That was always a nebulous cloud when one was an X-man and in part that was one of the reasons he had finally stepped away and sought out a simpler life. As he tended to shoulder his own problems privately, as noble as his self sacrifice had been to using himself as the vessel for the cure of the Legacy virus having come back to life had taken a toll on the big man. Not to mention the actions with the Phoenix Force and Avatar of Cyttorak and all the people he had hurt along the way. While some might have seen his actions even in those times as heroic and noble, aspects still haunted him. Those he had hurt also left deep scars, chief among them was Kitty. Not that he hadn't hurt her in turn through his own actions unintentionally.<br/><br/>He knew her well, he knew that look in her eyes and while there was so many things he secretly ached to tell her but given his current role and his return, he didn't know how or if he should. It was always a conflict with him, how duty came first. It was something that had caused their relationship to end before and he knew that given Kitty's new role, things would only get more complicated. He gave her a knowing smile in response but thankfully before saying anything, the two newcomers had arrived. He moved himself into a slightly defensive posture beside Kitty out of habit, nothing overt or threatening but more to respond quickly if needed. He knew Kitty wouldn't need his protection but the baby in the vehicle beside him possessed no such ways to defend itself.<br/>
