I wish I could. Really I do. But there isn't a good explanation and nothing that makes what I've done less horrific.

I'm sorry. Christ, I wish I could really even begin to express how sorry and how much I wish I could take it back.

This has taken me hours to write. I just don't know how to say I'm sorry I killed your father.

I guess I just did.

I...I'll leave it at that then.

Forge,

Only one of the two of us doesn't belong here and it's not you. We can compare evils here and I'm going to win every time. You saved my life after I endangered yours.

Here's the thing. You saved us both and you didn't need your powers to do it. I know that seems strange to say because you had to build that in the first place. But your powers didn't make the decision not to give in. They're not who you are. They're part of you, sure, but if it was up to your powers we'd both still be in Tampa or worse.

Even if you don't think that you belong, that they're going to reject you, consider this. I begged Jean to let me die and she wouldn't.

This place won't let go, Forge. Homes never do.

Thank you for saving me. I'm sorry.

Hopefully this won't come a shock but everything I know, Magneto knows. Every security detail, every shift rotation, every training exercise. I read the progress reports and he knows those too.

What he doesn't know.

There isn't much. The students are mostly safe, he wasn't really interested in them. He also doesn't know that I'm going to make your life much easier.

I don't know if you're trying to sort out what to do with my team status. Don't. Let's just call my temporary hiatus a permanent one. The things that have become second nature now aren't suited for the team.

Professor,

I'd like to sit down and have tea with you sometime soon.

Len,

Some things have happened. I can't tell you about them but I need a recommendation from you for someone to talk to. Someone who can be trusted and will go through all the nonsense that we put you guys through.

Thanks.

Lorna
