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.]

Everyone's always had it out for mutants. No matter how many times the X-Men save the world. Even when there are barely any of us left.

And then they decided it was everyone with powers.

[Which in some ways is almost... no, not better. But it was always dumb for it to be okay to get powers in a lab accident or from being an alien but not if you're born with them.]

I guess I just can't see my Tony screwing over most of his team like that. I mean, he's an asshole, but he watches out for us when we need him to.

I can see why you'd be wary about him, though.

[bruiserprincess]

I'm wary about a lot of people.

[Is it still paranoia when they're really out to get you?]

[cantcatchme]

I'm sorry.

I know I'm not him, but I'll try to earn your trust.

[The hard part was she'd only just really opened up to him before]

It's... just complicated.
