Warp watched her, examining her carefully as she coughed out water and struggled with trying to remember whatever it was that she was trying to remember. He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about remembering anything right now. You are safe now. Whatever happened don't worry about it."

His eyes narrowed briefly as he noticed her hand seeming to disapear through a shadow, and dismissed it for now. His first priority was to keep her calm, he had seen what happened when other homosuperiors were sppoked, they could lose control of their powers- end up hurting someone else or themselves. Standing up he walked to the wall and leaned against it, giving the girl space. "You can call me Warp. I picked you up from the beach and healed some of your wounds. You're at my penthouse. Like I said: you're safe now."

She turned to him and said, " Thank you" here eyes shimmered a little while saying that. She noticed her hair, it was...purple a violet more like. "I'm not normal am I?" she almost sounded disappointed as she said it. Vaguely remembering a sense of dread on the day she found out. Her eyes look back up at Warp his kindness, not judgement was something she had been longing for so long. Her eyes welled up, if she was aware of why she was crying these would be tears of joy. "Do you have a tissue I don't know whats come over me...I- Genosha?" she saw the brochure she had with her. "Heh, sounds like a place I should go, if I'm a mutant...". With that it was safe to guess that her general knowledge of things seemed to be okay.

Warp sighed going to the counter and tossing her a box of tissues. "Oye," He said turning to face her, his blue eyes bright. "We don't use the "m" word here. We are homosuperior. Homosapiens call us "mutants" because they are a bunch of cowards afraid of the future."

His tone softened as he continued, "You are as normal as it gets when it comes to being here. Genosha is a paradise for homosuperiors. No worries, no threats. No oppressive governments."

Smiling he half-joked, "No more being a circus act and getting swords stuck through you to feed yourself because of narrow-sighted, biggeted family are too big of cowards to take care of their own child- children. After all the government is always right."

He realized he was getting irritated and took a deep breath before adding, "I wouldn't worry about your physical evolutions- the hair, your ears..." he paused considering how best to word what he was about to say- she was pretty, he thought about making a coment along those lines, but he thought better about it. Considering the amount of girls he had gotten mixed up with since he arrived in Genosha it would be smartest to not start flirting with newcomers. Then he decided to simply say, "You should be proud of the changes. It shows who and what you are."

but you can call me Love or Heartbreaker

Cassie nodded considering what Felicia said. She turned to return to her bed and then changed her mind. "I'm coming in. I'll help you with your fur."

Not waiting for the door to open she tried the door, smiling to find it unlocked. Noticing the exhausted fox on the floor she began to search her cabinents. Pushing past expensive soaps, shampoos, conditioners, creams, and other bottles she pulled out several items and set it on the counter around the sink. Moving she stoppered the tub and started the water. Turning to the fox, she waved at the bottles on the sink. "I'll wash you. I never had a pet of my own- my mother hated- hates- animals, and I'm sure most of my supplies are not approved for animal use, but you're not exactly the run of the mill animal, now are you? Anyhow, I use that stuff when I really need it, usually after a mission or something. Guarenteed to get out the worst gore and dirt and most stubborn tangles."

Cassie smiled, "It'll probably be easier to shift forms when you don't have your pretty fur all matted up. Trust me enough to give you a bath? I promise not to hurt you or get soap in your eyes."

Cassie got up and picked up a bottle of expensive shampoo and conditioner. She began to pour some shampoo and into her palm and began to masage Felicia's fur, washing away dirt and tangles. As she worked Cassie began to talk, "I don't know how much you know, but you're at the Xavier Mansion. It's a school for mutants. The sentinals had destroyed it over a year ago, but Emma Frost and Cyclopes rebuilt. I was one of the first new students they recruited. They found me at LAX, waiting to board a plane. While your abilities no doubt make it easier to hide in the wild, mine make it easier to hide among people. Besides I like fancy things. Being on the run without designer clothes, five star hotels, five star dinning... it just seems wrong."

She smiled, begining to wash the shampoo out of the fox's fur, "Not that I lived in luxury in the begining. I tried to space out what money I had, not use my power. But the government tends to look for mutants in places off the beaten track. It was easier for me to live in plain sight, though the constant running was tiresome. In the end, I'm glad that Emma and Cyclopes found me. I have a home again. I have a cause to fight for. I can use my powers for non selfish needs."

