[Continued from here]

When Storm arrived, she would find Erik sitting at one of the outdoor tables, his back to the wall so he had a view of the street. A sunny afternoon made the sunglasses and fedora not seem suspicious to the average passerby, but he did also have the good sense not to advertise his face in public.

He looked up when she approached, gestured to the chair across from him, giving it just enough of a nudge with his power to push it out for her slightly.

"I was certain you'd change your mind."

"That's just not true, Erik."

Not to mention that no matter how different mutants could sometimes seem from the rest of humanity, the fact remained that most of them were born from entirely 'normal' parents, and in actual fact not all children with mutant parents were mutants themselves. If it was in the nature of people to hate what they could not understand, and to kill it, then one almost had to assume that mutants shared this trait.

"Enlighten me. What happens next."

She has an idea what parallels he might be seeing here, and she would be lying if she said that she doesn't see them too. She can see them all too clearly, really.

But declaring war on humanity simply doesn't seem like the way to go.

She gave him an almost incredulous look, a little stunned by how sure he was that this was the future that lay in store for them.

"What happened to you?"

Because that was one hell of a specific vision of how things were going to turn out.

She was fairly certain that the last thing Erik wanted from her was sympathy, which is why the words I am so sorry stuck in the back of her throat and went unuttered, even if the horrified look in her eyes spoke them clearly enough anyway.

It all made sense now. Everything he was doing, everything he wanted to accomplish.

She still didn't agree, but she could see it now. She could see what he saw through the lens of his own experience. She could grasp why he was so insistent that this was all going to end in systematic erasure of them all.

"I don't know."

That was the truth, and yes, sometimes she was afraid that what Erik feared really was how things were going to end.

"So what's your plan for stopping it?"

"And by finishing it you mean...?"

Just what was he after? What sort of world was it that he was trying to build?
