Sessions Part 1: My Leaving the Xmen
This is wasn't how I pictured my life. When I was small I didn't tell my teachers I wanted to be a psychiatric patient. I never thought I'd regret my life. And for the most part I don't regret the life I've lived. I was a superhero, I helped people, fought the good fight. The bad didn't start happening until about two years ago. Funny how time flies.
Two years ago I was the youngest member of the Xmen. A group of men and women fighting for mutant equality and a better world. Then IT happened. I was shipped off to this school.
Okay so maybe shipped off isn't the right way to say it. See Doc, about that time the place where I lived, The Xavier School for the Gifted, was being relocated to Massachusetts. It was a school for mutant children, I'd lived there for like three years. Well, I along with all the other gifted children were moved to with the school.
I mean that's not so bad... It's just that I always thought of the Xmen as my family not just the teachers of my school. I was supposed to be on of them. Oh they said that it was for my own good. See at the Academy the new headmaster, Emma Frost, was putting together a band of teenage heroes. Scott, he's one of the Xmen, gave this talk about how I would learn how to be a real fighter there.
Of course I didn't believe him! Doc, you don't know them like I know them. The only reason they shipped me to Massachusetts was so I wouldn't be in their way. Which is totally unfair by the way. I spent three whole years of my life protecting their asses and trying to help out, and they send me off like some reject.
But see Doc it wouldn't make me so mad if it weren't for Kitty. See Kitty is this stupid bitch that everyone is in love with. Kitty is so great. That kind of thing. But she's also my age. No she is not an Xmen. She used to be and like me she was a kid when she joined. But you know what Doc, they let her go to this other group called X Force over in Europe. It's not the same Doc. They let Kitty go because they thought she was old enough to handle herself. They let me go because I was this little pest, a kid.
Everyone was the same. They all thought I was this airhead. Oh they liked me, my best friend, Wolverine, was an Xman. But it didn't change the fact they all thought that I was stupid. It's what everyone has always thought about me. I thought that they were different than the rest. But I was wrong all I was to them was a punk kid.
So I was off to join the toddlers in Massachusetts. You know people always say that looking back they aren't half as mad about the most of the bad things that happened to them. That they can see the importance of that event. Well Doc, I can honestly say that I still think that the Xmen, the people I once called my family, royally screwed me when they sent me away. It wasn't so bad at first, but ultimately it was I think the turning point in my life. The place were I slowly began my descent into the hell that is my life today.
