What If? - Making My Way The Only Way I Know How
To hell with both of those narrow-minded creeps, Lisa Graves thought to herself as she hopped off the back of the truck shed hitched a ride on. She was sixteen, she was a mutant, and as of yesterday, she was disowned.

There hadn't been any ranting. No being locked in the basement or shipped off to some camp. She had simply come home from school to find the locks changed, a packed bag on the porch, and a slip of paper with the address and access code for storage unit where the rest of her things could be found.

She choked down her rage and frustration as she made her way down the last mile of road towards the Xavier school, pressing the intercom at thr front gate.

"Hello? My name is Lisa. Someone told me you help mutants here."

	"Oh... cool." Lisa manages a smile, looking Cait over now the way something that lurks in the tall grass might look at something young and tender limping by. "If I'm not prying," She smiles. "What do you do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm a hydrokinetic," Cait answered. "I can control water." She pulled a small amount of water out of the air and formed it into a bubble. The bubbled wavered and started to take a shape. Then it hardened into ice. Cait held a small ice dolphin in the palm of her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lisa's eyes widened with eager interest. "That's amazing... do you think I could try it--" a beat "--sometime?" Don't push your luck before you've even got your stuff put down, stupid. Be patient. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said. "I practice a lot. You're a hydrokinetic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do... whatever I can. I steal powers. Half of them, anyway." Lisa tries to explain. "I'm still working out the particulars." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does the person you steal them from lose their powers?" Cait asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not quite. I can only take half of someone's power, I think. I get half of their max, and they get brought down to the same level." Lisa tries to explain. "Still need to experiment with it more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is it permanent?" Cait asked. She had to ask. She didn't want anyone taking half her powers and Cait being powered down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	~~Not yet.~~ "Seems to only last as long as I can maintain focus on it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No offense, but don't even think about taking mine unless you ask." Cait opened the front door and held it open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course not. That'd be rude. Practically bordering on r-- assault." Some people got sensitive about the r-word, and she doesn't need to risk stepping on any toes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait nodded. "If you'll wait here, I'll go get the Professor or Professor Summers." (Reply to this)(Parent)