When the fox turned to look at her, Cassie averted her gaze slightly as if she didn't want to look Felicia in the eyes. When Felicia shook out her a flash of irritation showed on her face before dissolving into a smile. The expression change was so quick it was almost not noticeable. She stood and took a towel from the towel rack and returned, wrapping the fox in the Egyptian cotton. As she dried the fox, Cassie said with a slight smile, "If you plan to stay here, it is only fair to warn you about the nature of my abilities."

She stood and headed towards the door, "I'm supposed to avoid using my powers unless necessary. I do or I try my best to. Even the Brotherhood fears my abilities to some degree- or at least dislikes it." She turned smiling, "I suppose it does give me an unfair advantage over people... and animals. The thing is, most people's powers are limited, by distance, their energy, a lot of factors. Luckily, my power has it's limits too, besides my conscience. My powers are based on eye contact. Glasses limit my powers some, but not entirely."

She shrugged, "But don't worry about it. I mean no harm to you, honestly. If I did- you would have been sunk when we met in the kitchen." Turning she headed out of the bathroom and said as she left, "I'll give you some privacy to change. We can talk when you come out. Feel free to ask me anything. You're a guest, I'm supposed to make you feel welcome."

When the lights turned off, Cassie frowned shutting the history text book she was reading, figuring she should read ahead when she had the chance. She had a few more courses yet to finish before she could get her high school diploma, but with the hours she put training in the danger room and running missions, things kept her busy. She considered whether it was an attack, until she heard the girl's voice, and dismissed the possibilities. Not yet turning, Cassie said in a firm voice, "Turn on the lights. Stop screwing around."

After she spoke, Cassie turned to see the silhouette of a girl with fox ears and a tail. She smiled slightly, she had seen more obvious physical mutations before. It made her feel lucky, that she looked human, at least. She wouldn't say blend in- no that wasn't her style- but at least look human. Crossing her arms, Cassie waited, her green eyes narrowed. She would give her ten seconds to turn on the light. It was her room, strangers-even guests- shouldn't mess with her things without permission.

Catherine caught the box, but felt a little sore on her side. She was kind of shocked that she did though, she' thought she'd be too tired to catch it. Rubbing her side with one hand she took a tissue with her other hand getting the tears out.

Catherine then listened to Warp as he mentioned homosuperior she made a face and thought, Homosuperior!?!? That sounds like a mutant with an ego problem. *sighs* But if that's what they label me here... I guess it's a step up from freak or whatever else... afraid of the future? What does he mean by that?

As he indicated that she is as normal as it gets she thought, I guess when everyone's a mutant around here that does make it the norm. Kind of funny being normal for once would be abnormal here.

She continued to listen as he went on about the circus act, biggeted family and the government. Something about that really spoke to her, she can't remember but she knew it wasn't easy being her. She was beginning to be uncertain if she wanted to remember who she was. Her green eyes noticed he seemed a bit irritated at the matter, perhaps something a little to close to home? she thought.

As he went on about her physical evolutions, her hair... her...ears? She felt her ears and they seem to be pointy toward the end. They were not ... normal. Or... maybe they were for here. She looked at him as he paused as he took a moment to answer it seemed like he was carefully thinking what he was going to say. Proud of the changes? Was he trying to give me a compliment?

"Right... I guess...what is this talk you mentioned about people being afraid of the future. What does that mean?" It was a lot to take in, she continued to rub her side easing the pain a little.

a.k.a. Warp

Warp frowned at her question as he entered the kitchen and shut the fridge door before entering the living room again. When Magneto first presented his future plans to Warp- a world ruled by homosuperiors- it made him uneasy. Even when he first joined the Brotherhood after finding out about his sister, the plan had made him uneasy. But, as months drew on he slowly saw the wisdom in it. The world was dog eat dog. Homosapiens and homosuperiors wouldn't- couldn't- live as one big happy family. And if someone had to win the war the homosapiens started it only made sense for it to be homosuperiors. His power- as long as it was within his range- was unstoppable, nothing seemed to be out of the realm of his possibility. Why should he just roll over and let himself be kicked?

"Imagine Genosha on a larger scale," Warp suggested finally. "Not that the plan is to wipe out homosapiens... just make a place where people didn't have to hide who they are. You didn't have to run away or be locked up because of who you were- how you were born- because of your genetics. The problem is that to achieve something like that you have to create change. Humans in general don't like change. Sometimes you have to force what is good on someone- like medicating a small child."

He smiled, shrugging. "No reason to talk politics at the moment; however. You still look like your hurt some. Do you need me to heal anything else? I can't relieve pain or tiredness but I can heal any physical injury."
