CalebHey. I just wanted you to know I'm going away for a few days with Oliver. But if there's anything you need, if anything happens, please reach out.
ZachI'm going to Westchester. Fool's errand, I know. But I need to see that it's not there, as stupid as it sounds.

Maybe. At least then it felt like things would be okay at home. That there were plenty of really good people taking care of X-Men business. We were safer, it was easier. But a long time off-world changes your perception, so the longer we stay here, the more content we'll get. Would you be content?

I think everyone else would say something similar. I don’t know why I can’t.

Well, yes. And there were still things to fix in the future. A son to raise, forces to fight. The same cause, really.

I don’t think happy is the word. Maybe it’s a sense of purpose. Maybe it’s not even that, but that it’s how I always first and foremost defined not just myself but the world around me, and everyone else in it. Maybe I’m just too weirded out by being happy here. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just always my role to think about these things so everyone else doesn’t have to, just in case.

God, I haven’t been called a boy scout in years. The things you miss.

Oliver and I use all of each other's names all the time, depending on the moment and whatever name we think of first. Katie prefers not to be called Jean. Caleb hates it when I call him Alex but I do it anyway.

Exactly. He's not getting rid of this bond that easily.
