should, Ky would have in the same position. It wouldn’t have mattered how much training he hand. Ky always was a wild card that much was always certain. No matter who he made alliances with. “I may not be the best of company, but trust me… i can deal with anything that’s coming our away.” Or die trying.
Deciding to follow through on her PROMISE, Natalia did actually show up to a designated time and place, but unsure of the LUXURY, didn’t overdress.
He didn’t SEEM like the type to go over the top on a first date.
But not any less FUN.
“I thought you might have changed your MIND. Was beginning to worry you wouldn’t SHOW UP.”
The truth of the matter was he DIDN’T want to show up, but he WENT through with it anyways. Nothing could HAPPEN if he just played his part, but at least he’d be able to say he had REAL plans for the night.
“Aww, you don’t even TRUST me to keep a PROMISE?” He couldn’t help, but roll his eyes at his own statement – especially since he wanted to AVOID coming here at all costs. Still, it wasn’t like there was any going back now. “You WOUND me.”
Natalia crouched forward in a PREDATORY stance and growled at him, threatening him to even TRY anything when she was still FURIOUS.
ENDING a relationship could’ve been on better terms for any OTHER couple in the world. But she was close to KILLING and might’ve even tried if she hadn’t known it was near IMPOSSIBLE to kill this one man.
“I HATE you!”
If this was ANY other sort of relationship, maybe he’d have ATTEMPTED to end it on decent terms. That would have been ADVISABLE and yet… this wasn’t the USUAL sort of one.
Ky HATED when he didn’t get what he wanted; a reason to why he was ATTEMPTING to keep himself from doing anything he’d REGRET. “Join the club,” he said, making his way towards the door. “EVERYONE does.”
Ky knew the words well; he’d heard it before from his family and even his so called friends. Everyone thought they knew what as right – especially when it came to Ky- and usually it caused more harm than good. He wasn’t one to trust – didn’t even enjoy having friends or allies.
No, Ky’lar enjoyed being alone, and just when he thought he could get used to being around someone – anyone – it all went down the tube. The betrayal was harsh and straight to the point. A point that was proved in their words; he wasn’t wanted. Not here, not now, and not any other time.
“No it wasn’t,” he said, hands sliding into his jacket pockets. “You just couldn’t wait to get rid of me.” Of course, whether it was true or not didn’t matter. He was pissed and whatever destruction he caused after leaving would be on Xavier’s head – Not Ky’s.
🕸 ❝ excellent, we are in AGREEMENT then. i’ll give the news to my employer, i’m sure he’ll be quite pleased that there will be no issues among us and yourself. a pleasure, certainly, for everyone. ❞
❝ of course. a MUTUAL agreement. ❞ it was one way of putting it, but even ky knew it WOULDN’T last long. he always found himself neck deep in TROUBLE. ❝ — no issues. ❞ not if he could help it at least.
“First of all I want to know how this is possible.” Fitz might not have struggled to get the words out this time, but he had to admit on the inside too that he was a little terrified.
“Due to the fact not too long ago you thought I was dead? Or maybe it’s because I am talking to you now – how many shots was it again? Fifteen.” He grinned for a moment. “I can assure you… I doubt death would take me anytime soon, but you on the other hand? We’ll have to see.” He then held out his hand towards Fitz. “It’s Ky’lar.”
❛ perhaps we do. ❜
thinking about a common point of interest was difficult for anyone. it didn’t matter their species, but as ky knew, humanity was prideful. they had to believe they were the best at everything -even if the reality of the matter was the direct opposite. it didn’t surprise him that strange didn’t want to think about it… even if his condition wasn’t in play. no one wanted to admit they could relate to anyone – let alone someone like him. something not meant for this world, but still in it all the same.
