[To say that Bobby had known that Kevin would come back would be a lie. But throughout this mission, from the very beginning, he hadn't let himself think about the possibility that he wouldn't. And now, grasping Kevin's hand, seeing him amongst his friends - his family - Bobby feels a wave of relief.

They hadn't failed him. They hadn't failed him like they failed John so many years ago. He was coming home, he was choosing to come home.

So Bobby smiles.]

Welcome back, Kevin.

[Kevin can't stop being surprised today. First he had completely misjudged how strongly his two best friends had felt about him, and how much they wanted him back. Now he's getting a warm, and very real, smile from Bobby Drake. Oh, he knows he's going to get in trouble once he's back, but for now, Kevin lets himself enjoy the moment and tries not to worry too much. He's amongst family now.

Family, he thinks. It must be real, since he's being welcomed as though he's one of their own, and Bobby's giving him a handshake minus gloves. They'll start keeping their distance again soon enough, and warily creep around him instead of how others are just pushed around in crowded hallways, but Kevin... he's going to be okay with it.]

Bobby, you guys... You guys didn't have to come. But you did. And I'm grateful for it.

[Bobby just shakes his head, still with a small smile on his face. He lets go of Kevin's hand and claps him on the shoulder.

Maybe it's true that they didn't have to come. But Bobby's experienced what can happen when you don't go after someone. And this time around there was no real choice about it. They had to come. It was that easy.]

I'm just... glad to have you back.

[Kevin truly is grateful. Without the sudden reappearance of all his friends, it may never have occurred to him to go back. To his real home. He could have just kept doing what he was doing and followed Mystique-as-Magneto blindly (very much so, as he'd been tricked as well as the other Brotherhood members) until something else drastic happened. Or died. Stick around Mystique long enough - or even the real Magneto, as Kevin was fooled to believe for so long - and Kevin surely would have ended up dead. Either by the Brotherhood's own hand or by some careless mistake in one of their missions.

And so maybe, the X-Men all converging here to come get him and bring him to his senses that he belongs with them and not with the Brotherhood... well, it just might have saved his life. They saved his life.

All that's just way too heavy to voice out loud. So Kevin just flashes a grin to Bobby, boards the jet, and pulls on his gloves.]
