Marcos felt betrayed. For years, he and Lorna had been inseparable. They had shared laughs, secrets, and adventures together. But all that changed that fateful day.

Lorna had decided to join the Hellfire Club, a dangerous and feared gang in the city. Mark couldn't believe it—how could Lorna choose that dark path instead of staying with him so they could have Dawn protected?

He sat in his room, staring at the picture of the two of them together. He remembered how they used to walk in the park before the chaos started, laugh carefree, and dream of a future together. Now, all that seemed so far away.

Marcos couldn't help but feel abandoned. He wondered what he had done wrong and what had led Lorna to make that decision. Hadn't it been enough for her?

Anger and sadness gripped Marcos. He had to do something to keep them safe; he knew Dawn should not be in that place, as she was more likely to be in the sights of enemies.

He decided it was time to look for answers and, if possible, take his daughter with him. He knew where to find them, so he went to the place, but instead of confronting her, he decided to observe from a distance.

He saw how Lorna looked like she belonged there and how she was developing. He wondered if he had ever really met her. Was this the real Lorna? Or had she simply been swayed by the influence of her new "friends"?

Mark stood there, hidden in the shadows, watching Lorna as she interacted with the members of the Hellfire Club. He wondered how it had come to this—how the girl he had fallen in love with had ended up like this.

For several more days, Mark continued to go, needing to carefully observe everything. As time passed, Marcos began to notice a change in Lorna. Her gaze became colder and more distant, and her laughter was no longer sincere.

He knew he had to act, not only for his own sake but for Dawn's as well. He couldn't allow his little girl to be exposed to that dangerous environment.

He decided it was time to talk to Lorna, to try to make her see the reality of the dangers Dawn was exposed to. Although it seemed that all communication was impossible, she wouldn't even return his calls.

The last time he went to spy on her, he noticed that Lorna seemed distant; something strange was going on, although he didn't know if she talked to him. He wasn't sure if she would be able to forgive him. However, what worried him more now was Dawn's safety.

Mark knew he had to somehow get Dawn to safety, but he couldn't be alone. He was sure he needed help to change her mind; he had to go get the rest of the team.

It took him a couple of hours to get back. As soon as he entered his bedroom, he got a big surprise: there was Dawn. Next to her was a note where Lorna asked him to take care of her; later, she would explain what had happened.

Marco was worried about what would happen to Lorna.

What is your favorite?

Polaris making an Aurora :)

Although the astute observer may note that this art only has one character in it, it was in fact made for the Marvel Rare Pair Bingo. The concept is that this is in the Gifted universe, in an AU from mid-season 2.

Lorna has followed fully in her father's footsteps - a path where Marcos can't join her. But she still shines for him. Every night he watches the sky in hopes of seeing the shining light of his North Star.

me realizing that if they were willing to bring back Anson Mount as Black Bolt then basically nothing is off the table which means there's a slight chance I may see my beloved Marcos Diaz from the Gifted again.....and if we get HIM back then maybe eclaris back....please....

THE GIFTED ⇢ 2x10 | eneMy of My eneMy

Sean Teale + Emma Dumont in ‘The Gifted’

Marco Polo.

The Gifted headcanon I've kept to myself for far to long:

Sometimes at the Mutant Underground, people get bored.

So John and Sonya made a game early on when Marcos and Lorna started dating.

John, at any random and boring part of the day, would yell: "Marcos!"

And Sonya in return would yell: "Polaris!"

It quickly caught on, and at any slow part of the day, someone is bound to yell "Marcos!"

And a whole group of people within earshot are going to end up yelling "Polaris!"

And anyone within earshot of them will yell "Marcos!"

And it just keeps going.

There's a record for the longest it ever went on being three days, before someone finally told the others to shut the fuck up, some people were trying to sleep at night.

Andy is a starter of this often whenever he wakes up in the middle of the night. Reed, Caitlin, and Lauren have all told him to stop it, but he refuses.

Clarice has a thing for starting shit, so she's normally the one who yells "Polaris!" back at the stupid hours of the night.

"Stop instigating him." John often complains as he walks by with a big-ass coffee in hand, not having time to sleep with how busy he is.

Sonya has to throw her pillow over her head, wondering what the hell she'd done to start this.

