I mean-- ( a sheepish smile, hands raising up almost defensively. ) It probably won't be like that? But I know, back home. . a lot of mutants come into their power when things happen and they have to figure out how to control it after. And this isn't the same. This isn't something we're born with, but it kind of shows itself in close to the same way, so it's probably better to be safe than sorry?

( don't stress, abel. everything's fine. he'd say something like mine was an extreme case but--no. no it wasn't. he's heard of entire cities going under. billy just electrocuted a bully. )
