"As a part of a government experiment and for the best interests of all of the inhabitants of the town of Bellevue, mutants have been BANNED. Mandatory mutation testing will be held on the twenty-first of June, and all known mutants are advised to leave the town."
Government announcement, June 20th
I rolled my eyes. "Honestly. Why did they have to ban them just because they're mutants? Ah well, at least I'm not one." I was standing in the mutant testing line with my friend Gina in front of me. "Next!" called the fat man in a labcoat, and Gina went forward.
I waited for about ten minutes, and then Gina came charging out. She grabbed my shirt without a word and dragged me along. She managed to pant out, "Mutant... Me... RUN!" I ran forward with her, making for the edge of Bellevue. My eyes widened as I heard gunshots. I screamed as a bullet grazed my ankle. We put on an extra burst of speed, making for the sign that said, "Welcome to Seattle!"
"SAFE!" yelled Gina, sliding past the sign like a baseball player. I just ran and collapsed, panting. I leaned against the side, holding my now-bleeding-like-heck ankle. Gina glanced over. "Ooh, nasty." She put her hand on my ankle. "So, since we're already outlaws, do you want to steal a car or something?" She took her hand off. My wound was healed! I looked at her. "But I can't drive..." I said.
"No problem! I can drive!"
"..."
"What?"
"I think you better tell me exactly what your mutant ability is. And don't leave anything out."
Gina nodded, and began to explain. "I can copy other mutants' powers and use them interchangeably. They are slightly altered to suit my needs, such as exchanging a side ability for added power." She grinned and then added, "I learned how to drive from a mind reader."
"Well, if we steal a car... I want a hybrid!"
"No problemo! If you want to be an environmentally conscious outlaw, be my guest!"
"..."
"What?"
