Wow, I'm practically speechless, Jo. It all went down so easily, so smoothly, it's almost anti-climatic that they barely even saw it coming. Oh, I get it, that Xavier had all of his sins, and then some, visited back on him. But he was barely given time to even suffer through them; to really /feel/ what he'd done to those that could have been his *children*, his students, his TEAM! The quick, almost compassionate, way in which Marie did him in was really too good for him!

Damn you! How you manage to get me so wrapped up in these worlds you create with words!! I *LIKE* Xavier's character! But then you turn him into a first class (insert loathsome epithet here), and I can't help but follow you, Logan, Marie - the whole troop - down into battle!!

Hurrah, my dear, hurrah!
