He smiled as the Gender Terms were brought up. He tried his best with them, but he was very much a man before their time. [color=bfb5f1]"Just try your best to show respect."[/color] He replied in a "I dunno, i just try my best" sort of way. As the Shards started firing, Rob hadn't been looking and wasn't so much effected by the shards of metal, smashing into his hardened skin, but some parts of him were starting to act weird, he quickly put himself between some of the other X-Men and Magneto. He then looked at Magneto to see it was him freaking out. [color=bfb5f1]"ERIK!"[/color] He yelled, before running over to him. He was lucky that Aluminium wasn't magnetic, but he quickly collapsed as he got close to Magneto. Yeah, the Aluminium on his skin may not be magneticly conductive, but that Adamantium that was keeping his spine together sure as hell was. The waves kept pulling the adamantium out of allignment, meaning that he was pretty much doing a Ministry of Silly Walks in a desperate attempt to stay upright. [color=bfb5f1]"ERIK, YOU GOTTA PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! YOU GOTTA KEEP M TOGETHER, YOU'VE GOT A DREAM THAT NEEDS SAVING!!!"[/color] He roared at him over the din of shuddering and cracking metal. He then laughed [color=bfb5f1]"I HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO ABOUT THAT CORTEZ GIT, BUT I DID TELL YE SO."[/color] He then looked at the others. [color=bfb5f1]"DEAL WITH CORTEZ, I'LL KEEP ERIK HERE COMPANY!"[/color] To be honest, Rob had had quite some time to prepare for a fight with Magneto. He understood that Magneto was a Mutant Supremacist and would rather murder a million baby humans than harm a single hair on the head of a Mutant, but he had always had that niggling paranoia that Magneto would try to kill him after M was completed in one of those Bond Villain "And now nobody will be able to reveal M's secrets, MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!" twists. He grabbed one of the wires in the wall absorbing it, one of the lights near him went off as he grunted, using the rubber insulation to surround the adamantium in his spine. It helped, not perfectly, but at least he was able to move more coordinatedly now. He spat the copper of the wire onto the floor in a little ball then moved back into the middle of the hall and flung his arms and legs wide, trying to cover as much of the hall as possible, ready to absorb the next piece of metal that came flying and hopefully [color=bfb5f1]"COME ON, ERIK, YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THAT TOSSPOT, AND SO IS THE DREAM OF M! IT'S YOUR DUTY TO KEEP M TOGETHER! FOR ALL THE MUTANTS, FOR YOUR BROTHERS, FOR YOUR SISTERS...[/color] He turned to see Pietro hit by shrapnel and trying to hobble away [color=bfb5f1]"YOUR CHILDREN!!!"[/color] He breathed a little more heavily. [color=bfb5f1]"ASARI BELIEVED IN YOU. DON'T LET HER DOWN, DON'T LET THE CHILDREN DOWN!!!"[/color] He REALLY hated having to bring Jasmine and Asari into this, but anything to try and give Magneto the emotional anchor he needed to fight this right now. He'd deal with the fallout later. Right now, Magneto was in danger of tearing the whole station apart. [color=bfb5f1]ONE FATHER TO ANOTHER, YOU KNOW YOU'LL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT THEM, SO PROTECT HIM NOW!!!"[/color] He roared with passion and fury [color=bfb5f1]"DON'T ME THE SHITTY FATHER THAT DOES THIS TO THEIR CHILD!!!"[/color] He pointed to the scar down his face, he had told Magneto about how his father had done it to him with a straight razer after his powers first manifested. [color=bfb5f1]DON'T BE THE HUMANS YOU'RE ALWAYS SAYING WE'RE ABOVE!!!"[/color]
