[Laura's been trying to adjust. Part of her wonders if coming here wasn't a grave mistake — she'd come thinking there are more like her, people who would accept her more willingly, and in a way, that's true. However... There are a few... annoyances. Grievances. Her rather overworked case worker Linda has been making sure she goes to school. Today isn't the best day for school, though. She's quiet and 'weird' and the other children usually aren't fond of her and her quiet but present danger.
And for Laura, well. She doesn't do well with anyone 'teaching' her. She's had too much of 'teaching' the last eleven years of her... eleven years.
She may or may not have punched another kid in the eye.
She may or may not have ditched school.
And now she sits on the top of a rather tall and dangerous brick-ish wall in the city, her feet hanging precariously off the edge. Close by, the shadow of a tram wooshes by, and somewhere out there, Linda the Case Worker is having a heart attack. Laura, however, seems more puzzled and annoyed than anything. She sits with a potentially stolen bag of mini-donuts, her favorite glasses pressed up on her forehead and her lovely albeit mildly damaged unicorn shirt clear and vibrant.]
Why do children have to go to classes?
I can learn outside of school.
[There are mean children that exist. She's never ran into children who are so exclusionary; after all, mutants had to stick together.
And teachers aren't bad, but something about the set-up bothers her, in ways she's not sure how to explain.
Maybe it's harder to blend in than you'd think. Not that she had gone into this with any high hopes.]

Mutants?

[She doesn't look too enthused by the reaction, though.
...It's sounding a lot to her like they're going to fade out.]

There haven't been any other hominids on Earth on thousands of years. But you have to remember that not everyone here shares the same history. Something that happened on your Earth may have not happened on mine and my present may not be your future.

I see. Different universes.
... There aren't many left, in ours.

[And now, finally, in a roundabout way, they may be getting into why Laura is reluctant to go to school.]
Do you know any of them?

There are some others my age... I don't know if we're the only children mutants left.
I hope not.
