We're back.

Rather anticlimactic, all things considered. Kurt's with us and not too badly hurt - obviously, since we brought him back on the cargo plane - although he's going to be a while in recovering. He's down in the infirmary, with Amelia giving him a thorough going-over.

Sadly, we didn't bring back any explanations as to precisely what the hell was going on. Magneto was there - we spotted him at the end of a hallway, but picking a fight in the middle of a hospital, even a shady private clinic that was holding Kurt against his will, was not really an option.

I'm almost sure he meant for us to see him.

If anyone wants my opinion, this was some sort of a test, to see how we'd react. I can think of at least three incidents while I was at Mistra where we were lured into demonstrating how we'd respond to a particular situation; it can tell an enemy a lot, so long as they're not throwing away anything too valuable. Given that Kurt was obliging enough to traipse happily into their hands, the bait came at no cost to them, even. And after the ambush they pulled with the Blackbird, it's fair to say that they were probably wondering how that might change the nature of our response to something like this.

Note for the security-minded: how whoever it was knew to pass that package with the evidence for where Kurt was to Suzanne has some nasty implications, given that she's not been out in the field with us yet.

I'm going to call Amanda and tell her Kurt's back and able to have visitors.

From what I've seen on the files, Kurt has sort of had to be forgiving. His family isn't exactly known for not screwing up. Problem with that is, he probably thinks he can save all of them considering others have been in the past. It doesn't always work that way though, no matter how much you might want to believe otherwise. Hopefully after this time he'll have learnt that.

No, he doesn't have to be forgiving. Some people are beyond redemption. To believe differently is naive. Cost me an arm learning that lesson.

I think Ghandi and Mandela would disagree with you but they probably didn't have to deal with super powered beings that could rip you in two.

Well, I'm all for redemption and every thing. But when it's starting to really compromise the rest of us, it's like, figure out your priorites. Either stick around and protect the people who've been good to you or keep running off and getting screwed by the blue psycho ho-bag.
