And any other words he thought about putting out into the air came crashing against the barricade of his teeth and suffered a prompt death before sliding back down his throat. Hank barely had the self-assurance to converse with Raven (and any other female really) when they were on good terms so now that the blonde beauty had made it clear, if his read on her body language was any indication and it probably wasn’t considering that was one field of science he had done little research in, it’d be a long time before he’d be allowed to start repairing the damage he’d done. The thought was enough to make his stomach fill unequivocally hollow.
He followed her lead, because well he had no choice but to, her grip on the end of his sleeve alarmingly tight and causing him to fumble his steps in the beginning. So much so that her ‘thank you’ didn’t even register, lost to the void and the brunette trying to keep from tumbling over at the pace she was moving them. To keep from thinking about the girl in front of him, he switched gears and started to focus on the time travel… occurrences? Issues? There was bound to be better terminology for it that others, namely Charles, would know. What he had pieced together in his head so far as that their entire group had been effectively ripped from `62 relatively around the same timeframe and then dropped off further down the timeline about fifty years. The most basic question would be why? Why them, and why this year, and why this place?
Not having the answers didn’t sit well with Hank at all.
The manor outline in the distance slowly gaining detail with every step forward brought him back out of his head. “Can I ask you a few questions?” He started hesitantly before adding. “About this place and the others, I mean. Not about -- I was just wondering about the town. Nevermind. It, uh, can wait.” Hank nodded in agreement with the end of his comment, keeping the syringe in a taut grip while mentally berating himself. He was starting to lose some steam having been up all night finishing his serum, and then the fight with Raven, and then… well, time travel. Now he was possibly back in the same fight with Raven all over again and he was just becoming a little loose around the edges.
