First Spell || [Voice]

[myothertights]

Okay, so I've had a few days to settle with the fact that, right now? I can't get away. No exit to the city, and working with uh...other stuff just lands me right back here. So make the best of the situation, right? Found a pretty decent sized apartment, stocked up on soda and junk food, it's near a café so for proper food I can check that out

[Erik ignores most of what the young voice says, instead focuses on what is most pertinent to him.]

Exactly how have you attempted to leave, if I might ask?

[myothertights]

[Oh snap, he was hoping no one would ask to be honest.]

I tried to walk out, but that doesn't seem to work. I found a magic shop and waved a magic wand. Desperate means and things like that.

[If a magic wand happened to be his entire body :|]

'working with other stuff...lands me back here.'

Your words, not mine.

I doubt you meant walking.

[Erik smirks, even if Billy can't see it.]

So let's try this again, without you lying.

You're among those with abilities--you shouldn't worry about that.

[myothertights]

[There's a short silence.]

Well to be fair, I did try to walk. What makes you think I have abilities? [He's only worried about the whole secret identity thing...]

voice; private

[token_vengeance]

Because of the other statement you made.

[He lets out a sigh.]

I can get a telepath to tell me you're lying, you know.

[Someone without strict morals on things? That would be Erik at this point. He's stressed, frustrated, and just wants the truth.]

[Billy switches his own reply to video, turning the phone and glaring at it, even though right now he's faced with a black screen, he knows Erik can see him.]

That's a bit cheap, isn't it? Not letting people have their own secrets.

It should be up to me to tell people if I have anything or not. [Yup, good at replying in a way that helps your case Billy.]

A spell. And it didn't work.

[He smirks.]

Under any other circumstance, I would completely agree with you. But here?

We don't have that luxury. You should understand that.

[At the mention of spells, he quirks an eyebrow.]

Really. A mutation--?

[myothertights]

I don't have that luxury because you just took it away from me by threatening to get a telepath to read my mind.

[He's still glaring at you. Holding up a hand into the view of the video feed and lets electricity crackle around his fist.]

Think of it as whatever you want.

You know, I could have been bluffing.

[A quirk of his lips.]

Fine. A trick for a trick.

[He turns the device to show a lone light pole. Within moments it's twisting, curling up upon itself.]

[myothertights]

[Derp, way to go.]

Doubt you were.

[He watches and his eyes slowly widen, the glare vanishing and he just...takes a few moments. Because...he knows someone back home that can do the same thing.]

That's...okay yeah, pretty neat.

[token_vengeance]

I'm glad you like it.

[He pauses, then decides he'll attempt to reach out, first.]

My name is Erik Lehnsherr.

[The view changes quickly and there's a clatter noise as Billy's just dropped the cell phone. He reaches down and picks it up, damn...daaamn!]

Billy Kaplan. So you can...control magnetism, right?

video; private

[token_vengeance]

[Erik lets out a breath. Apparently this person knows him as well, given the reaction.]

Yes, I can control magnetism. And others tell me that I fully adopt my name of Magneto in the future.

video; private

[myothertights]

[He stiffens and, man does this guy look so young compared to the Magneto he...oh...future, that would explain a lot!]

I-Yeah, you do. Sorry, sometimes I don't think before I open my mouth.

video; private

[token_vengeance]

It's fine.

[Erik watches Billy carefully. He's had to give this talk, once already.]

Considering what I've heard, I don't even know if we're from the same timelines.

I want to assure you that whatever I become...or will not become-- that's not who I am now.

And I don't appreciate being judged for events in my hypothetical future.

[More time travel. This will never get anything less than confusing. It was confusing with Nate and Kang, it's still confusing with Erik.

He listens to him though and he smiles, nodding his head. He knew exactly what he meant.]

Not judging at all. It's weird seeing a younger version and one pre all the Magneto crazy I've seen but...I get it. I sorta, kinda knew someone in your situation.
