every time i reply to this one (1) single thread, i cry bc i love it so much 😭
magnetokinesie:
A frustrated breath leaves her lips, Reeva won’t let her go, and she can’t bring herself to fall to the Mutant Underground at the same time. There’s so much at risk now, so much more than she had ever imagined. And yet here Marcos is, still standing beside her.
“ I never meant for this to happen. I just wanted the world to be better for her. ” Her voice is strained for a moment as the emotion bubbles up. How many times had she been promised the Mutant Homeland? And now it was going up in flames, because she knew she wanted to be with Marcos, knew she didn’t want to keep Dawn from him. But that was never meant to be so simple, was it?
Sighing, she presses a kiss to his lips. “ We have time. We’ll figure this out. ” A weak smile; Marcos deserves more than what she can give him with this horrendous whole mess. But she can’t stop now: she’s too far in to. It doesn’t mean though that she doesn’t want to enjoy this moment with her family.
“ Do you love her? ”
“ i know, ” he says, voice no louder than a whisper. “ i want better for her too. ” he brings a hand up to cup her cheek, and he leans in gently to meet her lips in a kiss. when he pulls back, he looks at lorna, gaze soft.
he knows she only wanted better for dawn. she wanted the world to be SAFE for her. he wants that too, he always has. it’s just that their methods of going about it had been different. but now, it seems they’re beginning to see things from each other’s point of view.
now, he sees the need for a bit of force, and she sees the need for a bit of restraint. they’re meeting halfway, & if they can do it, maybe the others can too. at least, he hopes they can. he’s confident that he can at least get the underground to begin to see things his way now, but the circle? he’s not so certain.
reeva & the frosts seem so set on violence & destruction, he just can’t see them changing their minds. if he & lorna are going to try & salvage the situation, they’re going to have to move quickly.
but in this moment, here & now, they can take a breath. they can have this small minute to themselves, where the world is only THEM & dawn.
gaze turning back toward the infant, marcos’s gaze softens even more. “ of course i do, ” he says. “ how could i not? she’s perfect, & beautiful, just like you. ” he looks back at lorna & presses another kiss to her lips. “ we made a person. a tiny person. ” he laughs quietly under his breath & shuts his eyes. “ i love you both so much. ”
yeah, you got to be kidding me. lorna, what is this? i need your help. so you carjack me?

magnetokinesie:
no one said that being a parent would be easy, but it seems like for them it’s even harder. of course it would be though: they were mutants in a world that absolutely hated them. they knew that bringing dawn into this world was going to be something that was a task all in itself. but lorna never imagined things would be this bad; the purifiers are starting to rise up and mutant hate groups are tripling. sometimes she doesn’t know if they’ve done the right thing — but looking into dawn’s trusting eyes make her weak in the knees and she has a hard time imagining things without her.
“ i don’t think we could go between both. reeva would kill us before we even tried. ” her voice turns bitter then; less and less is she believing in reeva and her cause. does she want the mutant homeland? of course she does. but being away from marcos and having limited time with dawn? sometimes she doesn’t know if this is worth everything.
her fingers gingerly run along dawn’s cheek, taking in the very obvious representation of her and marcos’ love. it’s hard to believe that it was only a little over a year ago when they had been so far down in their love that they hadn’t thought ahead. sighing softly, she brings her eyes back up to marcos’. “ i have no problem being with the underground, but we need a stable home. ”
she can’t imagine trying to hide with dawn, running from purifiers and having dawn taken away from her. “ over everything, she has to be safe. we don’t matter so much anymore. but dawn doesn’t need to be subjected to the cruelty. ”
he’d known that even before he said it. even if john & clarice & the rest of the underground allowed it, reeva never would. if the inner circle couldn’t have them completely, neither could anyone else. & she’d never let them just leave either. the risk that they’d turn on her one day would be too great. they were stuck.
“ you can’t leave the circle, lorna, ” marcos says, voice quiet. he glances at her softly before looking to dawn. “ reeva won’t let you. she’ll kill you if you try, especially if you leave for the underground. so we can’t, but . . . i know john. we both do. he’ll let me go. he won’t be HAPPY about it, but he’ll understand eventually. i have to, for you & for dawn. ”
he exhales quietly as he runs his thumb over dawn’s tiny fingers. the sight of her softens his expression, & for a moment, nothing else matters. but the moment is fleeting --- there’s work to be done. plans to be made.
