“ i can tell you’re upset, talk to me. ” lorna to jean
hates that it’s so obvious, not wanting the others to see just how stress the situation is making her. wants to appear strong and collected to her teammates and her students, like the others. but it’s hard, and as days go by and more and more super-humans go missing it’s becoming more difficult for her to keep it together. “ i just don’t know how much more of this i can take, truthfully. ” how much more they can take? the x-men already going through so much over the years. rests her head in her hand as she lets out a heavy sigh she didn’t know she was holding in, fingers rubbing her temples to try and sooth her migraine. “ how many more are going to go missing before there’s none of us left? ” fears the worst as answers are still unknown. “ three more gone today and i just.. ” and jean can’t finish her sentence, the guilt eating her alive even though it’s out of her control. words barely a whisper. “ i just don’t know how much longer i can hold it together before i break. ”

@viiolentends - jean & lorna
jean thankfully, thankfully had more control over her telepathy than she used to, but she’d still been thrown off by the transition to this place. and she still wasn’t sure where it was ... only that there were more people entering by the second. and the more people there were, the more crowded her head tended to become.
she’d been trying to seek out a quiet spot (what was with all this water?) when she chanced across another mutant. there was a whisper of something familiar about her, though try as she might, jean couldn’t quite place it.
“have we met?” she found herself asking. “you seem ... really familiar, but my memories are a bit of a mess, lately. you weren’t... at xavier’s, were you?”

“shit,” jean muttered, frowning as she looked around at their surroundings. the phoenix may, at times, embody fire -- but that didn’t mean jean was particularly fond of it. at least, not in this situation. “we’re gonna get out of this. don’t worry,” jean said, trying to reassure lorna as best she could, offering her a small smile. “just... need a plan of some sort, i guess. any ideas?” she asked, raising a brow.

it was not only possible but very likely that the woman turned around because she could feel him staring at her. old habits die hard, as they say, and lurking at or around his intrigue was definitely one of lucifer’s. he’s never been that much of a secret type of guy, really, in the grand scheme of it. a millenia and how many secrets had he kept? most of them were from the detective and his many brothers, each more annoying than the last.
but there was something about the woman’s green hair and the way it caught the light that made lucifer believe it was not at all fake – and what could be more interesting than that? he hadn’t come across many aliens during his time in los angeles, nor did they really come to him in HELL. but when she did finally turn, he promptly realized that she was not an alien, not to mention the fact that she had a –
“aaahhh –– BABY!” lucifer leaned back away from the tiny human in the green-haired woman’s arms, his face somewhere between horror and distaste. it’s not that he hated children, he just... didn’t particularly like them. the appeal wasn’t there – and who could blame him? after spending so long in hell there was something a bit unsettling about a child. “sorry,” he apologized, the s lingering, eyes traveling between woman and child. “is she going to have green hair as well, then?”

jean had been on genosha a hundred times before. the relationship between erik lehnsherr and the x-men was a strained one, but time had changed them all, and the world around them... didn’t. so mutants had to make do. but being on genosha now, surrounded by so many newcomers, was like seeing it for the first time – she really began to understand why it was the way it was. it was beautiful in a chaotic way, much like herself – lurking dangers hidden behind lush flora and spectacular buildings. if it weren’t for the significantly less appealing statue of magneto himself, (with varying noses, courtesy of her stubborn creativity) she might never have known that this place originated as a home base for the brotherhood. she wondered if erik knew that it was becoming so much more.
jean found lorna nearby the statue in question – green hair catching the sunshine and reflecting color and light onto her cheeks. her head was tilted downward, gazing at her daughter, dawn – and the sight of the two of them, without having to feel afraid just then, softened jean’s look, and her lips curved into a soft smile. and she loved dawn like her own. “lorna,” she greeted warmly, wrapping her arm around the other in a half-hug. “i’m relieved to see you.” she was relieved to see almost anyone, after what nightmare put them all through. her own nightmare lingered like any other dream, a constant sick feeling in her stomach and an itch in the back of her mind that she couldn’t quite shake. “i’m relieved to see you, too,” she cooed, touching dawn’s little hand and smiling down at her. dawn wrapped her fingers around jean’s, and she could’ve cried. for just a moment, the sick feeling dissipated.
jean glanced back up at her friend. she believed that lorna was one of the bravest of them. one of the strongest, habitually shot down and always standing back up, stronger and, though most wouldn’t believe it, kinder. to endure so much and not turn into a monster was a difficult thing, and every time lorna didn’t, jean could only explain it as enduring kindness. care. love. “you look tired,” she said, not unkindly, and put her other hand on lorna’s shoulder. “how are you feeling?”

