Thomas didn't respond immediately to her reply concerning her own team. He had always imagined the X-folk to bee good enough people. A little short sighted on their dream, but good enough. "Yeah some things can be a lot different when you see them up close.". He was trying to talk about the difference between their worlds without mentioning it directly. A difficult task.
After hearing Jean's response to the date, Speed stood and turned. "The first date, or the first cute one?" He asked with a wry grin. "So how bout that date? You want to ditch this school and go into the city for some fun, or hang out here?" He asked while trotting over to her. He then picked her up and placed her into his arms pigging back style. It was all very spontaneous and abrupt. Once Thomas set his eyes on something, he wasn't known to beat around the bush about it. "Either way I'll give you the Speed Pass there."
