Hey Porcupine,
Sorry kid, but I'm skipping town with your pick-and-roll partner. Look on the bright side. At least they're letting you play again.
I guess I should move on to more important things. I just want to let you know how people look at you. You should know how proud your family, all of us, feel when we see how well you've done. When the classes started beating you, you studied. When the X-men asked for more, you drilled your butt off. When we felt you growing distant, you let us reach for you. Even when our changes got out of control, you fought to be what you wanted to be, not what your powers dictated.
You're so much more than you realized. But, you can't rest now.
Scott needed someone to lean on. Rogue will, too. She's a player/coach and she's going to need a go-to guy. Back her up when she needs to be right. Give her advice from your head and your heart, not your guts. You'll need those for later, believe me.
Let Kurt and Kitty grow up. Don't forget to help them do that. Don't forget to be their friend, either. Just remember that you had a big brother for a while, too. They should get the same.
P.S.- Don't forget to wear a helmet!
