I do not own X-Men: Days of Future Past

The movie was freaking awesome though!

Blue to Blue

Their eyes met across the vast void of space and time between them. And all the rest of the screaming world faded, just for a single, lingering moment.

He spoke first, without words. It was all there in his bright blue eyes.

I see you.

And she replied silently to him, squinting her astonishing yellow cat orbs.

I know.

I remember you.

I remember you too.

Before all the hate. Before the killings. Before all the fear. I remember you.

Yes. I had hope then. And you had Twinkies.

I remember the Twinkies.

I remember the pain of your needle.

I remember you sitting on my lap like it was no big deal.

I remember pretending I didn't notice how uncomfortable you were.

I remember offering you what I thought was an escape, a way for you to be happy.

I remember the rejection you gave me and my blue form.

I know. I'm sorry.

I know. Me too. Can you see my beauty in blue yet?

Yes, I can now. Can you see mine?

I always could.

I know. You were the first.

I know.

I remember your eyes looking at me. Really seeing me. Me, upside down. Me, hanging from the plane wing like a silly monkey.

I remember your sweet blush.

I remember your open, accepting smile.

I remember your shame of your blue fur. You were perfect.

I remember your encouraging words. They were perfect.

It was so long ago. And now everything is ruined.

You don't have to leave.

Yes, I do.

But we could be . . .

No, we can't. But I wish we could.

Please, don't do this.

I have to. It's just me now. I'm all alone.

No, you're not. I'm right here.

No, you're not. You're way over there. On the opposite side. You're with them.

You can be here too.

I can't. I have more work to do.

Can't there be another way?

No. I miss you.

I know. I miss you too.

We're on opposite sides now.

Yes. Come to me. Stay with us. And you won't have to be alone anymore.

I can't.

You are in me. Your DNA, your blue mystery. It's a part of me now. Forever.

I know. But you've been hiding again.

But I'm not now. I'm right here.

I know.

Raven –

That's not my name.

Mystique. I'll always be here.

I know.

Even when you were with him, I was here. I'm still here. For you.

I know. But I can't.

And then the moment passed. And the world ripped them apart all over again.

I really hope this makes sense. Because when I saw it in the movie (along with every dang thing else), my mind went absolutely haywire. It was so beautiful to me.

I wrote this in my car on notebook paper with a blue pen. Because that's all I had. Just like it's all they have. Blue to Blue.

I know some people think Mystique was looking at Charles at the end and not Hank. I think she was looking at both in different ways. That's just me.
