>(1/2)

You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

You wake up in the mouth of an alley jutting off Khepri Avenue. Everything feels loose and strange, and, for a moment, you panic slightly, the lack of sensation in your fingertips making you (quite justifiably) paranoid about their whereabouts. A car drifts past, one of its headlights damaged beyond workability, and the turning of its wheels across the tarmac sounds to you like the sigh of the tide.

Heaving yourself to your feet, you stop, taking a moment to think. Spots of searing indigo-blue strain on the edges of your vision.

Moon Knight. Of all the crazy capes, it had to be Moon Knight.

Most people would consider being drugged and dumped in an alley a grave injustice, but in this case, you’d say you’re just happy to find you still have a face, four limbs, and all your internal plumbing. Still, maybe the Agency should be more careful when dealing with anonymous mystery clients. They could turn out to be all kinds of wackos, like the Owl or Doctor Octopus.

Or Moon Knight.

You check your watch, and feel your eyes bulge slightly in their sockets.

>Present Time: 22:35 PM
>>
(2/2)

You must’ve been in that car for hours. Or, hell, maybe he took you somewhere else before circling back here.

Swearing groggily, you check your wallet, then your pants, and find a fresh roll of pristine dollar bills. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred… eight hundred? That’s a little more than you were promised, if you recall correctly. You hope he hasn’t taken that out of his overall payment, and it’s the Moon Knight equivalent of a tip or something.

You make to move out of the alley and feel an unfamiliar shape against your leg. Fearing the worst, you reach into your pocket, and find that your phone has been… well, it’s either been replaced, or Moon Knight has magical fairy dust that transforms cheap ass shit into cutting-edge expensotech. It’s completely white, save for the screen, and looks almost thin enough to cut apples with. The background is a solid white sphere against a starry night.

You’re not sure that it’s even an actual phone. Like, you don’t think this is something you can buy.

Checking through it, you find that all your contacts have been moved over from your old piece of shit, and there’s a whole bunch of documents and apps that you have no idea how to use.

Christ.

You’re Moon Boy now, aren’t you?

You are not going to be Moon Boy.

But shit, we ain't using that phone for anything. Its going to be sat in our pocket until a job offer comes up. Everything normal is going to be on another disposable phone, which ain't going to be bugged to buggery and back. When we get a new phone anyway.

We're going to have to update the business card.
>>
>>37906232
Why would he pick off our allies? Most of our allies are the good guys or the best of the bad guys, I mean the two actual ""gangs"" we are allied with consist of a group of kleptos and a group of conventional drug addicts who for the most part just extort petty cash to continue there drug usage, and are RELATIVELY harmless in comparison to everyone else. As much as I'd like to say so, we aren't that high on the food chain, hell, all the stuff we made front page on was usually us third partying or fighting a party that is a far greater threat.

Also, if its a tracking device (if it has GPRS, it is for sure), leave it hidden/for safe keeping in agency. We don't want him to know where we live.

At the very least, you’re Lunar Lad.

Or Lunar Lizard.

…How has your life gotten to the point where ‘lizard’ is an acceptable part of your potential superhero moniker?

You don’t know the answer to that question, but you have other questions that maybe the Blonde Phantom Detective Agency can figure out – like, for example, “why did I just meet Moon Knight?” and “why didn’t anyone figure out that the guy calling himself Mr. Moon was possibly a moon themed supersomebody?” and “when do I get a raise?” You figure these things should be easy as pie, seeing as they’re detectives an’ all.

Your anger cools somewhat as you make your way across the nighttime city. You pass the time by fiddling around with the features of your (Moon Knight’s?) new phone. It has lots and lots of cool stuff on it, like GPS and other shit, and, apparently, an internet service. You don’t recognize the provider at all – you’re betting the provider isn’t a real company and has two customers, you and ‘Mr. Kamar’. Still, having Google is pretty sweet. Proprietor

There’s also a map function with a whole fuckton of points marked by solid white circles. You touch over one of them, and an infobox pops up.

>PROPRIETOR: LELAND OWLSLEY
>FUNCTION: SAFEHOUSE
>FLOORS: TWO
>EXITS: THREE
>WINDOWS: SIX (THREE FIRST FLOOR, THREE SECOND FLOOR)

Holy shit.

