Raven looked at the cards in front of her. She'd been careful about typing their names instead of writing them herself. She knew they wouldn't open them if they were from her. Carefully she slid a twenty dollar bill in each card leaving the bottom blank, if she wanted her children to love or at least think of her again she'd have to be careful not to scare them away, although Eric had done a good job of that with her son. She'd messed up with Rogue, she'd admit to that now. Shape shifting into a bird she flew to the mansion and dropped the addressed letters in the mail slot and hid to watch her children receive the money they should've been getting since they were small. Rogue was the first one to come down stairs; her make-up, what little she was still wearing was smudged and Raven knew instinctively she'd been crying again. I'll kill that Cajun for hurting her she thought clenching her fists in anger.
Rogues picked up the envelope studying it, almost as if expecting it to either blow up or smell like Remy's spicy scented cologne. Seeing neither happen she carefully opened the envelope and read the card. It was one of those cheap cards, the kind one might find at a dollar store, but it was the message that made her pause. "I'm sorry" was all the inside said as the twenty dollar bill fell to the floor at Rogue's feet. "Remy?" Rogue whispered softly looking around and then looking at the card again. That's when she noticed there was an identical envelope with Kurt's name typed across the front. "Mystique?" she said her nose wrinkling in confusion as she picked up the money and slid it into her pocket, causing Raven to smile. At least she accepted it was her only thought before she turned back into a bird to see if her son would do the same.
