Do you find you have to eat more? I do. I have to eat a lot.

[beathach]

[he tilts his head, considering]

I wouldn't say it's a huge difference, but if I eat - er, normally, I end up eating more like this.

[takingkarabusiness]

My sister's always getting on my case for not gaining weight ever, but I can't complain.

[beathach]

[now he just looks confused]

You don't . . . look like you need to? [a pause] Or is this a, uh - "girl thing"?

[takingkarabusiness]

Because I eat so much crap. She's jealous.

[beathach]

Ah. [so it is a girl thing] I've . . . never understood that. A faster metabolism isn't necessarily a good thing.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ shrugs ]

As long as it's regulated, whatever works best for people. I also can't really bulk out, since my strength isn't exactly correlated to big muscles.

[beathach]

[he nods in understanding]

That makes sense. I'd say mine isn't, but - you've seen what I look like with the serum.

[aka a twig]

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, tall!

[beathach]

[he grins a little]

I'm not that tall.

[he says, knowing he towers over most]

[takingkarabusiness]

Taller than me! And I'm a little on the tall side. Taller than Winn.

[beathach]

I'm sure someone out there is taller than I am.

[takingkarabusiness]

Are you trying to humble yourself out of being tall, Hank?

[beathach]

. . . er. Maybe?

[takingkarabusiness]

We'll work on that. It's okay to just own things, you know.

[beathach]

I know how to - uh, own things. Sometimes.

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean, the good things too.

[beathach]

[he kind of. Makes a face]

I'll work on it.

[takingkarabusiness]

If you need any reminders, you can always call me. I'll think of very complimentary things to say.

[beathach]

Reminders to - own the good things? [he grins] That's nice of you.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yep!

Like how brave you're being here. I basically freaked out for a month about people figuring out I have powers.

[beathach]

Brave? [he repeats it with disbelief] I wouldn't call it that, but - I mean, I've done this before, sort of.

[takingkarabusiness]

Remember the part where I'm reminding you to own the good things? I would call it that.

What was the other place like?

[beathach]

N-No, really, it's . . . more being exasperated by the whole thing, and - talking to a number of mutants and other people with powers right off the bat. [it helped he wasn't doing it alone, either]

But the other place was - kind of like here? Except it wasn't in space, and everyone was in varying states of amnesia.

[takingkarabusiness]

Amnesia? Everyone?
