The next time...

I come across a telekinetic kid in the middle of a riot situation who's using her powers to make said situation worse, I'm going to take the car she's flinging around away from her and spank her with it.

Also, what the hell is it with riots and following me around? Am I a riot magnet? Do I attract them? If so, I need to start staying away whenever a fellow mutant is scheduled to make one of the most important political speeches of his career. Because apparently, riots happen and the speech gets cancelled, and a whole horde of loathsome little punks with the collective IQ of a particularly dull earthworm get to walk away high-fiving and feeling that all is right in their warped little world. May they all drown in the East River, bigots and would be gene-Nazis alike. You have no idea how badly I was tempted to drown them in the East River myself.

They won. Goddamn them all to hell, they won. Even if Barath makes the speech first thing tomorrow morning, they still managed to silence him today.
