Mr. al-Razi,
Courtesy of the ever diligent New York media, you’ve doubtless become aware of my recent misadventures in Central Park. There is more to the story than they know.
I encountered a man and his son near a duck pond on the south end of the park, and immediately, my monitor of the surrounding area was rent from my control. I could see everything; I could feel everything. I could sense the fear of those around me, or something like it, and the steel infrastructure of buildings miles away. Forgive me for saying so, but I do not think I would be exaggerating to describe it as divine. Also, incredibly painful. Had I not managed to shut myself down immediately, I do not know what would have happened, but I suspect nothing good.
The man, for his part, became suddenly ill, falling to his knees and vomiting at my feet.
Not a believer in coincidence, I attempted a more limited display. The effects were the same. I was barely able to contain my own ability. He collapsed.
His name, according to the police, is Ryan Hewitt, and I believe he is an unwitting mutant with some sort of amplifying effect upon mutants around him. Between us, studying him might yield some interesting information on the subject of mutant enhancement. The trouble is that he seems to be somewhat anti-mutant. I do not know to what degree, but he did not seem pleased when I informed him of what he was. What his son probably is. He is probably crying in a closet somewhere.
I can provide more specific information in person, if you require it. I do not think we should discuss this over the phone, for obvious reasons.
