** ·❛ as much good as charles has done —- humanity will never accept us. ❜ the world progresses , split between fear and awe. they feared them , what they could do . . . what they looked like. visible mutations : they had more to fear than erik and charles but he wanted them to stand out , to fight back against their suppressors. why did they have to run and hide ? why did they have to pretend that everything was fine when mutants felt powerless , even with the gifts they had. bullied , experimented , booed , and called names — he’s seen it all. ·❛ what about you ? where do you stand with all this. ❜ brotherhood ? x-men ? neutral.
❝ where do i stand? are my options only those that leave my friends bereft? ❞ mouth a mangled mess of crimson lips and pearl teeth, she does not shy from him as once might at the appearance of godhood. the slits of serpentine eyes flit from the corners of his own to the age in fingers and hands. shoulders square as she draws curved claws down her cheeks, careful not to cut herself under the touch.
❝ i lead my own revolution, hand in hand with my brothers and sisters forgotten in another. i know of girls who dare not touch another for fear of killing them, of boys who fear their own anger for it stops blood cold; my sister does not leave the house for humans will not stop touching her and she is ten and no one will do anything for her! ❞ hands trembling as she swallows around her rage, hot as hellfire, damnation.
what of us who are dangerous? her heart screams, raging against the cage of bird-bone. what of us who are monsters in flesh that you all have forgotten? in your war and conflicting ideologies, you have forgotten us — your children. while we suffer and beg for godhood and forgiveness, you remember not us but your own grudges and histories.
