Pietro had been staring at him since the end of the battle. Magneto pretended to ignore him, but it was getting harder and harder as his son quickly changed the angle of his head every three seconds to get a better look. He finally had enough of this.
"Just say it, Pietro."
"What's that grotesque thing you've done with your head?"
"I shaved it, isn't it obvious?"
"Yeah, but why? Are you feeling old? Do you miss the days when you were a baby? Are you trying to look like Xavier? Or are you just trying not to look like me?" asked Pietro, frowning. Magneto rolled his eyes.
"Can't a man simply want to change his looks?"
Pietro scoffed. "Anyone else, sure, but you? You never do anything without a reason. You just look ridiculous like that; you have to know baldness does not suit you. So why would you do it? Does shaving your head enhance your magnetic powers? Does it help your helmet stop telepaths from messing with your mind? Did you lose a bet? Was it one of your insane lovers that demanded it?"
Magneto just walked away.
"JUSTTELLMEWHY!"
A.N.: I just find it absurd that simply no Marvel characters have even mentioned Magneto's new looks (white uniform? bald head? naked arms?) in passing, so I wrote this silly, but hopefully fun piece to try to deal with it. I don't think I'm ever accepting what they have done to the character in the past year, both in looks and character development, so this is mostly my attempt to cope with that, if that's even possible.
Just one thing: I'm not baldphobe, or whatever the word for those who hate bald people is. I simply think that doesn't fit Magneto at all and that Marvel is making a mistake in keeping him that way. Luke Cage looks sexy bald; Baldneto just looks like a geriatric baby. I miss his silky white locks...
