“What do you mean, you guys?” Julian’s brows knitted together in confusion. “You – they told me you were DEAD, Charlie. That’s all I knew. They told me it went wrong and you — you died,” He swallowed, swallowing at the memory of his partner coming towards him, face sombre as he told him. “I never, EVER would have told something to hurt you. Why would you ever believe that?” Julian bit down on his bottom lip.
" You expect me to believe that weeks after I told you, I trusted you with what I am, that them finding out is just a coincidence?” Charlie scoffed, a humorless laugh slipping out pursed lips. She may have had her moments of naivety, and still does, but even this was stretching it for her. “ What did you think was going to happen when they found out? That they were going to throw me some sort of happy mutant party? Sounds like something you should’ve thought about..” The words came out harsh, blunt, after spending years believing that one of the only people that she’d trusted had betrayed her, it was hard for her to believe anything else. “ What do you expect me to believe?” she paused, looking away as each word spilled from Julian. She refused to break now, not over this. “...death would’ve been a nicer fate.” the words slipped out after a moments silence in a forced whisper, tears having now built up. She was doing everything to fight back the waterworks. Charlie refused to look weak.
