Cara Black

Despite Aidan’s unexpected arrival the tension barely shifted in the air and a divide was almost becoming physical in the rooms occupants. It was times like this that Cara regretted her agreement with Xavier, at least the remnants of the Brotherhood had sense. Although Cara had had little interaction with Aidan he was a well-known loose cannon fighting for whichever side took his fancy at any particular moment.

His arrogance annoyed her but Cara knew better than to rub such a powerful mutant up the wrong way, he could easily stop anyone in the mansion including Xavier and Magneto with just a few words. It was better to stay quiet and hope that he would be on the mutants side in what was to come.

It didn’t take long before someone else jumped in on the argument and Cara recognised her as being one of the newcomers to the mansion Jennifer, a screamer or so Cara had heard.

“If I recall, Black people and Homosexuals went through this kind of prejudice yet very few of them turned to violence.” She finally spoke up “Just remember, black people were respect because the people that were against them used violence yet they remained peaceful.” She then looked to Cain. “Exactly, embrace who you are and what you are, but don’t abuse it. Why do you think so many people hate cocky, over-confident bastards?” Jennifer paused to think her point through. “Hideki, I’ve heard your music before and it is something to be proud of, but you don’t love yourself or think you’re better than anyone because of it, do you?”

Cara could only laugh in response. “Are you mad?! The fact that humans can’t even get over problems within their own damn race proves my point! Back home in Russia I could be beaten just for being bisexual let alone being a mutant! Are you saying we should trust the humans who can’t even all accept different races and sexualities without a few lynching’s not to chain us all up and throw us in prisons! I’ve already been tortured once in my life and I will not let them do it to me again!”


Mutt Ant

Mutt shifted uneasily, it wasn’t the first time he’d been around a debate such as this or even the thousandth but to argue with a mutant known to have killed humans in the past was probably not a good idea. He knew when to pick a fight and when to stay quiet.

Still, it gave him chance to make a mental note on different people’s viewpoints odds were if push came to shove Mutt would probably end up helping Xavier’s side anyway and it would be good to work out who would fight for whom.

Mutt was so distracted with his thoughts that he almost missed Jonathan’s question. "Are you alright?"
“Sorry? Oh! Right sorry, I’m Mutt!” He answered happily accepting the Texan’s gloved hand. “No no, not uncomfortable, just a little out of depth.” He leant in towards Jonathan to speak quietly. “Not a good place for a human when such a conversation is going on.” He winked before letting go. “I’m a friend of Xaviers and a friend of all mutants.” He gestured down towards his overly decorated jacket. “I am an activist for mutant rights, and leader of…” He glanced towards Cara who was now back in rant mode. “Well of pro mutant parties.”
