[She's said that she knows a Magneto; her world has mutants, and she knows them all here. She's familiar with a situation, but totally different one. She's offered reasons to be invested, but only a fraction of them.
And the answer is critical and vague at once. Not the way she pictured it, and yet - not quite as Raven is presenting it, either. Wanting safety in a way that excluded Charles's vision, a vision where humans had a place other than the past, that put him beyond it, whoever made the actual call, it's what she's always been afraid of. It's more than protection, even though she understands the terrible fear of the inevitable clash.
She thinks about asking what Erik wanted, to offer isolation with eradication as the only unspoken alternative in which humans and mutants were not in the world together. But Raven's answered that question already, it would be protection again, and Anya doesn't want to push too hard. She'll ask Charles, later, hopes that he'll tell her.]
I'm sorry. I didn't know. They...reconciled, before I got here, I guess.
[Because rejection hurts, and she knows that well enough.]
