Yeah, as far as I know. [Which. Isn't much, but it's fine!!] It's because there's a mutation in our genes, err, we have something called the 'x-gene' that makes us different. Like one of my friends can teleport and another can read minds because of it.

Hey, it's fine. I mean, people are usually pretty chill with us unless they're colossal dicks. There's even a 'hero' mutant that saved the president on national television, so everything's cool. [To be young and dumb-- and okay, he's slightly aware that there's some messed up stuff happening, but they are just colossal dicks.]
