CW: suicidal ideation.

[This kid is perceptive.

Scott is a little hesitant, considers for a moment giving an accurate but not full answer or just laying it out there. Because Kazu's radically more at ease and trying and it's not like there's anything terribly secret there. ]


When I was 8 there was a plane accident, that I thought killed the rest of my family. As the plane was going down my mom strapped my younger brother and I into a parachute and told me to take care of him.

I woke up a year later in an orphanage run by a crazy man and immediately took on trying to help a real shit of a kid who probably didn't actually exist given the level of manipulation he was capable of, and I definitely didn't like.

When I finally ran, I was picked up by a guy who used me in criminal activities.

By the time Charles picked me up I felt useless to the point of wanting to die. He sent me out to save other mutants in trouble and built a team who's purpose was doing that around me. Whether intentionally or not, it kept me alive.