Meanwhile, Lorna and Marcos themselves are actually very invested in this.

But Marcos wants to sleep at night, Lorna wants to yell shit late at night.

It wasn't so much fun though that one time they were doing the deed and somebody yelled back.

Marcos se sentía traicionado. Durante años, él y Lorna habían sido inseparables. Habían compartido risas, secretos y aventuras juntos. Pero todo eso cambió ese fatídico día.

Lorna había decidido unirse al Club del Fuego Infernal, una pandilla peligrosa y temida en la ciudad. Marcos no podía creerlo. ¿Cómo podía Lorna elegir ese camino oscuro en lugar de quedarse con él y que pudieran tener a Dawn protegida?

Se sentó en su habitación, mirando fijamente la foto de ellos dos juntos. Recordó cómo solían pasear por el parque antes de que el caos comenzara, reírse sin preocupaciones y soñar con un futuro juntos. Ahora, todo eso parecía tan lejano.

Marcos no podía evitar sentirse abandonado. Se preguntaba qué había hecho mal, qué había llevado a Lorna a tomar esa decisión. ¿Acaso no había sido suficiente para ella?

La ira y la tristeza se apoderaron de Marcos. Tenía que hacer algo para mantenerlas a salvo, sabía que Dawn no debía estar en ese lugar, ya que era más probable que estuviera en mira de los enemigos.

Decidió que era momento de buscar respuestas y si era posible, llevarse con él a su hija, sabía donde encontrarlas, así que fue hasta el lugar, pero en lugar de confrontarla, decidió observar desde la distancia.

Vio cómo Lorna parecía que pertenecía a ese lugar, la manera en la que se desarrollaba. Se preguntó si alguna vez la había conocido realmente. ¿Era esta la verdadera Lorna? ¿O simplemente se había dejado llevar por la influencia de sus nuevos “amigos”?

Marcos se quedó allí, oculto en las sombras, observando a Lorna mientras interactuaba con los miembros del Club del Fuego Infernal. Se preguntaba cómo había llegado a esto, como la chica de la que se había enamorado había acabado así.

Durante varios días más, Marcos continuó yendo, necesitaba observar cuidadosamente todo. A medida que pasaba el tiempo, Marcos comenzó a notar un cambio en Lorna. Su mirada se volvió más fría y distante, su risa ya no era sincera.

Sabía que tenía que actuar, no solo por su propio bien, sino también por el de Dawn. No podía permitir que su pequeña estuviera expuesta a ese ambiente peligroso.

Decidió que era hora de hablar con Lorna, de intentar hacerla ver la realidad de los peligros a los que Dawn estaba expuesta, aunque parecía que toda comunicación era imposible, ni siquiera le respondía las llamadas.

La última vez que fue a espiarla notó que Lorna parecía estar distante, algo raro estaba pasando, aunque no sabía si hablaba con ella… no estaba seguro de que fuera capaz de perdonarla, no obstante, lo que ahora le preocupaba más era la seguridad de Dawn.

Marcos sabía que debía de poner a salvo a Dawn, de alguna manera, pero no podría solo, estaba seguro de que necesitaba ayuda para hacerla cambiar de opinión, tenía que ir por el resto del equipo.

Le tomó un par de horas regresar, en cuanto entró a su recámara se llevó una gran sorpresa, ahí estaba Dawn, a su lado una nota donde Lorna le pedía que la cuidara, luego le explicaría lo que había ocurrido.

Ahora Marco estaba preocupado por lo que le pudiera pasar a Lorna.

"I know the perfect place for this occasion." Erik looked back at Charles. "A very romantic spot near the lake. If you have to propose, I suggest you do it there."

"Oh. Thanks." Marcos looked at Erik's hand and then straight into his eyes. "So does it mean you're giving us our blessing?"

"I cannot require you to ask my permission for her hand. Times have changed, women should decide for themselves. Besides, I have not been present in Lorna's life and she would only get upset with both of us if you did."

Marcos smiled, thus agreeing with his future father-in-law's words. For a moment they both seemed almost happy. Marcos did not realize what was coming but Wanda sensed it. She knew Charles did too, because he looked away, shaking his head. At the same moment, Erik tightened his fingers on Marcos' shirt and pulled him closer.

