[Victor looks a little annoyed when he turns on his console tonight. Behind him, the view of his suite is blocked by some rock. A big, talking rock to be exact. Santo's right there behind him.]

Hey, everyone. I've got a question for everyone that's familiar with superheroes. It's about the costumes. They're an important thing to have, right? For a lot of reasons like protecting and hiding secret identities.

But this guy [He jerks a thumb over his shoulder at Santo.] just says they're stupid.

Don't get me wrong, the costumes are cool but that's about it. Wearing one just to hide your identity is what's stupid. You don't see Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, or Hawkeye worried about people knowing who they are. Hell, Luke Cage doesn't even wear a costume and he kicks all kinds of ass!

Besides, you don't see any X-Men hiding behind a mask.

[Victor just rolls his eyes.]

Lots of X-Men have worn masks. [He shakes his head.] So what do you guys think? Costumes important for superheroes or not?

The answer is obviously not.

[Victor doesn't even bother replying. He just gives Santo a look.]

Thunderbird as well.

[He nods a little and while not original, he was still an early member. The list would have then going on for hours just naming people.]

There's a lot of reasons for every little aspect of a costume.

[Which was obvious.]

This genuinely came up in a conversation? I'm...not actually that surprised really.

[Victor nods.]

Masks aren't completely uncommon to mutants.

Exactly. Santo's just hung up on masks and saying they're all stupid.

[He offers a smile.]

Why aren't you surprised? We were talking about costume different heroes wore and the ones he and I used in San Francisco came up and...

For secret identities. Not all masks are stupid.

[You're both amusing him. Seriously.]

It's not the oddest thing to hear about, is it? I'm sure I've had way stranger with people.

[Then to Santo.]

I think most people go with the secret identity over aesthetics when it comes to the actual mask idea.

You're right, it does get stranger. [He chuckles.] Strange is pretty much a requirement with us X-men, isn't it?

It's in the small print.

That's always where they get us. [He smiles at this.] At least it's not something weird.

It's not that strange, but it's just weird, okay? It's pretty much the same as hiding.

Some people have something to hide and some people have others to protect. There's nothing wrong with it.

I guess so, but it's not like they can just hide forever.

No, but they can try if they want.

You're right... [Take that in, Kurt. Santo doesn't admit things like that often.]

You should have been more specific when you said it then.

Dude, what's my favorite sport and what do most of those guys wear?

See, that's a trick question because you like the one that isn't actually a sport. [Teasing you so much, Santo.]

[Oh hell no.]

Don't make me come over there.

I'm not scared of you.

Don't forget I still owe you for the last hundred time's you've thrown me out of a building.

Like you didn't deserve every single one of them.

Just as much as you deserve it right now.

[Vic shakes his head.]

For what?

You do not insult the great and noble sport of wrestling.

I didn't insult the sport. I pointed out what you watch isn't a sport. It's oily, half naked men acting out a soap opera script in between grabbing and throwing each other.

[...]

Okay, look, I know that's the line I used to get you to sit down and watch it with me, but don't describe it like that again, please. [It ain't like that, bro.]

Besides, there's also lucha and sumo.

We'll see.

[He quirks a brow.] Since when do you watch sumo?
