Subject: You might want to sit down for this...

Seems like there's a rumour going around about you and Kurt, and I wanted to tell you before you heard it from the Stepfords or something. Apparently Forge managed to 'translate' something from that daft old biddy's diary that he thinks means you and Kurt are brother and sister. And Marius was there when he worked it out, so he told Monet and you can guess that it's all over the bloody school by now.

I don't put a hell of a lot of stock in precog gibberish, even Angie's sometimes - it's the nature of the power to get things all garbled so the precog's brain doesn't go boom. But Forge says there's a way to find out for sure, by comparing you and Kurt's DNA from your medical records. Could be a way to settle this shite once and for all, yeah?

And sorry if I just smacked you in the face with this. Subtle has never been my strong point, remember? I'm around if you want to talk, though.

Do what? That sound you just heard was my jaw hitting the floor. Though it suddenly makes a lot more sense why some of my students were whispering and looking at me and stopped talking when I got closer...I thought it was just first week jitters. How the hell would I be related to Kurt? That would mean...well, you know what that would mean and that's just not possible. Right? I...I need to think about this for a while. Irene's not always right anyways...and maybe she's just trying to mess with me. She does seem to enjoy doing that.

It's total bollocks, of course it is. Irene fucking with you, or getting confused or something. Since that'd mean your mum would have to be Mystique, and there's just no way she'd have left two of you to be X-Men. Tho', if it is true, someone needs to give that tart the safe-sex talk.

Yes, that would be me using humour to make things less argh. Did it work?

Is it too early for ice cream? Maybe not if I put it on a waffle?

(In other words, come over for breakfast before I rip my hair out).

I'll get Angelo to drive me over - he sort of ended up staying here last night.

I've got some raspberry sorbet that ought to count as fruit?

That sounds like a perfect justification.

I wonder what time it is in Afghanistan.

See you soon. And oh G-d, now I'm wondering...who else had heard this? How much damage control am I going to have to do?

Hate to say it, but since Monet knows? You can pretty much guarantee it's spreading through the school - she told me she'd told Clarice, Jennie and 'Yana already.

I'll pick up the heavy-duty chocolate as well.

So in other words, I'm the last to know?

Yeah. Chocolate. A lot of it. And maybe some alcohol. A lot of it.

Typing in the car - yay PDA!

And you're not the last to know - Kurt's still out of contact.

And there's a liquor store coming up at the next exit - I'll get Ange to stop.
