[from here;

It's an anger that Hank understands well. He can't help but frown himself, some of the anger peeking through as he makes an agreeing noise mixed with a low growl. It was both similar and different from Kyriakos, because at least there, you knew when people went home; here, it's a guessing game whether or not they did]

I haven't seen a pattern either, and that's about what I've heard, too. It's a little frustrating to think about.

[A growl coming from the figure that he was now compared to when Mystique first saw Hank had so much more impact and seemed far more fitting, though she was sure he wouldn't appreciate that comparison. So Mystique kept it to herself, allowing a raised brow at the grumble before focusing on his words.] Yet currently out of our control, so pointless to dwell on what can't be changed and only focus on what can. Maybe a way to use their own technology against them, either as a resistance or a way to communicate with our worlds and find a way back, for those who want to go. It's outside my realm of expertise, but maybe not yours.

You're giving me a bit too much credit. [it comes out wry, his lips quirking briefly. But it isn't denial; he'd be lying if he said that wasn't something he wanted to find out, or didn't have plans to see exactly what he could manage with what they were allowed. Hell, Charles, Erik, and he have already discussed it.

After all, they were used to being trapped]

But it is something worth looking into.

If you do, I do hope I would be kept in the loop. [At least in regards to the resistance side of it, she had little use for heading back home now. Being dead there took some of the heat out of needing to escape.

Letting her form melt back into the blonde woman who had entered the dance, Mystique let one corner of her mouth lift in a light smirk at Hank.] Don't stay out too long, Hank, all this 'fresh air' can't be too good for you.

[beathach]

[he can't help but stare at her for a moment, before he has to look away, huffing out a noise] Of course I'd keep you in the loop. If I find something. [he adds the last part, because without it, he just sounds . . . he isn't sure. She's still Mystique, he has to remind himself.

He glances back as she changes back and makes a face] I won't. Try to enjoy yourself, Mystique.

[That smile increased at the face he made, wondering if the reason for it was for her use of powers or her comment. It would be so funny if it was the former considering their first talk, his apprehension to his serum running out. Yet so unnecessary now with the mutant standing in front of her, a man who was so clearly mutant.] You too, Beast. [That smile a little teasing as she headed back inside.]