“ if you could leave the circle, we could go . . . we could go into hiding or something. change our names, change who we appear to be . . . but we’d still have each other. ”
he looks at lorna again, & he moves to lean his forehead against hers. “ but that’d require reeva to let you go, & i don’t think she will. ”

me, finally having watched the new episode of the gifted: my BABIES 😭
magnetokinesie:
when he kisses her cheek, it’s so easy for lorna to pretend that nothing’s happened. her heart still skips a beat whenever his lips are near her skin, and her fingers still tremble when he’s near. for so long she had worried that what they had was fading away, that it wasn’t just different views and the war before them. but right now, standing with him and watching him smile and easily interact with dawn? she feels her heart race and for a moment she wants to cry; it’s overwhelming in the least, and she lets out a slow breath, focuses on the way it rattles in her chest.
“ i think she’d like it. by the time she can walk and talk, she’s going to be speaking english and spanish like nobody’s business. ” a light chuckle leaves her lips, and she reaches forward into the crib, gingerly running her fingers along her forehead, pushing away a wisp of hair. dawn is all wide eyes and smiles, something that she hasn’t seen on her baby in a while. whether it’s because her father is near or because she’s finally feeling better, she’s not sure. she’ll take the small victory, though.
her heart saddens at his words; she misses the underground more than she’ll admit. but would she even be welcomed back there after what she had done? they had seen her take the plane down, and she hadn’t regretted it no matter how painful it had been. she had to do what had to be done, had to create a better world for her child, for all of them. but marcos has always been about loyalty, about his family: and if he chooses them and leaves the mutant underground behind, then he’s just losing another part of himself.
“ what if…you didn’t have to worry about that? ” her fingers reach out, gingerly touching her arm. part of her wants to go home, wants to get away from the craziness that the inner circle is becoming. letting out a slow breath, she gives him a weak smile, fear in her eyes for a change. “ they wouldn’t accept me back, marcos. not after what i’ve done. ” and then she breathes out, notices that she’s shaking, and closes her eyes. “ but…maybe we could try. they can’t be too mad at me if i come bringing a cute, gurgly baby, right? ”
she wants to meet him with a compromise — he doesn’t need to be the only one making sacrifices for his family.
marcos is still gazing down at dawn when lorna proposes another compromise. eyes lifting to meet hers, he searches her face for a moment. it wasn’t like her to joke about something so serious, so he knew just by looking at her that this was no joke. yet, he can hardly believe what she’s saying.
for months, he’d dreamed of something like this. he’d dreamed that lorna & the baby would come home to the underground. he’d dreamed that they could be the family that their daughter deserved. & now, lorna is offering just that.
it’s surreal, it’s unbelievable --- but he knows she means it.
smiling a little, his gaze moves back to the infant. he doesn’t know what to say. all he knows is that he wants what is best for dawn, & to be honest, he’s not sure that either of the options proposed today are what’s best for her. but what else can they do?
“ i’d like that, ” he says softly. “ it’s what i’ve wanted ever since you left with the inner circle. ” he gives a chuckle before shutting his eyes for a moment. “ but i don’t know what to do, lorna. we’re . . . safer in some ways with the circle, but we’re safer in others with the underground. unless there’s some secret THIRD option that’ll let us move between the two, i just --- i don’t know. none of it seems fair to DAWN. ”
now we can stop faking it. yeah, back to hating each other.
magnetokinesie:
emerald eyes soften as her hand comes up, cupping marcos’ cheek. the scratch of his beard against her hand makes her smile; it’s such a simple thing, but it reminds her of better times, of when they weren’t at each other’s throats. it’s something she wants to return to, even if she doesn’t want marcos involved with the inner circle. she’s not ashamed of him in the least —— she just doesn’t want him to be corrupted.
