[ With no introduction... ]

back home, one of the main things I used to do was train people to control their abilities - i've spent quite a number of years teaching myself control through various techniques, as it's pretty essential for me to keep things in check.

in a bid to feel useful to the community, interest check:

anyone want training sessions? whether you have abilities you're struggling with, or are just looking to get some more control over yourself, I can help.

[Or at least, try to. ]

oh, i am indestructible. And also have enhanced strength and senses. what about you?

[foxtrots]

really?

i'm quick, and i can hear and smell things that humans can't. i can change my appearance too, but i don't like to do that anymore.

[tanker]

yeah. bulletproof kind of thing. skin can't be pierced. I'm also quite strong, and I also have enhanced senses, but I don't know how they compare to yours.

What's the issue with changing your appearance?

[foxtrots]

so people tried to hurt you but you just didn't get hurt. it's good you're the way you are.

it's a part of the whole trying to be someone different now. only i'm trying to be...the same.

ah, that doesn't make sense. it just makes me feel more normal.

[tanker]

it's good for me, sure, but too many of my friends have been hurt. It's just technically dumb luck that i've got these abilities, and not someone else that is now... not around anymore.

[ So many people. ]

no, I understand what you mean. And I think it's good. It's just a part of trying to be the best you can be.

[foxtrots]

i don't like that you had to find out, because what if you hadn't been? i'm sorry about your friends though.

[tanker]

yeah, I'm sorry too. They... they believed in what we're doing, though, and that mattered to them.
