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.

Ah'm sure he's got a technical term for it, but from mah perspective, he tore apart the structure of mah mind. Ah was overwhelmed by somewhere above a hundred personalities that are stuck mah head.

[She is so angry, so mentally wounded, and she hurt people she cares about. There wasn't an easy way to describe what all he'd find to her. ]

I see.

[That pain and that helpless anger is so apparent, and Beatrix feels the echoes of it herself. Part of her still wants to pummel Rogue for the betrayal, but now darker designs are forming in her head.]

[la_belle_rogue]

[ No. You don't, Beatrix. But that's okay. You really don't want to know. Not really. ]

Ah can see the wheels turnin'in yer head, sugah. Anythin' Ah should know about?

[deadliestviper]

I'm not going to kill him, if that's what you're asking.

[private]

[la_belle_rogue]

No, if that's what Ah was askin', Ah'd have said "anythin' Ah shouldn't know about".

[private]

[deadliestviper]

Then you should know I hope he finds a way to atone for what he's done.

[private]

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah don't think he really cares. That's gotta happen first.

[private]

[deadliestviper]

Yes, it does.