When you reach the Agency, it takes a good while for anyone to open the door, and when they do they’re wiping sleep from their eyes. It’s the gothed up Asian chick, Nico, wearing a thin blanket over her shoulders and looking in dire need of a coffee. She gives you a long, uncertain stare.

“Um…” Her voice is a tired croak. “…are you, like, dropping off something?”

“…Not exactly. Is the Phantom in?”

She shakes her head drowsily.

“Nah, she went home, like, two hours ago.”

Dammit.

I find this unlikely. Moon knight might be crazy, but he thinks of himself as a good guy. He's not going to go after innocent people.

The only people we know that Moon Knight might go after would be Laura and maybe the Hellions. (But, petty theft is probably beneath him.) On the bright side he has a soft spot for bad people that are trying to be good people. We could probably talk him into sparing Laura.

Listen, I get the paranoia over the phone, but at the same time it's fucking Moon Knight. Dude probably knows where we live, where we sleep, where we shop, knows the extent of our powers, etc. Having the phone just makes it slightly easier for him to track us, which is not necessarily a bad thing given the shit we end up dealing with.

We need to have Peter check out our phone soonish, make sure we're not being tracked, and also just have him tell us how to use the damn thing.

Not that I particularly mind playing Lunar Lizard every once in a while, Moon Knight actually seems pretty chill, but I'm not gonna be COMPLETELY used, might as well make the token effort.

1)He is crazy vigilante.
2)Most mutants have ability to harm someone, and they have used it at some point. We don't know the judgment process in his head. Our allies are "disposable scumbags" at best.

he DOES know these things, he told us them blatently, they are 90% of the reason he drugged us. He didn't want us to be able to use our powers on him in any capacity, especially since we have a known dislike of the ""capes"" as we call them, seeing as we bash them to everyone and have repeatedly used DOCTOR DOOM as an ironic gesture of how we feel about these people. That they are a group of pretentious douchebags who act superior because their mommy or pappy had some fucked up gene set that they passed on or because they got exposed to some form of mutagen.

You glance down at your watch.

>Present Time: 22:55 PM

Yeah… you guess everyone’s pretty much either asleep or relaxing right about now. Or, in Remy's case, probably doing something illegal with a deck of cards. So why’s Nico still here?

“Alright, then... mind delivering a message for me?” She nods in response. “Cool. Basically, Mr. Kamar is Moon Knight and he drugged me and stuff. That’s the message.”

You expect some kind of surprise, maybe a “whoa!?” or a “what!?” or something, but it doesn’t happen. Nico just stares at you in dim, barely-awake confusion. You sigh.

“You’re not from New York, are you?” You ask.

She shakes her head.

“And you’re probably not a cape fan, either.”

“…Yeah, not really.”

You’re already turning out to be a world class detective, you are. You decide to change the subject.

“Well, anyway, why’re you even here?” You nod by her toward the old, peeling staircase leading up into the rest of the building. “It’s a bit late, isn’t it?”

She bites her lip, looking mildly ashamed.

“I… I just kinda had an argument with my friends, and I walked out of our place, and there wasn’t really anywhere else to go, so…”

You frown deeply.

“You don’t know anyone else in the city?”

“Not exactly.” She shrugs, smiling a little sheepishly. “We’re kinda new here.”

Yeah, that you can tell.

>[X] Ask if she needs some company.

You look her over.

She’s probably Laura’s age, isn’t she? Maybe a year or so older, but no more than that. You’ve no idea why the Blonde Phantom is even employing her and her friends (that said, you’ve no idea why she’s employing you. You wouldn’t employ you), though, considering the number of winks she managed to squeeze into the term ‘intern’ when referring to them, you’re more or less certain that there’s some kind of outlier circumstances at work.

Maybe they’re friends of friends. Or they’re homeless kids, like you.

For a second, you even consider asking Nico if she’s a mutant, but your caution wins out, and you decide to drop that particular line of thought.

“You need some company?”

Her eyes widen in surprise, and she looks awake for the first time since she opened the door.

“No… it’s cool, I’m…” She blushes a little. “…I mean, no offense, or anything, but it’s fine. I’ve done this before. Thanks for asking, though.”

“No prob.” You reply, feeling a little chuffed up. You’re JJ and you’re helping. “Well, I better get going…”

You say your goodbyes and head off toward the Scar. On the way, it occurs to you that the Tabbycat would still be open at this hour, and you could probably pop in.

>[X] Nah, you should be getting back. You can do it tomorrow.

Nah, screw it.

