'Cause with the all that has happenedMagda walked over to Pyro and sat next to him, reaching her hand out to rest on his shoulder. She didn't know the young man well, but she knew how it felt to loose a mother. The words had not been easy to tell him. I thought someone should tell you that you're mother has died. They hadn't been easy, but she wanted to be the one to do it. She wanted to soften the blow that he would feel. Even if he didn't have anything to do with her, the woman had still been his mother.
Pyro, or John as he had been before, lived on this island with Erik and the others. She had lived here as well since Poland happened. Erik had thought she and their daughter Nina had died, but they hadn't. Over the two years since then, Magda had made a little place for herself as the human on an island of mutants. She had worked hard to try to make herself useful. "I'm sorry." she whispered.

Pyro setting: genosha timeline: au notes: none!
| Pyro watched Magda as she approached him and he could already see on her face, that something was wrong. He wasn't exactly a touchy feely sort of person but he didn't pull from her touch when she placed her hand on his shoulder. Her words however, caused him to freeze. His mother was dead. Pyro wasn't sure how to react. He knew the normal reaction was to cry; it was after all his mother. But he had shut his feelings off towards her for so long . . . anger, bitterness and resentment replacing love, affection and care. He abruptly stood up and casually shrugged his shoulders, putting his hands in his pocket as nonchalantly as he could. As if the news had not just been devastating. "I'm not," he stated when she offered her condolences by saying she was sorry.
"She's already been dead to me for a long time." He knew the words were harsh, and he purposely made them so. Because just as it always had been, it was a defence mechanism. A way to shut himself off from truly opening the dam of emotions and the onslaught of sadness that threatened to take him over. He knew his family had given up on him long before he had them . . . but they had been alive. There was a strange comfort in that, despite the hypocrisy when it came to his hatred of homo sapiens. But now hearing that she was no longer alive . . . he found himself fighting back the seemingly normal reaction of crying.

'Cause with the all that has happened
He stood up, and Magda knew enough to understand he was trying to be strong. While it wasn't the same way Erik had done in their youth, she had seen men struggling with the aftermath of the worst that could be done to a living creature--human or mutant. It was one reason she so easily understood everything Erik stood for, and needed to do. She knew all too well what happened if no one stood up. No one stood up for them. Erik would stand for them now.
So she didn't take offense when John pulled away. Pushing up to stand, a little slower then he did from both her age and her heart being heavy for him. "That is fair." She admitted, not going to deny that his mother hadn't been a mother to him at all--at least she assumed now. She didn't know John's story. Not well. But she had come to think of many of the youth here as precious to her. Even if they didn't let her close.
"But I know still, that there was some years before she sent you away that she was a good mother to you. It's ok to hurt for the loss of someone, even if you are no longer close to them. It's not easy to have the memories and know that someone you once loved, or maybe loved still, is gone." Magda had always been able to say things close to her heart with ease, unlike many here. The hurt and the abused. She hoped hearing something like that, let him know it was ok to feel.
