Not so much hiding as difficult to say.

I lost control of my power. Victor lost his good arm.

What?

He's... his mutation saved the arm but... I'm really sorry, Julian.

I know how his mutation works! He wasn't supposed to — dammit! And damn you! Don't try to make this better, he hates his arm - the other arm.

Then what?

Nothing. He made me leave. And I haven't been in the hospital since.

Of course he did. Vic's a hero.

You all are.

Tell me something I don't know. I have a good team behind me. It's why I went after you. I knew that if I died, they'd work out what I worked out about how to stop the two of you.

Having a good team doesn't mean leaving them behind to handle it while you die.

[dropping it with a sigh] What was your plan?

I said "if". I wasn't planning on dying.

[bitter, sad] You could have...

What did Sofia do? Alani? Victor? Jubilee?

Phoenix encountered Jubilee and Kurt but it didn't do anything. And they confronted me afterwards. They're physically okay.

Stop evading and tell me what happened!

Nothing. They met Phoenix. They're angry at me. They're scared. They don't want to fight me but they will if I fail...

Are you going to?

Not if I can help it.

You'd better not. I don't care if you hate me, but if you touch any of my friends again, I'll rip the damned Phoenix Force out of you myself.

[what] What makes you think I hate you?

I don't think it. I know it. I just don't care.

You don't care to listen either.

I don't hate you.

Explain away what happened then. I dare you.

I don't know you. You're not easy to approach. And I don't know how to approach you. Phoenix used that. It pulls every little slights it can find in my head and uses it against everyone, even people I like. I hurt the Professor too and he's like a father to me.

... and honestly, I don't have the capacity to wait at the caves for an hour every day for someone I hate.

Close. But not close enough. Once you work out what I know, then you'll know how to control it.

Now leave me alone.

I'll keep all of you updated.

[and she's gone.]
