[That gets a sort of amused half smile from him.] I think so.
[And it's occurred to him that he isn't upset about it. He can remember sitting across from Erik and leaning forward and telling him, believing every word of it that killing Shaw wouldn't bring him peace. And it hadn't, that much is obvious, but what were their other options? Shaw wouldn't have been held by any facility the government would have been able to create, especially not with someone like Azazel on his side. And then what? He would have found another way of getting what he wanted, and could they have stopped him the next time?
Creed wasn't any different. He wouldn't have backed down, and he wouldn't have stopped hurting people. If they'd tried being gentle with him, they'd both be dead, and Rogue probably would be, too.
Maybe killing wouldn't bring them peace, but the altnernatives they'd been presented with were too costly. So no, he wasn't angry with Erik, and he felt like maybe that was alright.
Then there's the fact that he'd seen his friend conduct lightning, and how incredible was that?
There's a part of him that still really doesn't want to move, but he sits up quickly anyway, looking at Erik seriously.]
