Reflection

This takes place in X's room,

Poor Rock. He may not have been slaughtered by Zero or trapped in a time limbo but he has to face something even worseand embarassing: Getting grounded by his lil bro just for blowing up a mirror .

Well, did you really think I forgot about that Mega-Proto-Quick Man fusion with the pogostick of doom? Well I know Quint is an unusualy disliked character in the series and for some, the reason of Rock's disappearance but I'm thinking about what exactly do with him in this AU. I got two posible options here:

Option #1: After Wily's plans were foiled, Quint's future was negated and he either ceased to exist or his convertion got pushed back several years more, surpassing the X era. His true fate is yet to be revealed.

Option #2: Quint did indeed happen but was sent by Wily back to his time for considering him useless (Given his bland boss fight) replacing him with a copy. While he returns to his Rock self, he's strictly forbidden to fight evil anymore for his safety.

In both cases, Rock still remembers battling Quint/his time as him. He fears he may return since he feels he can no longer be a hero as he is no longer a "super fighting robot" only using his buster for industrial purposes. But following this comic, Zero confiscates it (Not for long )
