I love the spin on telekinesis. Congrats on the new character!

She knew her sister viewed humans as animals and so referring to them as such didn't cause any reaction in Amber.  Her own philosophy of hunting was different: Since she usually hunted for food it was usually better to have as little challenge as possible.  Challenge meant the possibility of being wounded and being wounded in the wild meant things could, in turn, hunt you.  Still, she was back in the human world now so perhaps the rules were different.

"That makes a lot of sense," she nodded, considering.  She'd never quite understood her sister's attraction to killing gang members, anyway.  Sure, most of them were pretty terrible and didn't deserve to live, but it didn't do any good because there were always more to fill their place.  "Not only killing them, but what about infiltrating important places too?  Like, spies and maybe even taking over places of power?"  She could be a good spy, probably.

"Of course we can talk on the way," she agreed.  It was just so good to have her sister back again.

Congrats on the new character. Looking forward to seeing him around the boards

The red cat-like mutant was seriously starting to annoy her with his more-dangerous-than-though self deprivation.  Did he seriously think he was the only dangerous mutant to have ever accidentally hurt or even killed someone.  She set her black eyes upon him, mustering every bit of intimidation she knew she possessed.  

"Do you really think you're the only one to have accidentally hurt someone because you're a mutant?  Newsflash: You're not.  So what if you don't have a choice about how your power works, you learn how to be careful and protect the people around you and you stop moping."  The anger in her words surprised even herself.  What made him so special anyway?  She'd killed before herself, accidentally and only because she was a mutant.  She had dealt with it, moved on and continued to live her life.

The other woman seemed to share much the same views as she.  She didn't ask about who or how she'd hurt someone important to her, but she did not her agreement.  It seemed to be a common experience among mutants.

She felt ashamed of her actions, ashamed of losing control so completely.  This had never happened before, even at the very beginning when she was just learning what it was to be a mutant with powers.  She was supposed to be better than this, not just some feral ruled by the instincts of the forms she inhabited.  Usually, she was better than this.

The bear also seemed to be regaining control of itself and had found something to eat.  Was that what this whole thing had been about?  It being hungry and her being in its way?  How had things spiraled so quickly and so completely?  And to have her new friend Jack there to stop the madness only served to make things worse.  What would she think of her now?  Her actions were unforgivable.

Despite her growing despair and guilt, she was much more in control of herself and, deciding it was best to listen to the prawn lady, triggered a shift back.  Pain momentarily ripped through her body as bones contorted and scales and feathers retreated back into pale, smooth flesh.  The crocodile was no more and in its place stood a small, ashamed mutant girl.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered, looking around at the carnage.  The gash on her face was deep and continued to leek blood, even in this form although due to her unique physiology it was all ready starting to stop.  Her ribs hurt abominably and a quick glance down revealed extensive bruising.

Amber glanced in the direction of the bear to see an Asian girl in its place.  Another mutant.  Of course.  "I'm so sorry."  She apologized to the girl directly.  She turned to Jack next.  "Did I hurt anyone?"  She made no attempt to cover her body in shame or otherwise acknowledge the fact that she was standing in the middle of the ruined kitchen, naked.

Ambrosia was looking forward to her meeting that afternoon.  The previous evening she'd gotten a call from a woman named Lexi.  Apparently the woman had an opportunity she might appreciate.  Not many details were dropped over the phone, but it was made clear that her work with mutants was known about, it was related to that and it might just involve an actual paycheck.  There was just enough spoken about the pique her interest while remaining ambiguous enough to drive her just a a little bit crazy in the waiting.

She had suggested the meeting place herself, a little park not far from home with plenty of places to talk with some degree of privacy, some lovely trees and a coffee shop for all life's caffeinated needs.  Some people, at least, required that boost in the morning. She was one such person.

Arriving shortly before noon, she parked her smart car and went straight for the coffee shop.  For years all she'd wanted was to become a social worker and counselor specializing in mutants and mutant problems.  She hadn't quite gotten there yet, mainly due to the high cost of school, but she did what she could to help mutants regularly.  Mostly, she helped direct them to helpful resources like shelters and food banks.  Maybe this meeting would prove to be the opportunity she needed to take that next step.  One could hope, anyway.

Once coffee had been successfully acquired, she walked up to a nearby bench, long skirt swishing gently in the breeze, to meet her mystery contact.

I'm looking to pickup another thread with a couple of threads having recently ended. Ambrosia is a visible mutant elf and faerie dragon shifter involved in mutant rights mostly through offering resources to mutants to find the resources they need to survive and thrive. Her name is somewhat known to SUPER as she makes no effort to hide her actions.

I'm up for almost any kind of thread. If SUPER wants to tag her or even possibly try to recruit or otherwise forge a working relationship with her, that could prove interesting.   She likely wouldn't make much of a SUPER agent, but there might be some use of her as a friendly contact with works with them rather than for them.  She's a visible mutant, but mostly pacifist and mostly known for doing actual good work to help mutants. If that doesn't work, I'd be open to suggestions.