"But if you ever hurt her," he drawled through his teeth. "If I see a single tear on her cheek caused by you, I swear I will destroy you from the inside out, manipulating the natural iron within your blood."

"C-can you actually do it?"

"Yes," Erik smiled, "and I'm going to teach Lorna the same thing so she can finish you herself before I get to do it."

"Jesus Christ, Erik…" Charles shook his head again and again.

hello! this is a bit of random question but you're the biggest comics lorna stan i know so i'm curious... what did you think about marco/eclaris on the gifted, and how would you feel about him/it bleeding over to the comics? the show is long over now, so i don't necessarily think it's something marvel is likely to do, but i really liked him/them as a pairing (and imo it's way better than what 616 lorna has actually going for her re: romance). i don't know that much about lorna in the comics, though, so i wonder if it could even work out there, with her background being so different from the show

[So sorry it took me 37 years to respond to this, I hope you see it, anon.]

First, let me start with -

I have never been so flattered in my life, thank you 😭

Anyway, on topic.

I didn’t actively ship Marcos/Lorna in the show for personal reasons completely unrelated to the quality of the pairing, but I did love their dynamic.

Any adaptation would have to deal with certain issues of plot, but given a bit of creativity and the nature of comics that’s a pretty small hurdle. Since Marcos is original to the show, his backstory could be easily manipulated as necessary.

Easiest option, you just swap out “…and after becoming disillusioned with the cartel, Marcos was approached by Lorna Dane [and Proudstar] to join the Mutant Underground”, with “…after becoming disillusioned with the Thieves’ Guild, he was approached by Lorna Dane to join the X-Men,” and you’re pretty much good. (Or X-Factor Investigations, or the Krakoan citizenry, what-have-you. Whatever team she’s on at the time. If I had free choice I’d put him on one of the 2012-2015 X-Factor teams, but that ship has, y’know, flown.)

I think the aspects of their dynamic that I like in the show would actually translate over perfectly to the comics (and, uh, make for a better relationship than basically any other she has in the comics).

- Marcos respects Lorna, on all levels. He respects her physical power (and is fully aware that she is far more powerful than he is), but also -

- He respects her agency and right to choice. That’s, uh, something that tends to be an issue for Lorna, in the comics, from every side. The X-Men put her in a mutant-suppression collar; Magneto manipulates her and uses her as a battery; people on all sides keep alternately magically causing and “curing” her mental health issues; etcetera, etcetera. Beyond the mechanical use of powers to remove agency, most of her friends and family - and especially people she’s paired with romantically - tend to treat her as though she doesn’t have a right to free choice, or the capacity to choose “correctly”.

- He respects her as a person with a severe mental illness. He provides support as necessary, but also knows and accepts that not everything a mentally ill person feels or thinks is because of their mental illness - they can have “”“real””” emotions and thoughts too. And having an illness doesn’t mean a person should automatically be treated as incompetent to make decisions.

- He supports her, on all levels.

- He recognises that she is awesome and sexy and the absolute shiz and that is #relatable content.

- None of that means that the relationship is perfect and boring.

In fact, some of the things that make the relationship good are also the ones that, when taken too far, cause problems. Respecting your partner’s agency is great! But if your partner blows up a plane takes your kid and runs away to join a terrorist organisation… uh, an organisation that’s a bit further along on the freedom fighter to terrorist scale than yours is… it’s fair to request that a bit of discussion be had.

And he is, himself, very far from perfect, which is very Good And Important. They take turns reminding each other about that whole morality thing, and how ends do not necessarily justify means, but also sometimes you need to remember about the bigger picture and not sacrifice many people for a single person.

Which would fit perfectly with comics!Lorna.

(Overall, Lorna really doesn’t need to be in the ‘which one’s the crazy amoral one and which one’s the perfect long-suffering partner sacrificing for them getting nothing in return’ pairing cliche. And The Gifted did a fairly decent job of avoiding that, across the show as a whole.)

In conclusion look at this scene and picture how much better it would have been with Marcos “simp” Diaz instead of Alex “can’t remember my girlfriend’s a girlboss bc I’m too busy hanging out on my undeserved moral high-horse” Summers. Thank you
