[A joke. Right. He remembers those. There's so much fear and dread when he thinks of the bomb. But it's probably thank to the warmth of the hug and the familial feelings that he finds himself able to laugh at it.]

Trust me, you don't have to tell me twice. [Then he pulls back a bit to get a good look at her.] Did that - that time thing really work alright? You're okay?

[Kurt himself had been pretty messed up at the end of that all, and now he was good as new. Rogue seemed to be the same, but he had to make sure.]

[touchofrogue]

All parts present an' accounted for. [She gives him a searching look.] You?

[wildbluevagner]

I'm glad to hear that. And me... I'm good as new. [He holds up one of his hands, flexing all three fingers in front of his face as if double-checking.] I feel - just as fine as I did before this whole mess. [It really was like his body was sent back in time. Sure, he's grateful for it, but it still feels so weird.]

[touchofrogue]

[She closes her eyes in relief.] Good.

[Opening her eyes again, her gaze is sober.] Let's try an' keep it that way. We've got a little more time now, but we need to find that bomb.

[wildbluevagner]

Right. [He says, as he fumbles for confidence.] We can do it... right? We're the X-Men. This is our jam.

[touchofrogue]

Dancin' to the end of the world. [She gives Kurt a small, hard smile.] C'mon. We've gotta find the others an' make a plan. We can do this.

[wildbluevagner]

[He gives her a fond smile.]

Right. Let's make it happen!

[Maybe they really could beat this bomb. Maybe they really could beat Apocalypse.

Kurt gives one more quick yet tight hug before he pulls back to disperse in search of the others.]