You have to do it at some point, but not tonight. Tonight you’ve been drugged and possibly manhandled by a superhero, and your phone has been stolen (to be replaced by a better one, true, but still). The intrinsic rights of man state, if you recall correctly, that you don’t have to do anything else tonight itself stumble home and get into your tent and go to sleep forever.

And that is exactly what intend on doing.

It’s past midnight when you make your way back to the Scar, the ruins clustered together in eerie silence, like immense clumps of shadow. No fires, no lights. None around your general stretch of the Scar, anyhow. Somebody’s gotta be awake, somewhere – you can’t imagine that guy rooming with Guthrie, the guy with the weird light around his head and the mad eyes, doing anything like sleeping.

Not anyone you know all too well, though. When you make your way down into the station, the stove is long dead, and only thin, barely-perceptible ghosts of smoke cling to the stain of old wood where you guys usually set up your fire. You strobe your vision through an alternating awareness of heat and sound, and you count the clumps of life.

Six. Everyone’s here.

Yawning, you crawl into your tent. Laura is curled up beside your sleeping bag, her chest rising and falling in slow, shallow movements. The way she sleeps reminds you of a cat.

As you lower yourself down, one of her eyes flicks open, a sudden explosion of bright, verdant green against the mottled greys and browns of your tent. She stares at you for a moment, silently observant, before letting her eye fall shut once more.

Your chest suddenly feels tight.

>[X] Kiss her.

You fold around her, nuzzling up close, her back arched against your chest. She flinches slightly, the muscles tightening throughout her body, but it’s only passing. You rest your head beside hers, the smell of her hair filling your nostrils, embracing you, tightening around you. There are goosebumps under her skin, where your hand lies upon her shoulder. You trace your fingers down her arm and feel them move with you.

“…Are you mad?” You whisper, a little unnerved by her silence. You were expecting her to ask her how it’d gone, or why you were so late.

She remains quiet for a good while.

“No.” She says, finally. The wait was pretty telling, though.

“You sure?”

“I am not angry with y”– Her voice trails off into a desperately quiet squeal as you place a kiss upon the nape of her neck. Her smell flows through you, the taste of her flesh blooming over your lips – the rushing of her blood, the prickling of her skin, the intricacies of her texture.

You continue, placing hiss after kiss upon her flesh, moving around her neck. She gasps, squirming against you, as you trail your way up beyond her chin, your lips brushing at hers. You drink her in for a moment, the brilliance of her eyes, her stare, the shallow, excited rhythm of her breath. Then you kiss her, all but falling into it, her taste enveloping you.

When you pull away, she’s breathing heavily, her shoulders quaking very slightly. Her eyes look distant, almost dazed. You feel yourself swell with want, and love, and lust, and no small amount of pride.

There are a lot of things you want to do right now.

It’s not really the time or the place, though, so you nuzzle back down beside her, letting her enjoy the glow leftover by your kiss. Sliding your hand down her arm, you fold one of your big dumb scaly hands around hers, and place one, final peck atop the crown of her head before closing your eyes.

“Night.” You whisper. And the next part is kinda difficult, clinging to the sides of your throat in its insistence not to be spoken. But it comes out anyway, quiet and almost slurred, lower even than a murmur. “I love you.”

Her head jerks toward you, and you open your eyes, finding yourself looking straight into her brilliant greens. She stares in something very much like disbelief, or shock, or bewilderment. Eventually, in a single, hurried motion, she presses herself closer, burying her face in your shoulder. You feel big, hot tears spreading through your shirt.

You stroke her back as the two of you fall off to sleep.
>>
>(2/2)

You awaken to the smell of chicken. Your stomach rumbles mournfully.

Forcing your eyes open, you take a moment to absorb all the things your brain is telling you. For example, it says you actually met Moon Knight last night, and even managed to get a ride in his extremely sweet car. It says he drugged you with something in the air and dumped you down in an alley with a new phone and a wad of cash. It tells you all this is real, and that you’re going to have to do something about it eventually, but at the moment you’re not really all too inclined to believe your brain.

If your brain was any good, you wouldn’t be homeless, right?

Laura lies against you, her breath warming your chest. She’s awake – you can tell by the way her eyelids move – but she’s dozing. You lift your arm up to glance at your watch, and she complains in a low, muffled tone, wrapping her arms a little tighter around your midsection.

