Hello!

I was wondering, if there was an extra scene in Masterminds focused around Hector and Malik, what would it be like? Picture this: A slice of life type of thing where they finally aren\'t running away from their past. What would they do for fun together? What would they talk about?

Hi, A.J.,

Thanks for posting. Good question.

I think Malik and Hector would slowly begin to become close again, and it might even be a better relationship than it was in Serenity when they were younger. Hector would be more of an equal, and I like to think Malik would be a milder person. Of course, Malik would be seeing a lot of Amber -- I think you'll agree on that one, right? So the Hector/Malik relationship would be there, but I like to think they'd be more as equals instead of Malik always bossing the younger one around. They'd be older and wiser.
