Rip the earth in two with your mind, seal the urge which ensues with brass wires -- I never meant you any harm, but your tears feel warm as they fall on my forearm. But close my eyes for a while, force from the world a patient smile... How can you say that your truth is better than ours? Shoulder to shoulder, now brother, we carry no arms! The blind man sleeps in the doorway, his home -- if only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy, I could have won! But I gave you all! Close my eyes for a while, force from the world a patient smile... But I gave you all! But you rip it from my hands and you swear it's all gone! And you rip out all I have just to say that you've won! Well now you've won!

Charles.

How've you been faring?

[frostofdiamonds-deactivated2012]

I am rage and I am despair.: frostofdiamonds: They were in our way, and you know it. We’ll never...

*smiles, knows she's irked him*  Oh yes, and who would have?  You?  Next time you want someone on your side, don't shoot them.  That tends to put off people.

[rage-and-despair-blog]

[Somehow, he looks ten times more angry and fifteen times more sad; he can't look Emma in the eyes for all the emotions rolling through him. Moira fired the gun, it was her fault. It had to be.]

...I didn't shoot him. The human fired the gun, and I defended myself -- it was an accident. I have to keep believing that.

Angel of mine, can I thank you? You have saved me time and time again. Angel, I must confess -- it's you that always gives me strength, and I don't know where I'd be without you!

[frostofdiamonds-deactivated2012]

They were in our way, and you know it.  We'll never have a world with no humans with the X-Men still in it.  *said very flippantly*

Oh, how adorable.  The little lab-rats *the word was picked from his head* have a thing for each-other.  Cute. *rolls eyes*

[rage-and-despair-blog]

I refuse to believe that we couldn't sway them. There's no reason mutant blood has to be shed alongside human blood. We're better than that.

[He growls softly, as if still trying to maintain some degree of goodwill in spite of himself. Charles is, was, and always will be one of his only weak spots, and he detests when people speak lowly of him. Still, he can't dignify Emma with a response, and remains silent, hands balled into tense fists at his sides.]

[frostofdiamonds-deactivated2012]

Of course it is, I can be rather…persuasive. I tend to do better with people than you.

SHEILD, if and when it comes for me, will have a much harder time with me, after all, I’m not exactly easy to deal with, am I? *slight smile*

[rage-and-despair-blog]

No, you just tend to do better with...

Rabble-rousing, are we?  Interesting choice of words, considering it was you who brought us all together.  Why on Earth would the fearless Magneto go willingly into a trap?

[rage-and-despair-blog]

I brought us together to eradicate mankind, and you all seemed far too keen on eliminating the X-Men along with it. 

And I went because they used Charles as bait. I thought SHIELD was my friend back then. [It is an uncomfortable confession, and he can't look the woman in the eye as he makes it.]

Is that you, Charles?

I’ve missed you.

I’m glad to see I didn’t hurt you too badly before.

…you look good.

…what brings you here?

[ask-charles-x]

Ah, hello Erik. 

Business. Getting the school up and running. How have you been since we…spoke last?

[rage-and-despair-blog]

Just trying to survive, at this point.

I'm sure you're quite busy, old friend.

I was born of the womb of a poisonous man,  beaten and broken and chased from the land; but I rise up above it, high up above it and see!  I was hung from a tree made of tongues of the weak, the branches, the bones of the liars and thieves --  rise up above it, high up above it and see! Pray to your god, open your heart -- whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark! Cover your eyes, the devil's inside!  One night of the hunter -- one day I will get revenge! One night to remember: one day it'll all just end!  Blessed by a bitch from a bastard seed,  pleasure to meet you but better to bleed.  Rise, I will rise, I will rise!  Skinned her alive, ripped her apart, scattered her ashes, buried her heart! Rise up above it, high up above it and see!  Pray to your god, open your heart --  whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark! Cover your eyes, the devil's inside!  One night of the hunter -- one day I will get revenge!  One night to remember: one day it'll all just end!  Honest to God I'll break your heart,  tear you to pieces and rip you apart!  One night of the hunter -- one day I will get revenge!  One night to remember: one day it'll all just end!

[rage-and-despair-blog]

No, you just tend to do better with rabble-rousing mutants than I do. [He returns the small smile, his laced with a bit of bitterness and slight disgust. His old team lost sight of his dream fast; they wanted to eradicate all humans and any mutant who dared to aid them, and this was not the future he saw for mutantkind.]

...and as for SHIELD, they lured me into a trap, used leverage to get me to come willingly. It was hardly a simple thing to do, and if you think I went down easy, then Emma, you would be wrong.

Keeping my head down, flying under the radar. I don’t need SHIELD on my tail, even though I doubt I will ever truly shake them.

What about you?

[frostofdiamonds-deactivated2012]

Leading where you failed.  You’ll be surprised, I’m quite excellent at it.  I suppose it’s just a part of who I am.  SHEILD hasn’t come knocking on my door, yet.  You never can tell, can you?

[rage-and-despair-blog]

That's not surprising at all, actually. I hope everything there is-...up to your expectations.

And no, no you can't. SHIELD certainly is a pesky bunch.

What can I say? It’s a gift.

I’m good. And you?

I haven't been doing too poorly, though I haven't had a lot of privacy as of late.

Have you seen your brother around?
