do you want to know his fears? or would you like him to see ours? I'd like to show him.

yes, I'm upset and avoiding people again. but, I offer my services if they would help...and if someone can be there to give me the off-switch I am usually lacking.

Dani -

Thank you for your offer. However, I do not think it is our place to try and decide a punishment, however we may feel about what he did. The appropriate authorities have been contacted, and they will deal with him as necessary.

I told him this was a place that could help him. I told him that, and so far, it as not been true. Are we are truly so like him that we cannot separate our base desires from our obligation to help?

I am sorry. I do not mean to reprimand you... perhaps my judgement is not yet fully recovered. I will leave this decision in Mr. Summers' hands.

-O.

no...I think I let my emotions and the general feelings of the people around me take control of my better judgement.

I can't think of a non-vindictive reason to use my powers and I am not judge, jury or executioner.

Dani,

I want you to stop and think about this for a minute. Yes, he's hurt people that we know and care about, as well as a lot of other people. You could show him his fears, one of the telepaths could rewrite his mind, myself or any of the other X-Men could beat the crap out of him and try to 'teach him a lesson'.

But we can't. We can't, because we're supposed to be better than he is. I know that's not much consolation when you see your friends hurting, but the damage he did is being undone. The people who need help are getting it. That's what our role is supposed to be. None of us are judge or jury - we have to remember that.

If you need to talk more about this, I should be back in the office in a little bit.

-S.

this is why I stay off the journal sometimes. and should have continued to do so.

I let my feelings and that of those around me get the better of me...fortunantly, I did not do it in public.

although this does make me wonder what useful applications my powers have. now that I'm starting to get enough control to not freak out everytime I meet someone new, I've been thinking about that. And I can't think of anything. I'm not a torturer and that is all I can see for my powers. Intentionally forcing people to see their fears is torture.
