If someone you loved was dying, would you kill someone else to buy back their life?
Emma Frost. When most people hear this name, they immediately think of an icy cold bitch who's stunningly beautiful, and horribly stuck up. Well...I am stunningly beautiful, and I honestly don't care if it's because of plastic surgery. I am what I am, and what I am is painfully beautiful. And stuck up? Honestly, darling, I'm a Frost. Who do you exactly expect me to be? Bloody Jean Grey-Summers? I should honestly hope not. Just because I'm in a relationship with her husband doesn't mean that I'm going to be here. Honestly, the only similarities we have are the fact that we're both powerful telepaths, we were both in love with the same man, and we were both possessed by the Phoenix force. Oh, and we were both part of the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club for a bit. But really, that's where the similarities end, darling. At the end of the day, I'm everything that she could never be.
But I get ahead of myself.
If Scott Summers was dying...would I kill someone else to buy back his life?
Well, first of all, let me say this: I love being an X-Man. Despite appearances and certain teammates, being one means an awful lot to me. After all, it's the one way I can use to make the world better for all mutantkind. But...and there always is a but, isn't there, darling...but at the same time...I love Scott Summers. Maybe just a little more than I love being headmistress of Xavier's Institute for Higher Learnig.
So, would I kill someone to buy Scott's life? Are we forgetting that I am a former villain? I certainly hope not. Of course I would kill someone else if it meant buying back Scott's life. After all, darling, it's part of my inner nature.
But realize this...I am a reformed villain. I have my boundaries now...my limits. I wouldn't blindly kill...if it was someone on my team. someone like Charles or Henry, I would try to find another way. Any other way, really. I wouldn't kill someone who mattered to me, or to Scott, or to my teammates. On the other hand, if you asked me to kill someone like Sabretooth or even Dr. Kavita Rao, well...yes. I supposed I would happily plunge a knife into their chests if it meant bringing Scott back.
And yet...this is me...thinking somewhat emotionally. I am a telepath. With the death of Jean, I am also now the world's second most powerful telepath. I can fool nearly anyone. Except Xavier. If Scott was kidnapped by some supervillain and I had to kill someone to buy Scott's life back, do you honestly think I couldn't fool even Magneto?
Please. He's kitty litter in front of me.
Then again, I might just take the life of the person threatening the life of my love.
