Without a thought, Morph shifted back to his usual appearance. But maybe he should try to look like Mercury, because what she did was really cool, and even if Morph didn't get another mutant's powers when he looked like them, it was still awesome.
"Yeah, we were in the Hellions together. She was a really good friend." Obviously, or else why would Morph be risking his life for her right now? But Morph was loyal like that, and despite his better nature, this was sort of exciting. He'd get into so much trouble if the X-Men knew what he was doing, too. But a little rebellion for a good cause was fine, right?
