... Oh, God, uh, let's see.

Alright. Mutants equal X-Gene. That's what we all have that makes us different from humans. X-Men is basically our superhero group of mutants.

Ah, yeah, I can't not say it. Welcome to the X-Men, hope you survive the experience. Beautiful motto, hm?

[ why does every team have a dumb motto. ]

Sure. Magical.

Isn't it? I myself didn't get to it, I did not survive the experience. My sisters did. I'm a whole different team, go figure.

I'd ask how many teams but I get the feeling I'm going to hate the answer.

Several. Mutants are not all the powered people we have.

I'm NYX.

(Which he might recognize from her building, and her work in Etraya and all that.)

Everyone loves a team.

Yes, you strike me as a great team player, full of patience, just a peach.

Can't imagine what gave that away.

(Pffft. She's going to give him shit, but it's affectionate, she promises.)

You're self-aware enough, I'm sure you can answer for yourself.

It's all teamwork and feelings.

You'd think they'd get exhausted.

Why do you think I'm difficult? Imagine if you felt everyone's feelings and heard their thoughts all the time, there's no off button.

Telepathy makes you twelve times more exhausted of people than anything else.

[ hm. ]

You can't . . . turn it off?

The same way you can't turn off any of your senses. You can just, you know, redirect. I am not listening to what you're thinking, it's my background noise that I am ignoring, basically.

[ that makes sense. all his powers were physical and tightly controlled. ]

Got it. Like my super hearing.

I guess, but also, add empathy to it. I can also feel everything. I could smell what you do, feel your feelings, see through your eyes, feel your heartbeat, and all that great stuff. Your brain does and processes it, I can tap and do it.
