Wanda's mouth tightened as Mystique rejected her peace offering. "I have little hope of reconciliation, no matter what my silly heart wants." she leaned back in her chair, this was why she hadn't offered to 'fix' Raven immediately, she was already distracted by her returning mutation. "Would it kill you to pretend to have a civil conversation with me?" she snarled.
No Mystique might have been the only person that COULD have helped her stay in contact with her father and instead she just stood to the side. "I thought you were a seductress, a manipulator. You came here for me to help you. But now." she snorted. "Now you know it will come back in time so Im useless to you. And you wondered why I wanted the information on Charles, first! For fucks sake Raven, you understand I could get him out with out risk!"
Wanda's hand snaked forward grabbing Raven's wrist as her mutation unfurled, she didn't have to touch the other woman, but it made it easier. And more controlled, and no matter what had passed between them she didn't want to hurt Raven. She watched as blue flowed up her arm, "There." she snapped.

Mystique was doing her best to keep her temper in check, but Wanda was trying her patience. A seductress. A manipulator. So that's what Mystique was? Was that how all of the x-men saw her? Because certainly Wanda was more on that side than on The Brotherhood. Normally Mystique took pride in her ways, but currently it felt like an insult. "You ask me, Wanda, to have a civil conversation, yet I've been nothing -but- civil to you, and you are the one throwing insults and obscenities." When Wanda grasped her arm, she saw the blue flowing up around her skin. She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes. It felt right being herself again.. and yet, she had to keep that part of her hidden. For now.
"I could have not told you about Charles at all, Wanda. I wish you would understand that. Even speaking to you about him being alive would put him at risk if I had absolutely no trust in you." Her eyes slightly narrowed. "Of course, though, you feel it necessary to go on a tangent. He doesn't need rescued. I just need to see him. I need to see my brother and this is the only way. If he is becoming stronger, then he should stay where he is now. Once he is released, you'll be able to see him every day. I will not. Because that is not where my fate belongs, Wanda."

Wanda's eyes narrowed back, "You implied he was being kept against his will." she stated "And we both know there are ways to keep even his powers in check."
Wanda sighed not even a thank you for the expedited cure, of course to Mystique it was probably only expected. She shook her head of course she would cure the other woman, but she hated feeling taken for granted. When Raven spoke about how Wanda could see Charles every day she winced, that was cruel of her, she knew why it wasn't that easy.
Wanda's grip on Raven's wrist turned soft once the other woman admitted her sorrow at not being able to be with Charles. "Why...even now even after the worst has happened why can't they just talk?" she said softly. Her fathers stubbornness had been the destruction of so many, all she wished for was a happier world were there was no threat, where it didn't matter if a person had power or different colored skin. "Do you ever wish for a different life?" she asked quietly.

"To be truthful, Wanda.. although I believe the x-men in general have no idea about the facility, I do believe that perhaps one of them does know.. and took him there themselves." She had an idea but she would keep it to herself instead of starting rumors. She only wanted to see her brother. Spreading rumors was not something that she cared to do at the moment. "I do not believe he's being held there against his will.. but I intend on finding that out for myself. Should I need to free him, I will contact you again. You have my word." She would likely need help for such a job, and her and Magneto couldn't likely do it on her own. That would come another time, though.
"I'm sure they will talk, Wanda. They were the dearest of friends once upon a time... and maybe one day they will realize that it could happen again. Until then, however.. it is what it is I suppose.." She stayed silent for a moment, and quietly sighed. When Wanda asked if she ever wished for a different life, the smallest of smiles crept over her lips. "I used to wish for it all the time. Now I wish for a completely different word." Her eyes lifted to meet Wanda's. "Thank you.. for the cure..for everything.."

One of his X-men? Hank? Of the ones that had been involved in the battle he and Jean seemed to be the likely candidates, after all Hank was a doctor him self.... Wanda frowned in thought as Raven promised to call her if Charles did need rescuing, still wondering who it could have been, Jean's name stuck in her head the Phoenix's abilities were so unknown...
"Thank you." she responded when Raven gave her word, a good part of Wanda wondered if she would keep it, especially if her father objected. A whole new world... Yes Wanda wished for that too. Where the mistakes of the past could have been changed.
"A new life, new world..." Wanda frown turned into a soft smile as Mystique's hold became soft, her silly hope bosoming again. The years had made her bitter when it came to her old friends, but they hadn't managed to make her hard.
Not even when the world went completly to hell would she grow hard, and that is what would kill her in the end.
"Raven..." she smiled, "Can we be friends again?"
