"Hello and welcome to the six o'clock news, I'm Steven McGuire."

"And I'm Clarice Gonzalez. Hilary Daniels has the night off."

"We start off tonight with some breaking news. Well known model and actress Callia Delaflote was nearly killed when a bomb went off in her summer home in the South of France this morning. She managed to survive the attack because she had decided at the last minute to walk her dog around her estate. The bomb went off only seconds after leaving the house."

"Ms. Delaflote was knocked temporarily unconscious by the impact of the blast. She was taken to a nearby "mutant friendly" hospital were she was later released. She is expected to make a full recovery."

"This isn't the first attack on the 21 year-old supermodel. In fact it is the fourth attack on the woman in the last two weeks. The attacks began roughly two weeks ago in the wake of the model's official announcement that she is indeed a mutant."

"Hello and welcome back to Entertainment Tonight. In fashion news today, Model Callia Delaflote lawyers filed a lawsuit yesterday against three well-known Magazine labels after they threatened to drop her contracts allegedly because she announced two weeks ago that she is a mutant. A spokesman for one of the magazines says that those charges are false and they have nothing against "mutant models."

"It is not yet known what Callia Delaflote's mutant powers are or how long she has had them. However many other actors and models are refusing to work with the woman until they are sure they are in no danger. Others are refusing to work with her altogether."

"Ms Delaflote is said to be flying to the States where she is expected to stay with mutant activist Charles Xavier at his 'school for the gifted.' While some have welcomed the chance to have such a major star in their town, others are infuriated by having yet another mutant there. In light of all the attacks on Ms. Delaflote local officials say they are taking extra security measures to insure that the woman is safe. However, officials are still not ruling out the possibility of another attempt… on her life."
