I'm probably being silly and over-protective, and I know Remy isn't a threat to the kids, at least not in the usual way, but Jubilee mentioned spending a lot of time with him, and I'm... concerned. Mainly because the kid's got enough issues of her own to worry about, and I'm not sure spending quality time with someone as disturbed as he is is a good idea. Especially considering the other night at Harry's. Not that I want to isolate the poor bastard either, I just... I don't know, something is bugging me. Feel free to tell me I'm being parnoid.

Pete, you've talked to him a few times, and you have a better idea of how his mind works - does any of this bother you? I trust your spookly-enahanced guidance counsellor instincts...

I asked Cain to keep an eye on things when Miles was around, the last time LeBeau came back. Though honestly, it didn't have all that much to do with his background (we've got a few of those here, after all) and it had a hell of a lot more to do with my own experiences with the man. And how he thinks in general, because oi the doom and gloom and overweening paranoia is a tad bit tiresome after a while. Yes, I actually said that. :p Anyway. Vague dislike probably isn't enough to justify requiring he never be around Miles. And while I had proof of the sociopathic mindset from Sarah, I don't from him and the fact is he doesn't have nearly the influence on Miles that Sarah had. Try none in fact. So.

Erm. In short. Ex-assassins are a dime a dozen here. Whatever. But anyone ever telling me that LeBeau could be a good influence on Jubilee's delicate and tender psyche is going to get only one answer from me. "What, are you on crack?"

Of course, if she wants to se him and thinks he's cool, she'll do what she wants. Trying to stop her will only egg her on. Telling her it's dangerous will only egg her on. Telling Jubilee to do anything right now would probably be counterproductive.

I'm sorry. I'm not helping much, am I?

Thanks, Ali. I sort of thought the same thing myself, especially the last bit, but I was hoping for an excuse to go all Mama Bear any way.

*sighs* What is with Jubilee and the self-destructive behaviour? Because that's what this is - I know she's started smoking, and I doubt Amanda was her role model there. And you're right about the way Remy thinks - I got treated to the whole show last week. Oh well, at least I know now and can try and keep an eye out for her. He has stopped the indiscriminate sleeping with the students, hasn't he?

You're being paranoid. Doesn't make you wrong, though.

Of course LeBeau shouldn't be around impressionable kids. Nor should I, and nor should Nate, and nor should about two thirds of the staff.

I'm not helping, am I?

I don't think he'd want to be a bad infulence, let's put it like that, and I'm not worried about him teaching her to kick people's heads in for fun and profit. If you're that worried, talk to him, tell him you're worried that Jubilee is impressionable and might be looking at him for a role model. The thought'll probably horrify him the same way it would me.

Pete.
