She nodded slightly, leaning back against the couch. "You know, for a man who preaches peace, Xavier sure teaches his students some strange things."

She nodded mutely. She had her own personal reasons for hating Xavier, stemming from the fact he'd left her in an insane aslyum when she was clearly not insane when she went in.
"How're you feeling?" she asked after a minute or two, pulling her knees up to her chest.

I don't even have a choice now, and I'm twenty-four, she thought bitterly, wrapping her arms around her knees. She didn't voice any of it though.
"Nobody should have to go through that," she murmured. "But, I guess, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right?"

"I'm a single mother of twin boys with no idea who the father is; I have a whoreish brother, pyschoctic father, and a stalker; and I'm beginning to hate that cat-girl," Wanda shrugged slightly. "I just keep reminding myself that it could be worse. Could be raining."
