Sometimes, things just Happen. Universes collide, heroes clash and unlike in places bound by IP rights owned by competing media companies, some people get left on the wrong side of things after the mess is cleaned up.

Or, maybe for some people, the right side. "It will be somewhere- well, not quiet, there are children around, but it's away from the city, and you're love Ororo's gardens. Don't tell her what you can already sense about them, she likes to show off her babies to people who'll appreciate the effort.

There's no commitment here, you just spend some time getting used to being in touch with an entirely separate but similar ecosystem."

Just wait until they offer him a teaching position. The telepathic background check is intense, but they are surprisingly lenient about anyone being legally qualified to teach. TA'd a class in grad school once? That's totally good enough to handle being in charge of the lives of minors with unstable and dangerous powers.

God, the money these people pay her to keep the lawsuits at bay.

"And aside from the Twinkie crumbs in the lab, you'll really like Hank, I'm sure."

This is a different green. A far more...subdued green? Considerably more serious? His attempts to reach out to it have been met with what he can only amount to "meh." It's a bit of a relief. An amazing place that represents a vacation.

"It's very peaceful here." Possibly because there are considerably more powered people here then there are back in his reality - or at least ones that can influence the environment. She probably can't tell, but he's excited. Parts of his great big green body are twitching and shifting a bit faster then normal.

It's probably because he's seen people flying, smashing into buildings, lifting objects three times their size and...yes. Felt the telepathic elements. Vaguely - muffled. He's so attuned to magic in his world it's nice to be...slightly cut off. To be a guest.

"It's so strange to only have people sort of give me double takes as opposed to just running screaming in the opposite direction."

He could get used to this.

"The children and teachers here all have abilities?" Like mine?

[lawdegreeverdigris]

"More or less. I think there are a few kids who got the raw end of the mutation deal and just look different. They keep them as- well as safe as possible with the whole protecting a world that hates and fears you deal." For the sake of argument and Ideal Worldbuilding, we'll go with the idea of the campus being seperate from the X-Men base because seriously, what the hell, Marvel.

And before she gets to say more, the doors are opening and there's a fuzzy blue guy- the fluffier of the two fuzzy blue options. And the lawyer facade drops enough for her to grab him in a hug. Don't worry about fuzz on the Prada, she's got a lint-roller in the car, just maybe worry slightly about your ribs. Sorry Hank.

Hank had been expecting the visit, and when he was made aware that a familiar and pleasant face was making its way towards the campus building, he had left the confines of his laboratory to meet them at the door.

"Jen. Wonde-oof!" Hank managed to get out her name before she had pulled him in for the gamma-enhanced hug. The initial popping of his back was rather nice (sometimes even with his advanced physical form it did get too stiff from spending time inside the lab) but then came the warning pains of possible internal injury.

"OwowowyesJenwonderfultoseeyouowribsribs!"

[lawdegreeverdigris]

"Right! Sorry!"

Jen put Hank down, smoothing any fur she's ruffled too terribly. "There. We're good." She's off the clock, she gets to be Jen. Well, the Jen that She-Hulk lets her be- confident, a bit impulsive, and capable of using a semi as a baseball bat.

"And more importantly- I want to introduce the two of you. Dr. Henry McCoy, Dr. Alec Holland." And then she puts on the I'm Only Following Some of What You Say But I'm Very Happy To See You Excited About Something face you perfect as Bruce Banner's baby cousin.
