so sad. I had read about his foster parent forcing him to be like their decease son bu I never thought it's that heavy of a burden! Poor, poor Alex!

[echo_fangirl]

Thank you. :) I actually didn't know about the foster parent thing until I saw the prompt. Poor Alex indeed!

Of course in some version of x-men he doesn't have foster parent

There seems to be a lot of variation in a lot of characters' back stories! It's all good fun though, because it's easy to just use the bits you like and ignore the bits you don't like!

Re: OP Here!

Hello OP! I'm really pleased you enjoyed it! Thank you for owning your prompt, it's extra cool when the prompter responds. I didn't know about Alex's past until I read your prompt, and now I have a shiny new source of angst for Hank to protect him from. Yay!

Okay, this was sad and angsty and the end had just the right amount of fluff, but dear lord Sean was just priceless in this! Just, the way he and Hank were fumbling around and trying to figure out what to do had me grinning like crazy. "I'm not Todd either!" haha!

[echo_fangirl]

Heh, thank you! Sean just kept on insinuating himself in the scene, being all well-meaning and utterly unhelpful. (And making me giggle!)
