[Scott can't help but snort, a small laugh coming from the teen as Hiyori repeats Bakugo's 'catchphrase.' Yeah, he's been on the end of those comments quite a few times. Of course nothing to really take seriously, but he's sure heard them for one reason or another.]

Yeah, I'm leaving him to say all that on repeat. He's got it covered.

[But yeah, not really in it for the glory. Hiyori's right about right. It's a lot to think that he'll probably end up being on national television some day, because that's how they're going to let the X-Men be known, right? Going out there and helping others. They can't do that in secret, not if the point is to improve relations...

For a moment, Scott almost feels himself lost in his thoughts, but the mutant focuses back on the idol. His questions don't bother him at all, something actually patient settling on his face. He hasn't really had a bad interaction so far when it comes to people dealing with mutants, so that's helped a lot. Makes it easy to explain his species without feeling defensive.]

Are you saying that I'm an oddity? [Eyebrow arch, but he's not upset at all.] Don't know anything about that guy, since there's aliens and other life forms here, but for me, a mutant has to have something known as the X-Gene. It's what gives me and the others our powers.
