[With Nate's apology, Scott's shoulders droop, like they're no longer trying to hide how upset he is. Keeping up with that anger was familiar and easy in a way, but underneath all that, he's just been feeling lost. Overwhelmed from the mission itself, hearing all this new information, and not knowing how to really direct the way he's been feeling. He's always lacked that, direction, a goal.
At least having a few days to himself has blunted some of his more reactive anger, with the lingering embers quickly dying down as the other mutant keeps talking. He's not sure if it helps that Nate is his son... no matter how weird and out of place that feels, or maybe it's just that he simply has come to care about him a lot during the Solmara mission. Working together and everything.
Or maybe it's finally having some understanding of someone else's perspective, other than his own. Quentin mentioned that Nate was the one that wanted to hide all this in the first place and guess he can understand why. In a way. It would be weird to see your dad as a teenager, right? Probably. Just as weird as seeing his son as someone older than him.
Even if he's not the actual Scott that is his dad. As Nate mentioned, it's all weird.]
Great, join the club. [The club of knowing Scott Summers, the other Scott. The one that everyone seems to be comparing him to. A hard ass, apparently. Someone that no one seems to like, but is still leader of the X-Men?? He doesn't understand any of it, really, but he just feels so tired. Uncertain. This other version of him is making him feel like an outcast, despite what Sophie has told him, that they're supposedly family.

...Sorry, I don't really hate you.
