The Gala continued and mutants, both friend and foe alike now mingled and enjoyed the party and all it had to offer. Now we go back to y/n and Emma, who were now among the other mutants who enjoyed the dance floor.
" why y/n I must say I never took you for a dancer." Emma said as y/n matched her flow and rhythm, confidently at that.
"Martial arts is often practiced like a dance so i picked it up easily enough, plus no way I would disappoint a pretty lady on the dance floor." Y/n said as he playfully dipped Emma.
"Hmhm, I've always admired your the focus you display when you set your mind to something." Emma said with a smile.
"Admire? Last I checked you viewed me as a ....what was the term? a Bloodthirsty Brat, at least my Emma did." Y/n said with a smirk.
"Oh two things can be true darling, but I've learned to see things past the surface." Emma said as y/n twirled her a bit. " but tell me...what is your goal?"
"My goal?" Y/n said wishing for to clarify what she means.
"Well Xavier believed in equality for humans and mutants, Eric as you know believes we are superior, Im as you know just like having nice things." Emma winked making y/n chuckle. " but you never struck me as someone who would blindly follow someone forever, what was your hope as an X-Men?."
Y/n thought about it for a moment then answered. "This."
"Care to elaborate?." Emma said unsatisfied with the answer.
"When I joined the X-Men I believed in the dream, I thought it was possible, thought if we just kept saving people, kept putting ourselves out their that eventually humanity would see that we can living among each other....then...genosha happened." Y/n said with a remorseful look. " I....i gave up hope on such a future....and as you know I cut ties with the X-men and ran off after it happened." Y/n said not proud of the fact as it had been the major cause of his and rogues break up as well as his guilt.
"Hm, while it was cowardly to run when we needed to keep our numbers strong...." Emma said as she rubbed the side of his temple with her temple, she saw it all, relived the destruction, and seeing just how ferociously y/n fought...his wounds...his anguish admits the destructio, and something that stuck out. "...you were just a boy.." Emma said with emotion clear on her face.
Y/n leaned into her touch and continued. " I wondered ..just what I could do... what was the point if my very existence , our existence was such a problem....when Xavier and everyone found me.... I expected ridicule ...shame...I would have blamed them and yet consider my surprise....."
Emma saw the image y/n projected, the familiar sight of Xavier wearing cerebro outstretching his hand to y/n.
" you have walked alone long enough my boy, come home, your family awaits."
"Krakoa was.....everything I wanted for us....peace..happiness, it wasn't perfect but it was ours." Y/n said with a smile. "Humanity didn't understand but they didn't have to cause they never did, it was for us, just for us." Y/n said as he and Emma concluded their dance.
"Hm, now that is a much better answer." Emma said with a warm smile as she walked him over to the bar served some champagne for the both of them. " a shame some of our allies had to deal with its destruction.
