*his expression suddenly still, his voice suddenly burning cold*
...there is so much. So, so much.
Vanya to be able to protect herself. The others to be able to protect themselves. You having the power to see your plans through. To have that power be accepted by the other mutants here, because now you know what it's like not to be alone. Acceptance. Not in the sense of liking or even tolerance, but... acknowledgment. To be seen. And then not be denied. From them. Your daughter. Me. And that same kind of acceptance extended to others.
You want something great. You want the world.
But you want safety. God, do you want safety. And there is nothing smaller than that.
