Magneto's gaze met Mystique's, an unspoken understanding passing between them. Her shapeshifting prowess held the secrets of countless identities, but there were truths that transcended even her masks.

"If I am honest with you, Mystique, in the case of our current enemy, I am not one to mind the blood splatter. Their blood is as difficult to remove as it is to remove them."

By now, their counterpart in the battle will have cleansed the blood of the mutants from themselves. They would scream at the stains, Magneto images, not much different than Lady MacBeth in her hysterics and madness.

The distant echoes of battle reached their ears, the cries of mutants and the clash of powers punctuating the air. Magneto's gaze returned to the field, where metal danced to his command and the currents of the earth responded to his will.

"Blood, once spilled, leaves a mark on history, a mark that will forever remind them of the defiance they faced. Let them remember the price of standing against us."

He didn't need to see it to know the struggle. The stain of guilt, the weight of lives lost—these were burdens borne by all who took up arms in this fight. Mystique's ability to blend and deceive was matched only by the veracity of her observations. And she could observe his hold on the lines he delusioned himself with not crossing, being obliterated.

💬 RAVEN: i want to talk to you about something. 💬 RAVEN: pick your brain, if you’d let me. 💬 RAVEN: i can buy you a mean brunch in ankara. 💬 RAVEN: it’s about your wife. 💬 RAVEN: no, actually. just your love for her.

@toshapeshift asked:

"Feel That?"

Johnny gasped sharply, body tensing  as he felt Mystique’s gloved hand slip easily down the front of his jeans. Her breath hot on his ear as the question left let lips, body cuddled up nice and close to his own. Was he that easy to read? Did she notice his mind had been elsewhere, that he was in dire need of such a distraction? Hell, maybe she needed it, too. Johnny cracked a grin, a pleased rumble of a moan catching in his throat as he turned his head to nip at her chin playfully.

“Sure do...” he purred in response, pressing into her touch, lips already trailing along the curve of her throat. “...I missed you, too.”

“i just wonder why you’d wanna stay.” @toshapeshift​

It’s a valid statement. Gotham has one of the highest crime rates in the country. In dark, grimy alleyways, what waits for you on the other end could be your demise. Muggings, murders, kidnapping, robberies---all of this and worse are a part of the average news cycle, and GCN has no problem broadcasting it all to the city’s population in a never ending loop of misery. 

“The best and worst of my life has happened here,” he murmurs quietly. Pensive stare watches the foot traffic below them, couples huddled together against the chill and dock workers making their way home from a late shift. “Too many moments to walk away from.” A beat of silence passes before he speaks again.

"A couple blocks in that direction,” he nods his head northwest, “is an ice cream shop, one my parents would take me to. Special occasions. Good grades. Just because.” He doesn’t look at Mystique as he recounts this story, eyes focused on some point in the distance instead. “When I broke my leg and couldn’t go, my father hurried as fast as he could to bring me some.” 

The corner of his mouth twitches, but he can’t quite bring himself to smile. It hurts too; the remembering. “It was almost entirely melted by the time he got home.” Grief stings him at the memory, prickling across his chest and threatening to break him if he lets it. A tense muscle in his jaw flexes as he swallows it all back down, burying it beneath his purpose.

“There are good people here. Innocent people.” Like the people on the street below heading home or getting a bite to eat, the family owned bodegas still open late to serve the public. Thousands of different lives going on separately yet intrinsically intwined with every person they meet in their day to day lives.

He meets her gaze then, steadfast. “If everyone standing between them and the gangs, the crime lords, the mob abandons Gotham, the city really will eat itself alive. I can’t allow that to happen.”

@toshapeshift​ made my spider-sense tingle: ❤ rolls in, write abt me pls (( i've had a terrible week and yes i know it's only tuesday ))

send ‘❤’ + a url & i’ll write positivity / what i think abt them.

