The fire began to die in Rachel’s eyes and her expression faltered. “What….?”

[text] You weren’t supposed to get those. I’m so very, very sorry. I’ll make sure to send those to the right person next time.

[text] You're forgiven. Just be more careful next time.

She knew it would happen eventually. Admittedly she had expected it to be with her universe's versions of her students/children.

[text] Might I suggest double checking the number next time?

Enigma was unphased by nudity, it was just something that existed especially when one was on a team. It was faster to just change on the way there, unless you were the pilot, than each one change separately in their own rooms. Though sexts were a bit more jarring.

Woah, that comic clipping of Scott using his laser vision was cut off at the waist for me, so it looked like it was coming out of his crotch. lololol

Hey Hank, do you mind if I ask what you think is a good toy to give to a child?

Not at all, you know I'm always happy to give advice.

Hm . . . how old is Nathan now? And are there any books, comics, games or TV shows that he particularly likes? I know Adventure Time is a big hit at the moment.

Hank’s feelings on modern Scott are probably well-documented by this point, but one thing I love about your version of Scott is just how wildly different a path his life took, so Hank’s view of him is incredibly different.

Hank always thought that of all the Original X-Men, Scott was the one that needed to take a load off most. He was the leader, he had to take the weight that the others couldn’t - I’ve always headcanoned that Hank is too much of a people pleaser, too reliant on other people liking him to be able to make hard decisions, so he’s always been grateful but also slightly guilty that Scott had to take that burden for him.

So being able to settle down happily with a wife and son? Being able to recover from the trauma of what happened to Jean? Hank is incredibly happy for Scott. He looks at what came after, and sees how unhappy Scott became with Jean after a while, and how jaded and cynical and willing to do the wrong thing for the right reasons he became. And it makes him so happy.

Is there some nostalgic wish that he had settled down with Jean instead of Maddie? Maybe a tiny bit. But then he remembers that even though they’re different people, they’re still the same good, wonderful woman that Hank loved like a sister at heart, and he realises that Scott is happy this way. Hank wants his friends to be happy before anything else, and Scott getting to have a family? To have the thing he was denied as a child?

It fills him with joy.
