Not that he thinks the biker is incapable of such an act, far from it, but it's a little surprising to see him do it for someone that Scott's entirely unfamiliar with. Well, unfamiliar, until Mikey speaks and then everything clicks into place, the mutant's eyes widening slightly from behind his sunglasses. The weak form, the frail body that he's looking at...
It's Mikey.
Mikey from the 'original' timeline? The one without time travel. If Scott's fully honest about all that, he's had a semi-difficult time keeping track of what everything Mikey told him, but he knows what he's seeing now in front of him and it causes the mutant to step closer. He doesn't stop until he's right in front of the broken Mikey and he gently places a hand against his.]
...So, this is you. [Scott says quietly, but without judgment.] A version of you, at least.
