sure, whatever

you gonna talk to this little girl or not?

[heavymetals]

[ There's a small pause before Erik replies. ]

I am, if she wants to speak to me.

[firings]

i'm no child expert

but looks like she went through a lot in that lab
and maybe after it too

she says humans killed logan

[heavymetals]

You don't have to be an expert to understand that. If they wanted to turn her into a weapon, I'm certain they didn't even consider her a human being.

Is this your way of telling me to be gentle with my approach?

[firings]

interpret it however you like

[heavymetals]

Very well. Thank you for informing me.

[firings]

[ After some delay - ]

whatever

still don't know how to feel about you

[heavymetals]

Unfortunately I can't help you with that.

[firings]

figures

just talk to the girl. not my strong suit

[heavymetals]

You were the one who said you didn't want to talk to me. You walked away after one single conversation. So what would you have me do? I can't tell you how to feel about me, only that I'm not going to change who I am to appease anyone.

I will.

[firings]

yeah, yeah, i get it

look boss daddy, you and that little girl are the only mutants i know whether i like it or not. so i'm gonna talk to you whether you like it or not

jeez next time i'm not gonna tell you if i meet a mutant if this is the thanks i get for letting you know

[ Since he was dragged to this world before his first day as part of the Brotherhood, John really doesn't know what his purpose is outside of what this realm wants them to be. So, even if he's not conscious of it, he gravitates towards Magneto. ]

[heavymetals]

You misunderstand me. I want you to speak to me, to reach out to me for anything that you need. I'm sorry if I'm not the man you know, but you can still rely on me, if you wish to. I didn't turn my back on you, as I never will turn my back on any mutant who needs help.

I did thank you for it, and it was sincere, even if you might not think so.

Whenever you want to talk, I am always within reach.

[firings]

whatever you say

[ Translation: he'll come to you in due time ]
