Revenge
My wife left me, taking our daughter with her. Back to her home on the dark side of the moon.
The one place my feet can't take me.
There's so many reasons why she left. Some of which are stupid, some are her fault, some are mine. I'm not a perfect man, nor do I pretend to be.
But she took my daughter from me. I didn't get to see her grow up. I wasn't there for her first words, her first steps, to read her bedtime stories or teach her to wish upon the stars for her dreams to come true.
Every once and while, Crystal will grace her presence down to me, letting me see Luna for a few weeks. Like the time she was with the Avengers... and then Cortez had to go and kidnap Luna.
Crystal felt that Earth was too dangerous for Luna. She was a human, and Magneto's grandchild. She was safer on the moon. And that's where they kept her.
Of course, I had no say in that. I'm just her father, and it's my fault that Earth is dangerous for Luna. I'm Magneto's SON. Danger just follows me like a shadow.
So, don't blame me when I sit here and plot in my head ways to kidnap my own daughter. To take her far from my wife and her endless string of love affairs... take her to see the beauty of my world for once. To see the other half of her flesh and bones.
I missed the first ten years of my child's life. It's only fair that my wife miss the next decade.
... but there's one reason why I won't do it. Luna loves her mother. And taking her away would hurt my child, and the last thing I would ever want would be for Luna to hurt. So instead, I just sit here and plot revenge, but never act on it.
