☄ second vision ⇁ video

[Amelia is scowling. This is not an unusual occurrence]

So, let me get this straight. Those of you here who have powers, people just let you…wander around with ordinary citizens? And live with them? You’re not-

[Whatever she was about to say is lost as the phone clatters from suddenly numb hands. There’s a pause, footsteps, and then the distant

[He is so very, very unamused by this. And yes, a little annoyed, because even here, in this new strange place, they can't get away from it. Only this time it's targeted at everyone with powers, not just one group.]

I would think of a better way to word your questions, otherwise you'll have a lot more annoyed people on your hands than you already do. Why shouldn't we be allowed to do a simple thing like live where we want, walk amongst people we want?

[But he pauses.]

I can't say I know how to interpret dreams of visions, but I can take a guess and say that what you saw can't be good.

[She's just as annoyed, and starting to get a little upset. She's only ever come across one person who though that supers shouldn't be separated from normal citizens]

Well maybe I would have been able to explain a little further if I hadn't been punched in the face with a freaking vision right in the middle of what I wanted to ask! You're all acting like I've suggested we go on a murder spree or something! [The upset is starting to outweigh the annoyed now, and she crosses her arms over her chest, looking away from the camera] I've never seen anything like this before. And no one seems to care - no one's worried about the civilians. I just wanted to know what was going on.

Congratulations! Is your power stating the obvious, by any chance?

[He takes a breath to calm himself. There is absolutely no point in getting would up over this, even if there's a limit to how much a person can take.]

First of all, we're all civilians here. Everyone. Secondly, you have to understand, that most people who replied to you, they, along with myself, come from a world where people with super powers, mostly what are called mutants, are hated for being different. A lot of people do want to go on a murder spree and get rid of us.

No, my power is a little more fun than that.

[She manages to calm herself down a little, enough that she actually listens to what he's saying]

Maybe the word means something different to you. For me, a civilian is someone without powers. I'm not a civilian, and I would never want to be. And I don't have to understand anything. Was I miraculously mean to know that? [She frowns, taking in what it is that he's saying] But...why? Supers are useful. We can do things that civ - that ordinary people can't, sure, but there are more cases where that's helpful. That's like saying 'oh I hate electricity, I'm going to make sure that no one ever uses it instead of finding ways to make it safer for everyone'.

[She eyes him] What is it?

[wunderbarbamf]

I never said that. I'm helping you to know why you're getting such a reaction and how people could be getting angry at you.

[He shakes his head and sighs.]

Mutants, Homo sapiens superior. Gentically unclean in the eyes of most of the world and some are more extreme than others. A lot of people with powers are fine in the eyes of the public, it's mutants that aren't.

I can get from A to B quickly.

[ooc: Sorry if this is sounding bad, I've got distractions lol.]

[foredoing]

I don't need-- [She snaps on instinct, and then cuts herself off. Takes a few deep breaths, crosses her arms tighter across her chest before finally relaxing, letting them drop] Okay. Okay, I get that. I just - I wasn't expecting this response. What works in my world is clearly not going to work when civilians want to kill supers.

[She's quiet for a moment] Your civilians sound like idiots. Which - probably doesn't help, I know. I'm sorry, that that's the sort of world you have to live in. It's not fair - it's wrong.

So, teleportation? Or superspeed?

[No, it's wonderful ♥]

[wunderbarbamf]

Some of them are, even after explanation they either don't care, or...something else. We fight in the hopes that there might be a chance we can all live together.

Teleportation. Sorry I can't be any help in clearing up what your vision might have been.
