Nearly done and we still haven't started...(Open to X-Men)
Scott Summers looked down at the stacks of paperwork and information on his desk with a critical eye. Trade agreements, delivery manifests and personnel reports were among the top things that he needed to find time to deal with. He also had to schedule time to talk to everyone in the various areas of Utopia on the progress of rebuilding from Bastion's attack. His people, both the X-Men and mutants in general, have been through so much recently that it was wonder they hadn't broken yet. Of course, there were many that did.

The Church of Purity denounced Utopia at every turn, along with media pundits and politicians from both political parties. For every person that stood up in defense of mutantkind, it seemed that five more were hell-bent on seeing them truly become extinct.

Luckily, the X-Men have hope...and Hope.

Scott believes the girl will save mutantkind, given the proper time and training. He doesn't know how or when it will happen, despite the number of possible futures he's aware of. Nathan taught her well, and it was up to Scott and the X-Men to continue that training. But above all, it was on them to keep her safe.

Leading back to the paperwork on his desk. Hungry people didn't fight well, nor did people didn't have enouh water for showering and drinking. They needed more resources to sustain themselves and Scott wasn't sure where they'd come from, he'd secure them however he had to.

His people expected and deserved nothing less.

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer," Emma spoke up, rising from her seat. "I believe that was the phrase some of you used when rationalizing why you kept me around initially--and if I'm not mistaken it's still a prevailing thought."

A wry smile crossed her lips as she looked at each person still in the room in turn.

"Scott's right. Keeping those two up close will at the very least buy us precious seconds in stopping them on one of their ridiculous quests for global domination, but even more so it is politically stupid for us to claim that we are for all mutants and turn two of the largest symbols away. And while I think Magneto would be mature enough to handle a 'we do not trust you' conversation, his bitchy little lapdog is another story entirely. We need them here. Both for safety and for the mission."

Hank pushed his own chair back, rising, and placing his furry paws on the table. "And when the rest of the world comes after us, for harboring known terrorists? The world still believes Magneto responsible for Xorn's atrocities in New York."

He let out a breath. "I don't like this. At all. I want that on the record. But I'm willing to abide by this, for now. I don't trust them. But if this is what is necessary..."

And I'm not sure how much I still trust you, Scott.

"The United States is going to have to think long and hard about that, considering that two different branches of their government have tried to wipe out mutantkind in recent times, with Osborn followed by Bastion." Scott says, thinking things over.

"Right now, we need to focus on survival and making sure we get through another day. If people want to make an issue over Magneto and Exodus later, then we'll deal with it then." Scott tells him.

He knows he's losing Hank on this, but damn it if he didn't see another way out of this that didn't result in something worse happening down the line.

Logan trusted no one...much...anymore. "He's plannin' somethin' that we're gonna be sorry about. He's never been straight an' he's playin' you like he did Xavier."

"The difference being that Magneto hasn't been my friend for years on end. Should it come down to it, we'll do what we have to to stop him." Scott says, rising from his chair.

The walls were starting to close in. He needed a little space.

"Any one needs me, I'll be out walking around." Scott says.

Would you like some company?

Emma looks at the others, but says nothing. There is nothing left to add.

"I'll be in the lab complex, should anyone require me," Hank said, turning to leave.

No. I just need a few minutes to sort out my thoughts.

He leaves the room and goes to look out over the water.
