[He takes a deep breath because he doesn't know what he wants to really say. Or at least, how to say it. Several thoughts whirl around his mind and a tiny part of him almost wants to glitch to a Scott that has more experience with this, but he can't just hope for stuff like that. He doesn't want to anyway.

'Saving the world is what X-Men do' is what Quentin said. Granted, part of the conflict has been Rogue thinking that breaking this place will do that, but arguing about it has gone nowhere.

With another deep breath, he switches to voice.]


Rogue, I know it's been hard here. I get why you and Morph want to break out of this place, with the infections and glitching that went on in the past months. [He's not interested in making another argument about whether or not they will survive this world breaking, that isn't the point now.]

But I want you and Morph to be with me-- with Kurt and Quentin. We're mutants. I feel better when we're together. [He can even trust Rogue with this, her help with Kurt is proof of that.] I know we're better together.

The AI is losing control of itself and needs help. Aren't we all familiar with that-- as a mutant? That's what we're trying to do too. We can't abandon something like that, even if it's a program. So, I'm asking you to help me, Morph too, because we're X-Men. Saving others that need help is what we do.

[...]

I know that we might be stuck for longer because of that, but no one is giving up on finding a way back. We might have to go through more shit together, but I know you-- we can get through it. Together. We've already done so. It'll be worth it because we'll be helping someone and giving a chance to others who don't have a home. [The people that can't go back.]

...I'm asking you and Morph to trust me.
