Vance went quiet for a few moments, concentrating on the fighting. And probably trying to digest what Rich had just been telling him. Because, really, it was a LOT to take in.
Especially since, yeah. Rich was dead.
But, fighting next to somebody who should have been dead wasn't that unusual in their world. Vance did it on a regular basis, after all. The X-Men weren't the only ones good at coming back from beyond the grave.
Still, he manages a grin. A little forced, maybe, but there. "Remind me to send the X-Men some flowers when I get home."
Rich was one of his oldest friends, after all. Having him back was a good thing, even if only for a short time.
The rest of it sinks in and he nods. "It does feel like a test, doesn't it? Just what we need."
