Eyes blinking rapidly, one green, one blue, the unstable mutant stared around him, unsure of what had just transpired. He couldn’t remember arriving, couldn’t remember why he was there or what he’d been doing. But whatever it was, he knew it couldn’t have been good. “Uh…?” Was all the Scot spoken man could utter, almost too afraid to move incase something went terribly wrong… again.
if it was up to him, maybe he shouldn’t have let his curiosity control him – should have kept it in check. more to the point, it would have saved him the trouble of dealing with questions or… in short.. other bloody people. “uh.. what?” maybe he should have said something more, but all the same… he didn’t think he needed to.
❝ look man, ❞ erik starts, head tilting at the unfamiliar man. a small frown pulling down slightly at the corners of his mouth. ❝ i don’t know what you’re selling, but ain’t buying. probably best if you move on. ❞
❝ if i did what was ‘best’ my entire life, ❞ he mused, ❝ i highly doubt i’d be here today. ❞ then again, there was every single possibly he would be here, but that was another point entirely. ❝ so, you can either listen to what i have to say, or… you can simply walk away. ❞ either way, he was going to make sure the other heard his offer, and thought it over… even if it meant a little bit of violence on the side.
ERIK HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING;so when he see’s someone who has the a b i l i t y to make a difference, but they’re choosing not to? it bothINFURIATESand confuses him at the same time. “What is it you fight for?.” His tone is c l i p p e d, judgemental perhaps.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE WASN’T IN HIS PLAY BOOK. nor did he ever think it would be. to do so meant putting a TARGET ON HIS BACK and that was the last thing he needed. not when he could ALTERNATIVELY watch the world burn from a DISTANCE. “does it matter?” a pause, “i don’t think it does.”
❛ ——— you’ve performed adequately as my new herald, but you don’t need to find me another energy source, at least for the time being. i am, for the first time in eons, s a t i s f i e d for now. ❜
he had done as instructed ( a rarity at best ) and made sure to supply the other with what they required. he wasn’t expecting any sort of praise, but instead, he assumed he would be sent out again to find something more. a reason to why he was surprised by the other’s comment ( if only for a moment ). ‘ that’s good to hear, ’ he said, leaving off most of his usual snark.
He’s still unsure of what ti make of his new companion. But the other male hasn’t given any reason for Frank to distrust at this time. And it seems as though Ky’lar speaks is language. —– ❝ Then let’s give these sons of bitches what they want. Let’s give them HELL. ❞
one way or another everyone around ky caught onto his habits. it was only a matter of time before frank did so as well. a reason to why he was taking the entire time with the male in a stride. more to the point, if he knew things would end baldy, why not enjoy himself as best as he possibly could. ❝ – and HELL is what they shall receive.❞
in his mind, it was possible to lie to anyone. it didn’t matter what abilities they had — if someone started believing a lie, it became a truth some way or another. not that it mattered excessively to him. whatever abilities she had wasn’t of interest to him. nor did he think it ever would be.
nevertheless, he still couldn’t hold back his usual snark, “my dear, if i wanted to lie to you, you’d know it.” though, he left off a majority of what he wanted to say, he still somehow hoped he would manage to get somewhat of his original point across. “on the same note, i highly doubt man applies to someone like me anymore.”
“That’s just how he is. Give it some time. You’ll learn to like it. Maybe.”
“ i doubt it.” or, rather, he doubted that he would learn to like it. he could get used to it – sure, but beyond that? not likely. “not when he acts like a -” and he cut himself off with a grunt. “… like that.”
“I’m taking some pictures for the Daily Bugle’s ‘People of the City’ project. Can I snap a few of you?”
it was times like these that ky forgot that people were so obsessed with photo’s. magazines or otherwise – they always wanted to get a view into how people lived. more importantly, how they looked, but that wasn’t uncommon. when you lived in new york, everyone commented on what you had on – it was just how things were. “— don’t really live here, but sure.” then again, he didn’t really live anywhere. he just stayed in hotels until he got bored of the one he was staying at then he went to another.
She’s stronger now, Lorna supposes she has Aurora to thank for that, and the surprise of it is starting to fade and make room for a newfound confidence that Lorna doesn’t think she’s ever felt before. It feels like flying even her feet are planted on the ground, steadying her as she concentrates and lifts the next heaviest thing that he has her doing. With nothing but silence and a bored expression, Lorna lifts up the motor that is at least three times her weight with nothing more than a flick of her wrist and letting it drop to the ground in a loud BANG. She scoffs, “I tore an airplane in half you really think some motor is a challenge for me?”
“now, a real challenge would to be to rip an entire planet apart.” simply spoken, that would have been a major challenge – one that he doubted anyone could do, but still, it would have been amusing to watch. “airplanes are good and all, but what about several objects at once?” then again, it wasn’t like ky truly cared — he would have enjoyed being in dark room more to this, but since he was here… might as well have a little amusement.
“Have you ever sacrificed something.” THANOS paused. “Or someone?” Curiosity thrived, bitterly as a MANAGED glimpse of the past gave a thrill. The TITAN quietly paced, having a clear sight on the other.
“yes, i HAVE.” that was just the START of it, but was it truly SACRIFICE or something else? he didn’t KNOW what it was – not other than knowing it was something he COULDN’T precisely put words to. “sometime’s it’s HARDER than others, but it’s WORTH it.”
