I'm going through all 76 episodes of the original X-Men animated series to celebrate the new season of X-Men '97. I'll recap each episode in story order. Some will fit in one post; others need a short thread because too much happens to flat...
"You're still in my heart, but you're slipping. Any thought of pain, or regret, will slip away like a chemical switch. Even though it's quiet in the room, somehow it gets even quieter. It's not painful, you just let go of everything you onc...