  EM! Okay, we’ve followed each other for years and I cannot sing enough praises for your mystique. the amount of knowledge that you have of her is insane. I like that so much of what you draw on is from her own history, or from your knowledge of the character as a whole. there’s not many (if anyone) else that I could see writing her as well as you do. you don’t shy away from things she’s done, but you also can show a less villainous side to her too. I give major props to anyone who can write a villain or anti-hero character. I love that you’re so willing to write with people and try and work things in without compromising your character, or theirs. you’re also just so approachable and kind?? it’s funny, cause you’d look at mystique and be kinda intimidated. but you’re exactly the opposite. you’re so fun to talk to, you’re funny, and you actually get invested in your partner’s too. you’re never above talking about stuff that’s bothering someone, or even just talking about stuff going on at work.

also just on a side note, but you’re so good at adapting your character for different verses too?? I love seeing how you’ll write with other fandoms and still keep core aspects of mystique intact. bottom line, 10 out of 10 character and writer. and I’m so thankful that I’ve gotten to get to know you over the years and write with you <3

Being caught in the rain, so thoroughly soaked probably should have garnered more of a reaction out of Atieno. But despite their window shopping with Mystique being ruined by the change in weather, they seemed more relaxed than anything else. They moved quickly and quietly with their friend towards the overhang of the theater so that the pair could at least get something of a reprieve from the sudden change.

Atieno couldn’t help but smile when Mystique confessed that she loved the rain. “I find myself enjoying it a lot as well. Something about the way that it falls can be really nice to witness. And even getting caught in it doesn’t bother me too much - the feeling of the rain on this form can be pretty pleasant.“

@toshapeshift​ asked:

❛ you’re interesting and different and i like that. ❜

she takes the words as a compliment  ( how could she not? ), but to be frank - riza does not know what to do with this information． she's only been called different and interesting be the one person she's not allowed to acknowledge． how ironic that the second time comes off as more of a surprise than the first one．

“ thank you but i'm just a soldier, really．”

[sebastianshaw]

❛ why are we constantly misunderstood? ❜

"Are we though, Ms. Darkholme?" Shaw asked, his hands clasped behind his back, his back towards the woman. A dangerous thing. "In my experience, others find you and I to be...untrustworthy. Cruel. Ruthless. Self-serving." He turned to her, his grin a proud bearing of teeth, "In other words. . .I think they understand us perfectly."

“ tonight won’t be easy and you know that. ”

@toshapeshift // mystique.

''i do.''  was he glad that she at least gave him that much credit?  charles turned to give the shapeshifter an ambiguous glance of acknowledgement, before turning back to adjust his tie in the mirror.

''... of course, i try not to presume to know how things will turn out. i've done this for long enough to know the folly of attempting to predict the future with any measure of accuracy ... i make an educated guess. the rest is just intuition and experience.''

he sighed.

''erik invited wanda to the gala, effectively creating a lose - lose scenario. either she shows up, and we have 12 hours at best before the news gets out to the rest of krakoa. or ... she doesn't show.''   and he deals with a moody magneto for 12 hours.  either way, nobody wins.  it reminded him of another similarly perilous scenario he and his compatriot had a hand in creating.

'' -- how are YOU? have you picked out your outfit for the ball?''

he didn't ask about her date. that would be cruel.  events and social situations like this could dredge up a lot of memories and sentimentality.  and charles xavier, of course, wasn't trying to be cruel.   they will both go without a date, he thought, both as lonesome as themselves and what they were -- a mindreader and a shapeshifter in a crowded room -- their SOLITUDE as subtle and as necessary for the good of the collective.

@toshapeshift​​ sent a meme: 👀

“Don’t be coy, Raven. You know I find you beautiful. Why wouldn’t I?”

A pause.

“Outside of your actual abilities, which I would kill for, by the way.” At this point, he starts gesturing points with a simple extension of each finger. “One, you have a face of an experienced, just-retired -- no offense -- supermodel. Two, you actually know how to dress yourself; some of those dresses are amazing, and I know you don’t play thrifty.  Three: You’re a nice kind of blue, less garish than your son. Four: The body. Five: What was it you told me, once? You’re ‘old enough to be my mother’.”

How is sex with Mystique?

[boohms]

@toshapeshift – " you're stressing over nothing. "

He shakes his head in disbelief, prying his eyes off the body lying on the ground. The man is on the verge of unconsciousness and if they’re not quick enough, he could die. At that moment, two things burden Jet. First, a man’s death will be on his – nope, their – hands (he wouldn’t care if the man was at fault, but the man is merely an innocent bystander). Second, as much as the adage says ‘there’s no such thing as bad publicity’ – this is bad publicity. “Of course I have to stress,” he says. “This can’t be traced back to me or I’m screwed.”
