we always see our worst selves. our most vulnerable selves. we need someone else to get close enough to tell us we’re wrong. someone we trust.

 ‘ ehh – i’m hot blooded, i warm up quickly enough. also, i’m just a nice person. super hero and all, i’d be pretty unpopular if i didn’t get the kittens from trees and what not.’ a shrug, brushing green hair off her shoulder. the flicked strands bursting into a flame to a second – drying itself instantly. ‘ i’d love hot chocolate - almost as much as starbucks. they open that late around here ? i’ve honestly never been to one not in south america – embarrassing, i know. no where near the it girl vibe i’m trying to give off. i think it might also be the hair. but don’t quote me on that.’

       “ --- i mean, aren’t we kinda all ?? that’s good, though. this world has made too many people bitter and mean --- old white men, if we’re going to go into specifics. ” emerald eyes watch the other’s actions, they widening as a grin grows on her lips. so cool. “ oh my god, was that GREEN FIRE you just made ?? that’s so cool. ” lorna has her own tricks, of course -- it just didn’t look as cool, she thinks. “ it’s new york city, it’d have to be open up late for good business. not embarrassing at all !! i’ve never been to one outside of the us, so. i know one on this block, actually. i think you’re rocking a cooler vibe than that, just saying. ”

“that sounds awesome, so hell yes. and i like relaxing, lor.” lori gave a mock pout. “also i totally don’t brood.”

         “ --- hmmm, i’ll believe it when i see it, lor !! ” lorna replies back, mockingly using the same nickname. they’re lor2, obviously. “ you kinda do. unless i’m taking a selfie. we get it, you’re a work in progress. ”

          SMART GIRL. KNOWLEDGE WAS BY FAR ONE OF the most powerful things that they could have in their arsenal, alongside the abilities they had been blessed with. erik was already impressed, but he was fully aware of the challenges that this would come with. lorna knew exactly who he was and what he did. some people couldn’t get past those things. “if only others were so inclined to be aware. yet, history merely continues to repeat itself year after year.”  that was expected. the word murderer was no bother to erik. he did what had to be done for his cause. “the school can only help you so much, lorna. their goals will never be achieved. i do what must be done. if i must play the role of the villain, so be it.”

           lorna’s glad that her nerves aren’t getting the best of her ( lie -- she’s just showing an impressive job of hiding it ). the mutant knows that she should have a BURNING HATRED for this man. he left her biological mother, he’s killed, he’s betrayed people that she’s come to trust, he’s manipulative. morally speaking, she shouldn’t be within speaking distance of him. “ --- well, not everyone is so much educated. the only reason why i’m not in college is because i’m at xavier’s, ” lorna comments, eyebrows crinkling. this is extra information that doesn’t need to be told. “ and what, you CAN ?? didn’t you and prof. xavier learn together, at the same time or something ?? no, because with mutants like you, all our chances of being heard are being ruined by your violence. fire against fire only creates an uncontrollable flame. ”

     “ hm — maybe. other then dat, I like to keep tings fresh.” he retorts, once more – though he had to admit that the back and forth was fun, she was one of the only people in his life who didn’t want to hit him over the head — but there was still time. “ Still, true. I’d rather lie with you den some other person in dis town. “ an eyebrow raise, for comic relief. “ beautiful, “ he follows her words. “ Remy been told he has a stunnin’ personality, borderline annoyin’, but that’s all stormy, not me. “

        “ --- and there ain’t anything fresher than a little bit of green, ” lorna says jokingly, the pun slipping from her mouth before she could control herself. oh well. besides, she found entertainment in getting through his loopholes. “ an interesting compliment, but i’ll take it. ” admittedly, a grin breaks on her face and her nose crinkles. “ charming, really. lucky for you, i grew up in california, and now i’m in new york. my tolerance levels are way up there. ” her temperament levels ?? questionable.

   ‘ should  you  wear  a  warning  sign  then? ‘ alex  can’t help but laugh a little; lorna always had this goofy aspect to her own sarcasm, he would know. though, the bring up about family takes away  from the prior conversation.  it’s  no  surprise  that  family’s  an  issue – — everyone had their  own  problems, but he was very sure that no one could top the problems that came with  someone who wasn’t understood; having unusual powers.  ‘  – —then shoot, dane. you know i’m not the responsible summer’s sibling right? ‘ the sarcasm is incredibly heavy. alex won’t let go of the fact scott only thinks that of him.  ‘ hey—i’m listening. ‘

         “ 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.

