[Private to Emma Frost:]

[Wow, she is just the most unsure about this...]

I -- have to ask you something. It probably sounds stupid, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even work this way, but -- do you sense other telepaths? It's just that I don't think -- I -- Charles isn't here any more, is he?

[ End Private to Emma Frost]

[Some time later, the following voice post goes up. Mystique is -- very pointedly not showing her face right now, and she sounds a little shaky.]

For anyone who knew Charles -- my brother, Charles Xavier -- he isn't here any more.

Just -- so everyone knows.

[And she clicks off the feed, because she's going to go have her own private pity party. She knew that the little bit of peace she got here, pretending that things were okay with her brother, wouldn't last ... but she hadn't wanted to think about how exactly it would come to an end. The selfish part of her had always hoped she'd be the one to go home first. It had happened once before, after all.]

He has done a great deal of good, in my time.

[ Likewise, he's not going to mention the part where general opinion of him is pretty jaded and a bunch of people think that Professor X is, in fact, a jerk. ]

[They should both feel good about not telling each other these things.]

And probably given out just as many really bad pick-up lines.

[At least she's trying to lighten the mood.]

[andfutureking]

Fortunately, he has grown out of those.

For the most part.

[studieswaitressing]

Colour me surprised.

[No, actually. She was pretty sure those were there to stay.]
