X-Reboot

[Bandit Keith]

'''Nevermind that ...'' Jubilee had her arms crossed with the pull-up still in her hands frowned like a mother or older sibling might as she listened though her brows was raising higher and higher at how Hank was talking about the pull-up matter'' Where in the world had you been shopping ? Where Storm shops for me and others when regressed..? I mean not many stores last I check sell padding with prints for normal sized teens let alone abnormal sized adults''Jubilee started unaware that the thing behind all the strangeness has had padding in all sorts of sizes made and getting stocked in stores all over.

Jubilee knew something was indeed up with Hank putting a pull-up on'' Well you better use them then like a good little boy who has potty problems'' Jubilee said sarcastically despite the red flags popping up in her head as Hank always was against her when she just wanted padding for comfort reasons before she outgrew the interest from all the negative regressions

"I'd offer you one if you wanted... but I think they'd be a bit too big." Hank sheepishly noted as he toe scuffed, waiting for Jubilee to give her permission to put the pull-up on. She could probably tell there was something a bit more childish about him but it didn't seem to be too extreme as of yet. Well, other than wanting to put the pull-ups on like he actually needed them. "I just went to the store where my playmate got his Bedtime Bear and they had all sorts of stuff. I almost wanted to buy it all." Hank blushed as he admitted how tempted he was by the childish things. Jubilee even saw a few other childish or babyish things peeking out of the bags.

"Really? They had pull-ups and diapers for all ages with prints on them. All those new shows I was watching with the other children." Other children? That might have raised some alert bells for Jubilee... since Hank was referring to himself as a child. Hank cocked his head as Jubilee told him that he better use them like a good little boy. "O... Okay. If you say so." Hank pulled the pull-up on and into place and bounced a bit happily in place. "I even got powder..." Hank noted as he squeezed a big cloud of baby powder into his pull-up like a child would.

Indeed it was easy to tell Hank was more childish then he should be and was starting to wonder why Hanks mental shielding would allow this... Or does he want this? Could that be it or maybe his unstable genetics...

Now not only was Jubilees alarm bells ringing over hearing diapers and pull-ups with prints for all ages was at a regular store for children but also more alarm bells was raised when she heard Hank reference himself as a child but she had no way to confirm if that was a slip of the tongue or not ''Whatever but that's far too much powder '' Jubilee slacked just enough as she thought how to use this for her advantage and test somethings out'' There is Carebear cereal and other food products stocked now if you want something to eat'''

[Diaper Beast]

Hank giggled a bit at Jubilee fussing about the powder. "Never enough powder. It smells like my bears." Hank picked up bedtime bear, hugs, and tugs and pulled them in close for a massive hug and took a deep sniff of them. He purr-rumbled and smiled over at Jubilee before putting the bears back on his bed after giving them each a kiss on the forehead. "Will you help me make my bed later?" Hank ashed sheepishly. "I want to get my new sheets on the bed before naptime. Or at least bedtime."

Hank seemed oddly happy though... way happier than he's been in a while. So at least he was out of his usual funk... even if he was putting on pull-ups and acting childish. "Oh? I must have missed them. I was looking at all the padding and clothes and toys. Will you make me something to eat?" Hank padded over and hugged Jubilee and took her hand. She knew he was used to running around in just his X-Speedo. But seemed to not care he'd be doing the same in pull-ups if Jubilee didn't stop him.

Jubilees blinked Hank really might be regressing in the remark about Bedtime, this isn't anything good as when the majority of people started acting strange with the boon of nostalgia media and Nostalgia products ...will only kids and those been regressed in the past or mental abilitys to detect and thus counter the affects be mostly immune? … Though that's if they catch it in time... As she noticed Charles and Jean are starting to act weird too while Emma frost is fine yet she hasn't said anything and Emma might just not watch newer stuff...So she might just never had the chance to get affected .

''Can't you do your own bed? I'll help sure but you are old enough to do it on your own.'' Jubilee pointed out hoping to remind Hank of his age as despite liking him out of his usual funk. Its still worrisome in general to her But that seemed hopeless to break him out of it when she was asked to Make Hank something to eat.'' Well its close to time for the kids to be up so I suppose you can eat what they're having'' Jubilee remarked as its the weekend and like most of this nostalgia driven boon Saturday Morning cartoons had returned too

Hank seemed to be being effected by whatever was going on more swiftly than others. Maybe due to his almost frustrating level of maturity at times. Or the fact that he might be able to prevent what was going on if he wasn't so happily going along with it. Or because some part of him wanted or needed this break from maturity. It does seem to be related to the nostalgia effect... and Hank's eager acceptance of it might also have some bearing. The big conundrum is whether to try to prevent it or actually let Hank and others complete their regression as some seemed happy.

