❝ ——–Do you REALLY think you can GROUND me? Last i checked, i was FREE to leave at anytime, and i’m QUITE sure that statement still STANDS. ❞

_{Grounding him WOULDN’T do much, not really, but he never TOOK it well. More to the point, he was USED to getting what he WANTED, and it was RARE that he was DENIED anything…. even up to and INCLUDING his freedom.}

_{still holding her GODSLAYER she looked at the man , raising an eyebrow ❛ I know my friends and you’re not one of them . . ❜ she replied}

❛

so I’m gonna REPEAT MYSELF – who are you ? ❜

_{it was then ky’lar KNEW that his choice of WORDS wasn’t exactly the BEST way to go FORWARD . if more time was taken , maybe something BETTER could have been given , but all the same , it seemed he had to at least REVEAL something more —- even though he DOUBTED he would be known around here, ❛ that may be TRUE ———- it’s ky’lar. ❜}

_{of course he knew that this was a bad idea to TEXT him, but at the same time, it was a VALID question —- even if it wasn’t exactly the PROPER time for it.}

_{as such, a deep sigh escaped his lips as he moved to send a short text back, and he knew he would have to keep TEXTS to a minimum… hopefully.}

_{[ text; magnet dad ] who even uses siri anymore??}

[ text; magnet dad ] never mind. i’ll just sort this out myself.
^{[ text; magnet dad ] can i kill them?}

. bobby’s grin only grows, glad to provide some relief. ironically, he enjoys the warmth and the sun quite a bit, often found lounging by the pool or even on a rooftop sometimes. but the cold is his element. he shrugs. ❝ eh, everybody’s got different tastes. but if it’s COLD you want, it’s COLD you got. luckily, it gets pretty cold in the winter and nice and warm up here in the summer, so you kinda get the best of both worlds. ❞

^{❝ growing up, the most COLD i got was when we went to our old cabin near one of the ski resorts in nevada. ‘round once a year, my family, if you could even call it that, went up for ‘round two weeks for some sort of charity event. they said it was to ‘help’ people, but mainly it was LINING their pockets, and giving a small amount to some fund. ❞ not that it truly mattered too much to him, but those were his own version of the facts,}

❝ usually it was trying to stay away from everyone, but that was BEFORE things… took a turn for the worst. before things started to happen, before i was locked away, and they BURNED. ❞

_{❝ —— do you REALLY wanna TEST that theory out? ❞}

^cxpt:

“your clothes, most
likely.” it seemed like a reasonable response for such an
asinine question. this kid should’ve expected that shield would want
answers. dead bodies tended to attract far too much attention for
their liking and answers were to be expected. “if you ‘got it’
you’d understand just where you came in. they aren’t just going to
let this go because you say so.” no, steve knew they’d demand
answers and wouldn’t let up until they got them. he’d seen how they
worked and knew eventually they’d get what they wanted.

a raised eyebrow had him
wondering just what this kid was thinking. it was an interesting
thing to say, one he might’ve used once upon a time himself. “smart
thing to say but if you now anything about shield it won’t matter
what you say. you’d be doing yourself a favour by helping us out.”
steve knew he couldn’t force this kid to say anything; just like he
wouldn’t stop shield from doing their job. “if it’s going to
keep happening then help us put a stop to it before more people die.
the more people die the more the public will demand answers and then
what? what will you do then?”

he decided to ignore his instinct to shoot back an idiotic comment at the initial response. it simply wasn’t worth it to start an argument in a situation that seemed to be escalating by the moment. dead bodies were one thing and shield was inevitably another —- a reason he wanted to prevent this, but the problem was the man before him was right.

^{no matter what he did, shield would keep asking questions; they needed answers as more people would die. of course, answers ended up being what everyone wanted; human, mutant, or otherwise. they were what would be needed to put everything behind them and for clarification. a reason to why ky’lar knew that eventually, he would have to say something —- just not now,}

❝ i’ll do what i’ve always done…. take care of myself. ❞ his lips pursed into a fine line,

❝ whatever shield wants, they can get it some other way. just not from me. ❞ not anytime soon at least.

❝It’s unwise to lie to me so please,_{try NOT to do so. I’m not known for my patience..❞}

_{❝ IF I WAS LYING, there is no DOUBT in my mind you wouldn’t KNOW about it until it was FAR too late. ❞ either way, that didn’t mean he would PREVENT himself from lying. no, that simply ENCOURAGED him to twist everything to his needs just a bit MORE,}

❝ —– just a little WARNING. ❞

“more than currency?” the teenagers head cocked to the side, a mild interest in his eyes. money was all that fueled lance – after all, it was the thing that kept him alive. he wasn’t exactly the most skilled at stealing food.

“nah, only juvie and big city jail’s for the night. not great food in either.” a wry smile manged to make it’s way to lance’s lips, mildly amused by the information. “Really? Well, that’s good to know.”

