[Hank can't help but wince a little in sympathy. He didn't have iron stoves to avoid, but with what he had done to his office, he'd inadvertently turned it into an accident waiting to happen - for his feet, for claws, whichever.

He nods, his eyes briefly tracking Kurt's tail curiously before looking back to him proper] I think you mean contracting, but - mm, I was working for them as a researcher.

[ecclesiophobic]

That's exactly the word I meant. You'll have to forgive me, it's late and English is not my first language. [Also he's been drinking.

The bit about working for the government as a researcher is interesting. He's not certain if it counts as a similarity or a difference to the Beast he knew, but it's information he files away regardless.] Might I ask what you were researching?

[beathach]

Ah - no, it's fine. I think everyone has issues with English, even if it's their first language. [or it's because words are hard, Hank, just say that.

He doesn't hesitate in his answer - there's no reason to, the whole thing was scrapped at the end anyway, and it was mostly his research in the first place] Supersonic flight was one of my bigger projects. I - don't know if you're familiar with it, but I built the first version of Cerebro as well.

A - not a side project, but more of a reason why the division even existed was that my boss was interested in mutants - in a good way. He wanted to look into using paranormal powers for military defense, and just - interested in us in general. He was so excited when he met Charles.
