Brainy had a point. "It's okay," he assured, "just sounds kind of weird to me because there aren't any aliens where I come from. Not many that I know of, anyway." He'd have to ask Johnny or Sue when they let him go back. If anyone had encountered aliens, it would be the Fantastic Four. And there were a couple of times where the news was pretty fuzzy on the details concerning them, so yeah. The possibility was there.

That was a look he recognized. Peter's heart sank a little, because really? A thousand years into the future and things still hadn't changed? Or was his story just written that way for the tension? Either way, he could relate all too well to the feeling. Bad enough when it was just humans and mutants, but aliens too?

He shrugged at the other boy, replying, "Fear of the unknown, I guess. But not everyone's like that, so it's not always...you know. Grab your torch and pitchforks."
