( at the very least, julian is much too exhausted to get too bitchy over the when you were still being a good little boy comment. he could bite back. could say that when quentin was busy being mostly dead, julian was telling everyone to back the hell up after m-day. that quentin may have been the bad boy of the school first, but it was julian who was left to do it when crap really hit the fan. he rolls his eyes, but otherwise leaves it be. for now. )

It's not about saying fuck the system and fighting everything. It's about fighting for what's right. Not flaking on a team. Or mutantkind. But sticking by mutants when it's our own damn people who are trying to get us all killed.

with a sigh, he pushes his hands against his knees, and pulls himself up to his feet. )

It's not easy, finding the line. I've probably fucked it up more often than I haven't.
