"You're telling me that a little kid did this to him? Took away his fur and made him smaller.. Of course I guess that is better than him being on the brink of death.."
She shakes her head for a moment.
"Right. So. We need to get him upstairs. Do you think you have enough energy left? I'll help you."
He stands and waits a minute, then concentrates and mutters the words of a levitation spell, and focusses it on the Doc. Slowly Hank rises from the ground and floats above it.
He follows her, directing Hank with his mind, and slowly, slowly moving. By the time they reach their rooms, he is sweating. He has used a lot of energy and effort during all this mess and he is starting to feel like he could sleep... for a year.
"I was so worried!"
Reply
"Yeah. I was a little worried too..."
He smiles at her.

Softly, "I'm glad you're okay."
Reply
"I'm glad to. I am defintiely glad to be back here. I just wish I knew what happened to the Doc."

"That's Doctor Blue?
He's..not blue."
Reply
"Nope. He is definitely not blue, or furry, or large and clawed. But I saw it with my own eyes. That is Hank McCoy."
He thinks.

Paaaaaause.
"Um."
Another pause.
"Well. We can't leave him like this.
...
Not as in we need to fix him..
Necesserally..
But we shouldn't just drop him off somewhere..
In case he needs help or something's wrong or..
Something."
Beat.
"What HAPPENED exactly??"
Reply
"Have I mentioned I love you?"
Then he nods.
"We should likely watch him for awhile."
Then he chuckles again.
"Better sit down. This is going to take awhile."
And he fills her in on the whole story, exactly as he saw it, anyway.

"Yeah. I think so."

He nods and turns to Cassie.
"Lead on."

She holds the door open for Billy and Hank, then runs and gets some sheets and blankets for the couch.

As soon as Hank's down Cassie reaches for Billy in case he decides to collapse.

"I love you, Cassie. Thanks."
Those words are full of a lot of sentiment and he smiles at her.

Playfully, "Well someone's got to take care of you."
She kisses him.
"Now come on, you need to get into bed." She takes a few steps toward the bedroom, still supporting him.
Reply
"I can definitely go for that plan. I am wornnnn out. Alternate Universss and team ups always tire me out."
As they reach the bed, he kind of flops on it and closes his eyes.
