It had taken him time to realise what she was trying to do with Laura to help her. At first he had wanted to stop her from saying and doing all she did. But since he trusted her he let her continue. Now he understood and while he didn't fully agree he wasn't about to claim to be any kind of therapist himself. He stayed silent. Then he heard Laura call Ororo a whore. That hurt Logan and he was glad 'Ro wasn't there to hear it. He was about to say something in response, but he stopped himself yet again, knowing that Laura was simply trying to hurt him and he couldn't let her get to him.<br/><br/>As Psylocke spoke Logan listened and sighed. "It is clear to me Betsy. She and I are the same. I've felt pain many times. I've lost children. I've lost people I love. I've held them in my arms as they've died. Many times I've blamed myself for their deaths. You want to end it, but you can't. You are used to healing quickly, but this is pain that won't go away any time soon. This is the one kind of pain we need to learn to live with. You can't end your life and you can't hurt anyone else to lessen your own pain. The sooner you stop being stubborn and learn to deal with the pain, the better off you will be. I know that what you went through is very difficult, but suck it up Laura. Welcome to my life. You are essentially me. And my life is filled with losing everyone you ever care about. Every woman I've ever loved has died and my children all either turn against me or die, at least the biological ones. Most of the people in this world want you dead, but they can't do it. So they target those around you. They go after what you care about. They torture you and torment you and attack everything about you. You can't end it though. It never stops. You break down one threat, one enemy, and two more emerge to take their place. But you have to keep fighting, to protect those who depend on you and who you care about. Because maybe, just maybe you can keep them safe and you can be happy. But you can't be happy if you let every set back turn you into this weak mess I see in front of me. Do you think that I let the pain of losing someone close to me stop me from doing what I need to do? You need to stop letting this pain keep you down and you need to learn how to deal with it."<br/><br/>Logan was lying of course. There had been times when he'd needed a break after losing someone he loved. A lot of the time he had spent wandering the world was because of loss. He wasn't entirely sure how Laura would react to what he had to say, but he hoped it might work. He could have inspired her to at least try to process her pain. Or maybe it would do what Psylocke had been trying to do and make her angry. Or maybe it would just distract her enough for Betsy to get into her head. Or maybe it would do something entirely unexpected. He had no way of knowing, but he had to try something. He felt useless just sitting there and letting Psylocke try her methods. He couldn't leave either. He had to be there with her. Mainly because he cared about her, but also because of his feeling that he had failed her, along with wanting to make sure Betsy stayed safe.
