It's just hard for me to believed you'd risk your two dumb asses coming to get me like this. I mean, did I tell you? I actually thought you were on some kind of mission when I saw you guys, dispatched by the X-Men or something, and it was either coincidence or something that you guys had to be in the same place as me.

Kevin looks at Jono and Ali carefully.]
