That presumes that he finds out Rachel's origin (which may be hard to keep
secret once she takes on the Phoenix identity. On the other hand, if it's
explained that she's from an alternate Earth...

In that future, they were lovers, but not (as far as I know) married.
Rachel has not met the present-day Franklin yet. Some months ago, I posted
a comment about how she might well freak out when she does.

I don't think their age difference was that great, but remember:

	(1) Those Future History issues were set in 2013, which would mean
	that Franklin would then be in his early 30's (assuming that Marvel
	time from this point on corresponds with real time, which it, of
	course, won't. Rachel --- the one in the FH issues and is now in
	the present, is likely in her late 20's, which would actually make
	her older then the current Scott!

	(2) Rachel made the trip from the future into the present *after*
	the events in issues #141-142.
