A Little Concerned

Written by Michelle

Elata

"Geena -"

"My name is Elata, Mum."

Elata's mother looked at her daughter patiently.

"I'm a little concerned about your... obsession with mutants."

"I'm not obsessed with mutants! I'm inspired by their amazingness."

"Honey, you keep changing your skin clolour."

"I rather like the whole pink-purple fusion effect."

"That's not the point, Geena -"

"Elata!"

"And that's another thing. You insist on having a mutant name, even though you're not a mutant."

"You think the whole mutant name thing is silly in the first place."

"Well, yes, but - "

"See, the world is full of people like you mother, always persecuting mutants for no good reason!"

"I'm not - "

"Can't you see that mutants are amazing people, with amazing gifts? And one day I hope that one will consent to marry me and bless my womb with his children."

Elata's mother blinked.

"Geena, you haven't joined a cult, have you?"
