Lost way more while a mutate in Genosha than she is willing to accept.

Worries that the mutant cure is going to rob some mutants of the experience of learning how to control and benefit from their powers.

Would really like to feed lightning into Mystique until Mystique melts.

Refrains from this because she knows that every mutant can be useful. Look at Erik.

In retrospect, considers Erik Lensherr an exemplary steward of Xavier's dream.

Makes it a point not to examine Xavier's ethics too closely.

Is gratified that Terry considers her something of an aunt.

Looks forward to spending more time in the company of Sean.
