[It's hard to be sure of the camera's angle, but it's definitely propped up somehow, with the speaker hanging upside-down from the ceiling, because why not. Scrawny, scruffy, in his early teens, and some kind of fuzzy, blue elf-demon. When he speaks, it's with a clipped Brooklyn accent.]

So... the turtle is new and different. I've done space whales, but not reality-turtles.

Anyway. Longshot, but any of my team here? Lookin' for a General James Howlett especially, or Miz Alison Blaire? ...Hercules? ...Emmaline Frost-Summers? I mean, she doesn't even like me and I think she's a goddess now, but worth a shot.

Guessing not, though, so does anybody need somethin' fixed? Because I hate being bored, and unless somebody's got a mission that needs doing, I'mma be a huge pain in the butt.

[She smiles kindly, chuckling a little.]

For a long time, I was the shortest member of X-Factor. I'm still pretty much pocket-sized. But, that was because I was a kid.

[spideyfanone]

I think I maybe missed a growth spurt in there.

[Possibly during the two years he spent locked in a tube.]

Also, yeah, only kid.

[laylaknowsstuff]

[Probably. She'd heard yoga helps.]

You'll catch up. You're still young.

[spideyfanone]

[He's betting not, given... circumstances.]

Sure, I'll try eating spinach or something.

[laylaknowsstuff]

I've got faith in you.

[spideyfanone]

I'm pretty sure it's a whole genetic and environmental thing, not a matter of willpower.

[laylaknowsstuff]

I believe in your genetics and environment.

[spideyfanone]

...Yeah, well, I have data. It's way more useful than believing in stuff. And the forecast isn't great on the environment thing. Genetics is mostly unknown.