>Present Time: 10:22 AM
>Hunger Level: 6

You consider moving. You consider going to get some of that tasty tasty chicken. As if prescient somehow to urgings of your stomach, Laura spreads her weight a little further over you, moving her head up your chest, just under your collarbone.

>[X] You guess you’re staying here a while.

Well, it’s not like you need food to live or anything.

You settle down and let yourself drift across the precipice of sleep. In the half-formed flow of dreams that passes under you, you feel as though every movement Laura makes against you is colossal, made of lightyears of aching starry black. You feel as though you’re floating together over the atmosphere of some strange, iridescent world, its continents cut from silver and seas the colour of clear skies. Everything – the suns, the moons, the universe in total – stretches out above you, immense and cold, breathtaking in its enormity.

“Did…” Laura’s voice calls you back from the dreamshell. Your eyes blink open, and you see that she’s resting her chin on your chest, her hair falling like a torrent of night across your shirt. A small, difficult expression hangs around her cheekbones, and her eyes remain angled straight down, refusing to look straight into yours. “…Did you mean what you said last night?”

You swallow. Your heart stumbles, a taut, almost cornered sensation winding through your chest.

“…Yeah.” You say, nodding slowly.

She blinks rapidly, her eyes moving from one side of your chest to the other. Eventually, she just hides her face in your shirt. She stays like that for a good minute, her breath forming a growing patch of dampness. When she finally speaks, her voice come out in an awkward, low mumble.

“I… is it… can I not say that?” You feel her swallow heavily. You didn’t really think she did stuff like that. “For… for a while?”

Smiling, you stroke the back of her head. She tightens up for a moment, her shoulders bunching, before she lets herself fall slack.

“That’s fine.”

You didn’t exactly expect that to be easy for her. It wasn’t easy for you.

She breathes out a long, relieved sigh.

I was wondering, does she feel pain from all of her duplicates? if the answer is no than they are far more useful than if yes, as she could use them as honeypots and/or target baiting. (She still could be just demanifesting them against melee attackers but still). You know, she walks them around areas we know the enemy are watching, gets ""kidnapped"" by them, then suddenly de manifests with information, would work exactly once but would fucking work.

You’re not really sure what else to say now – you might not need to say anything, but words having been exchanged now, and any subsequent silence is like a vast, cold expanse, eating into you. So you say this:

“I’m Lunar Lizard now, by the way.”

“…What?”

You tell Laura about Moon Knight – who he is, what he does, how your encounter with him went. You neglect to mention that you spent most of your conversation with the white-clad avenger (lower case, you’re pretty certain he’s not an Avenger avenger) quaking in your boots and drooling all over one side of your coat, because, let’s be honest, nobody needs to know about that.

“Do you believe he is a threat?” She asks, her tone slipping back toward the flat, uninflected quiet of your first meeting. You guess this is what she knows.

“I’m… I’m not sure.” You’re really not. “He is technically a superhero. I think he wants to kind of help.”

“But we shouldn’t trust him.” Laura states, all but finishing your sentence. You weren’t going to say it aloud, but you were thinking it. “I understand.”

You stay wrapped up together a little while before, with great reluctance, acknowledging that at some point you will need to get up and go out. Pushing aside the a fabric of your tent, you flinch slightly at the bright morning rays slicing in from outside. The station is quiet save for the low bubbling of the stove the sound of Noriko chopping her way through a pair of tomatoes. She glances up at the two of you as you emerge from your tent, and you definitely see an eyebrow angle its way upwards. She doesn’t say anything about it, though.

“Morning.” She grunts.

“Y-yeah.” You cough artificially. “Morning.”

“…Don’t tell Layla.” You say, after a moment of thought.

“Hah.” Noriko guffaws quietly, dropping a bunch of awkwardly chopped tomatoes into the bubbling water. “Roger that. Though, I don’t see you fooling anyone for long…”

Beside you, Laura blinks, watching the exchange with a look of detached curiosity. You guess Layla doesn’t really worry her. You remember when they were most definitely not each other’s favourite people – when Layla first turned up, Laura just about tolerated her presence, and Layla did everything she could do make that harder.

Nowadays Layla just doesn’t seem able to phase Laura.

“Thanks. Mind putting an extra chicken breast on?” You think, and immediately correct yourself. “Or two? Or four or five?”

She glances up at you, her brow rising in amusement.

