Re: OUR BOYYY! <3
Ali's words manage to break apart some of that doubt, and the look on her face, but Kevin just doesn't know what to make of it. They'd be fine without him; he really feels that way. No fishing for compliments, no feeling sorry for himself -- everyone at the mansion is safer without him there. Surely they'd come to realize that in time. Surely his being gone would ease the fear they must've had when he, a dealer of death, was walking around amongst them everyday.
So for now he decides to tackle that bundle of emotions later. Convinces himself the tears brimming in Ali's eyes are all an act and Jono's just there to reinforce it. He turns businesslike once again and addresses the most pertinent matter because he does feel one thing for sure -- they know Logan's here, and Kevin knows that Ali and Jono wouldn't ever betray Logan. And right now he's a big concern. So he lets himself breach that topic first.]
I don't know how much you know, but I'll share with you that Logan's in trouble. Guys -- I don't know what your mission is here, but whatever it is, it needs to be put on hold. You have to believe me. I don't want him hurt, or - killed. [It's hard for him to say this last word. Saying it fills him with guilt. And he's filled with the horror of knowing that he has the capability of putting down the nearly unkillable Wolverine for good. All he'd need is Polaris's control of metal, and then he could reduce Logan's brain and spinal cord to dust.]
They could do it. [He settles for it putting it that way, instead of admission of the extent of his destructive powers.]
You have to help him.
Re: OUR BOYYY! <3
She wants to reach out to him again, but the tone in his voice and the way he's all but shoved her back to Jono know she shouldn't. She wants to protest, tell him that they've come to help him. Take him home. Instead she swallows, grits her teeth, looks up at Jono again, maybe inadvertently leaning back against him, taking small comfort in his enormity.]
Of course we'll help him.
Re: OUR BOYYY! <3
The Brotherhood has him captured. And has you guys completely outnumbered - if you came alone, that is. As things are I know you are alone now, so you need to lay low, got it? There's an abandoned cabin east of here. We cleaned it out, it's close enough that Caliban could detect any other mutants hiding out there. But he - you won't have to worry about him finding you. Just stay there, okay? Keep a look out if you can manage it, but goddammit - stay away from our headquarters, all right? They'll kill you.
[Kevin speaks in a detached, clipped tone. No need to give away any emotions. No need to get too friendly with them if they're just here on a mission. He wishes he could trust them, but knows he just can't take that chance - at least not yet.]
Re: OUR BOYYY! <3
[Ali can't contain herself at hearing Kevin say "our headquarters". Not after everything. She won't go through the same betrayal she did with her sister.]
Why bother hiding us from Caliban if you're one of them, Wither? Why not just waste us yourself? That's what Brotherhood mutants do, right?
Re: OUR BOYYY! <3
Yes, yes, it is what they do, which is exactly why you guys need to get out of here. Here. Take this. [He pulls out a water bottle from the pack he's carrying and tosses it to Jono.]
Not poisoned. Now get yourselves that cabin, okay? You'll either freeze or be killed by them out here.
[Not even Kevin seems to know what kind of a front to put up. First it was our headquarters, and now he's referring to the Brotherhood as them. Then again, that makes sense. Kevin's never really quite fit in anywhere anyway.
He softens his tone a little, and holds out his hands palms up as a show of peace.]
Really. Go. I don't want you guys hurt.
