Becca felt a shiver run up her spine at the idea that, whoever was coming after Maya, a whole team of X-Men were not prepared for. If anything, the thought was a reminder that the team needed to expand, and they needed to get stronger.

The details of Maya’s struggle were… intense. Her girlfriend’s parents putting money on her head. An assassin mother. Hiding from mutant ninjas. All she could think to do was sigh. ”Weel. 'At puts ony ay mah relationship ur family drama intae perspectife.” Not that Becca ever really dealt with drama in her family life, but there really was no comparing “we split up for school and then I almost ruined her engagement” to “I had a girlfriend whose family hired my family to kill me.” Apples and oranges, really.

Resigning herself to accepting what had happened, Becca slipped her arm around Maya’s waist and hugged her. ”Ah willnae question whit ye did anymair. Ah’m jist happy yer back.” As a small affirmation of her appreciation for Maya managing to not get herself killed, she planted an innocent kiss on her fellow X-Woman’s cheek. ”Th' team was missin' aw th' reckless an' daring ye brin' wi' ye.”

>>”Weel. 'At puts ony ay mah relationship ur family drama intae perspectife.”

Maya shrugged with a small smile. "Everybody has some."

Sure, her family drama was more... life and death than some others, but she could not claim no one had it worse. It was over now anyway, she survived, and so did her mother. That was a clear win in Maya's book. Even if Evelyn had left in the meantime...

"I'm happy I'm back too" Maya agreed, smiling at the friendly kiss on her cheek "This is home. And I missed you too."

It was good to have an old friend back, and on her side. Mostly because she knew that Sam was not going to take her return nearly this well.

"Now... tell me someone has been feeding my dog."
