[That's ... impressive. He was on a team with Hercules? Bobby may not be the most well-read of individuals, but of course he knows who Hercules is. Or was. Now that he's here, he finds himself wishing that he had done the kind of homework that Hank was wont to do. That would certainly help him right now.
The idea of leaving for another team is odd to him. Bobby can't imagine himself being with another group. That's helped along by the fact that his older self is very much aligned with the X-Men—the mostly less sketchy X-Men at that. They may have chosen to go to older Scott's base, but facts are facts. (Wolverine almost trumped those facts, but he's ... gone now.)
As it is, he tries not to weigh it too long in his mind, even if it does make him a little uncomfortable to think about. Other Bobbys always make him squirm a little. But hey, explanation. He can give that, even if it's usually someone like Professor Kitty who's giving the explanation. He really wishes she was here right now. Or even Professor Illyana, who is also pretty good at taking care of things.]
Well, [he begins, putting out one hand.] The big furry Hank thought that he needed to bring us to the future to knock some sense into Scott, so he did, insisting that Scott, boring old Scott, was going to cause a mutant genocide. [He lowers his hand and raises the other one, as if he's moving on to another point.] He may have exaggerated a little, but we're stuck in the future, even if we've tried to go back. So, I've met my now-equally-translucent self with all the spikes.
[After another beat, Bobby drops his other hand and slouches his shoulders forward.]

Champions, though! That's a great name.
