Yet more non-canon fic; Post X-Men: Last Stand

Canon: X-Men Last Stand (Post-canon)
Characters: Henry "Hank" McCoy/Beast, Raven Darkholme/Mystique
Rating: It's clean.
Summery: After the final battle Hank find a depowered Mystique.

Hank isn't precisely sure when he started saying "Oh my stars and garters" for those very rare occasions he found himself at a lose for words. It may have been the first time he saw an atomic explosion in person, the first time he saw Magneto lift a submarine from the ocean or the first time he flew at supersonic speeds in the Blackbird. Regardless, he had never said it with such sadness as when he said it now after finding Mystique in the jail cell powerless.

"I'll fix this. I'll make you normal," he promised and the irony of his pledge was not lost on him.

(Definitely need to flesh this one out, especially that last line. While it makes sense for the allusion to X-Men: First Class, it doesn't fit a more mature and experienced Hank.)
