It's not... it's not simple. [Gawd, what does she even say to all that?]

I don't know what ta say, Kurt. It might have been her own doin' that got her frozen into stone, but I was the one that [pushed her off a cliff] ...made sure she'd never come back. I know I hurt you and... I wish I could have done what was right.

[If only she knew what was right. Leaving Mystique alive to hurt them both? Was that right? No. But saving her... like Gambit saved his dad... saving her would have been right, for sure. She swallows hard, daring to share a little bit more.]

Do you know why Mystique adopted me?

[It's at least in part a rhetorical question - she knows she's never talked about this with him - with anyone, really - before.

Let's just say it was my powers she wanted to nurture didn't even begin to cover it.]
