Destiny leaned into Mystique’s embrace. This was what she wanted for all eternity. Just this– to be near to her beloved.

Destiny could see the web of fate before her, and all the twists and turns that it could take, and every time she chose the branch that would give her more time just to savor this experience.

She would kill anyone she had to, just for a little more time. She would raze cities to glass. She would boil oceans to dust. She would put a knife in the back of anyone in her way. 

For this. For her.
