Anyone can tell you how messed up their life is. The ups and downs, why they should be pittied. Peter was not one to do so. His mom would have given him hell for it if he had. Besides, he couldn't really find much to complain about. He got to travel around the world, well... To Vietnam. Granted, while he had to be careful, he loved the warm climate as opposed to New York's winters.

"Peter, are you dressed and ready?"

"Yes mom."

Peter stepped out of the bathroom and into their hotel room dressed in a basic tee shirt and long pants, as well as a pair of sturdy boots. His mom gave him a once over, her dark brown eyes allowing him to pass her test.

"Now don't you look handsome," she commented bring a light blush to Peter's face.

"Mom!" He squeaked. The woman gave a small smile and ruffled his hair.

"Don't be like that. You look fine."

"Thanks mom."

"Now go out and make some alibis."

"Mom, I can help. I want to find Leong and Nga as well."

"Peter, you need to stay safe."

"And being an American born child wandering around in Vietnam alone is safer than being with his mother trying to find his aunt and uncle."

"My uncle is a crime lord Peter. And you know he would use you."

"Like he would you."

"I know how to use my powers Peter. A few guards will not stop me. But I fear they will harm you."

"Fine. But if you need anything-"

"We're not getting to that point Peter. Now, go enjoy yourself."

Peter pouted but relented.

"I'll see you later mom."

Peter was about to walk out the door when he felt his upper arm being grasped.

"Try to avoid being involved in street fights Peter."

"Wah- buh- mom!"

"I know you see bad things happening and I applaud you for stepping in. Just try not break anyone's arms this time."

"That was an accident. "

"So was me absorbing my twin."

"Oh my god mom! That was so not the same thing. Your brother was trying take control of you and I was stopping a mugging."

"Escalation of crime to punishment Peter."

"Alright fine. I'll do my best mom."

"Good boy."

Peter walked out of the room and felt a niggling in his head. Suggestions of trying to keep the peace and to actively attempt to not send anyone to the hospital. He groaned and loudly called out, "Mom!"

A new suggestion and feeling felt in his head not to yell in the hotel.

Peter rolled his eyes, but chuckled as he walked out of the hotel to create alibis as his mother searched for her brother and sister and attempted to get her Uncle out of power.

So, the mutant Karma everyone. A Vietnamese mutant named Xi'an Coy Manh, known for psychic possession. She also has telepathy. She had left Vietnam and had been seperated from her younger siblings and had to face her twin brother, a villain. Very fun to look into. Partially because of the name of the chapter.

Part of what makes this fun, is that Xi'an speaks English, French, and Vietnamese, and imagining Peter speaking these languages just brought cute images to mind. Spiderman cursing in either French or Vietnamese when he is mad, actually having to say, "Pardon my French," and having a real reason to say it.