“Man, you eat a shit ton, don’t you?” Chuckling, she reaches for another packet of poultry goodness. “How’d you ever survive out here?”

Well, you weren’t always like this, were you?

“It’s a mystery.” You say, and leave it at that.

You talk about the Young X-Men to pass the time, your eyes rarely straying far from the stove. Apparently, they didn’t really run into anything resembling trouble last night, but they did get to see quite a bit of the Scar. The Young X-Men know about most of the raggedy little groups hunkering down amidst the ruins – who they are, where they generally make camp, that sort of thing. Noriko teamed up with the Muslim girl and Rahne, who she describes as an actually pretty cute little redhead.

You guess she has lucid stretches, or something. The footfalls you associate with Rahne are not those of a young girl.

“We’re gonna go out again this afternoon.” She notes. “I’ll be wandering around with Victor and someone else, I think.”

Cool. Victor seems okay. From the sound of it, they've mostly been rolling out with people you've at least met in passing, which you like.

When food is up you try to eat as politely as possible. You actually use your knife and fork, for one, and you do that chewing thing. Still, it’s hard not to just fork up as much chicken as possible, and you end your meal feeling less than satisfied. It’s not that it’s bad, or anything (though Noriko really isn’t the best cook), it’s just… not enough.

Man you guys want to put off this plot line as long as humanly possible huh? I mean sure dealing with a mafia boss' kidnapped (daughter I think it was?) is a bit sticky but we did agree to deal with this particular branch of the underworld ourselves. As an aside, we really should splurg a little on a meal to get hunger down to 2 if we can.

Well, you don’t have to leave right now, do you?

You can stick around the Scar a bit, maybe get some exercise in, then top yourself up on something greasy and vile on your way out. New York has no shortage of deliriously fatty places to eat at. Burgers, pizzas, fajitas, assorted pastry abominations – they come in all shapes and all sizes, from merely excessive to Giant-Man sized (seriously, that was a thing back when he was popular for a while) to truly stellar in proportions.

Turning to Laura (who, to your slight dismay, has insisted on sitting a little further back from the stove than the two of you), you ask her if she’s up for a bit of a workout.

“Maybe start a little slower, this time?”

She smiles very slightly. Maybe even a little sheepishly.

“I would like that.”

Telling you to “Have fun”, Noriko waves you off. You’re pretty sure she’s getting the wrong idea, but, eh, she’s not much of a blabbermouth. And she did promise not to tell Layla.

You head out into the Scar, Laura keeping an eye out for an appropriate spot. It takes a little longer than before – the snow is thinner now, less viable as a cushion – but soon enough she picks a little dip in the ground some ways east of the station.

Rather than starting with an overwhelming beatdown, Laura takes you through a few of the moves she drilled you on way back when you were new to the Scar, before it became Mutantopia. Before any of the really crazy shit started. You kick, punch, and chop at air for a solid hour, moving in step with Laura as she demonstrates how to throw a proper fist in someone’s face or kick the shins out from under dudes.

It's all very structured and safe, considering. You don't even find it all that tiring.

The hours slog on.

It doesn’t tire you out, but, eventually, it does settle you into a comfortably dull routine. You sweat and your muscles ache, but you feel like you have this constant bulwark inside you, pushing you just a step or two back from the point of total exhaustion. Laura takes you through one sequence, then another, then another, and cycles back. Eventually you stop thinking about putting one foot in front of the other or swinging whichever arm where, and it just happens, your movements seeming to flow naturally from somewhere other than your mind.

The sun turns overhead.

Laura glances at you occasionally, watching with something approaching concern.

Eventually, she grinds to a halt mid-kata, leaving you to complete the set – you do it before you even realize she’s stopped.

Not sure whether you should be continuing or, you dunno, taking a break or something, you straighten up, coughing awkwardly.

“Something wrong?”

She considers that for a moment – a longer moment than you’re entirely comfortable with – before moving to stand side by side with you.

“Not exactly…” She lapses into silence for a second, looking you up and down, as if trying to snatch some detail she’s missed from your physique. Eventually, she speaks up once again:

“Stand and watch for a moment.” She says, flatly, before a moment’s hesitation enters her step, and she quickly adds a small, quiet “Please.”

"Yeah, sure."
>>
>(2/2)

Before your eyes, she launches into a complex whirlwind of kicks and punches, starting off with a spinning leap and scything her legs about as she comes down, dropping low to strike a flurry of blows under some imaginary opponent’s guard. The movement ends with a second series of kicks, most of them utilizing the same leg.

