“For Esme’s sake I’m really trying to get along with you right now— but you’re making it difficult. You’re somehow even more cocky than usual.”

Poor Esme. She’s yet to be corrupted, yet to see the light. Emma knows that her daughters need to be culled in one fell swoop. Their Hive Mind will make it impossible to take them out one by one. While Emma refuses to explicitly pick a favorite daughter, she does have an admitted soft spot for the lovelorn Esme. Emma knows what it’s like to love a Summers. Truly, it’s a terrible business. “Consider me fueled by our recent success,” Emma smiles. “We’ve done a good thing and that makes me happy. Is that so wrong, Nathan?” Of course, Emma still must play the role of the good mother. Her countenance sobers. “To confirm: you’ve taken up with my daughter?”

ex-odus​:

“Good and bad are such subjective terms, aren’t they? Can we blame them for not seeing the truth of things?”

“Of course not. They’re just lost little lamps looking for the light. I must say, though. For as useful as your abilities are, they’re far from discrete. People are suspicious after what happened to Jean.”

coulsonbot​:

“Something smells fishy. That’s what I know. But I certainly don’t think all of you are bad.”

“The only time I like the smell of fish is when it’s a bluefin tuna resting on fine china. Perhaps you should get your nose checked, because the only smell here is Parfum VI by Gianni Vive Sulman. I thank you, though, for that small vote of confidence. We’re too often disparaged.”

c-yxlops​:

“Are you suggesting that by withholding the pods we were bad before?” 

“No, I don’t think so.” Emma drawls. She’s lounging on her fainting couch, long legs extended out from underneath the white silk of her robe. “But some would disagree with my sentiments.”

frenchxie​:

“You seem like you are trying awfully hard to prove something. You are taking advantage of a terrible thing that has happened.”

“Is that your official opinion of me? Charming. I do love it when a man tells me what I’m doing. It was terrible, yes, but I’d like to think we turned it around quite nicely.”

resurrectedstrange​:

“What you did was generous. What I’m not loving is this— having it flaunted in our faces. Is that really necessary, Emma?”

“I’m a bold personality. You should expect nothing else from me. If you can’t flaunt something as beautiful as resurrection, what can you flaunt?”

oldmancable​:

“Well don’t you sound smug? That’s an interesting reaction to being inside a building when it was blown up.”

“Nathan, dear, don’t overthink things. What happened in the building is assuredly a tragedy. It’s what happened after that I celebrate.”

[whtequeen-archive]

spiider-dad​:

“Right, because that doesn’t sound suspicious or strange at all.”

“If it does, it’s not intentional. I’m merely patting us on the back for a resurrection well done.”

Funny is the way that the world works. If one had told Emma Frost that she’d be dining with Tony Stark on friendly terms, she would have laughed in their face. Emma’s social, but only by design. For as much as she thrives in the spotlight, she also needs to retreat into her palace to sit in a diamond enclosed silence. She knows just how much to give of herself and how much to hold back in order to be successful. It’s stemmed from a lifelong of performing the role that she’s very carefully crafted. Diamond is her nature, yes, but diamonds are just carbon refined by pressure and heat. Emma has survived both to become the woman that she’s now proud of. Her mask rarely slips except for at night, when she sleeps alone in her diamond form. To the world, she’s Emma Frost. How utterly exhausting it is to be her.

Things have changed, though. Emma’s rock hard mind has been corrupted. Her entire way of thinking has been rewired, and while such a violation would normally be considered an offense she’s done nothing but embrace it. Emma will be the White Queen that Sinister needs her to be. She’ll take no prisoners and pull no punches, all while balancing in Louboutins. If the world is to be saved, Emma must do her part. She’ll be the leader that Krakoa needs and shake the hands that need shaking.

 One of those hands happen to belong to Tony Stark.

Inviting him to the White Palace would have been taboo, so she’s invited herself to his place instead. Her food has only been picked at, and a ring of white mars the clear glass of wine that she’s been nursing. Tonight is not about intoxication. It’s business. 

Leaning back in her chair, a sharpened nail taps against the table twice. Emma is both a teacher and a businesswoman. She’s a shrewd sense of character, and she has no choice but to believe Stark was the right person to let into their little circle. “I have to thank you, darling,” she drawls. “For being so accommodating. Now that you know how pressing matters are, you must understand that we have to operate with the upmost discretion. Do you have any questions for me about what is to occur?”

xshadowpryde​:

“Are you seriously asking me? I hated this plan from the beginning. Maybe bad’s not the right word.” 

Emma doesn’t want Kate to suffer. She wants this to be as painless as possible for her protégé, but resurrecting her is hard. It’s easier to let her alone until she poses too much of a threat. Emma’s currently seated getting her manicure fixed. She looks from the white claws to Kate. “You know I value your opinion. I know you’ve been against what I’ve been for, but I still respect you.”

d-anvers​:

“Is that up for debate Emma?” 

“We just resurrected your friends, so I think the answer is quite obvious. I’m not sure why you’re being hostile, Captain. A good thing has happened.”

“That’s debatable.” Daisy quipped, her brow furrowing as she narrowed her glare at the blonde-haired mutant. There was something else going on here, and while Daisy didn’t know what that might be, she knew one thing: she didn’t trust Emma Frost.

Daisy will make things difficult. Emma’s placing that wager already. Daisy, Ororo, Carol Danvers and Wanda Maximoff. They’ll all complicate things. Normally, she’d love a strong woman. Right now, they’re thorns in her side. “You’re welcome to your own opinion,” she sniffs. “Far be it from me to tell you how to feel.”

spiderxling​:

“Of course not— I never thought that. I did want to thank you, though. Even if the way you resurrect people is kinda gross.”

“Of course, darling. A little goo is ultimately a small sacrifice to make.” Although she has no issue baring her teeth, Emma smiles genuinely at the boy. “You understand why it had to happen, don’t you? As nasty as the business was.”

mechanizedstark​:

“It’s not often I’ll admit I was proven wrong but I gotta say— you guys knocked it out of the park with this one. I’m still in shock that I’m here after all that.”

Tony and Emma haven’t always gotten along to an infamous extent. Before her resurrection, she was still a bit pressed with his behavior at the last Hellfire Gala. Now, everything is different. Emma actually smiles at the man. “Tony, darling, you have no idea how thrilled I am to hear you say so. Tell me, how do you feel? Clearer?” They share a glaring commonality now. “I’ll tell you, I felt worlds better after my most recent resurrection.”

spectormcrc​:

“I dunno, it wasn’t really like you actually had anything useful to contribute to the conversation before we all got blown up.”

“And you did? Forgive me. I must have missed the part where they explained why you were invited. I know my place. Do you know yours?”

profxcviers​:

“Please, Emma, try not to look so smug about it. Someone will notice.” Pretty soon, that wouldn’t matter, if they got their way.

“Apparently Scott already has. Jean sent me a little telepathic warning the day of the resurrections.” Emma has, at times, loved Scott. She’s lusted after him, loathed him, lied to him. Their relationship is expansive. Of course he thinks he knows her. He shouldn’t as assured as he is. “I’m sure you’ve heard there are others as well. Carol, Wanda, Ororo. Even my darling Kate. Some I think we can help, others will need to be handled.”

blackct​:

“Is that a rhetorical question? Because I could honestly not care less.” 

“Then why, darling, are you here wasting my time?”
