She confirmed that she was not married. That the father of her daughter seemed to have been unable to accept a mutant. How very typical of a human. She then spoke of how he also didn't like what she held onto, and it made him eye the metal necklace she brought into sight. His gaze fixated on it as she asked him questions that processed in his mind as the symbolic item was still worn by her. Silence was his initial response to her words, and he let that lack of sound linger for a few moments. Eventually, his eyes went to her face, forcing himself to remain composed and calm. "If it did, I would not have been with you longer than one night." If it mattered to him that much that she was human, then he would have seen her that one time, and then parted ways. But he had not. While he had often felt conflicted, the conflict had never overpowered how much he cared for her. Until their daughter died. And that was when everything had shifted, for them both.
"Do not put all the blame on me," he argued, refusing to let the fact she was human be the only reason they had parted. "You too could not accept me for who I was and what views I had." She had not wanted the life he had been living; she had not wanted that dark path he was apparently going down. Her life now, revealed just how different they were; how they wanted such different things from life. She had two children, a house, most probably a job. This could never be his life. "And do not make it sound like it had been an easy decision it make." That it had been such an easy choice for him to part ways with her. While he knew it had to happen, while he had focused on other things, that in no way meant that he had not missed her. Nor thought of her. Nor longed for her. He had done and felt all those things. The fact that she had been human, had never stopped him from being with her for those months, but circumstances had caused the inevitable . . . for while he cared for her, there seemed to be more reasons for them to be apart, than together.

"If it did, I would not have been with you longer than one night." Magda's fingers closed and tightened around the necklace, before pulling it toward her to rest over her belly. Where she'd carried two of his children. "Do not put all the blame on me," No, she didn't. She had left him, and she had not sought him out after Peter. Magda knew that. "You too could not accept me for who I was and what views I had." But not that.
"And do not make it sound like it had been an easy decision it make." Stepping closer toward him, Magda kept her eyes on his face so he'd see the truth in her words. "It was only after Ania that I could no longer feel safe on the dark road you were on, Erik. I did not leave because you were a mutant. I was afraid, and so very emotional at the time--and I am still afraid of the path you are on."
"It wasn't easy for me to walk away, to not fight you when you said we couldn't be together because I was human. It still isn't easy. But I was never that girl you saw me as. I was never brave and sure. I have always been afraid. Since the camps, maybe before. I have always looked over my shoulder, and my actions have always been controlled by my fear."
"There was a time, with you, that the fear was less." Pulling the necklace back on her neck she tucked it back under her shirt. "But it was your mission that I could not be apart of, never you."

She spoke of how after Ania's death, she no longer felt safe. He could understand that. But he also knew that it was his mission that defined him, for that had been the start of his journey in becoming Magneto. The very beginning steps. Little did he realize how far he would come from that, but he had never expected to be at peace after killing Shaw. "And I was never the man you saw me as," he told her, in return to her own words about him believing she was that brave and sure woman. She always had thought him to be a good man, someone better than who he was. But he had never been the way she spoke of. Not until she acknowledged who he was now. All the more reason they had not been able to be together. He knew they were getting dangerously close to speaking of things that Magneto had longed tucked away, never allowing it to surface.
He abruptly turned away from her, taking a few steps away as he did not trust himself to be close to her, or allow himself to remember the reasons they had been together, rather than focus on the reasons that they were not. "I did not come here to speak of our past," he said, forcing his voice to be void of emotions that she had always caused him to feel. Though, he had not even come here under the realization that it was Magda he would be speaking to. He needed to return to being Magneto; not Erik. "I still do wish to speak to Peter. If only to let him know that there are others out there like him who will support him." She was human. He had to keep reminding himself of that for while it was a big reason that they parted ways, she was also Magda to him. A woman that he greatly cared for, more than anyone else. "He deserves to be offered that at the very least." He was a mutant. Mutants should know that they are not alone, for Erik had often believed that he had been alone . . . until he'd met Charles.