^{❝ money can get you far, but eventually, the appeal of it wears off to the point that having it means nothing. ❞ then again, he could afford five star hotel’s rooms with the room below ten celsius, but that was ultimately besides the point,}

❝—- i once spent a month in a cell in a small town due to the fact there was flooding and the bridge collapsed. ❞

^{it wasn’t his best series of events nor was it his worst, but it still was a complicated matter as he let out a grunt,}

❝ —— for most cases, but then again, most food isn’t great — at least in most places. ❞

It was becoming increasingly clear that this boy was not so different from his father. The apple didn’t FALL far from the tree, Magneto thought. It was too bad, because the attitude could easily get him KILLED in the future.

But he was right, that wasn’t on Magneto, that was entirely on Ky. If it ended up killing him, what would it MATTER to Magneto in the end? In fact, it might be an AMUSING piece of news to hear later on.

The demon may not BELIEVE he needed guidance, but Magneto believed otherwise.

Magneto reached up between them to flick a droplet of BLOOD away from the side of his face. He hardly knew him, and yet he could already tell his spirit was not one to be TIED down, to be restrained. If he was caught, and the humans didn’t do everything in their power to kill him, provided he didn’t escape. Magneto had SEEN their defenses, seen what they could and would do.

And it was BETTER not to take that risk.

    ❛ —— Allow me to extend something.. Call it…a PEACE offering. As much as the notion may be detestable. ❜

Magneto turned his back on him once more and then this time, he lifted from the air, hovering a few feet above the other, preparing his DEPARTURE.

        ❛ Come with ME. I command the Brotherhood of Mutants. Perhaps the reputation SPEAKS for itself. But we could BENEFIT by having someone like you on our side. You’re FREE to leave at any TIME, of course. ❜

He was NOT trying to imply in the slightest that he was intending on taking him prisoner or against his will. This was a CHOICE. It was IMPERATIVE it stayed that way. There was a pause where Magneto weighed his next words carefully.

       ❛ —— I’d HATE to see you make the same mistakes as Mephistopheles. I think you’re SMARTER than that. Same spirit…and perhaps the same level of PRIDE…❜

Magneto looked more AMUSED than chastising, a glint playing in his eyes at his description.

    ❛ But reasonable, nonetheless. Take it into CONSIDERATION at least.❜

_{Detestable or otherwise, there were ALREADY limited options that Ky’lar had. If this had been YEARS ago, he might have STOOD a chance trying to BLEND in with the rest of HUMANITY, but that time was LONG past.}

_{To even ATTEMPT such actions would be IDIOTIC these days. He wasn’t here to ESCAPE from another realm, but rather, to ENJOY himself before being DRAGGED back.}

_{The OFFER, for all that it was WOULD be taken; not due to the fact he NEEDED help, but rather, it would more than likely ASSIST him in the near future.}

_{Of course, KNOWING that he was FREE to make his exit at ANY given time was one BENEFIT; staying confined was never something he ENJOYED and it wouldn’t CHANGE depending on where he was.}

_{Amusing as their CONVERSATION may be, there WASN’T any trust there; that would have meant that he had CONFIDENCE in the other.}

_{So far, that was YET to be seen, but things could change QUICKLY given the right set of CIRCUMSTANCES.}

_{❛ The MISTAKES that he’s made are NOT mine. ❜}

_{His words were shot back at the other with more than ENOUGH anger. It may have been unintentional, but at the same time, he wished to DISTANCE himself from Mephistopheles as much as POSSIBLE.}

_{❛ Nor, will they EVER be. ❜}

_{It didn’t mean he WOULDN’T make the EXACT same one’s, but rather, he didn’t want his own ACTIONS compared to ANYONE else —- it didn’t matter if they were RELATED to him or not.}

_{Distance was NECESSARY as ky’lar didn’t want to be JUDGED on what anyone else had done. At the same TIME he often HID behind selfish REASONS due to the fact it SUITED his needed, and usually kept him alive.}

^{Either way, he RESTRAINED himself from making any ACTIONS he would REGRET later down the road. Not that it would matter eventually; he ALWAYS ended up MESSING with the ORDER of things and NEEDING allies to help CLEAN up his MESSES.}

^{It was for that VERY reason it was in his best INTERESTS to take the OFFER and not ask QUESTIONS ( at least for the time being. ).}

❛ As for the Brotherhood, anything would be BETTER than here. ❜

^{Though, mainly, that was due to the fact that he STILL needed to get USED to earth again, and maybe it would give him a CHANCE to relax.}

^{❛ I MEAN it.❜}

. stubborn. bobby waits, brows raised in anticipation, hoping that ky’lar will at least TRY to get some practice in, or let out his frustrations. anything to keep him from seeming like some kind of half-feral CREATURE instead of a person. when he finally agrees, bobby smiles. ❝ awesome! i’ll get suited up and meet ya down there. ❞ with luck, no one else was using the simulator and they could run a program in peace.

^{ky’lar knew fully well that what he was doing would come back to BITE him one way or another. it didn’t matter how much he TRAINED or how much he FOCUSED his abilities. in his mind, once he got to that point where he actually TRIGGERED everything, there was no LIMIT to what he could, and would do to anyone around him. he just HOPED that bobby was SMART enough to know when things were getting out of CONTROL and that he would be able to shut him down WHEN the time came for it,}

❝ —- yeah, i’ll change also. would be nice to get into something a bit more… suited for this. ❞
