It's not what you may be entirely comfortable doing, but I need you to be my Maid of Honor. You can think of it as a pun - Made of Honor.I promised myself I wouldn't post about this until I was calm. People in my wedding need to stop disappearing.
I hope your wedding plans are going swell.
Let's have a party :)
Before I'm too old to enjoy it.
→ Erik was instrumental in building a safe environment for unwanted or misunderstood children, helping them to hone their particular skills, gifts and abilities and making them feel loved and appreciated for who they are and the unique perspective they have to bring to the world.
No one understands what it is like to be ripped from their home and thrown into a new environment with little to no means of survival better than Erik does. He understands what it is like to be a victim of the Tesseract's whim and he understands how difficult it can be for refugees here.

I know this because I have seen him do this before.

It takes courage and determination to instigate change. And as the world is changing against us, it will take even more courage and determination to fight against those tides. As people continue to protest against the Potts Tower refugees, as residents here are losing their jobs because of the public opinion of White Event affected individuals -- we need a strong voice, and perhaps a strong hand to make sure that this discrimination goes no farther. To make sure that our rights and liberties are and will always be protected. So yes, it may mean a leader who is relentless, but isn't having someone relentless in our favour better than someone who will compromise with our freedom on the line?

I mean it. I'm pretty sure he stopped the Cold War.