    “ Remy don’ stick around for dat long, we won’t ever know. “ he retorts, a sort of familiar glint of sarcasm evident in his eyes — though he noticed her ( just now, it’s unbelievable ) there was something about her that rang familiar. in the moment of thought, he masks the intrigue with his usual sarcasm, raises a brow, and smirks at her. “ where’s da fire? Ya know somethin’ ya don’t want remy t’ ask about… like we all do. “ he pauses, resisting to answer almost purposely – “ Remy likes your eyes —- they stand out. “

         “ something’s kept you around long enough, though, ” she comments absentmindedly. the words come out of her lips without warning -- though it has to be true. no one stays if there’s no reason to stay. lorna shakes her head, green strands of hair falling to frame her face as she matches his expression. “ already burning, it seems. but you don’t know me, i don’t know you -- whether or not we’re lying would be hard to tell. ” and the hues he comments on blinks at him: “ aren’t they pretty ?? i like your ... stunning personality. at least the conversation isn’t boring. ”

            THERE WAS A SMALL QUIRK OF HIS LIPS. he had been baiting his time, waiting until he actually sought her out. these situations were always delicate, especially whenever somehow knew about him and what he did. erik would stand by everything that he did, there was no question there. others, however, did disagree with him. navigating with those particular people were typically far more difficult than others. “ah. you’ve certainly done your research.” he’s not phased by it, not in the slightest. erik didn’t hide his identity for a reason. “i am not here for help on that matter. i’ve had a while to navigate what these abilities grant me. i had thought, perhaps, you would want a mentor.”

       emerald eyes flicker over him. it’s a face that she knows far too well, far too much than she’d ever like to admit. she’s seen it in newspapers, on the internet, on tv -- she can see it in her own shape of her eyes. her biological father is standing in front of her, sought her out, and lorna dane is struggling to find words. “ --- i like to know our history, so it’s not repeated. ” lorna licks at her lips, not sure why she had the need to explain herself. she stiffens in her layers of clothes, eyebrows crinkling down at him. “ i’m at the school. isn’t that enough ?? besides, i can’t ... have a murderer for a mentor. ”

         NOT UNUSUAL FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW EXACTLY who he was. even those outside the mutant community knew the name magneto. it was hardly difficult to get that name across in the matters that he dealt with. “that comes as no surprise. but, alright. lorna dane it is.” erik watches her carefully, gaze falling to the water bottle for the briefest of moments before his attention is once more turned to the conversation. “i make it my business to know the happenings within the mutant community. one of the things i have heard is that you and i share abilities.”

        her mouth opens in an action of STALLING as lorna’s mind whirls to figure out what to say next. lorna’s never thought this moment would ever come, much less he’d go up to her -- rather than she looking for him. she knows how it went with the twins; she can’t forget it. “ --- i may be a millennial, but i do read. even the old articles. ” she’s done her research -- read both sides. green hair falls to the side, she nods. good, she’s lorna dane and he knows. fingernail tips tap against her bottle as she continues to speak. “ i don’t see how my powers are any of your business -- or why you’re bringing yourself to come to me about it. i can’t help you with anything of ... our abilities. ”

        a grin appears on her lips, lorna FLIPS green strands of hair against her back. “ you know me, als !! i only live to make you proud of me, of course. i take it i impressed ya’ ?? ”

        emerald eyes gaze around the room. alex. jean. emma. scott. warren. betsy. professor. remy. kitty. rogue. back to alex. around the room. it seems that they’re stuck together -- stuck not really the right word, but it’s all she got for the situation. “ we’re in a middle of a war and all we’ve got is each other, ” she hums, those green hues looking around the room once again. “ guess we take personal issues to a whole new level, huh, summers ?? ” lorna asks, leaning up against the couch next to him. time for a plan.

             it kinda comes out of nowhere. lorna’s stressed ( as per usual, gaining two half siblings and a mutant villain father in the same 30 day time period isn’t exactly stress relieving ), and lorna’s hanging at the mansion. THAT sorta relaxes her ( she’s learned to block her mind, so that’s a plus ). “ i don’t know. maybe with some people. but someone like him ?? he’s killed people. willingly. i don’t know if a heart like that can change. or wants to change. ”