"Awww... I suppose. But it's easier if you help." Hank pouted a little bit. Hank took Jubilee's hand to hold as they left his room. The big toddler-acting Beast not even seeming to pay a single thought to the fact he was walking around in Hugs & Tugs themed pull-ups. "They even had some bedtime bear footie pajamas. I can't wait to wear them to bed tonight." Hank looked excited as they walked to the kitchen, his pull-up rustling softly and poofing out little clouds of baby powder from his overuse of the softly scented cub powder. "What are the other kids having?"

[Bandit Keith]

Though as things went Jubillee know things would go sideways no matter what even if the matter was tried to be prevented ,reversed or completed … The only real joy she has gotten out of this was Hank is happy and not in a funk... Mainly the joy is hes her friend honestly and she never likes seeing her frienks in a funk or upset...

Still Jubilee was caught off guard Hank not caring He'll be seen in a pull-up out and about much like his Speedo's and often time underwear running around though she couldn't help chuckle at the powder poofs really as its cute and funny to do aswell as much like a scene from a cartoon''Oh you sure you won't be too hot ? Can't let you get sick from the heat '' Jubilee was quick to say worried about Hanks fur covered state making him in danger of heat based trouble going to bed in such jamamies '' Nothing special cereal and milk while watching Saturday morning cartoons '' Jubilee offered at the question of food

[Diaper Beast]

She knew how Beast would handle it... find the cause and try to stop it or make a deal to stop it. Maybe she could even sacrifce Hank to restore everyone else. He seemed happy with what was going on after all. And had been a problem for the X-Men for a while. So this would prevent him playing with his own genetics or messing with the timestream. Of course, Jubilee would have to figure out who or what was the cause of all of this first since it seemed like Hank wasn't going to be much help.

Beast smiled at Jubilee and drooled just a bit. "I'll be okies." Hank offered, and Jubilee could always turn the air conditioner on in Hank's room or make him sleep with Iceman if she was really worried. "Mmm, sounds good." Hank smiled warmly and was thrilled when he saw the box of Care Bears cereal. "Wow... cool." Hank bounced up and down and eagerly waited with his thumb in his mouth while Jubilee made him breakfast. Hank sitting down on the floor in the kitchen for now until she was finished.

[Bandit Keith]

Jubilee wouldn't want to sacrifice Hank but it'd be the lesser of two evils as she couldn't let the matter stay the course in general as how its seeming she wouldn't be surprised if this ended up be a scenario like in Totally Spies in fact ...now that she thinks about it this is almost like a rip-off from two of them one where someone seen the past as better bringing all sorts of things back in someway and another where someone is regressing people to children via nostalgic like toys...

''You'll sleep with Bobby then just to be safe'' Jubilee remarked on the being fine matter trying to ignore the drool matter Hank has started to do wonder if that's further regression or just Hank Hungry as she grabbed instead of a regular cereal bowel a serving bowel and poured cereal aswell as milk in the bowel knowing with Hanks fast metabolism and size he will be able to eat all the cereal and drink the milk that's in the bowel easily

[Diaper Beast]

Besides... Beast didn't seem to currently mind so much about the state he was in. He seemed to really embrace the childhood aspects... as he seemed to be regressing faster than most people she's run into. As much as he fussed about things normally and wanted to be left alone in his lab... now he was happily playing with the X-Children and enjoying himself. Hank bounced in his seat just a bit as Jubilee worked on making him breakfast. "Oh? Me and Bobby gonna have a sleepover?"

Hank asked, though Jubilee might note the fact that Hank violated proper grammar there by putting himself first. He was slipping a bit more... though didn't seem to notice or mind. "I hope I don't leak..." Beast whispered to himself in regard to the sleepover, as if he expected to wet the bed. Or possibly already had at this point. He had bought pull-ups? Were they more from desire or expected need? Regardless Beast eagerly began shoveling cereal into his mouth. Milk dribbling down his chin.
