( quentin's tired, and julian's tired. they're both exhausted and sick of each other's bullshit, and yet here they are. julian gets it: he was working alongside logan, meaning quire was fresh out of mentors to go to about the shit he was dealing with. logan's the guy who kidnapped quentin to begin with, isn't he? which just makes his whole x-force deal even more shady: it was logan who brought the kids off of utopia, who wanted to give them a place where they didn't have to be little soldiers, and dragged quentin along with him. it pisses julian off, that he went through all that effort to shove quentin somewhere else only to drag him into krakoan black ops. and who the fuck would arrest nature girl? what could she have done? )

It's all their fault. ( not humans, just, ) The original X-Men. They do this over and over again. Make promises, say they're looking out for our best interests, only to turn around and fuck us up even more than we already had been.

( it's then that he looks over to quentin, pulling his own leg up so he can rest his forearm against it. )

Was that bullshit necessary to keep Krakoa in one piece? Or was it pushing crap several steps too far?
