Absolute shock and awe had riddled Max’s face as Sapphire had told him of Caspers power. All this time he had believed him to be some drug addicted human who the Underground had only tolerated due to his connection with his brother Jack. Even in Wanda’s world he never saw him display his powers, with the exception of speaking to himself which he tended to do a lot. Something Max had written off on drugs. The only possible link would be his claim to Xaviers bloodline, but even that didn’t mean much as the x-gene could skip a generation. He wanted to speak but was literally rendered speechless, unable to have any words come out as they all died at his throat. One of his hands just ran through his golden hair, exasperation shown on his sleeve.
”Honestly, yeah. I assumed he was just a human who spoke to himself due to drug induced hallucinations. But if he can find Waverly’s mom then that’s just that much closer we are to being able to achieve this. I understand the concern about how horribly necromancy is depicted in science fiction, but this isn’t science fiction. We have real powers with real possibilities and perhaps we can use them to save at least one person.
In many novelizations its either the spirit is missing, or lack of love from a creator, or some form of virus. This is different, we can repair her own body, find her soul, and have her reunited with it. Jack is an investigator, part of his job is profiling people and psychoanalyzing them. He can keep watch over her as she recovers, and adjusts. See if she’s fine neurologically and then if he gives the word she can go off on her own.” Max shifted his weight onto his other foot now, turning to face Callie’s concerns and honestly wondering if he should even bother. She seemed very short sighted and her mind didn’t want to be open to the possibilities. Jumping to illogical conclusions that seemed to fit her own narrative.
He wanted to ignore her, to just allow it to slide and move past it so he can focus on the issue at hand. But he didn’t want to seem rude, and he sure as hell didn’t want to seem cold. Sapphire seemed to be in control of her emotions and he should be as well. He let out a deep sigh before continuing.
”I can’t tell you everything ok? And I can’t speak for her and say whether or not she knew about what they were doing before hand. It is possible she didn’t know and found out sometime around when we did. With how busy I’ve seen her be trying to...trying to create this peace for mutants, its easy to see how she may of been distracted and missed the signs of Shaw and Sinisters betrayal.” It was true he didn’t know the full story, but he also knew every story had three sides. If what Sapphire was saying about Leighton was any indication, then he needed to start listening to all parties before making decisions.
Max wrestled with Waverlys question for a while. He was hoping this subject wouldn’t be brought up, morality and necromancy hardly ever went hand and hand. He couldn’t bring back the world, let alone those she asked of. Erg for one was an especially tricky subject.
”No Waverly...it would just be your mother and that’s it. I the more attempts we do the greater the chance something bad may happen. Besides Erg...He would need an entirely new body, that would take time and experience to craft. Much more than simply fixing your mothers existing one. Besides, she’s human, I don’t really know if Ergs body had any special genetic makeup that functioned with his powers. If I brought him back it he would likely hate his life as he lived the rest of it out like a human...this is a one time offer Waverly, extended only to you but you can call me on it another time if you wish to think it over.” There wasn’t much left to be said to Veil, the concerns of psychological issues having already been addressed earlier on when speaking to Sapphire. It was still a tricky subject but he had faith that he could do this. Max simply nodded at her request to contact Veil. He sat on the ground in his meditative stance, trying to connect the two together. Nothing happened for a moment, his eyes squinting and mouth grimacing. Max pushed on trying once more to establish a connection, feeling a faint tug on her as a static connection broke through.
”Leighton where are you? Are you ok? I haven’t heard from you in some time now

Harry leaned into her as Waverly buried herself into his neck. His cheek resting against her coarse unwashed hair that could use as much conditioner as his sisters. He allowed it to lay there for a few moments before looking up at his sister with fear in his eyes, asking her what he should do now. There was genuine conflict inside him now. Greater than anyone could ever know. He’s never been motherly to anyone, well asides from his instincts with his sister but that was different. His free hand patted her shoulder as he tried to comfort her while she spoke through his chest towards the others. He didn’t realize how dramatic this world could be or how much his little sister was having to deal with on a daily basis. The strength she must have to endure this day after day was immeasurable. A new respect forming as the image of the small girl he once knew slowly fading away.
There was a sudden shock as Waverly finally removed her head and looked up. Warlocks proposal gave her something that was dangerous, hope. He wasn’t sure if this was the right path for them, but he knew that if given the chance he would bring back his love no matter the consequences. Tears threatened to ruin his lower eye liner, tilting his head upwards to stop them from breaking through as he took a deep breath in. Harry blinked a few times, whisking the tear away before finally looking towards the group. His duplicates made their way back towards the car, leaning against the doors as they awaited to hear back form Warlocks partner, seeing the tension was dying down and that hands may not be thrown.

Man that guy was
hot. Both literally and in terms of raw power and attractiveness. It was clear that Leighton and Desiree wouldn’t be getting away now or even have the chance of betrayal. He patted the dog on its head as he spoke to it.
”Who wants to come and cause some Havok? You do don’t you? Yes you do.” He picked the dog up and it cuddled into his arms, making his way towards the limo and opening one of the car doors.
”If candy man can have a fur ball so can I, Butch is coming with us.” Jinx kissed the dogs forehead and placed him in the car, telling it to wait there for him to return. As he walked passed the car he could feel the heat rising off of it and onto his skin. A slight kick of adrenaline and hormones following suit. Jinx watched the fear in their eyes as the flaming hounds scoured the place, as he launched bright pink bolts of energy into the walls.
”Get me an iced chai on the double, oh and a donut while you’re at it. For your sakes i hope you have strawberry.”Jinx watched Pyro at work, his heart thumping for the flaming mutant as he worked a way to flirt with him. He took a deep breath and shot out another bolt towards the coffee machine, causing it to blow up and smoke where it sat.
”Hey hot stuff, you’re much more fun to work with than those other lame-o’s. Let me know if you’d like a hand while I’m here.” Jinx offered him a wink as he went about terrorizing the employees again.
”Where’s my damned Iced Chai! I’m getting impatient here. Chop chop people.” Pink energy crackling along his hands as he threatened to throw another bolt towards an unsuspecting person.
