What did you do? And since when can you even do stuff like that?

I did what needed to be done, same as I always do when someone needs a miracle in this place. Remy was dying, now he's not. I just had to use power from a different place than usual. Just something I picked up in my own study these last couple of months.

I'm sorry Frank died, but better the lizard than Remy. And maybe I should have asked, but I didn't have time. And it's not like I was asked before I got hauled off to save Alison's life back in July. They just dumped me there and expected me to give them a miracle. Like I could've said no, with all of them expecting it.

Remy's near killed himself for this place, keeping us safe. It's time this place gave him something back instead of grief.

I didn't go too far.

If you want to play the 'what if' game, what if we hadn't been able to stop Nate when he tried to kill the Prof? What if there had been people in the CoffeeQuake when the Jones kid adn his mates set it on fire? What if Lorna decided to come back here and finish the job on Remy and the rest of us? What if Charlie had been able to get through on the phone the night he killed himself? There's a lot of what ifs out there, Ange, and asking them doesn't make them happen. It didn't happen, so it's not an issue.

Of course I wouldn't think it was a fair trade if someone else had died. That was the whole point of grabbing power from a bunch of people - to make sure no-one died. Or maybe you agree with Nate, and think I should've poured everything I had into Remy and died myself?

A.

Subject: Thought so.

And what if that next time it's Paige? Or Bobby? Or Nate finally does the job proper and his dad's precious genes can't help? You want to sit back and tell me not to do anything because for once it's not my brain on the line? Maybe I should have let Alison die, like Strange told me I should have. Or Nate, any of those times I hauled back over the line. Or even you.

Still, it's all academic. I'm banned from the medlab, they've taken away my access to the medical journal - where they're probably telling all the helpers to run for security if they see me anywhere near the place - and depending on how long it takes the teachers and the X geezer to get their shite together, I'll either be thrown out, have an inhibitor slapped on me, or locked up.

Guess they've finally found one for the too hard basket. Been nice knowing you. Wonder what Istanbul's like this time of year?

"Expell" that is.

I'm not the one making a fuss here. I'm not the one who decided to haul my arse out of a concert so that I could try and put Alison back together after Sabretooth turned her into mincemeat, and let the whole 'going to Limbo and channelling demonic power for a Healing' slide without even a "are you all right? No lasting evil side effects?"

Oh, right. Big secret. Guess they'll have to add "breaking patient confidentiality" to the list of crimes.

But use the power from a bunch of people who for the most part would do it any way? That's an expellable offence. Nate's pretty much cast me from his sight, not that it makes a fuckload of difference considering my dearest fake-daddy hasn't even bothered to talk to me for a month and a half. No, I didn't ask permission. There wasn't _time_. Remy was _dead_, and they were giving up on him. He's the only person who doesn't try and make me into one of the Stepford Students, and was _gone_, and there's no way I was going to let that stand. End of story.

And I'd do it again if I had to. Only I'd use FoHers or something.

I was replying to the last bit, about me carrying on because I'd been told I shouldn't have done a healing. I'm not the one carrying on. So not ignoring every single word.

Alison got grabbed by Sabretooth. Sabretooth carved her up like a Christmas roast. I got dragged to help, I didn't have the power, so we used Limbo. Like me to use sock puppets to explain?

So what's the point of the X-Men, if people should be left to die? What's the point of the doctors? Should you have stopped me on the roof?

I have the ability to stop people dying. Yes, there's a price tag attached. Nothing comes fucking free. And tell me the truth, if it had been anyone else other than Remy I saved yesterday, would you be giving me this shite? Would you think you got better value for money?

I was being sarcastic. Considering the general opinion 'round here is that FoHers aren't human and all. And if you'd been in range in the lab yesterday, maybe I would have grabbed you too. Karma, old son. You're had the benefit, maybe it would have been time for you to put something back.

A.

Subject: I understand.

Draining life out of people without permission is bad. I could have killed someone, I could have killed one of the babies.

Only I didn't, and Remy's not dead. So I'm being punished for what I might have done, not what I did. Which is fucking hypocrisy, when you look at it - any one of us might go off the deep end and kill someone with our powers, but I don't see people being forced to wear inhibitors or being locked up for it.

All everyone cares about is that their precious Lorna's name stays clean and making out I did what I did 'cause I wanted to hurt people. Like nothing I've done for this place over the past couple of years doesn't matter. You know what? Fuck the lot of you.

And since you don't know me any more, I suppose we should end this conversation now. Before you grass me up to Summers for still using my computer.

Take care, big brother.

A.
