>> "Natalie."
"In the workshop. What do you want?"
>> "I think you know. There's a transport scheduled from Muir."
"Yes, there is. Is this where you tell me you're going to cancel it?"
>> "No. But I would ask you why. And if you don't think you might be overreaching a little in ordering planes around to land in my hangar."
"I can have them land in Southend if it will check the boxes better for you. They're taking my body to Muir. There's a neuroscientist there that has been offering to work with me on my problem."
>> "If that is what you want."
>> "And I don't take umbrage with them landing here."
>> "It's the extent to which you seem to treat my facilities as your own."
"Well, that will be coming to an end soon as well. That's why they're dropping off the storage equipment. The body and the suit, of course, will remain here, since they are, as you just reminded me, your property."
"No, I'm fucking angry."
<sarcasm>"No, the pope."</sarcasm>
"I don't think I can trust you anymore."
>> "I've never done anything to deceive you. What brought this on?"
"It's not a 'lie to me' kind of trust. I believe you'll follow the letter of your word. I don't trust your priorities after the situation with Will. I don't trust how you treat your 'property' and I no longer want to be living on your charity."
>> "So you ordered a bunch of storage equipment through my connections with Muir."
>> "Look, the Will situation had to be resolved somehow and they were just about at each other's throats."
>> "I did not anticipate they would turn it into the mess it ended up as, but I couldn't exactly pull the rug out from under them at the last minute."
"No. I requested the storage equipment via my relationship with Doctor Zhou. The storage equipment is not the school's property in any way, shape, or form."
"So, in your opinion, a duel at high noon was the appropriate way to resolve that dispute?"
>> "They were already fighting and I needed a solution they would both actually accept."
"Did you watch the same fight I did? Because it looked like one Will didn't even want to be there."
>> "He didn't have to be. I explicitly told him he should nominate someone to fight in his stead."
>> "I was trying to even the playing field."
"There shouldn't have been a playing field in the first place. Even less so once you saw it was out of control."
>> "Nobody was hurt, the safeties were on. It was under control and got resolved."
>> "You're not the one who had to deal with those two being at each other's throats."
>> "You heard what the other said. He was willing to destroy Will at the hospital."
>> "Something had to be done."
>> "I will make sure your body is moved to the hangar safely. You can keep my old body and the suit if you wish."
"You obviously didn't read the looks on their faces. That fight may not have damaged bodies, but you wrecked the X-Men."
"I already told you, I don't want your property. This is your body. The suit was built with school funds and assistance for your code, so it's yours too."
>> "You're being overly dramatic."
>> "The body and suit will be in storage, if you ever change your mind."
