Fill: Effete 1/1

[sasha_b]

The spoon bends easily in his hand; he barely needs to flex his fingers. He can lift the caddy that holds the iced champagne, can bend the oddly placed wrench and set of tools he finds hidden behind a chair.

And yet when he removes the helmet, and tries to find that place there is more to you than pain and anger. I've seen it he struggles and shakes and god damn everything he can barely lift a pen or a goblet or the bolts from the door he's slammed shut behind him.

Oh my dear friend, we do not.

He clenches his teeth and raises his hands, the dark of the sky lit only by the stars that dare peek around the clouds that dribble downward, fog licking at his damp hair. There was a satellite dish once, and a place that he could find only with Charles' help.

Erik (Magneto, remember) spits and allows the air he's holding in to fizzle out, his lungs deflating like an empty paper sack. The bench is still sitting there; where is the man who tried to lift a sub?"Hiding behind the past
