You've never heard

Mutants are humans who are born with an altered gene that gives them special abilities. Like advanced healing, telepathy, phasing through solid objects, generating fire - that kind of stuff. They're just like regular people, but there's a lot of racist jerks out there who can't see that.

So...someone like m-

Oh! I see. I just don't understand why people feel the need to attack others over things like that. It can't be helped - it's not like we have control over what we're born with. If that was the case, I'd look like Cutey Honey. :)

It's because they're scared. Which is ridiculous, because if they ever just talked to one of them, they'd see that there really aren't any differences at all. And besides, good and bad people in every bunch. Some mutants are crazy, but so are a lot of normal people. It's a case by case thing.

...I don't think I'd be anywhere near that cute.

I can understand that: don't blame the actions of one as the actions of all, right?

I really just want to be taller, that's all.

Exactly. But I guess it's just easier for people to think that way.

I hear you on that one.

It's stupid. He's stupid.

Just so I'm not the first one volunteered to go into the attics first. That's how tall I want to be. ♥
