A letter to Jean Grey from Wolverine apologizing for his affair with Cyclopes.
Dear Jean,
I don't know how to start this letter, but I guess I owe you an explanation and an apology. I'm sorry for what I did to you and to our relationship. I'm sorry for hurting you and betraying your trust. I'm sorry for being selfish and reckless.
You deserve to know the truth. It all started when you were gone for that mission in space. I was feeling lonely and lost without you. Cyclopes was there for me, as a friend and a teammate. He listened to me and comforted me. He understood what I was going through. He made me feel alive again.
It wasn't planned or intentional. It just happened one night after a fight with Magneto. We were both exhausted and wounded. We needed each other's warmth and company. We kissed and then we crossed the line.
It was a mistake, Jean. A terrible mistake that I regret every day since then. It didn't mean anything to me. It was just a moment of weakness and confusion. You are the only one I love, Jean. You are the only one who makes me happy.
I know it's hard to believe me after what I did, but it's the truth. I ended things with Cyclopes as soon as you came back from your mission. He agreed that it was wrong and that we should never do it again.
I wanted to tell you everything, but I was afraid of losing you forever. I was afraid of hurting you more than I already did. So I kept it a secret, hoping that it would never come out.
But secrets have a way of coming out eventually, don't they? And now you know everything, thanks to Emma Frost's telepathy.
I don't expect you to forgive me or take me back, Jean. But I hope you can understand why I did what I did, and how much I regret it.
You are the best thing that ever happened to me, Jean. You are my soulmate and my partner in life.
I love you more than anything in this world, Jean.
Please don't hate me,
Wolverine
A response from Jean Grey elaborating how they were never in a relationship
Dear Wolverine,
I don't know why you keep sending me these letters, but I want you to stop. We were never in a relationship, Wolverine. We were never anything more than friends and teammates.
You have no right to apologize to me or to ask for my forgiveness. You have no right to say that you love me or that you need me. You have no right to make me feel guilty or sorry for you.
You are delusional, Wolverine. You are obsessed with me and with Cyclopes. You are trying to ruin our lives and our happiness.
I don't care about your affair with Cyclopes, Wolverine. I don't care about your feelings or your regrets. I don't care about your poem or your letter.
You are nothing to me, Wolverine. Nothing but a nuisance and a threat.
So please leave me alone, Wolverine. Leave Cyclopes alone too. Leave us alone and move on with your life.
Don't write to me again,
Jean
