wise advice

"Kymera, We need to speak. Now.”

                "... Wolverine?   Is that  r e a l l y  you?"

It’s Ororo.  Of course you don’t have to call me your mother, but you don’t have to be so formal.

            “Of course.                        He’s inside with Jubilation. I’m sure they would be happy to see you again.”

                                      She walked past her mother, her panther trailing behind.                 Kymera wasn't sure entirely of what to say, so she preferred to avoid                 saying anything if she could  h e l p  it...

Death, The Book Thief

Kymera, daughter of Ororo Munroe, former member of the Future X-Men

           ”Kymera, it’s really wonderful to see you again.                          How have you been?”

           "I'm fine.            I just came to check up on Shogo—"

          [Her jaw tightens. But powerful hands            suddenly feel weak and drop to her sides.            This wasn’t easy for anyone, and her future self’s            death hung uncomfortably in the air, neither speaking            a word of it.] Jus’ assure me this…                       tell me,                              tell me I’m not the monster everyone                                             else here sees her as.

                                                                             Don't misunderstand.  I love my mom.                                                                              But we were never truly that close...
