Alexander turned to Ether and nodded his thanks as he took the ticket, holding onto it since he hadn't made pockets when he had created the suit.  It was a combat armored unit, not a school uniform or anything like that, and thus he had not felt the need for such a thing.  His regular clothes, when he actually wore them when not in the suit, did.  For now, he was about to reply when they were suddenly elsewhere.  How that had happened he wasn't entirely sure as he turned around and came face to face with two mutants he knew, at least one of them for sure, and a third he had never heard of.  His helmet having fell back into place, Alexander got the results from his scans and almost replied to his AI onboard computer when it came up with the results to their threat levels.  He held back the profanity however, and held out his hand to Storm first, having great admiration for the X-Man that could control the very weather through the use of her emotions alone, knowing such control must be hard all the time for fear of causing disasters on a global scale.  Emma Frost on the other hand he didn't know so well, but that would change in due time he was sure.  "Storm, I never thought I'd see you all the way out here in space, on a strange planet no less.  It is an undisputed honor to see you again."  Not even thinking she might be from another reality than his own, Alex hoped she'd recognize him under the armor as his helmet disengaged and allowed his face to be revealed to the three before him.  "Emma, I'd recognize you anywhere.  You on the other hand, I do not know."  He said to the man last, wondering who this fellow was with the smiley face on his chest.  "The name is Alexander Ripley Vergilis.  I am an inventor, weapons and defensive system manufacturer beyond anything Tony Stark could dream up, and I'm only 25 years old.  Who are you and how did you all get here?"