She stops, breathes, and does it again.

And again.

And again.

And… and again and again and again and...

Eventually, she stops, hopping momentarily on the spot to loosen up. She turns her gaze toward you.

“Now you.”

Uh…

“Laura, I’m not sure I can really just”–

“Do it, John.” She says, her tone firm.

“Alrighty, then…”

Feeling entirely like you’re about to plant your face into the ground, you rub your hands together, steeling yourself. You call to mind your brief, mental image of Laura striking through the air – a blur of slipping, slicing motion, even after she showed you it time after time after time.

Man this is going to be awful.

You kick off the ground.

And… and you find your leg moving almost of its own accord, your weight shifting with purpose that comes naturally and fluidly, as though the wind itself is bending your body to its will, stirring you onwards. You execute the first kick perfectly – absolutely perfectly – before dropping down into a set of punches you rattle off before you even know you’re doing it. You’re not sure you get the end quite right – that stuff she was doing with her leg was pretty complex – but you’re astounded at how easily the gist of it comes to you.

It’s over in just over a second, and you realize you’re holding the same stance Laura does at the end of all her sets.

You stare down at your hands, eyes bulging in disbelief.

“What… what the hell was that?”

“You completed the maneuver.” States Laura. “Almost perfectly.”

Yeah, you got that.

“…How?”

She moves beside you, taking up one of the stances from the previous sets. Almost immediately, without even thinking about it, you fall straight into the stance she taught you to take in response. The motion is fast, thoughtless, and perfectly aligned.

“I’m not sure.” She admits, straightening up. “It is possible that you have some sort of enhanced muscle memory. Other mutants have exhibited similar powers.”

You’re willing to bet they didn’t have claws and scales and eye beams too, though.

You imagine, as if standing outside your own body, the frenzied blur that you must have been. As you stare down at your hands – your fists – different images, as if scattered in the slipstream of your movements, begin to crowd in on your mind. You imagine Kimura, her face shattered down the middle, tongue slack and corneas detached, one eye tangled madly from its socket, one rolled upwards in ugly, undignified death. You imagine Barracuda with his arm bent awkwardly, teeth smashed from his face, blood drooling from bloated, bruised lips. You imagine Creeper clutching at broken legs.

“John?” Laura’s voice calls you back. She stares at you with a curious poise to her stance.

“…Yeah?”

She steps forward a little, watching your expression closely.

“Why are you smiling?”

You feel at your mouth.

You are smiling.

You swallow, and push it all to the back of your mind. It simmers there like a bad – like a great – dream.

You have to admit, though. This is pretty immensely cool.

“...It’s nothing.” You decide, eventually. Laura furrows her brow, almost too briefly for it to be perceived. You catch it, though. “Wanna get something to eat? I’m starved. Seems like I get hungrier every time one of these new powers pops up.”

She nods slowly, and you head out of the Scar.

Teeth roll in your imagination.

If not wanting to put the people closest to us in extreme peril is cowardice, then I guess I am a coward. The only way I could be persuaded to vote for that power would be if we got JJ and the gang to a point where they could conceivably defend themselves against all-comers. As others have said, it feels more like an end-game power than something to rush into foolishly.

I'm talking "Magneto, SHIELD, various world governments, and an ass load of sentinels on our asses" levels of extreme peril. A mutant who can turn flatscans into mutants and also cure cancer is going to be a hot commodity, for better or for worse.

more powers/upgrading power means more hunger.

Yes, but I'd imagine that we'd also get gangbusters backing. Magneto would defend us to fucking death, along with his Brotherhood.

Basically our blood can spawn trees whose fruit can give people a significant temporary healing factor, correct genetic disorders AND ACTIVATE LATENT X-GENES. Basically, cure cancer, MS, and everything else while turning people into mutants.

A few threads back Crusty said that granting mutant abilities to flatscans is part and parcel of all the fruits he grows using that power. There is no separating the two.

The idea of use actually hearing speech from Groot when all everyone else is getting is "I am Groot" may actually be the first decent reason to waste our limited remaining x-points on plant linguistics.
>>
>>37915435
Yeah, it basically tailors the X-gene to fix whatever's is wrong with the person who consumes the fruit. It's a shame that our stalker isn't more sane and someone we could actually talk to about whatever the fuck is going on with us.