her heart feels as if it’s about to burst right out of her chest. anxiety bubbles up in her gut as she looks around and quickly realizes something is off. something’s very off. she’s... where is she? she racks her brain, attempting to figure it out before she realizes as she hears a truck engine stop outside. it’s driver gets out and slams the door. he’s back. he’s drunk. “who’s junk is this?!” her foster dad yells from outside. clarice tries not to panic at the sound of his drunken rage alone. “all y’all brats get out here now!” he yells. the night is a familiar scene, one she’s seen many times in nightmares. she and lily portal out of the room and outside the house, only for lily to insist that clarice open a portal to let her back in. she barely has a minute to think and process everything before she’s standing in the living room, watching as her friend is killed. a shaky gasp escapes her lips and tears well up in her eyes.
“you did this to me, clarice.” lily says, causing clarice to turn on her heel to face her friend. “n-no, no, i tried to save us,” she sobbed. “you were a coward, clarice. you knew what he would do to me. to pete and freddie. instead of trying to do something, to help, you left. like a coward.” her foster sister spoke cruelly. clarice shakes her head, a choked sob escaping her lips as she begins to open a portal. “and you’re doing it again, clarice! taking the coward’s way out instead of facing things!” she did her best to ignore lily as she goes through the portal.
clarice sighs in relief as she walks into her shared apartment with john. she thinks things are normal, that that had been some bad dream that she’d woken up from now. an all too vivid nightmare. but then the nightmare gets worse. john is on the floor, bleeding. “john!” clarice yells, running to him, only to find that he’s dead. tears streak pale cheeks as the palms of her hands get covered in his blood. “wake up!” she cries, shaking him, despite knowing he’s already gone. she sits there for a few moments, cradling his body and crying. when she looks up again, she spots another body. marcos. “o-oh my god,” she whimpers, checking for signs of life, before she looks up and sees lorna not too far from them. “w-what happened?!” she exclaimed. “who did this, lorna? j-john... marcos... they’re dead, lorna!”

after the fight with the androids, clarice was relieved that it was finally over. she hadn’t been fighting -- no, she’d left that to more capable people, but she found that she could at least get people away from the chaos by opening her portals and allowing them to walk through and get to safety. at the end of it all, she felt exhausted. opening one last portal to her apartment building. she walked through, and nearly collapsed on the floor, but caught herself before that could happen. looking up at the person in front of her, a small smile formed. “lorna!” she exclaimed. “hey. it’s good to see you. are you guys okay?” she asked, her gaze moving to dawn.

❝ oh fuck! what the fuck?! ❞ lorna & luna!
@dusklacd
“’oh fuck’ yourself!” lorna spat, her own rage getting the better of her togetherness. she was throwing knives at a brick wall furiously – throwing them and pulling them back, green light surrounded the metal as she moved it furiously. dawn was at a daycare center, which lorna only trusted more than herself because she was feeling manic – out of control, blood boiling over in rage and frustration. she glanced over her shoulder to see who’d interrupted her tantrum and spotted long hair and a gentle face. a girl. not even really an adult. she lowered her hands and pressed her lips together in frustration, weapons clattering to the ground. “sorry,” she apologized reluctantly. “you don’t have to look so shocked, you know.” she dipped her fingers through the air, raising one of the knives from the wet pavement and twisting its blade until it was harmless. “i’m a mutant. it’s not that big of a deal.”

lorna dane approaches the red-suited MERC WITH A MOUTH with a cocky smirk on her lips and a mischievous glow in her eyes. she was an x-man sometimes, a criminal others - it varies day to day and no matter how things go she’s always THE DAUGHTER OF MAGNETO. the one god forsaken title she can’t escape no matter where she goes, so it seems, but as for who she is here remains to be seen. THUS why she sought out wade fucking wilson.
she’s heard plenty about him from colossus, a few words here and there from the professor himself who seems to know everything and everybody, big surprise there, and at the end of the day she was feeling INTRIGUED more than anything. “deadpool,” she greets, putting her hand on her hip. “word is you have a TEAM that’s like the x-men, but cooler. that TRUE?”

