“First of all – she’s my half sister.  Not that it really counts for anything. Krakoa isn’t going to try Wanda. Guess everyone is just glad she didn’t decimate our population and steal our powers this time around.” Honestly, fuck her. Even if they were blood. Lorna was tired. 

“Crazy half sister.” Nathan remarked. “You know, there’s usually a great solution for people who mess with reality.”

“Yes, I have a British accent. Yes, I born and grew up in Boston. I’m going to drink this tea and you’re going to close your mouth.”

“Is the tea British too? Are you more tempted to toss it in the harbor or?”

ripleyryans​:

“Wanda was rewriting reality. I have a Reality Stone. Sure, I could have helped with Westview but I didn’t. Can’t blame a girl for self preservation, can you?”

“Big words for ‘saving your own ass’, but I guess I get it. You start showing your face too much and someone’s bound to start using it as a punching bag.”

wclvrines​:

“Considering the fact that your parents lead the X-Men, you’ll always have someone to clean up after yours.” Then again, Logan and Jean were together. Their parents were dating, more or less, and Laura hadn’t minded having Cable as a teammate. Her words weren’t meant to start conflict.

“Pretty sure your mess has been kept out of the papers too, X-23.” Nathan only said it to make his point. “The system could be better, but it’s not the worst I’ve ever seen.”

scarletwitchiing​:

“A temper tantrum? I wouldn’t exactly say that’s what it was.” More like an explosion of grief that overwhelmed her without warning. “Is your father around?”

“Better than assuming it was intentional. That would lead to more problems than it would solve.” Nathan blinked at her. “Dunno. I’m not his keeper.”

mastermnd​:

“a bit hypocritical since the x-men spent two decades hunting down every mutant who wasn’t perfect and docile. our temper tantrums got us locked up or worse.”

“That’s because your temper tantrums kill people. Horribly.” 

[cabled]

tiictac​:

“As a dad, it feels against my instincts to agree with you, but - you’re not wrong.”

“I live with a guy that tried to do the same thing but used the Phoenix force instead. I don’t have a lot of room to pass judgements.” 

[cabled]

webslng​:

“so you’re not one of the ones ready to crucify wanda? because i’m sick of this - no pun intended - witch hunt. she doesn’t deserve this.”

“Don’t get me wrong - what Wanda did wasn’t great, but we’re not exactly known for our sparkling clean record.” 

[cabled]

kidnova​:

“Yeah, but who’s having a temper tantrum enough to make a rule about it? I’d like to think those only happen once in a great while, but maybe you guys are worse off than I thought.”

Nate laughed. “We are. We really are. Just would be stupid to pick and choose, especially in Wanda’s case.” 

[cabled]

havk​:

“Just one? Or at least one? Because I’m certain some others are on their - what - fifth? I think I’ve lost count though.”

“Guess that would depend on the scale of said tantrum. I’m not even supposed to be here, you know, so why would I weigh in.” 

[cabled]

destroyrofworlds​:

“Even when that temper tantrum is taking an entire town of innocent people and your own friends hostage? And then forcing them to live out lives that aren’t theirs?”

“It’s Wanda. It’ll always be different when it’s one of ours.” 

[cabled]

“If we had a breakdown every time one of us went rogue, Krakoa wouldn’t even exist in the first place.” Nathan kicked absently at the dirt under his boot. “Everyone’s entitled to at least one temper tantrum.”

Tiny and out of reach. It was hard to say if that was more or less reassuring. There had never been a second in Lana’s life when normal had been, well, the norm but she usually didn’t care. Her powers had always been a part of her. There was no big manifestation moment when it all changed. Lana had known her world but it was constantly expanding now. Miles, the Champions, Krakoa. Maybe later she’d divulge how out of place she felt on the Island, how like a fraud she was. Right then she just shifted to prop herself up on her elbows. “Want to know a secret? Space freaks me out. Always has. It’s just so big. Plus, I don’t know how well I can explode.” Despite the divulge of information, Lana couldn’t help but smile. “Tell anyone and you’re going to lose that big, pretty head, Summers. Skilled or not.”

Nate shifted as a tweak worked in his hips, resolving to drop his love me, love me not and change positions. Now flat on his stomach next to Lana, he propped his head up with his arm and angled his body towards hers. He studied the panes of her face as the moonlight danced along it, throwing shadows across her face as the moon disappeared behind clouds. “I think you excel at exploding,” he said with a raise of his brows as he tiptoed his fingers up her arm. “Besides, maybe you just need the right company. My dad has a house on the moon, you know.” he stopped his slow ascent against her skin, his fingers hovering lightly. “It’s got a great view. Not scary in the least.” he smiled despite himself. “Secret’s safe with me. We couldn’t possibly ruin your tough girl facade.”

“Sometimes, I think it’s too green on Krakoa.”

The words were spoken more to the night sky than the body that was positioned across from her. Lana had grown up inside, and when she went out the jungle was made of concrete. All the fresh air and wide open space made her feel smaller than the city ever had. When Lana turned her head, her face was confronted with the sight of a glowing eye and familiar face. With her back on the ground and hair cushioning her head, the quiet was deafening.

“So, space, huh? The stars are pretty @#$@# cool from down here. What are they like up there? Also – don’t even attempt to get a big head because you have some fancy space job.”

The clearing they were in wasn’t large - with a thick underbrush and a mixed array of flowers and weeds that he’d been toying with in comfortable silence. They were just at the edge so Lana could recline back freely and stare into the open sky while Nate perched against a tree, his long legs outstretched before him, his calves brushing against hers. He’d been pulling the petals from something reminiscent of a daisy when Lana broke his languid thoughts and he rose his gaze up the soft curves of her body, taking his time as she spoke. Before he reached her face her words prompted him to look up at the peppered night sky and a faint smile shadowed his lips. “Oddly enough -- just the same. Tiny and out of reach.” he abandoned the flower, nothing left but the stem, and plucked another from the ground. Next to him, at least a dozen or more bare stems laid in a pile amongst the strewn petals. “The fancy space job came because of the big head, Baumgartner. It’s a skill.”

“Ah well, at least I know this body.”