“ this isn’t anything like the cartel, i promise. ” her voice is soft, meant for just the two of them as she smooths her thumb along his cheekbone. his fears are a very real and justified thing; after everything that he’s been through with the cartel and his father, it’s only normal for him to be so fearful. “ i would never let it become that. if for any reason it did, we would get out. i can promise you that much. ” lorna might believe in her cause, but she won’t let any harm come to her family.
reaching up on her toes once more, she presses another kiss to his lips before pulling back. rubbing his arm gently, she turns back toward dawn’s crib. “ if you don’t sing her spanish lullabies i’m going to be disappointed, you know. ”
the assurance that they’ll leave the inner circle if things take a turn for the worse is a relief. it feels as though another weight has been lifted from his shoulders. were they to become so ruthless & uncaring as the cartel, marcos isn’t sure he would be able to stomach it. but knowing that lorna would leave the circle should it come to that, it sets him a bit more at ease.
he sneaks a kiss to lorna’s cheek before she pulls away, then he turns his attention toward dawn. gazing down into the crib, a wide smile returns to his face. he reaches down to gently stroke her cheek, and he laughs when she grips her little hands around his finger.
then his gaze turns back to lorna, & he’s beaming. “ oh, you know i will. that’s practically a given. ” he laughs softly, looking at dawn again. “ ¿ no es así, niña? ” it feels so good to smile again, to LAUGH again. it’s been so long since he’s felt this at peace. but he has his family back now, & he couldn’t be happier.
however, he’s reminded of his friends in the underground. they’re family too. the thought makes his brow furrow a little, & he glances away from dawn. exhaling, he gives a small shake of his head as he looks at lorna. “ i don’t know what i’m gonna tell them. john & clarice & the struckers. everyone. i can’t help but feel like i’m abandoning them. ”
Well, maybe, we find each other annoying.
magnetokinesie:
she’d never been over marcos and if anyone thought she had, they didn’t know her too well. suppressing her emotions was something that lorna took pride in, especially when the world was going to hell and she was trying her best to hang on. but even when she had been pregnant and with the inner circle, she had longed desperately for marcos, for the family that she had made with the mutant underground. sacrificing everything was for the betterment of them all: this cause would prove to be worth it. but even as she went into labor, lorna wanted him, wanted marcos holding her hand and telling her everything was going to be okay.
and now he’s pressed against her, his heartbeat thrumming beneath her fingertips, and no part of her wants him to be away again. every inch of her is yearning for him and his love, her own heart reacting to his. it felt as if things were okay finally, like the axis that she had been trying to right finally had leveled out. fingers gingerly curl into his shirt and her eyes soften, her teeth lightly biting into her bottom lip.
“ i want that, you know. i’ve wanted you here all along. ” it’s not like she can take back leaving and going with her own version of the brotherhood, embracing her legacy that she hadn’t known she truly had before. but it didn’t mean that she hadn’t wanted him to come with her, even though she knew they were all afraid of the monster she had become for taking down the plane.
“ dawn wants you here too. ” fond emerald eyes turn toward their daughter then, a smile slipping onto her features. the baby seems to be calm for now, no longer fussing; almost like she’s reacting to her parents finally being together and stable. then she leans her head against his chest and closes her eyes, pretends that they’re still where they’re safe and no longer picking sides. “ i’m doing this for our family. we just want to make a world where mutants are appreciated and don’t have to run. where dawn doesn’t have to run. i can’t let something happen to her, marcos. ”
despite the time & distance from one another, marcos never stopped loving lorna. maybe part of him wanted to because of all the PAIN he felt when she left, but he never did. not for one second. he hated that they were apart, that she had took dawn with her & left him alone, but he couldn’t stay angry at her for long. in fact, it wasn’t long before his anger at her turned to anger toward himself.
he should have gone with her from the start. it shouldn’t have mattered what he believed, he should have gone with her. he had vowed to always be there, to always protect her & the baby, & when he stayed behind, he broke that promise.
but now that he’s here, he won’t let go of them, not again. he won’t leave them to fend for themselves. if his joining the inner circle’s cause amounts to nothing more than protecting lorna & dawn, it will have been worth it.
“ i know, ” he says softly. “ i know that’s why you’re doing it, i just . . . it’s hard for me. it reminds me of the cartel . . . but i know it’s not the same. ” he lifts one hand to brush the hair out of lorna’s face as he gazes down at her. “ i don’t want to run. & i don’t want dawn to have to run either. we’ll make the world safe. for her. ”
