The charcoal stains are less apparent on his black khaki pants or the worn black running shoes below.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The hand Piotr had left on the desk clenched tightly into a fist at the mention of Illyana's name, and a noticeable look of disapproval spread across his face at the idea of her coming with them. Without a moment of hesitation, the gentle giant shook his head and firmly responded to Storm's idea, “If you ask me to go anywhere, to put my life on the line, then you know I would always do so to help those that need it.” Withdrawing his arms from the table and folding them in a show of stubbornness he continued, “But if you ask the same of my sister, then I need to know more about what it is that she would be facing.” While a great deal of his protectiveness towards his sister was simply the instinctual response he had towards guarding his relatives, there was more to his lack of enthusiasm than the bond of blood. Even as Illyana continued to show progress in controlling her powers with discipline and training regimen that Piotr was immensely proud in, the fear of the unpredictable nature of her powers had never stopped haunting him.<br/><br/>To his admittedly limited understanding of his sister's powers, a moment of dropped focus for Illyana could have potentially catastrophic outcomes. As Piotr understood it, every time she used her powers there was a small chance his sister could expose her mind to the horrific influence of some form of unknowable terrors beyond his comprehension, something that she had nearly succumbed to entirely in the past. He knew that she would have to face this risk at some point as she was intent on mastering her abilities and using them as a member of the X-Men, but he still had deep reservations about exposing her to anything that might test her concentration before she was as ready as was possible.<br/><br/>However, greater than his fear of something terrifying befalling his sister was his trust in Ororo. Her judgment and leadership had long allowed her team to meet with success and survival on countless occasions, and even when Piotr had disagreed with her plans, Storm's decisions were more often than not the best ones that could be made. Beyond that, Piotr knew that she would never think to to abuse his trust by doing something that would unnecessarily risk the life of the person he held most dear. If she told him that Illyana's presence was needed, then he would have faith in his long time comrade knowing what was best for his precious sister, but there would be little she could do to ease the immensity of consternation that he would endure as a result of it.
