"I'm not supposed to know, but we rescued them from some fucked up government lab. Don't really know what happened to the original." If John had any idea just how different things were for Remy... but he doesn't, and the significance of the familiarity escapes him for the most part. They had suspected Gambit had fallen in with the X-Men after a while, but they had never confirmed it, nor were they sure of his actual allegiance — if indeed he had any at all. "And he's fine in my world too, though not for lack of trying. But obviously —" John makes a stalling or placatory gesture. "— that's not important here."
Not least because Xavier could scramble his brains in the blink of an eye. He might prefer not to but he could. "So, where did he die? And who's the ex-member?"
His tone does not suggest malice towards this person. He's sure it'd be best for everyone if he just stayed away.
