[ Have a fantastic shot of Erik's back. Not like, anywhere lower, but a fantastic shot of his back and you realize the datapad is floating while Erik is plotting dramatics brooding by his window - Thanks Stefan! - hands clasped behind his back. Erik had come back late last night, much to the approval of Charles and has conveniently been filled in ( Read more... )

Defense. [He repeats the word incredulously] I always said, the best defense is a good offense. Got a feeling that's exactly how you feel about all this. [More than a feeling, really. He's seen your war firsthand, but he's done trying to bring up the future if you're just going to be a dismissive little bitch about it] Just better make sure you know your real enemy. Sayin' it's a whole damn race of people tryin' to get by sounds more than a little hypocritical comin' out of the mouth of one of ours. [And that's one of his biggest problems with your whole philosophy, Erik. Lumping humans together is as stupid to him as lumping mutants into a category]

Sith aren't a race, they're a bunch of religious whack jobs who wanna take over the galaxy, and don't care who they kill to get there. People joinin' up in their armies know that. Bein' scared's not an excuse for followin' orders to wipe out innocent lives. [You wanna talk about Nazis? Fine. Logan will talk about Nazis.

He pauses at the mention of this meeting, instantly suspicious.]

You're talkin' every mutant that's arrived. Your idea of 'discussion' gonna be tryin' to recruit them over to your personal anti-human army?

[ Of course it is, Erik isn't going to deny a good offense works wonders. He's advocated the same to Charles after all. ] Like I don't know them, Logan. You want to want to make that comparison, fine. Race or not, they're still out for us, and so will the Republic. Don't tell me you're naive enough to believe a registration isn't meant for something more.

On the contrary, Logan, you couldn't be further from the truth. I'm merely addressing those who knew both myself and Charles as our elder version. While such an army need not exist, not when it's clear both sides have their own, I'm looking for unity among us.

You think I actually signed up for their little survey? Sure as hell didn't. But that's cuz it's my business. Ain't none of theirs. [And what they do isn't any of his. See how that works?]

Us. Right. [With that kind of crap, no wonder Charles wants to believe Erik's espousing the same shit as him. But the young Prof's still too blind, still too caught up in liking the guy to see where it's heading, and Logan's getting tired of trying to warn the stubborn idiots.]

I'll be there. But I ain't interested in any 'us' that involves your superiority BS.

Then it's ridiculous, Logan, you're already far superior than any other being here I've seen, and yet you refuse to acknowledge that? [ He's already seen this twice, with both Hank and Raven, but to hear it from Logan? ]

The military will turn its back on you as soon as you've done their dirty work.

Countin' on it. Ain't anything I need from them after we're done with it, and dirty work's what I'm best at. [He's not getting into this mutant superiority shit with you. Nup.]

How about returning home? Unless you're completely content to stay here.

If I thought they knew anything about how to actually get us home, you think I wouldn't be workin' on finding out what they were hidin'?

They don't know anymore than we do about why or how we're here. If anyone does, it's Revan, and he's out there. I'm not letting them get to him first.

If you're as capable as you say you are, I would have thought you'd have a lead by now. [ Seriously just someone stop them before they bitch each other out :| ]

As it stands it's the blind leading the blind, Logan. They don't know where Revan is, short of where the Sith army is, and you're willing to go down that route instead of the man responsible. Joining the army won't solve anything.

If there was one to be had, I'd have it.

And you're wrong. Solves the problem of me not gutting enough of those bastards lately.

An ineffective solution at it's best. Quite a shame you didn't learn how to pick your targets as opposed to mindless killing.

Pre-meditated's more your style, I'm sure. You're right. Much more humane.

Of course. Easier than wasting time with the unknown when there's a singular target. You go after them, you kill them, you move on.

They call that murder. The other one's called war.

I'm sure the differences between those have particularly mattered to you, right?

You gonna act like you know me well enough to make that call?

I think you're predictable enough for me to make that evaluation.
