flash/mk: x-mansion Who: Flash & MK Where: X-Mansion When: a couple hours after getting MK safely to the mansion What: making sure she's okay Warnings: tbh
Flash didn't really want to fucking be there. He knew he had to, he knew that MK didn't have a lot of people with their head on straight, but the mansion freaked him out. It was hard for the dudebro to describe, but the mansion felt like it was built on too much history, that too much shit could go wrong within the walls and that mutants would have resented him if they knew his relationship with his own powers. For them, mutation was life changing and incurable. They couldn't leave the powers behind to live normally, they couldn't turn it on and off like Flash could.
To him, Venom was sometimes an addiction, sometimes a crutch, sometimes a friend. He needed it, he relied on it and at the end of the day he felt like he was nothing without it. And sure, there had to be mutants that felt similar things, but when he walked the halls, he saw self-loathing and unsure fear more than anything. And, he knew that was how MK would feel. He knew this was a burden and that if she even cared an ounce what Adam thought, it'd be something he'd kill her for. Something he'd hate her for.
Flash was true to his word, though and he promised to make sure MK was alright before bouncing. She was put in a room upstairs and after making sure she wasn't hurt, left alone. Flash kept his suit on in case something went bad (Venom: fire bad, fire BAD and we're here in the fire house why?) and he needed to get out of there with as many innocent kids as possible. He wasn't too worried about that, though. Jean Grey could take MK in a fight. Jean Grey could burn the whole fucking world down if she walked.
After a couple hours of waiting outside of MK's door, he knocked on her door to see if she was awake. "Hey, it's Flash Thompson." The last name added in case she knew some other Flashes.
