In 'Innocence lost' X-23 got a letter from her mother. These are the contents:

Please forgive me. Even as I write the words, they ring so hollow. My mistakes… No, my choices… They cannot be undone, much less forgiven. How all this came to pass… and the truth about Weapon X. Had it ended there, would I be less a monster? 또는 more? Would I even know the difference? Of course I don't have to tell 당신 about monsters. Your life is defined 의해 monsters. Replicating the mutant genome proved difficult but rebuilding Weapon X seemed all but impossible. For every enzyme, for every codon, for every sequence we repaired, 또는 even built back from near nothingness, we seemed to be missing a million more. But I felt alive, the work, the failure, the challenge. It was like a brilliant light, shining inside of me. I felt like my life had a propose. What a fool I was. I was defiant in the face of my failures. I was determined to succeed out of spite. Weeks passed. I was working on two projects, living two lives. I was used to that. I had kept secrets before. It seems so incredible to me now, that in all that time, given everything that I knew what I was doing and what the end result would 곰 I didn't give it a 초 thought. I told myself that 당신 weren't real. I told myself that this was science not life. I was creating a weapon, not a child. I was wrong. When I was little I always believed that everything that happened to me -- I deserved it. That we all get what we deserve. Maybe I was right. No longer the experimenter, I was now part of the experiment. A vessel to be poked and proded. To be violated. They certainly didn't care about me...not with a weapon to train. A team of physicians, psychologists, nutritionists, and military strategists now ran my life. They watched my every move, but they didn't see everything. I asked for forgiveness before. Now I'm telling 당신 don't forgive me. Don't forgive any of us for what we did. Ever. I remember everything...everything we did to you, and 당신 deserve to know why we did these things. Your training was designed to strip 당신 of your humanity. After all, in the eyes of the program, 당신 weren't human, 당신 were a weapon. A weapon I willingly conceived for them. Our orders were to keep 당신 from gaining any sense of self, something they said would compromise our ability to control you. We were never to treat 당신 as a child, only as a weapon, but not everyone followed those orders, for that I'm grateful. Sutter wanted to complete your construction, but that wasn't possible while your healing factor was dormant. 당신 would never survive the surgery so 쌀 was given permission to take what ever steps were necessary to activate your x-gene. He chose radiation poisoning. 당신 nearly died that day. Unfortunately 쌀 was right. The radiation worked. Now nothing stood in their way, especially me. I only found out later what happened, that your claws were extracted one 의해 one, that he sharpened and then coated them with the indestructible metal, adamantium, outside of our body, it was never supposed to be like that. So much wasn't. I should have known what was coming, not that I could have prevented it, but I would have tried. I'm sorry, so sorry. When it was time for your first field test the target was chosen with the flip of a coin. Who it was didn't matter. As long as the target was high 프로필 and couldn't be gotten to. Sutter needed to make a statement and 당신 delivered it to the world. I wanted to understand why we were doing this. I told Martin I needed to understand why 당신 had to publicly kill an innocent man, his family and so many others. So, he told me. He said: "It's simple. 당신 can't sell anything without advertising." That's what this was all about. The buying and selling of lives for profit. Not saving the world, 또는 taking it over. No, this was about money. A lot of it. Martin sold 당신 for a million dollars a pound and as 당신 know 의해 now, there were no shortage of buyers. 쌀 was right. I didn't matter. Not to them. Not to you. Not to anyone. All I could do is watch. While 당신 were forced to kill and kill, and kill, and kill. 당신 killed royalty. Godfathers. Drug lords. Dictators. Assassins...anyone...everyone...for a price. For three years, 당신 murdered without failure. Every target they marked, 당신 killed. Every time they set, 당신 beat. Every rendezvous point they plotted, 당신 reached except one. The one where 쌀 was waiting for you. When 쌀 came back from the mission, he told us what happened. He said 당신 didn't make the rendezvous in time. That he had to abort the mission when the team started taking fire. And that he saw 당신 die. I didn't want to believe him. 당신 never told me what happened. How 당신 survived 또는 how 당신 made your way back. Why didn't 당신 tell me? For so long, I held myself above Sutter and Rice. They made 당신 a killer. They were the ones using you. But all it took was one phone call to open my eyes and see I was just like them. They say in life that we are judged 의해 the choices we make, they are what define us, and I chose to bring 당신 in to this world. I chose to stay in the program even after they stripped 당신 of your humanity and molded 당신 in to a weapon. I'm responsible for everything that has happened, for all the pain all the death for everything 당신 have suffered, because I had a choice when 당신 had none. And I chose to do nothing. I always assumed it was 쌀 that cut you. He hurt 당신 so many times in the past...he almost killed 당신 twice. I never wanted to believe it was you. The damage I've done...can I ever forgive myself?. 당신 couldn't stop what 쌀 made 당신 do...but somehow 당신 managed to save Henry and tell me the truth witch means there is hope...you showed me we've failed...you are not a weapon, 당신 are a child. Always remember 당신 are not to blame. 당신 did not pick this life. We...I forced it upon you. The blood 당신 have spilled is on my hand not yours and please understand why I must ask 당신 to kill one last time. Because tonight what 당신 do is right. Tonight, what 당신 serve is justice. Tonight, 당신 take back the life we 스톨, 훔친 from you. I never wanted a family. My father stripped me of that desire. He took my childhood, my innocence, my life. And then I took yours. I became what I hated and feared most and 당신 became my victim. But then 당신 showed me hope. Not when 당신 saved Megan, but when 당신 saved Henry. 당신 showed me that we can chose to be something other than what we are forced to be that we can be something better than we believe we are. And, in that moment, 당신 saved my life, all that matter to me now is that I save yours. I wish we could just run away without any 더 많이 blood shed. But if 당신 don't stop them they will never stop. They will do it again. They've already started. After tonight, we'll just keep moving and never look back. We'll start a new life, have a future, be a family. I'm sorry I waited so long to tell 당신 these things. There is so much 더 많이 I want to tell you, and I will but one thing that 당신 must always remember no matter what has happened and no matter what may come 당신 are a child, not a weapon. 당신 are my child. 당신 are my daughter, and I 사랑 you. I will always 사랑 you, Laura.

Your Mother Sarah
