Once again, in the infirmary

[Filtered away from Alpha and Victor]

[She's embarrassed and horrified and more sorry than anyone can know. But she puts on the brave face like a good X-man, and ends up just looking tired.]

Ah'm really gettin' tired of wakin' up in here. Tell me this place gives vacation time.

[Private | Charles]

Thank you. [So much relief and gratitude in those two words.]

[Private | Beatrix]

Ah'm more sorry than Ah can say. Ah understand if ya need ta kick mah ass.

[Private | Kara]

Kara.... Ah'm so sorry.

[Private | Arthas]

That was me. But Ah apologize just the same.

[Private | The Emperor]

Ah'm sorry for what Ah did. Ah couldn't control it. Is yer friend all right?

[Private | Ned]

Tell me he's in Zero and ya destroyed that damn thing.

[Private | Erik, a bit later]

Ah hate ta ask, but... feel like playin' hero for me again? Ah don't think Ah can sleep if Ah'm alone right now.

If you want to make it up to me, let me into Zero.

[There's a pause.

Because she wants to. She really, really wants to.]

Ah can't.

I won't hurt him. As far as you know, anyway.

Yes, ya will. Ya've got a thing 'bout mind control.

[She winces. She shouldn't have said that. Well, he'd have found out what her powers did sooner or later.]

Who have you been talking to?

Didn't talk ta anyone. What Ah did ta ya.... The way Ah used mah powers on ya, Ah basically got a copy of yer mind inside mine now.

...

...Take it out. Now.

If Ah could, believe me, it'd be a lot quieter in here. [She taps her temple to illustrate where she means. If only Charles or Jean were more at the level she was used to. Then she could honor the request.]

It's...not like Ah'm thinkin' what you're thinkin' right now. It's more like that last flood only...on a larger scale. They're like memories now.

That's not something you need to... tolerate.

It's just how mah powers work. Ah'll meditate for a while, try ta get some organization in mah head, and then it'll get a little quieter. If not less crowded.

Again, Ah'm sorry. Ah'd change it if Ah could.

No. I'm sorry.

Ah'm real sure you're not at fault here, darlin'.
