"There was an incident with an old foe of Wesley's. I wasn't really involved so I don't know all the details, but I know that the end result was that Sand woke up, exactly the same as he went in."

He took a sip of his water.

"He took some time off, spent a few years finishing school, devoured the library in the brownstone, and" he rubbed his chin, "I think it was just about the time Wes passed that he started having flare ups. Just... poofing into the floor, turning into a pile of sand. I'm not sure exactly how he straightened himself out, but from what he's mentioned, something happened while he was swimming down in the earth that got him settled with his powers. If anything, they've gotten more extensive."

He leaned back a little and took another sip of water. Then he looked over at Scott.

"Don't want to ask him about any of it?"
