I finally see what you all were talking about with the whole waking up on the ship thing.

[Pietro looks tense, but he's dressed, at least. However, the uniform is unfamiliar. He's clearly still inside the ship.]

But can someone tell me why my powers aren't working?!

[His voice climbs a few octaves closer to panic at the end.]

Oh. Okay. [All right, after all of that...he was just going to accept it.]

I was born with powers. [Was he trying to make himself seem cooler in front of a superhero? Well, obviously, who wouldn't? It was true, though.] Well, sort of, they didn't come out until I was a teenager, but...

[But as he understood it, that's now mutants worked, too.]

My world doesn't exactly have mutants, though.

[cantcatchme]

Yeah, Wanda and I were early bloomers, but we still didn't have powers until we were, like, eight or something. I think physical mutations are supposed to show up earlier, though.

So... what are you, then?

[He pauses a beat.]

If that's not... an incredibly rude thing to ask, anyway.

[roddy_reinigen]

I don't mind. I'm a reinigen. [He pauses, then decides more explanation is needed.] So I have, like...rat powers.

[cantcatchme]

[Yes, more explanation was definitely needed, since Pietro just gives him a blank look at first.]

Rat powers, huh? I guess I've heard stranger.

[roddy_reinigen]

[He noted the blank look, and decided to explain.]

Basically I control rats with music. And turn into a rat-like creature.

[cantcatchme]

I've still heard - and seen - stranger. You'd fit in just fine, back home.
