[someone has been trying to avoid you since you've change back]

... don't you already know because of your powers?

[mind_over_metal]

...hello, Vanya. I do know a lot. But there are some things that you can only know by asking.

[00_07]

That's good. I don't want you to know everything about me.

[mind_over_metal]

*gently*

And why is that?

[00_07]

You might get upset. And you'll know that I don't know what to do about my training now.

[mind_over_metal]

I know a lot about everyone, Vanya. I've had a long time to learn what is truly worth getting upset about. And sometimes, you have to upset people, just the same as you sometimes have to get upset, even if you don't want to. Even if they're people that you care about.

I'm rather cross with Magneto over what occurred with your training, but that's between the two of us. How do you feel about what happened?

*keeping a very close watch on her thoughts*

[00_07]

[her thoughts are just a complete mess of bad memories of Hargreeves and a mostly positive feelings about Magneto, along with a strong fear of everyone getting mad at her]

... I don't want to get hurt again.

[mind_over_metal]

No one can blame you for that, my dear. Sometimes we have to do things that hurt, but that should never be our ideal situation. Figuring out exactly what it is that we need can be very difficult. I know that I still have difficulty with it.

Eri- Magneto should have known better. Even though it's difficult for him sometimes, too. But he has more experience and is also in a position of responsibility.

[00_07]

He's going to hate me now, isn't he? I was afraid that you'd hate me too.

[mind_over_metal]

Why would you think that I'd hate you?

[00_07]

People are mad at Magneto and it's my fault.

[mind_over_metal]

*with a sudden sternness*

Never think that it's your fault for what another person chose to do to you. Magneto is a big boy and can take care of himself.

[00_07]

But I asked him to train me. I wanted his help.

[mind_over_metal]

You asked him to train you. He chose how to do it. And even if you had specifically asked him to hurt you, he could have chosen not to.

Believe me, it's good to take responsibility for things. And sometimes you have to take care of things that shouldn't be your responsibility. But another part of growing is developing the ability to discern what truly is your responsibility. And the ball was in Magneto's court this time.

[00_07]

He did something wrong, but I'm not really mad at him. Is that weird?

[mind_over_metal]

A little bit, perhaps. But it's understandable. He was sincerely trying to help you. His... methods could just use some serious improvement.
