"You may not all want to be so close together, as that does seem to complicate and perpetuate the problem at hand." Hank spoke to all three of the sizeably challenged X-Men. "I'm afraid that is the only way to stop the process due to the nature of the radiation involved. We'll have to keep you all in specially insulated rooms."

"You mean you're lockin' us up?" Jubes yelled just to be heard.

"Keeping you where we can find you while you are this small is also a good idea for your safety. Plus you'll stop shrinking when you are no longer exposed to the radiation, so separating you keeps you from continually exposing each other. We don't know how far you will continue to shrink if you continue to be exposed."

"I for one am anxious to stop shrinking, Hank, so just point me in the direction of the jail cell." Jean said.

"It is the third door on the left. Forge and I have modified the operating rooms. Given your minimal exposure I expect you to be back to normal by tomorrow afternoon. And you Logan, seem to be making some progress on your own as well." Hank said as he handed Logan a towel since he was rapidly growing right out of his clothes. "I imagine that at the rate you are regenerating you will be back to normal by tonight."

"But what about me, Hank?" Jubes asked.

"Well, Jubilee. It seems our resident firecracker has had to take the brunt of this setback of mine, for which I am eternally apologetic--"

"Yeah yeah furball, you can take me to a movie or something. Just gimme the bad news already."

"I think you may be waiting for two weeks before the radiation wears off."

"Two weeks!"

"On the bright side you should be at least of a safe size in 3 to 4 days. But I can't let you wander around outside the lab's insulated room until we are certain that you will no longer cause the radiation to affect anyone else you encounter." Hank's glasses slid off of his nose to the floor.

"Hank. I hope you prepared and extra room for your self." Logan said.

"This is what I get for hanging out with you people!"
