First message
You’re just trying to get through your drink when the TV cuts in.
“Mutant alert. Armed and dangerous. Female, early twenties, suspected in an attempt on two pioneer anti-mutant officials: senator Robert Kelly and scientist Bolivar Trask”
You just shake your head.
You’ve seen the world twist truth before, knowing mutants are just people.
An hour later, you’re heading to your car, keys tight in your hand.
You almost miss her—
dark figure, crouched low in the snow.
Covered in blood.
Not hers.
