The Mutant Regression Resort
Beast had some growing concerns about news of a so-called 'Resort' for mutants who were struck with regression due to a strange manifestation of their X-Gene, an encounter with Mojo or Nanny, or some other strange phenomena. Hank wanted to send someone undercover to the island resort but didn't have that many people to choose from amongst the X-Men. After all a majority of the X-Men were either orphaned or estranged from their parents. Of those that remained Hank came to the unfortunate realization that he was the best person for the job. Especially since he had both at least one parent he could recruit and the scientific genius to figure things out.
Of course, it wasn't hard to talk Edna into going along with things. Especially since Hank had grown up far too fast especially during the formative years. Of course, Hank had no idea that his Mother might have ulterior motives for going along with all this. But they had the trip on the cruise ship to discuss things and Hank to get used to pull-ups. Since in the privacy of their cabin on the ship Hank could retain his dignity and use the toilet and take care of himself like an adult. Of course, this was also his plan after they got on the island. But Edna would be pretty much in charge upon arrival when Edna would be the one calling the shots.
After all Hank had to play along with whatever Edna said to the island's staff or risk blowing his cover. At least when they were out in public for the most part. And speaking of public the announcement that the ship was pulling into dock went up and Hank sighed as he finished hiding the rest of his equipment. And then climbed into the oversized stroller that was ready and waiting for him. "You sure you don't want to go with the carriage?" Hank jokingly asked as he waited for Edna to buckle him in. Pulling on the childish T-Shirt that spelled out 'HANK' in blocks and grabbing his pacifier. "How do I look?" Hank wondered fidgeting in the stroller seat just a little bit.
