F2F ▸ Finn + Ben
“You know how this movie ends?” || @poltcrgcist
Finn stood before Ben, hands raised still showing the boy he meant no harm. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go, Finn thought to himself. This event was supposed to be an opportunity to give back to the city, not to cause further destruction. Finally, with the glass of the luxury box seats blown out, the nose bleed section of the stadium crumbled, and the home field goal post laying across the fifty yard line in defeat, he was finally realizing the magnitude of Ben’s powers. Maybe it was Finn’s own bullheaded stubbornness, but he refused to believe this kid was pure evil. This was the same young man happy to throw around a football and meet his dog. Ben was destructive, yes, but through Finn's work with various mutants rights organizations he’d seen that with the proper training, those powers could be harnessed for more than destruction.
“It doesn’t have to end like this, Ben,” he assured taking a few steps forward. Finn knew the Chicago PD and the SWAT team would be barging onto the field at any moment. They wouldn’t last long against Ben, but with one clean shot it could mean the worst for him. Finn didn’t want to see anymore lives lost, and that included Ben’s. “I forgive you, man. I forgive you for keeping Bo. I know you just wanted somebody to hang out with. It’s okay,” he assured hoping the mention of the dog would calm him down some.
