I know everything now. I know it all. My father did it. He had my memory altered to cover up his crimes against me.

...you remembered?

I asked to read my file. It was time.

He had me locked up, Lua. I was put in a nuthouse and immobilized twenty four seven. Kept isolated. I wasn't crazy, he just did it to get rid of me.

At least now I know why Franklin's kidnapping me hit me so goddamn hard.

...oh no.

I'm sorry.

[scarlet_discord]

Well. I guess the question of whether I'd work with him once I got home just got answered.

[He's been so busy trying to calm down a frightened kitty that he's almost grateful for this. But also pissed off because what kind of father does that?]

What did he do to you?

[Private]

[scarlet_discord]

He dumped me off at an insane asylum because he couldn't manage me.

[Private]

[majorum_pride]

Because he couldn't manage you? [Incredulous.]

Turns out he's not much of a man. [hysterical little bark of a laugh] He kept my brother and threw me away. I was little enough that it was probably just for little-kid brattiness amped with powers. But I got the full treatment. Immobilization, drugs, electroshock. For about...seven years.

Do you need to talk about it?

I'm not sure. I feel frozen inside. Nothing's touching me right now. But I can at least understand now why I kept trying to kill him.

Him as in Magneto?

[scarlet_discord]

Yeah. He really does deserve it, especially after this.

He had me locked up. Not because I was insane but because he couldn't handle a kid who was just as powerful as he was.

Turning him human would do the trick. He hates the unempowered. Which is ridiculous because my mother was human.

[Since he knew he'd be seeing her in the gym, Luke waits to see her and speak to her directly about the issue with her father. While not someone he'd faced many times directly back home, he was good friends with Logan and had heard much about Magneto. He didn't seem like the kind of guy you'd want as a parent. This just shows it's true in more than one universe.

Walking over, he starts to ask her if she's okay when he sees the scratches.]

Did you get into a scuffle with someone?

[She looks up and her expression softens somewhat because it's Luke. She sits up from stretching, and touches her cheek briefly.]

Nope. I was good. I have been coming here to take my anger out.

One of the ghosts...scratched me. I wanted to pretend like it didn't happen so that they wouldn't get the satisfaction.

[He frowns as he reaches up and touches her cheek. He'd punch the things if he knew it wouldn't just pass right through them.]

Well I'm not pretending so they can take that up with me. You feeling alright?

[Gym Spam]

[scarlet_discord]

I'm...not feeling much. I read my file. [She brushes the back of his hand lightly with two fingers.] At least I know now.
