LORNA.
“ are you buying ?? ” she quips back up at him, keeping up with the act. it’s easy, it’s nice, it comes naturally ( it always did with alexander summers ). lorna doesn’t think too much around him, she doesn’t seem to need to. everything was just right – and that definitely made it easier for her to know she was gonna tell him. everything. about her family, anyways. “ well, that’s because you’re the likable summers’ sibling, ” she says easily, before letting out a long sigh. her eyes flicker to his before returning to the sight of stars in front of her. “ — i found out my biological father is that, you know, super villain dude that goes by magneto, ” lorna starts off, mumbling and talking quick. “ AND – i have twin siblings. who are in the avengers. yeah, those ones. ” and she doesn’t think they want anything to do with her. not really.
alex smiles at her, but says nothing. her comment seems to stop him. about him being the likable summers’ sibling. IF ONLY that had been a universal thought , or even a mutual one. he narrows his eyes a moment, still looking at her. she doesn’t think he’s terrible , and that’s all he really cares about. but how ?? “ you don’t have to make me feel better - “ he replies jokingly, brushing it off. his expression softens , and he’s just ... surprised. she didn’t have to tell him anything. he’s listening. “ damn that’s ... really something isn’t it. “ is that all he can say ?? lorna’s obviously ... upset. “ those ones. i’m not judging, you know. they’re kinda overrated. “
