Yo. So I've kinda got a question for people who've done this whole [waving a hand] "hero thing" before, or gotten involved in these sorta fights. What do you tell your family 'n all that about - this whole mess? Do ya tell them anything? 'Cause ma came to the big city for New Year's, an' we were talkin' about things... I just wasn't sure what to say.

I don't wanna go scarin' her, or get her involved in this mess. But I don't wanna lie.

Any thoughts?

[Locked to his team:]

And by the way, ma brought a hamper of stuff to share with friends. Shit, you'd think she was trying to make me explode: I've got enough here to keep me goin' for weeks. So... I wanna split this with you guys. You up for it?

It's one thing the X-men are really good for.

[Pushing each other towards greater self-control. At least, that's been a large part of the way the older ones have mentored him.]

...Never really thought of it like that. I mean, sure, I'm learnin' control techniques and all but ... never really put that with the fighting stuff.

Context, dude. Like, punching a guy for making fun of your shoes is different from punching that same guy if he pulls a knife on people in the street, you know?

I mean, the point is... It's not like it's always bad to fight. And if we might have to anyway, learning how to do it and have everybody walk away is a pretty important thing!
