@magneticmutant sent in ❛ they made you into a weapon, and told you to find peace. ❜ (from some meme I’m too lazy to find)

Shoulders roll in a gentle shrug, mostly unconcerned by Lorna’s words. His past is something Erik made peace with years ago; while he is (and always will be) a weapon, he also has the kind of peace he would never have dreamed of finding during all those years of grief and fury.

“People are like that,” he finally responds, somewhat unhelpfully, "they never change." Gaze throws an assessing look towards the daughter he, until very recently, had been convinced was better off without him.

“People like us aren’t made for happy lives with happy endings.”

The way Ben was hanging made the morose look on Lorna's face come across as ironically cheerful as she made her dour declaration, her frown literally turned upside down in his perspective. Just the kind of abnormal face-to-face that the costumed hero lifestyle she was referring to was replete with, the very reason that normality was little more than a pipe dream for either of them.

Words of encouragement weren't exactly Ben's most practiced skill, but he gave her his best effort with a meager shrug to accompany them. "I think, when it comes to this whole gig, it's about the journey, not the destination. Going for the 'happy ending' is kinda just missing the forest for the trees, but backwards, I guess. Don't think too hard about that part."

Ben had already managed himself dozens of endings, none of them happy in the least, and was enamored now with the thought of living life as its own end instead of a means to something else. Squeezing out the tiniest bits of joy from existence where he could. "Step one to having a happy life? Let's go get some pizza." He dismounted from the streetlight he'd been clinging to while she hovered nearby him, leaping into the air and readying a webline to swing him toward the smell of pepperoni.

“If you leave me here alone, I’ll do something evil, like burning something or gluing things together.”

For someone so well-acquainted with the company of people who once proudly wore the title of "evil" mutant, Polaris's definition of the word seemed, well, laughable to Ben. Though he wasn't ruling out the idea that she was simply talking to him on a level she expected him to understand, condescending though it may be.

"I'll have you know that I fight a higher quality of villainy than that, so you've gotta at least kidnap a little girl's puppy if you're trying to get my attention." Not wanting her to elevate it any further despite his jest, he motioned with his hand for her to follow as he prepped to leap from the ledge he was perched on. "If you're itching so bad for trouble, I'm sure we can find a little. There's always action somewhere in this city." He kicked off from the building, flipping gracefully into position to swing away in the direction of the setting sun.

@magneticmutant ;; cont. from here.

"That is blasphemous, and you know it," the technopath replied around her own mouthful of cereal - just Fruity Pebbles. "You've got the sugar profiles all wrong. The marshmallows in Lucky Charms are too sweet and throw it off. Gotta do something like... Trix! Ohh, do we have any??"

#magneticmutant #this is already precious :3
