dear_mun | mun has been fumbling around the bent bullet website a bit....

I know it's not PC for me to say my Grandpa's a badass, but I'm pretty sure that any mutant who says that they've never thought that Magneto was cool as hell at any point in their life is lying through their teeth. You know who I hoped would win out when I was locked up in juvy? Magneto. And this was before I even knew I was related to him! I just thought, hey. If anyone could bust me out of here it would be Magneto. That's what happens when normal people treat you like dirt all your life because you're different; you start to idolize the ones who are willing to fight dirty for your rights.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a hero now. I need to keep my sights on Professor X or Captain America, people fighting for peace and justice. And I do respect them, like a lot, but it's not the same you know?

And now I'm really really really hoping that finding a president killer badass doesn't get me kicked off the team.

If anyone asks, this was all you, mun. You're the one looking through this whole bent bullet page and getting a raging history boner, I'm just along for the ride.

I've never thought he was cool, but we've never spoken.

How's it different? Because he's your Granpa?

You can't honestly tell me you never sat down when you were a kid and thought for even a second that Magneto was totally right. I mean he's not, but still.

And him being my grandpa's got nothing to do with it. I didn't even know he was until like a year ago.

I didn't know who he was really. I was raised in a virtual world.

Then how's he different from the Professor? I mean, aside from ... you know. Um. [Logan would be so mad at him for even asking that question.]

You're totally getting the boot.

[ Yeah, he's kidding. ]

[ don't even joke about that, man, this team means the world to him. ]

You know I'm right though. He might be an awful terrorist but he's still a badass.

[ Tommy's part of the team 4 life ]

Well.. yeah. He's always changing sides anyway,

I've met, like, four cool Magnetos. All of them definitely badass. So, um, if that helps. The multiverse is kinda wacky, but at least there's still causality and stuff.

You're telling me. Kind of stuck in multiverse limbo in my own timeline right now, so I've got nothing better to do than hang around here.

Sounds like a pain in the butt. I've been dropped in so many weird worlds at this point that sounds kind of restful.

[Don't mind him, he's just going to sit here and chuckle.]

Metalhead has his moments.

[ holy shit it's Sabertooth. A little terrified, but hey, he's pretty good at keeping his cool for an overactive teenager. ]

You know that Metalhead actually means something, right? Unless you're going to tell me that Magneto listens to death metal, because then he's just going to be the coolest grand-dad ever.

[A grunt and he tucks a cigar in his teeth.]

Ain't got nothin' to do with his music tastes.

[Yes, smell like fear. He likes it.]

Just be careful who you say that around.

[ But if he had been able to, if he had known, just he would have rescued Tommy. ]

[ yeah well, what's done is done, and maybe he wouldn't have ended up in Juvy at all if he knew who he was in the first place. No one can change the past, at least not without serious consequences. ]

Yeah, I'm getting that. Doesn't make any of it any less true though.

[ Doesn't mean he has to like what has happened. ]

I'm glad to hear that. History is full of men like me, Charles has a dream, and it's a good one. But his optimism will get all of us killed, without someone else willing to take more extreme methods.

Haven't you heard? It wasn't me.

No offense gramps, but just because I respect you doesn't mean I'm slow enough to trust you.

What are you slow enough to do, exactly?

A ranging history boner?

[ Because that's clearly the part to focus on here.]

You know that look Deadpool gets around Cable, in every single photo I've ever seen of them? Yeah, like that, but for history.

Hmmmmm. [Lockheed has never been totally certain about Magneto. He and Kitty clearly share a heritage - her great aunt was in the camps - but the ideologies Magneto has demonstrated is not something Lockheed is always comfortable with. He's improved since joining the X-Men but... well, like Emma Frost and even now Scott, Lockheed treads about them with caution. It's probably fair to say there's no black and white with any group of mutants.]

Yeh gramps is old, 'hat's fer certain.

I'm just hoping that witchy magic genetics means that I'll look that good when I'm his age.

'eah, your gramps is 'ike ninety somethin'. Honestly Heed don't know if I 'rust 'im or not. Like yeh mom 'hough. 'eality warpin' aside.

Considering he is your grandfather, I imagine it's fine for you to call him Erik.

Oh - and thank you.

Uh, you're welcome I guess. And it's not like I know him well enough to be on a first name basis or anything.
