[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.

He's in Zero. I think...Dean, or, or Erik was going to take it apart.

I'm sorry.

[Private]

[la_belle_rogue]

[She really wants Erik to take it apart. He'll make sure it's good and broken.]

So am Ah. Have ya got somethin' more planned for him? Because gettin' a time out is really not good enough. [And she's trying really hard to find a reason not to beat the ever loving fuck out of your inmate.]

[deadly_ned]

Yes.

The Zero part wasn't the punishment. It was more of a way to keep him out of the way while we searched for you.

[Private]

[la_belle_rogue]

[A miserable sounding laugh.]

Ah got real easy ta find.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

I wasn't there to see.

[Private]

[la_belle_rogue]

Feel thankful for that. [It was bad, Ned.] Figure somethin' out for him. Cuz Ah'm doin' the best Ah can ta stay away and not get him sent ta the infirmary himself.

[Private]

[deadly_ned]

I already have. He's my responsibility.
