Why not?

The ice cream yes. Pickles no

[Erik makes a face at her.]

Do not scare me like that...however funny that might have been.

My ability has been studied before. It did not end well.

[ She giggled a little ]

You set yourself up for that one Erik. At least I waited until after you had finished drinking coffee. I was tempted to answer when you took a drink.

And even if I was, that just sounds disgusting to me. Though have been craving Tempura lately. [ Truth was she wanted long enough to do an at home test to see, without him mother henning. ]

I'm less interested in your particular ability than why a single alteration of the genome results in such a wide variety of abilities and appearance, but if you don't want to contribute, I won't push.

I am not the man you wish to speak to about this then. My....former friend Charles Xavier he studied us.....but I could connect you to so German research done during the war if you wish.

I'd be glad to speak with him, however, my choice to contact you wasn't solely a matter of looking for new data points. You represent a portion of your population that might not always have much access to information about the nature of the mutation that would benefit them, and I believe that a population has a right to know those things.

[Erik considers this then nods. He sees the wisdom in speaking with different mutants, he knows for a fact most of the Brotherhood were unaware of their powers at the start.]

Ask whatever questions you like then.....but there are two subjects I will not speak about. One....anything about Xavier is his story to tell and I will also not talk about my recent imprisonment with the government.

I'll admit I did but that doesn't mean you should have done it anyway.

[He manages a smile for the cleverness of the joke just the same. It had gotten his attention if she'd wanted it.]

Tempura is disgusting too....I can't stand anything fried.

[ She watches him a few moments silent. ] Sorry, I don't mean to worry you.

[ She does give him a peck on the cheek though. ] Oka so nothing fried. You know how much I know how to cook that that takes out of the menu? Fine fine, I'll do boring stuff then.

No food is boring Constance....it's food and we should enjoy it no matter what.

You say that now. Wait until you're stuck with the same thing for four months. [ She'd never be that cruel, but she has been stuck in situations like that a few times. Only so much you can do with noodles and tomato sauce. ]

I went hungry to the point of death for 3 years as a teenager I don't get tried of food ever.

Then go get the ice cream and I'll make sure to not have something boring made for lunch.

If they have caramel or coffee that would be great.

[Erik smiles and nods.]

Carmel coffee ice cream it is then.

[He comes back half an hour later with the prize smiling.]

[ By the time he's back she's actually starting to cook. She's not really smiling, more in shock though does force a grin for him. ]

And why not?

It just seems extreme even for you Hannibal

I've gutted people for being rude to my friends. Some idiot claiming that the Holocaust is unrealistic? That deserves a very slow death indeed.

There have always been men and women like that my friend. We cannot change their minds no matter what we try and do.

We can, however, scramble their brains in their skulls or hang them with their own intestines.

In any case, I need to restock the pantry. People who insult my friends are useful that way, not to mention the six million dead and the uncounted other broken shells that stumbled out of Hell.

I'll make you a feast of him, if you would like.

Are you calling me a liar?

No, it's just your idea seems a bit dangerous even for me.

Maybe you should stay home. See if you can use your powers to knit a sweater. (He said a cocky smile.)

Don't cross me boy. You won't like the result.

Did I hit a nerve, Erik?

Yes you did.....the question is why?

You must know by now that I hardly have a reason for doing something. (He looked over to the older looking man.) Still I apologize. I couldn’t help myself.

Yes it's a standard reaction in teenagers actually. But you are forgiven.

Thanks.

(To be honest he was sure that he would get his old friend to forgive him. It was only matter of time. It was only this time that he had to ask once.)

I still think that we should do it.

A raid like that as honorable as it is would get us captured, the children are watched.

Somethings are worth the risk.

Sometimes yes, but the Brotherhood took a large hit from Trask's experiments. Even I would advise caution.

Don't worry. I will be careful. (Obviously going with or without Erik.)

You will but only because I will go with you. I'm a larger target then you and will garner more interest.

(There was a small hint of a smile on the young looking man’s face. Erik seemed to have changed his mind about going with him. Maybe it was because Erik cared if he got hurt while he was out there. It didn’t matter much to him.)

Slower too.

[Erik gives him a warning glance.]

Watch it young man. I took on the Hellfire Club and two armies with a handful of missiles.

(His head turned slightly as he tried to hide a playful smile.)

Clearly you can handle yourself.

I'm sensing a but in that sentence?
