It was a very small room, with a very small bed, and nothing on the walls but a couple of hooks on which he had hung a 12th-Century arming-sword.

Exodus was deep in thought, his hands folded on his chest as if in prayer... or death.

	"Then you do not understand him very well." He held the little bit of cotton to the needle hole to put pressure on it for a moment to make sure it wouldn't bleed. "The enemy stronghold is what I say it is. And I have declared you and the others to be our allies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

How strange indeed. Hank can't help but think back to the time Professor Xaiver had placed Magneto in charge of the school and the New Mutants. Scott had walked away, and the rest of them, including the newly resurrected Jean, had formed X-Factor largely out of their distrust of the man, in spite of their one-time mentor's faith.

Exodus, clearly, was more loyal than they. But was such loyalty truly earned, or the mere product of fanaticism? And how long would that truly last, if Magneto made choices Exodus did not approve of?

It felt, to Hank, very much like a pressure cooker.

"As you said," Hank said, neutrally. He checked over his results. "I believe I have everything I need, thank-you."

And he had to explain to a young man's parents why their child was dead when he was in charge of the school. Charles had too much trust in him at the time perhaps.

He understood Exodus' loyalty and need for someone to help guide him. He would watch over him and make sure nothing put the pressure on that high.

With a sketchy smile he stood and his sleeve crawled back down his arm to cover it. "You are welcome. Please let me know if you need anything else."

	"I will, thank-you," Hank said, politely. Amazing. A conversation with Magneto that was both civil and not followed by fighting. Would wonders never cease? (Reply to this)(Parent)
