For a moment, looking at this new Kevin, John's sure he's looking at himself. Somehow, in the face of this fucking lying bitch, all his worthless comrades, and Kevin... Kevin, turning into one of them, John feels weak. He feels angrier. He pulls his chin away from Mystique, jerking it to the side and taking a small step back to better level his own heartless and merciless stare at Kevin.]
Like a fucking knife in the back.
[Then he smirks, just a little. The expression is barely friendly, but it's a meaningful one. He's over it. They're friends. John pulls off his pack, throws in to the ground at Magneto's feet.]
Power nullifying tech, schematics of the renovated mansion, files. I'll tell you whatever you wanna know. Whatever this guy - [John points at Kevin.] - didn't tell you.
