Welcome Home (Jackie, open)

Jackie didn't move when he approached, touching her cheek and hair like he had done countless times before. Only this time, she noticed the slightly different smile of his, and smiled faintly herself. Each time he touched her, it always seemed he grew a little more affectionate in his own way, which made her heart race. Trying to stop the feeling from surfacing, she took her usual, logical approach.
"They must have also thought no one would be able to discover how to run the Sentinels." A short pause. "Of course, I don't think they suspected one of their own, former or current, to be the one to do it."

"Indeed, and that's what makes them even more foolish, and stupid." he smiled, "But we won't activate it ourselves until we learn that our other place has been compromised. It will be our..."home away from home"."

He smiled as he walked behind her, grabbing the handles of her chair and pushing her around the lab. He showed her everything that was inside, from the interrogation rooms to the rooms where mutants were placed in isolation. He had fond memories of the lab, and after he had made their way around, he looked to her.

"What do you think of our new home, my dear?"
