[From what's visible behind him, Jesse's seated at the nurse's desk of the Xavier School infirmary. That's not really relevant to anything, just that he's at work and he's bored and out of anything useful to occupy his time. He's currently wrapping a gauze bandage around an empty soda can. An art piece, maybe. Or just keeping his hands busy.]

What's up? Anything exciting going on?

[He's talking to the comm device, but his eyes are on his "work".]

We got new guys coming in, right? How 'bout you? Freaking out about this superhero thing? It's pretty wild...

[That might be touching on sardonic. He knows it's no fun to be new here.]

You guys wanna talk or anything, I got nothing better to do.

[As thrilling as it is to keep winding this bandage around a soda can.]

Hero's a big word. I just do what I'm made for.

[She thinks this over for a moment, then grins a little.] Reckon I like that idea better than bein' called a hero, too. [Though, she may be suffering more from false modesty than whatever keeps him from using such a word, but she's never done what heroics she's done in the past just for the honor of being called a hero]

It's a little less heavy, right?
