Good. Good. You took a roundabout way, my dear, but the important thing is that you're here, now. We'll accomplish great things together. I'm sure of it.

Now. What was that you said, about Raven?

I've never tried to claim I haven't made mistakes.

You say exactly that every time you move forward expecting you won't make any more.

And when have I ever expected that?

You played my game and you weren't prepared for the consequences. I at least knew from the beginning how many lives could be lost.

But, really, why so hostile, Charles? Nothing to fight over right now, and we have so much in common. Both o us abandoned by the same man. And we've shared the greatest intimacy a mutant ever can.

Which, by the way, I don't recall you asking permission in that case.

We don't have anything in common.

So it's reality you don't want to face. Why own up to facts, when you can stare down an enemy instead? How charming.

You're not exactly one to talk about revisionist history.

Tell me: what am I revising?

This idea that you'd be anything but terrible for any child put under your care.

They turned out all right, didn't they? And Raven happily joined them. What a lovely family they all make.

You're a child abusing monster with delusions of grandeur.

And yet I earned more loyalty than you did. That's gotta sting.

You're wrong.

Am I? Who's revising now?

Erik's a better man than you could ever hope to be.

So it was the right choice to abandon you wounded on a beach. Right, to slaughter all those poor, hapless humans in their ships.

He only did it because he was afraid, because of what you and the Nazis did to him as a child.

Are you making excuses for him?

No. But apparently, convincing you you're anything less than a God among men is basically a lost cause.
