Present
She hadn't expected to survive Alkali. There are more things to life than survival, like unfinished business.
Its possible one day Erik will send her to her death, he'd mourn her.
She takes comfort in that.
Erik is beside her, covers up to his neck. Mystique watches his hand twitch, reacting to minute shifts she cannot sense. It has been terribly still.
She closes the cold space between them, leaning down to kiss his eyes, coaxing him into sleep. When his arms settle around her she sighs and closes her eyes.
All said and done.
Its good to be home.
