. . .

oh.

wow.

huh.

I, ah.

Okay.

First, I am leaving in a week or so with my mom, we have some Phoenix business to attend to. I think we're borrowing a ship from Tony? Maybe? That will let us go to the moon.

I only wish that was a joke.

Jean's got the Phoenix again, too.

Second, Mystique had been threatening me in order to find Anna. She knows that I can find here, wherever, and she's really pissed off. Somebody told her that Magneto punished Anna, and Mystique is out for blood. And entrails. And maybe the odd spleen. So watch yourself

Rachel, are you saying to me you are journeying to the moon with your mother, who has received her Phoenix powers once more, and are borrowing a spaceship from Tony Stark? If this is what you are saying to me--ah. Please take care of yourself. Dash it all, I am not used to worrying about anyone and it is most tiresome.

The last I heard, Apocalypse is in space. Give him my regards if you happen to see him. Preferably with some sort of destructive force.

If you do see him, do not think once of me. Promise me you will do this, Rachel. He is not very fond of me and I would loathe your invovlment in our mutual hatred. Not one single thought of me, Rachel. I simply cannot stress this enough. Though I imagine the chances of this happening is quite rare.

I shall make it quite clear to Miss Darkholme that threatening you is astoundingly stupid. Though I cannot say her eviscerating Magneto is all that bad of an idea. Only joking, of course I shall give nothing away of that--and again, I do not know anything of Anna's whereabouts. I shall

1) Ah, yeah. That's what I meant.

2) Oh, god, I didn't think of that. If we encounter Apocalypse you will, believe me, be the last thing on my mind.

3) We CAN'T eviscerate Magneto, I offered, and Anna is terrified that he and I will fight. So, if Mystique wants you to kill him, could you maybe find a way to stay out? Anna would be really really upset if you killed her boyfriend.

4) Izzy likes Mystique because she's dangerous? . . . . God. That explains a few things. Huh.

5) Tomorrow, or the day after. I'll call with the flight info.

Then do heed my wishes that you are very careful on this journey. And I should consider it the greatest gift you could ever bestow upon me if you were to blast En Sabah Nur back to the abyss from which he came. Only if you have the chance. I do realise you shall be very busy.

I should perhaps have had less coffee this morning. Do you realise how much coffee I have to drink in order to be affected by it? I am slightly horrified.

I shall not offer to kill Magneto. I have threatened the man once, and I do mean it--should any harm befall you because of his mad plans, I shall not hesitate to do away with him. He is safe from my ire as long as that does not occur. I am pleased to stay out of that situation, I assure you.

One can surmise that is part of Mystique's attraction. She is a strikingly lovely woman, but I would imagine going to bed with her would be akin to climbing into a nest of irritated vipers.

Do so, I shall collect you from the airport.
