I was very angry with you. Still am, a bit, but I've made my choice.
[That his little brother is more important than vengeance.]
[Perhaps it would help them both to admit this.] My anger was born of the false hope that I could be anything but a barren field.
[And he and Rogue have sort of dealt with that now, as much as it can be dealt with. He now has to be invested in the idea that his daughter was not real, or he will very likely go mad with the knowledge he killed her.]
And once more having the lie of a family given to me and torn away. Grief, I suppose, for that which was not real.
[So now that he does have a real family of sorts, he'd be a thousand kinds of fool to hang on to his anger and destroy the reality of it. This, Rogue has finally begun to hammer into his head after months of painful conversation.]
Stark is just...an odd footnote. [The least painful part of this mess, really.] I find it very curious that time and again, he and I are thrown together in experiments and are as brothers. Yet he loathes me so profoundly, and wishes to be my enemy to the point he has rejected what apology I could offer him. And yet now...
[He shrugs, letting the implication dangle there. It's at least an interesting data point to come out of this bloody mess, if Billy its certain of how the spell worked.]
