WAS NEVER AN OPTION

Erik knew full well that this was not going to be an easy conversation. He was braced for it. But, when it came to Lorna . . . he never quite knew just how extreme it was going to get. Still. He loved her emphatically. She was his daughter. He had raised her as a single parent, and couldn't imagine his life without her. He knew it would be a great deal to ask for her support because for all her life, it had just been the two of them. But in Erik's life, Magda had played a huge role. He couldn't just ignore that nor dismiss it. Not like he did before.

Quite the opposite in fact: he wished to solidify it. But there in lay the concern: telling Lorna that he would be marrying Magda. That Magda would become Lorna's step-mother, though Magneto couldn't imagine a time where she would call Magda as such. Never the less, Erik could not stall or withhold this conversation forever. He would be married to the woman he loved soon enough, and Lorna needed to be made aware -- and braced -- of it. Taking a slow breath, he entered the room where Lorna was, trying to figure out how to start this conversation. "Lorna, I need to talk to you about something." So that she knew it was a serious topic, though his tone remained casual.

Lorna was Daddy's Girl and nothing would ever ruin that. She had been raised by a single parent, and while it hadn't always been and easy life, she had no regrets. She was a powerful mutant, had power over the mutants since she was so strong and her father so well respected. Life was good.

Currently she was working on using her powers to shape little details in things. Her father did it with ease, but he controlled metal, were as she controlled magnetic fields. It was harder for her to narrow her focus, but her father had been working with her on it. Lorna squinted her eyes and tried to focus in on making something small smooth out. When she couldn't get it, she threw the mental across the room. Rolling her eyes she muttered "Ridiculous" under her breath before her powers make it come back to her and she tried again.

The door opened then, and she looked up. Her father's voice was serious. Had something happened? Had the humans done something stupid? "Alright," she said, looking at him but not getting off where she was sitting on the floor.

Magneto didn't know how to say this. He quite literally never had to have this conversation with his daughter before, and therefore . . . was unsure how to start. He wasn't exactly well known for beating around the bush. Or being anything but blunt and straight to the point, even if it hurt. While he always sought to protect his daughter from all threats -- including emotional ones -- he knew that this was not something he could avoid. He would just need to say it, and then deal with the repercussions of his words.

He knew Lorna well enough to not have displaced hope that she would take it well and be fully alright with this. The main fact, being that Magda was human. But . . . he needed to find a way for her to be. Because Magda was about to become a part of their lives; a part of their family. "I'm getting married," he simply stated, his tone a little too casual considering the magnitude of the words. "To a woman," he added unnecessarily. What he really needed to say was to a human. But the truth was, he didn't see Magda like that; like her being human was a bad thing. Unfortunately, he knew that Lorna would.

Lorna sat there still and silently staring at the person who was pretending to be her father. He might as well have said he was going to a water park in a speedo with as much sense as his words made. Or buying a rare pet cat for 30 grand because it was hypoallergenic. He was what?! Lorna's lips were hanging open slightly as she forgot how to move her face for a hot minute while his words settled in. "Sure you are," she said, deciding the best thing to do was ignore it and hope it went away.

Married?! What the freakin' fork?! TO WHO? He didn't favor anyone here?! He was always off on some meeting or something and never around---wait! Was this a love spell? Wasn't there a mutant who controlled emotions? Did she need ti kick someone's B double T? Still staring at him, Lorna slowly floated up and folded her arms. "To a woman?" She repeated slowly, almost disbelievingly, as if she was humoring a child. "And which one?" Selene? No. Which one?

She didn't believe him. He could tell by her tone, though . . . perhaps it was more the shock. Denial. Yes. That must be what it was for her expression held the surprise, but her words were far more . . . calmer, than Erik would have expected. Any child under normal circumstances would struggle to this adjustment. But, Lorna was far from the average child. "Her name is Magda Eisenhardt," he told her. He had nothing to hide, even if Lorna wished to look into who the woman was -- as he wouldn't put it past her to do so.

"I've known her for many years." Since he was a child. She was the only person he knew from when he was a boy. "We recently, reunited." Again. The last time had not ended well due to his obsessive pursuit of Shaw. But this time, he wanted to solidify his relationship with her in the best way he knew how. He wanted them to meet at some point, under this . . . understanding that Magda and Erik would soon be husband and wife, but he also knew that he would need to ease Lorna into that request. For now, he was simply giving her the preliminary information.

Madgah? What kind of name was that? That wasn't a mutant name--when did he call people by names and not mutant name? Mutants here wanted to be called by certain names. She was Polairs, and he was Magneto. Who the hell was Eyesinhard? Lorna stared at him trying to figure out what was happening here. Clearly this was a joke. A particular joke. "Did Pyro pay you to say this?" She asked, deciding that the only way this was happening if it was a joke. Apirl 1?

Reunited?! Who had he known before?! While he knew a lot of mutants, Magneto didn't KNOW a lot of mutants. They were all recent finds, unless it was principal guy. Most had been killed, which added the fuel to their fire of fighting the humans and becoming the dominate race! "Are you being serious?!" She asked, the upset of finding out now starting to show in her now angry tone. "You've just decided to get married?! All on your own?!! Just suddenly and randomly?!"

Magneto knew this wasn't going to be an easy conversation given Lorna's . . . personality. But he had to have it well before she would inevitably meet Magda. Lorna was a part of his life; a big part of it. "I do not get involved in your and Pyro's games." For lack of a better word. Pyro and Lorna always seemed to have this little pranks going on and Magneto wasn't about to take part in it, wanting that to be known considering Lorna's question of him being paid to say this.

"You know me well enough to know that I don't do anything at random," he responded calmly. Magneto was often meticulous when it came to planning; calculated. And getting married was not something he would leap into. For some time, he never even thought he would get married. But Magda had changed that. She changed quite a bit. Though he knew that the shock was fair; Magneto's past with Magda wasn't exactly common knowledge. And he had not even gotten to the part of revealing that Magda was not a mutant. Though he couldn't help but think of something else Lorna had said; that he had decided to do this all on his own. "Should I have consulted you first?" He asked both rhetorically and perhaps with a bit of genuine curiousity.
