Email to Marie-Ange
To: [Colbert, Marie-Ange]
From: [Summers, Scott]
Subject: Re: I must be insane, to email you about this after being so adamant that I never would
Marie-Ange,
This isn't going to be quite as encouraging a reply as you hoped for, I suspect, but I'll do my best.
Before we start any sort of training of that particular sort with you, you do need to talk to the Professor and your parents. If they're not all in agreement with what you want to do, we can't do it. You're underage and wouldn't be doing anything with the training for a while in any case, but this is still a necessary first step. (Incidentally, this is not the sort of training I'm going to be doing with Doug, so there is not a flaw in my logic here, just in case you were about to point that out.)
Assuming that happens, then you and I need to have a very long talk. I'm not sure I'm confident that Doug's situation isn't influencing you unduly here; this seems, from my perspective, to be very sudden. I do understand that you've matured a great deal since you've been at the school and your beliefs when it comes to violence are different than they used to be. I think that was probably inevitable, given everything you've been through. But what you're proposing to do is something completely different than just reacting to say, an attack on the school. We need to talk, and there are a number of files and visual records you should probably see before you decide one way or the other.
That being said, until the decision's made, I would encourage you to keep up with your powers training. I know Nathan's probably got your precognition covered, but we should really work out something a little more formal for the other aspect of your mutation. Come and see me?
Scott
