Title: There is a war
Author: sionnain
Rating: PG
Fandom: X-Men, Movieverse. Follows the events of X3; contains spoilers.
Characters: Ororo (Storm) and Emma Frost.
Prompt: #78 The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be either good or evil.--Hannah Arendt.
Summary: Thanks to recent events, Storm finds herself in charge of the desperately under-staffed Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. It puts her in the uncomfortable position of having lunch with Emma Frost, a woman who never quite managed to choose a side.

AN: Many thanks to artaxastra for the beta! Written for the femgenficathon. I owe ion_bond thanks for helping me flesh out this idea. The title is a Leonard Cohen song, and the quote beneath the cut is from the same.

("Storm sits at the table alone, having arrived early to gather her thoughts, knowing that Emma would be late.")
