It's lunch time at the Xavier Institute. Hank thought Logan would want to debrief after their latest mission -- but he seems more focused on devouring his meal as fast as possible.

So when Hank catches your eye, he smiles and gestures you over. "Please, have a seat. I wouldn't mind the company."

"Hmm. I've served a great number of teams in my life. Avengers. Defenders. An X-Men member, of course. But sometimes I wonder if I should journey to the stars."

Hank taps his chin. "Kitty often speaks of her time with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Perhaps I should spend some time with them, too."

"Indeed! Interacting with multiversal variants is...jarring, to say the least. But also quite enlightening! I'm glad another iteration of myself seems so alike in scientific interest."
"My word,I will never quite get used to my other selves. Er, OUR other selves."
"Hah! Well, the biased perspective is undeniable, but the compliment is appreciated nonetheless."

"Hah! Well, the biased perspective is undeniable, but the compliment is appreciated nonetheless."
"If I may venture a very biased opinion, yes."
"Scott and Ororo have made fine leaders of the X-Men over the years. I'd follow either of them anywhere, but..."

He rubs his furry chin. "...I can't help but wonder if I would be suitable to command the X-Men, for a change. At least, theoretically."

"Several of my students have discussed the idea of dying their hair to different colors. Then the conversation, of course, turned to if I have ever done the same to my fur."

Hank rubs his chin. "Hmm. But what color to dye it...?"

-- it's hard to tell if he's joking or serious.

Hank wrinkles his nose.

"No, I -- I don't usually engage in anything like that. Despite my alias, I wouldn't want to give in to any instincts that...well, base, personally speaking. I prefer to keep my wits about me and find my simple pleasures in more modern methods."
Victor listened to what Hank was saying and blinked a few times, looking like he didn’t understand a damn thing about shampoos or conditioner or any of that crap.

"Ahh… Ya got a specific tree you rub up against or somethin ?"
Hank smiles.

"Oh, well, through a very carefully managed fur maintenance routine. And a lot of trial and error. I've found the perfect combination of shampoos, conditioners, and trimming patterns to keep myself relatively maintained."

"And you're Shuri, of Wakanda. It's an honor to be present among royalty..." Hank smiles. Bending his arm and doing a half-bow.

"-- but, truth be told, I'm even more happy to meet another scientific mind. I've read some of your publications. Very fascinating research."
@mystarsandgarters.bsky.social

"So, you're Doctor Hank"? Shuri approached him, smile present. "It's nice to finally put a face to the name".
February 20, 2025 at 11:07 PM
"Consider yourself lucky. There's still some among the X-Men -- Scott and Emma first and foremost among them -- that...still don't exactly see the Avengers as allies. But I know better. We're all on the same team, protecting the people of this planet."
February 20, 2025 at 10:51 PM
"No, it's not. And...many Mutants have similar stories. But we have our own community, perhaps even our own sense of family, here. Perhaps you'll feel that way too, in time."

Hank smiles. "-- I should get started on this paperwork. And give you some time to get settled."
"I wanna stay here" they just say with sadness in thier voice and nod. They unpacled a stuffed animal from thier bag and hugged it for comfort as they look at him nodding. "I-Its not my fault that they did not want me" they tried to explain but shut up. " thanks.." they mumbled and sniffle a bit.
"Of course. Not to worry. We have...several students, and faculty, that have no family of their own. I'm -- not very close with my own parents either. Especially since...well, I look as I do."

He gives a soft smile. "So you're in good company, don't worry. We'll make this work, I promise."
February 20, 2025 at 10:39 PM
"Very true. And, while the X-Men and the Avengers haven't always seen eye to eye -- "

An understatement, to say the least.

"-- just know that if you need my help, Janet, I'll be there. For you, Simon, Steve, or anyone. Once an Avenger, always an Avenger."
February 20, 2025 at 10:08 PM
"Hah! Well you know Simon is one of my dearest friends as well. I miss him -- all of you -- greatly. But...my Mutant family needs protection. Needs me. These days, more than ever."

Hank smiles. "-- though if you have a get-together, or some sort of dinner, please let me know."
February 20, 2025 at 9:49 PM
"Of course. Not to worry. We have...several students, and faculty, that have no family of their own. I'm -- not very close with my own parents either. Especially since...well, I look as I do."

He gives a soft smile. "So you're in good company, don't worry. We'll make this work, I promise."
Rayne's smile faded as they hear him say that. They shake thier head and swallow thickly. "I'm alone. I never met my father and my mother left after I was born." They swallowed thickly, they fear that they have to leave again and they also hate to talk about this. Thier hands start to shake.
"Good. We'll of course need you to sign some paperwork -- and...I don't want to assume your home situation, but if you have a parent or legal guardian then we'll have to reach out to them too, of course."

He furrows his brows. "Though I know, for some here, family is a...complicated matter."

Rayne smiled at him and listened, actually they were taking noted allready so they wont forget it.

"I will, promise." They nod fastly. "Thank you so so much. Really. You make me feel very welcomed." They say and get up to look around a bit more.
"Perfect. I'm glad you like it. If you put together a list of things you need, within reason, we'll try to get them. And if you were staying anywhere previously, you can write it down and we'll send for your things."

