[Is it a relief that he's getting sassed by his older self in some way? On one hand, wow, but on the other hand, it's good to know that he doesn't become someone with no sense of humor... even if this older Scott is a different version of him altogether. Probably. Just because he's not the same Scott from the other universe with all the mutants, it doesn't mean they're related in any way. So many different realities and shit.
It's probably for the best. He doesn't want to add on the complicated feeling of this Scott actually being him. Maybe they should compare notes, but a part of him almost feels uncomfortable to ask. Look he's still trying to cope with the fact that he's not the only Scott here anymore. He just... doesn't want to continue thinking about other Scott being isolated.]
You're making it sound worse.
Look, you really don't have to live away from everyone.
[ While he can’t exactly say he knows the feeling of having to deal with another version of himself in the flesh prior to all this, he can sort of guess how it’s making his younger self feel and because of that, he’s been trying to be considerate. You know. In his Scott Summers way.
Another swig of his beer, he licks over his lips and stares to the label on the bottle there — gives himself a second or two. ]
I thought I’d give you a bit of space. Let yourself figure some things out without having me around to complicate it any. I’m not hiding away if that’s what you’re worried about.
[Who said that he needed space!! Except he definitely did and it's annoying the other Scott just knew, but guess if anyone would know him, it's... him. And put himself away just to make things easier. Man. Sometimes he wishes that he was just an asshole instead of being considerate so that can be a bitch to him without feeling bad about it.]
Well, I figured everything out so you can come back and be... okay, I was going to say 'celebrated,' but I really know that you aren't the same Scott that the others have been referencing this entire time.
So, welcome to the reject Scott club.
[He doesn't really mean it, not when he thinks about the genuine bonds he's created with the others, but that doesn't mean he won't stop making these sort of comments either.]
Never thought of myself as a reject Scott Summers and don’t think you should either.
[ He gets that it’s weird and a little jarring to cope with sometimes, but. He doesn’t like the thought of himself feeling like a reject even among mutants. Humanity… that’s a whole other thing. ]
Not like I’m going to start thinking those here are rejects just because they’re not my team or a version of them I know.
[ So, you know. Cut it out, kiddo. ]
But I’ll be heading back soon. You been training while you’ve been here?
[...Fine. Fine. Mostly because he really doesn't think of the others as rejects, far from it. Logically they aren't anyway because they're all from the same world and they're the ones from a different reality, but more importantly, they accepted him anyway. He knows.
Even Julian pulled him aside to say that to him. Granted, that was before older!Scott showed up, but he can admit that his mind probably hasn't changed.]
Tried a few times in the past to control my blasts, but I don't have a visor. Everyone's pretty much told me that I need that in order to really use my powers.

I'm assuming that you get it.