it wasn’t that wade was uncomfortable with living on genosha. no, he didn’t mind the island or it’s inhabitants. it was more that wade craved a life where he could feel free, and he knew an island would do just the opposite. but genosha was a safe haven for mutants, which meant that ellie would be safe there. that was all he cared about anymore, especially with the threats of sentinels. he wasn’t about to take any chances. not when it came to ellie.
so most of the week he’d spend in new york. taking whatever merc jobs he could. doing his own thing. from time to time he’d actually help people -- usually mutants -- who needed help. he wasn’t a hero, hell no, but he wasn’t completely heartless. he did what he could, and that was what mattered to him. then, eventually, he’d return to genosha to see ellie.
while on a walk with his daughter, wade sighed when she ran off from him. “ellie!” he exclaimed, running after her, but by the time he caught up to her, she had already made her way to another person. she was hunched over the stroller, looking at what wade assumed was probably a baby. “ah, shit.” he muttered to himself. “hey -- sorry about her. el, you can’t just go running off on me and you probably shouldn’t run up to random babies.” he put his hand on his daughter’s shoulder. “but uhh, hey. i’m wade. nice to meet you... polaris.”

Like father, like daughter (part 1 2) || help the petition here
You built these weapons to destroy us, why? Because you are afraid of our gifts, because we are different. Humanity has always feared that which is different. Well I’m here to tell you, to tell the world, you are right to fear us. We are the future, we are the ones who will inherit this earth. And anyone who stands in our way will suffer the same fate as these men you see before you. Today was meant to be a display of your power, instead I give you a glimpse of the devastation my race can unleash upon yours. Let this be a warning to the world. And to my mutant brothers and sisters out there, I say this...

bucky had accepted that it would be impossible for him to shed the winter soldier. he may not have been in control at the time, but james buchanan barnes and the winter soldier were one and the same. wakanda had let him believe, for a short amount of time, that maybe they didn’t have to be. without the arm that hydra had attached to him, he felt cleaner – but it was a false sort of feeling though, an empty one – because he was alone, and he could never, even without his weaponized limb, forget what he’d done, or take it back. and it was only a matter of time before the fight found him again – and it did. the new arm was a relief, but a mild one. he was still who he was. he had to become the winter soldier again… but at least this time he held the reins.
he felt himself change when he’d met lorna dane in arcana, with a damaged arm and unsaid words – the ghost of steve’s image standing before him, fading as the unfamiliar terrain of meraviglia became clear. if his arm wasn’t attached to the remaining nerves and muscles in his body, he probably wouldn’t have felt it – but the mechanics sparked, sending painful shockwaves through his body. without stark or shuri, he wasn’t sure there would be anyone on this planet who could help him without first studying first the biomechanics and then the vibranium. it was lucky that, at the end of the day, all of it was metal, and there was lorna.
bucky decided then that, even if he would always be the winter soldier, the winter soldier didn’t have to be the machine that hydra made him. he could do good. he could work every day to be the man that steve thought he was. he held on to that thought when he a asked lorna to fix his arm rather than remove it completely.
bucky sought out lorna and dawn in the park near the apartment buildings. there was a fountain and the grassy areas were surrounded by flowerbeds; at night, some of them glowed, and the ones that didn’t were sought out by light insects. he’d made the mistake of calling them fireflies once, and was abruptly corrected by a meraviglian who’d found the name to be insulting, but he never could remember what they were really called on this planet. mostly he just avoided calling them anything out loud. he was holding a package under his regular arm – a small box wrapped in colorful paper, with a poorly tied bow (he’d done his very best). inside was a very tiny pleather jacket that had taken days to find, and not one but two new children’s books, as recommended by the arcanan librarian. when he spotted them he grinned – a soft smile reserved for the people he felt comfortable and safe around. lorna was one of the few. a surprise, really – but a welcome one.
“hey,” bucky greeted raising his gloved metal hand in greeting. the locals weren’t as disturbed by his appendage as humans often were – still, it startled a number of them. but when he approached, he tugged the glove off to greet dawn. he loved the way she smiled when the vibranium caught the light. he leaned down in front of her little smiling face and held a closed fist next to her, waiting for the fist bump he promised he’d teach her before she was two. she put her little palm over his knuckles and he laughed. “we’re getting there,” he teased, and looked up at lorna.
“i’m glad i caught you guys,” bucky said, and held the box in front of him. “i’ve been wanting to get dawn a gift, since it’s been a year here and everything,” he explained, and shrugged. “it’s not much, but… turns out i’m a sucker for kids.”