Hank nods. "Welcome. I hope you'll like your time here."
February 20, 2025 at 7:52 PM
"Ah. Well, I have experience with hiveminds and otherworldly entities. I've examined the sentient bacteria called Sublime, the alien symbiotes of Klyntar, and the telepathic, plant-like aliens known as the Cotati. So I hope my expertise can be of some assistance."

"Please, lead the way."
"Right, okay, where to start. I have it in cold storage in my lab, because I am super fucking nervous of it waking up, but it's like . . . Ah, how do I explain it ? Kinda like a bunch of worms that function off of a hivemind."

Matthias explains,being earnest with his explanation.

"I had a run in -
Hank blinks. Then narrows his eyes.

"...it sounds like it may be dangerous. But I can't comment on it until I've seen it for myself. Why don't you tell me a little bit more about this 'parasite' you've taken...?"
February 20, 2025 at 7:04 PM

"I am very familiar with a tantrum from Victor Creed -- they can't be any worse than his counterpart here in my timeline. But I appreciate the warning."

Hank smiles. "I can tell they mean a lot to you. I'm glad they have you."
“I know but…it’s hard to know what to do if you were in my position…just don’t say I didn’t want you if Victor comes in and ruins your scientific research and experiments…”

She sighs and fixed her composure as she puts away the picture. Glancing back down at the little plant being tested on.
Hank looks from the picture then back up to Luna. Rubbing his forehead.

"I understand. It -- seems like a difficult situation, for all of you. And it seems like something your family needs to resolve within itself. I'm -- I don't think it's right for me to decide for you. Or for him."
February 20, 2025 at 6:49 PM
"It does feel like it, Janet. But don't worry -- I may spend most of my time among my fellow Mutants these days, as an X-Men member, but I haven't forgotten my time among the Avengers either."

Hank smiles. "Those were good days. Busy, and dangerous, but good."
February 20, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Hank blinks. Then narrows his eyes.

"...it sounds like it may be dangerous. But I can't comment on it until I've seen it for myself. Why don't you tell me a little bit more about this 'parasite' you've taken...?"
"Eh, well, there is . . . The other thing. I have a parasite I took from a job of mine, and . . . It corresponds to something another associate of mine was involved in. I want to create a . . . Killswitch? Or something similar."
"Aracanobotany? Now that is a very unique field of study, Matthias. I'd be more than happy to take a gander at your research thus far. But, to be quite honest, I'm not exactly an expert in anything arcane. That's a different doctor, over in the city."

He gives a soft, fanged smile.

“Yes I know but..”

She sighs softly, not in annoyance but rather defeat.

“Look, I’m put in between a rock and a hard place. I just don’t want Victor to go on a rampage and everything fall apart at the consequences of what Logan is doing. They’re my family…I don’t want to lose what I just got”

"You have been kind, yes. But...my kindness is to use my science ethically and fairly. I don't...think it would be fair to Logan, to make such a decision for him. Logan, if he's anything like the one in my timeline, has already endured much at the hands of unwanted science."

“I know but Victor is…difficult when he has his mind and eyes set on the things that he cares about. Especially his pack…which includes me too. Look, I figured nicely anyway would do something. There is power in kindness after all…least that’s what people say.”

It was worth a shot. She sighs.
"..."

Hank lets out a long, deep sigh.

"My, but you all are quite persistent..." he chuckles. Shaking his head. "I'll have to tell you the same thing I told Victor. This...would be a major change. And if I was to do it, it would have to be at Logan's own request. It's not right otherwise."

He gives a soft, fanged smile.
"I didn't come to you for help, nor did I come to flirt . . . Tempting as it may be. Nah, I actually, uh, just . . . Was looking for a fellow practitioner of science."

A soft pause.

"Hm. Though, I do have a couple things in my lab, if you'd wanna take a look at them ? Mostly arcanobotany, though."
"Full names, yes. I find them quite useful for first meetings. Though I mercifully spared you all my titles and doctorates..." Hank chuckles.

"Likewise, Matthias. I don't suppose I can help you with something? Most come to me when they need some scientific or medical expertise."
February 19, 2025 at 11:45 PM

“You see my friend wants to…you know…make his brother become more…younger if you will.”

She tried to dance around the wording. A reference to what Victor wanted from Hank, to make Logan younger again.

“But if you can’t then that’s perfectly fine with me…not sure about him.”

Referring to Victor
"Not quite, but the process leads to the final product. And you never want to be hasty -- especially dealing with alien elements. You don't want to introduce something potentially deadly into the environment -- or the atmosphere."

Hank raises a brow. "...oh? And what would that be?"

Hank raises a brow. "...oh? And what would that be?"
“So you’re more about the process rather than the final product. Guess the scientific method is your best strong suit and best friend. Speaking of friends, I have a friend of mine who wants a very tiny little favor if you’re willing to help out.”

She was being polite and soft when asking.
"This is the very beginning of the research cycle. Frustrating and exciting in equal measures. It may prove to be a big breakthrough! Or it is a simple plant with little value to our world. The potential is fascinating in its own way."

Hank chuckles and adjusts his glasses. "At least, to me."
