Better to be hated... [open]

[token_vengeance]

Characters: Erik Lehnsherr and YOU
Setting: Anywhere in the tower you like.
Format: Action or Prose, I'm easy.
Summary: A wandering mutant trying to sort out what's happened.
Warnings: Who knows, really. Erik's had a rough week, and showing up here and finding out his entire world's been destroyed? Is gonna put him in a bad mood.



Erik had read the note. Earth had been destroyed, and he was the lone survivor. Well, one of the lone survivors. There were other people here, clearly, but not any of the faces he wanted to see. Mystique, Azazel, Riptide, Angel, Emma.

While he didn't believe what was written in any way shape or form, the fact that his brothers and sisters were no where to be seen was troublesome. Someone, somehow, had been able to transport him here without his knowledge, under cover of darkness. It would take a powerful mutant or entity to pull that off without him even realizing it was occurring.

Whatever this place was, Erik didn't intend on staying. He had been a lab rat once before--never again.

So he wandered the corridors, the hallways, looking for information.

"Erik." Did they have to make it about mutants and humans now? Here? They were all stuck here together and as he saw it they all would do better to work together. Not let things like mutant or not get in the way.

He wasn't even trying to hide the frustration in his voice as he said his friend's name.

"Charles." Erik rolled his eyes, watching the other evenly, with an almost tired expression. Charles, despite everything, was so simplistic. "I said if we can."

Which means that he's willing to try to help the others. But of course, Charles only picked on the first part. Typical.

"There should be no 'if we can'. We should be trying to save everyone." Typical, and Erik probably expected the response from him. But he felt the need to say it anyway.

"You can't save everyone Charles. We need to save those who matter most, then go from there." Erik snorted. "Stop being idealistic. See reality for once in your life."

[groovy_mutation]

"I'm not--" His jaw sets tightly for a moment, he's trying to stay calm with Erik. Not to get overly frustrated, but it was difficult when he got like this.

"The reality is that no one here matters most or less. You are just too blind to see otherwise." And he'll be turning his wheelchair, sharp jerky motions as he turns it around. He doesn't want to argue with him over this. It's the same old same old. No way to make him see his way.

"Running away won't stop this, Charles. Just delay it. Think about that." Erik snorts, shaking his head as he takes a step backwards, turning to head down the stairs.

"If you really do believe our world has been destroyed, you might want to remember I'm all you have."

[groovy_mutation]

And that gets him to stop momentarily. It... was the truth. Erik was all he had of the world he knew, regardless of those also from Earth here. They were not of the reality he'd known before being brought here.

"It's good to see you again, my friend." Is all he'll say in return, not facing him, before he does actually head off. They could catch up later, right now he wasn't in the mood to argue with Erik. Not that he ever was.
