i talked to a firefighter. you know, after the fire the nurse we wanted to find was dead. he said it was suspicious and that they're opening an investigation.
[ so inspiring. also, she swore an oath to protect people, to be the shield. but that's neither here nor there. ]
i want to test it, but i don't want to test it does that make sense?
[ the scientist in katelin wants to run tests, but she also doesn't want to make people tell her more than they want to tell her, or be manipulated.
that's because katelin isn't bobbi. bobbi's been doing some tests in bars, in dark alleys, with strangers she'll never see again who won't be hurt by her actions. ]
[ she isn't going to let him test it on her if she can help it. maybe it won't make her tell him anything she doesn't want to tell him, but with her cover currently still intact, it's too big of a risk. ]

i thought maybe we should find out more

I can try.
I think it makes people more honest, helps them open up. I don't know if it'll force them to answer anything they don't want to answer.
[ He hasn't really tested it on purpose, which is starting to feel like an oversight. ]

i can make people more willing to talk, too, i think

also man. He gets powers and he's coached a lot of young mutants through them, but emotional and mental ones are not his forte. ]
You think? Do you need help figuring it out?

[ Same boat, but also really and not even on strangers. Rude. ]
If you need to practice, we can work something out. Maybe stick to approved subjects.
[ Not that he's great at secrets, anyway. Not personal ones. ]

Nothing like that where you're from?

Yeah? What's the hot take on those few people?

a group of them is working together to fight battles ordinary people aren't equipped to handle
they're heroes
no subject
[ Sounds kind of corny, yes, but also: the dream. ]
We had a group like that, but I don't think it went the way they were hoping.
no subject
well, some people don't like it, but most of the world think they're heroes
no subject
My world probably would've locked them up.
no subject
the world needs them

but they weren't
