emma.

here's a friendly reminder: don't play games with a girl who can play them better. emma frost: formerly the white queen && founder of the hellions. currently the lord imperial of the hellfire club && member of the quiet council of krakoa.

“I’m stepping down as White Queen effective immediately. Any questions can be redirected to my daughters, the Cuckoos.”

kidnova​:

sam remained silent for a moment, a bit embarrassed by his outburst a minute ago. it went against every cell in his body to forgive someone like emma frost - but he couldn’t help the nagging feeling in the back of his mind that this was genuine. that she seriously meant it.

“you know people are afraid of you, right?” he chose a different approach, “ - of what you can do. is that seriously what you want? because if so, frankly - that’s sad. and i’m sorry.”

“I live in a different world than you do, Samuel.” Emma paused. “Never taken seriously, always the joke. The ugly duckling, so to speak.” She snorted at the memory. “People fear me, perhaps, but they believe in me. I am not doubted or questioned. Fear can be power. I will do whatever it takes for my people; for the children I vowed to teach. Maybe that’s sad to you, but I see a clear path and I take advantage of it.”

valvondoom​:

“Woah, lemme stop you right there—” Val interrupted the person who was speaking to her, holding a free hand out while simultaneously taking a bite from the jerky she was snacking on. “I highly doubt my parents or the Fantastic Four want anything to do with this mess.”

“I don’t appreciate being cut off.” Emma sniffed, shifting in her oversized white fur coat. “I pick a side because it’s in my best interest, less because I care about Ulysses. That, however, is not why I’m here.”

destroyrofworlds​:

“I think we’re way past hugging it out at this point. The Inhumans are pissed.”

“The Inhumans are always pissed, darling. They attempt to genocide against us then have the audacity to get upset.”

[glaciemregina]

dxstiny​:

“Seeing possible futures is not as fun as people like to think it is. Until you experience it yourself.. it is difficult to truly explain.”

“I’m sure you’re putting that to good use now that you’re on the Council. Is there anything you’d care to divulge? I don’t do well with being kept in the dark.”

[glaciemregina]

bcrtonhawk​:

“If you’re about to ask me about Tony, I have no comment.”

“You and I have no quarrel, Clint. There’s no reason to lie to a telepath.” 

[glaciemregina]

mystiicmaster​:

“..was I supposed to be listening? If you haven’t noticed, there are more important things currently keeping me occupied.”

“You’re wasting both of our time, Stephen, and mine is exceptionally valuable.”

[glaciemregina]

technocable​:

“—it’s harder to stay away from this time than I thought it would be, alright? If you could see where and when I grew up, I don’t think you’d blame me for wanting to come back.”

“Nathan! Just the time traveler I was looking for. I think it’s high time we had a conversation about my daughter, hm?” 

[glaciemregina]

melcdyguthrie​:

“If yer’ lookin for Sam or Paige, you’ve got the wrong Guthrie. Is there somethin’ I can help you with?”

“If I wanted to find a Guthrie sibling I would simply ring the bell and wait for the cows to return to the barn.”

[glaciemregina]

xsniktx​:

“There’s been a lot going on. Been busy. If you’ve got something to say, spit it out.”

“Now, now, Logan. There’s no need to take a tone with me. I’m here as a friend.”

[glaciemregina]

honeykinney​:

“No, sorry. I actually uh, missed out on the second half of the Gala. And the after party.” And the next couple days after that as the Quiet Council and the Five ultimately decided to resurrect her.

“You have my condolences, Gabrielle. I’ll even forgive you for attempting to ruin my party.”

[glaciemregina]

medusaliiths​:

Medusa tried not to let herself get too irritated by Emma’s presence, but her patience was wearing thin. Of course she wanted to put their differences aside, but it was more complicated than that. There was a lot of history. Horrible, tense history. It took time to get over. But she was going to try, for the sake of her people. “That’s obviously something that we’d be open to discussing.”

“What we’re offering to the world is too good to refuse. I’m glad the Inhumans won’t be so prideful as to refuse it.” 

[glaciemregina]

casslang​:

“You’re not tied down to anyone?” Cassie asked curiously, not even sure if Emma would indulge in the gossip. The two may have gotten off on the wrong foot, but she felt like the mutant didn’t completely hate her. She hoped so, at least.

“No good woman should anchor herself to one man.” There had been Scott, obviously, but her lover was married and their dalliances were minor. “Keep that in mind, will you?”

[glaciemregina]

bcrtonhawk​:

“I think you’re way more capable of avoiding an explosive arrow than I am.” Clint shrugged, playfully raising his eyebrows at Emma. “Can’t you telepathically see which arrows they are? Is that how that works?”

“Actually,” Emma let out a haughty laugh. “I can turn my skin to diamond. You’ll burn whilst I refuse to so much as feel the flames.”

[glaciemregina]

hardycat​:

“What could the White Queen possibly want with little ol’ me?”

“Don’t play cute. It doesn’t work.” Emma waved a hand flippantly. “Something of some interest to me has gone missing. Stolen during the Gala, you could say. I need help with its retrieval and every other Felicia Hardy I find seems to have their head up Harry Osborn’s arse.” 

[glaciemregina]

@magnetiik​

For the children. All for the bloody, goddamn children. Emma Frost was not -- and this would come to the great surprise of many -- a heartless being. She cared so much it had driven her to do terrible things. Perhaps her priorities were skewed; once Emma had one set there was very little that could be done to detour her. Had she not become the Phoenix in a misguided attempt to try and make the world better? Uncouth at times, Emma got the damn job done. That’s what infuriated her. She likely would have bought into Krakoa if they had told her the truth instead of the pretty, packaged lie that was manufactured and served to the masses. Krakoa, the gleaming testament of mutant achievement. Krakoa, the goddamn lie.

Stiletto heels tapped a stucco beat as Emma brushed past Magneto and into the room. “I don’t have time to chat, Erik.” Even with her abdication of the White Queen throne in the Hellfire Company life remained as busy as ever. “Nor do I want to. Not with you.” She had risen early that morning and donned her warpaint. White lips pulled back to reveal teeth equally as ivory, her fangs bared. “Tell me, Erik, what the hell do you want?”

[glaciemregina]

osburn​:

“you know, hanging out with me means you’ll probably see your own face plastered all over tomorrow’s tabloids. kinda just an occupational hazard at this point.”

“i think i’m plenty famous myself, darling, but you’re cute to suggest otherwise.”