Erik turned away from her, and Magda wanted tot ell him that he was wrong. That she had known him, and knew the truth of him. The dark and ugly parts but also the great parts. That he was the man she had believed him to be, and she had loved him anyway. Yet he continued talking and brought up their shared son--one he did not know that he had.
"He knows there are others like him." Magda admitted, "I have told him of you before. I have made sure he never felt as alone as you did back then. Yet I cannot let you speak to him again. I would love him to be some of the man you are. Your strength, your arrogance even. But it is your hate for humans that I want my son to know nothing of. His sister, his mother . . . we are human. I want him to understand the value of life, both sides of the cause."
Magda walked over to the book case, and pulled out a thick book with polish writing on it, but when she opened it, it was hollow, and a smaller book was in side. Holding it out to him, Magda hoped he'd look at it. In it were news clippings--in many languages. from all over the world. "Peter and I make it. Looking for signs of other mutants like him." There was even one from ten years ago, were a man claimed to be abroad one of the Russian boats and that mutants had been on the beach, and their fighting had gone in the air, under the sea, and on land.
Magda wasn't sure how she had missed Erik's being arrested, but she assumed it was because by that point Peter did more of it then her. She had not gone looking as much. "We both know how you sound. You draw people in, Erik. You could turn his head toward a path that I can't follow him on."

She spoke of how he was aware that there were others out there, and Magneto knew that. For he had been accompanied by Charles and the other mutant and saw what they were capable of -- with the exception of Charles. However, awareness was not enough. There needed to be more. She showed him a book which he pulled out and briefly scanned through the various pages. Newspaper clippings of incidents involving mutants, inclusive of one major one that he'd been a part of. Taking a few moments to skim through, he closed the book and put it back.
"Awareness is inadequate," he said, speaking aloud his former words. He could not saw that awareness was meaningless, for he knew how alone he had felt and having the knowledge that there were others out there like him, provided him with a sense of comfort. "He needs someone directly in his life who understands what it is to be a mutant. And no amount of research nor tracking of others can qualify you for that role." Because she was human. She may be a good mother, but she could not understand what it was to be a mutant. "What of his father?" Magneto questioned. "Is he a mutant?" He further inquired. Was he part of Peter's life? Was he that sufficient role for the boy? Magneto saw potential in Peter, hence the reason he was here wanting to speak to him, a subject that Magda seemed to be stubborn in her rejection of.

inadequate. Magda's mind stopped working with that words, and even though she heard his other words, they had all an 'everything you are doing is inadequate' tone to them after that. He even went as far to tell her that she wasn't . . . . qualified for the role of Peter's mother. She who had loved him since she learned of him! She who had given up everything for her son, and feared for him every moment of everyday. She who had protected him, and cared for him. Who had cried for him, and cried with him. Who had changed every dipper, and kissed very cut, and done it all alone---inadequate. The word alone was enough to made her feel exactly that: inadequate.
"Get out of my house." She said a bit numbly, but as if the words broke open the flood gates, and made her next words stronger, and the ones that followed stronger still; each one growing until the rage was clear. He'd crossed a line. "Get out of my house, damn you! I am a good mother! You do not get to show up at my door 16 years later and tell me that I am not! That you in your mighty opinion have taken at short glance at my live and have decided I am unfit! Get out! Do not come back here! You go live in your bitter hate and your war and leave me and mine out of it! I am a good mother! To both my children! Your arrogant self dose not get to come into my home and judge me unworthy! inadequate! I hate you!"
But she knew that was the trouble, she didn't hate him. And that was why the words crushed her. "Get out! Go!" She pushed at him, but Erik was, as he always had been, stronger and unmovable. "Take your stupid judgment with you! inadequate?! You didn't think I would have been so with Ania when you sent me away!" Or tried too, "So you don't get to do so now! You can't just show up and expect me to just hand you my son because NOW you are ready to be a father! You don't get to judge me because suddenly I am not good enough! I was goo enough for you daughter, but not for your son? Damn you, Erik! Get out of my house! Don't come back here! Don't ever come back here! I will call the police if you do!" She knew she wouldn't but it was the only real threat she had right now because he could not find out about---oh shite!
