Apocalypse Avenue Home for Wayward Fandom Alumni (#33 Apocalypse Ave), Weds Evening.

[icecoldfrost]

Sometimes a girl just needed a little down time, and so tonight Emma was reading the latest paper on human evolution and mutation by one Dr. Moira MacTaggart, which had recently - for her time - been published.

It was...well, she was occasionally yelling back at it or shaking the journal.

"Stop! Go back! Dammit, I want more on the triggers and symptoms of adolescent manifestation!"

In other words, another evening at the Nolan & Frost Home for Wayward Fandomites.

[OOC: Looking for some boys, but totally open for calls, texts, visitors.]

"Or maybe she gets a teacher," Ronan pointed out. "Awareness goes both ways."

He's a wizard, Emma. He's practically required to be an optimist.

"There's a movement to ban us from school," Emma said, her cheer practically dripping with scorn. "Not from schools with 'normal children,' but going to school at all. There's a protest movement at E.S.U. to have all incoming students tested for the X gene of mutation, and to only admit humans."

"Freaks don't deserve educations, not if you ask my professors in the human development department."

"... But."

Give him a moment, Emma. You just broke Ronan's brain. "But you're people."

[icecoldfrost]

"No, darling, we aren't even human," she replied gently, and her smile was quite possibly heartbreaking. "We're demon-spawn, to the devout. Children of the devil instead of the atom. They think we're the new Plague, wiping out civilization, and they're planning to exterminate us."

Ronan stared.

"... Need a world to escape to?" he asked. "Trust me, I can find somewhere if you need it."

[icecoldfrost]

Emma just stared at him uncomprehendingly. "It's mine," she said, slowly, as if to a simple child. "Would you run and hide?"

Ronan shook his head. "I didn't think you'd take me up on it," he admitted. "But the offer stands, if you ever need it."
