Hank closed his fingers around 'Toria's and glanced down at her as she stood next to him. His nose twitched, filling with mostly familiar scents. "I don't recall Stephen ever having a sense of humour about this sort of thing." he thought, his golden eyes glancing over at the Watcher. "Uatu either.."
He turned his attention back to Stephen as he began to speak, listening as he patiently repeated what he had already told Hank and 'Toria. As he finished Hank looked around at his former companions and the large newcomer who had been chosen to complete their team. "I know this is all a lot to take in. Especially when we believed our home realities were gone, and everything we knew and loved destroyed with them." Hank's eyes seemed to flare in anger at the lie that had been perpetrated on them, although he managed to keep his tone even as he continued. "But as Stephen has said that is simply untrue. Our worlds go on. No cataclysmic event has occured, other than the usual everyday ones we are all used to. We no longer have to hope that one day we can mend enough realities that we can some day return home. We can return home whenever we choose to." He smiled as he looked over at Tessa. "We are being asked to help. Not forced into doing it. Not cajoled into doing it. Not tricked into doing it. We can make a difference now because we want to."
