One good thing about dupes is that I have a low-level pyschic link with them. I can sense them when they're close, even direct them a little when they want to cooperate. This hasn't been all that often, lately. But, there's something that unifies me when I about to die. We like working together then.

During her monologue - Which is something you should never do as a villain. - Jamie had willed a dupe to walk up behind her. He figured she'd be distracted enough by her little show that his possibly - Okay, admittedly - suicidal idea could work. And so, with no warning, the dupe slapped his bare hands to Rogue's face.

And once he held on, he didn't let go until he was dead.

I don't like sending dupes to their death, but sometimes, it's necessary.

Thank you.
