Even with her ears she did not hear the women over the morning storm. She opened and even pushed the door closed behind her. Her cat like ears twitched atop her head at the stopping footfalls and froze herself. She was sure she would be in some trouble for this and considered a few scenarios in her head. Maybe she should have waited another half hour, or ran. Why did she even let herself fall asleep?

Luna could blush but she had picked up her own embarrassed ticks. She ran the short claws on her right hand onto the fur in her left."No Ma'am, I am so sorry, i was reading and fell asleep." she tried to explain. Though she was 5'1 she stood several inches shorter then that due to her now natural bent posture. She blinked and realized she could hardly see the woman who was pretty concerned which made her feel bad for worrying the woman. She slipped her glasses under her shirt for a moment rubbing them against her fur before replacing them and blinking.

"Please do not worry but um if you could show me a towel...or like eight and a blow dryer i would be so grateful."" she said. her fur feeling heavy with the rain clinging to her fur. Luckily skunk fur was warm and so it kept her from being to cold, but her tail and back did not like the added weight. To demonstrate her point she reached behind and pulling her tail forward, she showed the dripping tail fur the long guard hairs hanging near two inches.

"Oh right! My name, I am Luna Light, i have been here just a few weeks now. I'm fourteen and new to the mutant thing" she said letting the claws from her free hand stroke the tail fur. "So um what;s your name and am in trouble?" she asked her nose twitching slightly as it took in the mansions scents as well as her own wet fur smell.

She heard the awful things the men said about her and tried harder to break free, bit even with her feet under her she did not have the strength to break their grasp. She struggled but the claws on her feet were only stroking the fur of her tail. Luna's mind began to race, trauma and fear boring through her. She recalled the anti mutant ambush at her school briefly even as she pressed against those restraining her. Luna Heard the familiar voice but could not quite place it.

As soon as she felt the Hands lift from her, her tail swung out straight and fired another shot, it was much two low to hit anything more then the back of the boot of one of the men but the effect was immediate. The alley very quickly took a pungent smell to it. She scrambled to her feet bewildered, a Monkey Man and another guy she was unsure of but knew had entered first.

She looked wildly around her left alone and not quite sure what to do. Luna knew she had claws and her scent of course but Luna had never needed to fight before. However panic and the fact that it was a dead end alley meant their was one way to go.

She heard a man scream as the Ape mutant put him down and restrained him. Going from 1 helpless girl and 6 adult male two vaguely a 3 on 6 changed the once brave men's spirits. One of the turned and began to run while another of them pulled a pistol from his pocket and began firing, Luna felt one past threw the fluff of her tail as she did her best to look fierce and intimidating as she held her tail looking for a shot.

The others attackers were looking worried now what should have been a nice easy job, was now a real fight and the idiot had used his gun. That would attract cops they knew.

Not for the first time Luna wished she had gotten an animal with maybe a bit more bulk, an elephant for example. Sure you would still get harassed but well Elephants were tough to kill. Or even a Tiger that would have been fun. She hoped the rest if these idiots would just run but she kept her eye on the gun guy.

She knew their was more to it of course, but she could not deny to herself the awesomeness that perfected, confident and powerful look. As a kid she had always hoped if she was a mutant she would get something strong she could use. Skunk girl had not really entered the list. She knew how her power could defend herself but it was hard to see how she could rescue anyone and be the hero the woman in front of seemed to be.

She regretted the question as she said it and and saw Maya sigh and take a seat. It was never good when adults did that. Luna quickly took a seat as well sweeping her tail into her arm as she did, as not to sit on on it.

Something that connected her with her powers? It was hard to imagine how she was connected with hers other then being what everyone saw. Maybe it was because she had always been a bit of a loner? Maybe she needed to find it to feel truly comfortable with herself. "It's hard to imagine a connection but i had no idea their was something like that she said thinking a bit further into the idea. Maybe it was like a game where an event would eventually tell her but that seemed to unlikely.

"I thought that might be the case but i did have some hope. I mean if we were close i suppose we would not need places like this? Though i Suppose this is good for power control. she said starting to ramble a bit. "I mean I guess i just did not expect getting a power to be so life changing. Was it tough for you, to learn you were a mutant?" she asked curiously. She still had issues accepting her power as a good thing.

She perked up at her power being called impressive. While not the first time Luna had been told that, it had been rare and Mirror seemed more sincere then others who had said so. Angua still kept his distance and she wondered if the dog got use to her, if it would try and be friendly with actual skunks. Prolbely not something to test out but she had been curious. Part of her did wonder if Mirror told everyone who came through the gates their power was impressive, as it's not she seemed the type to just say your power was low tier. Take the compliment she told herself, beating back the internal voices in her head.

The thought of a power being dangerous was one she knew off but not one that effected her really so she had often just swept it under the rug in her mind. Mirrors words however brought to her mind. Sure she was a skunk human thing but as far as she could tell their was not any real way that could hurt her or hurt other long term. The mention of the X team was interesting, she had seen them on the news a bit here and there and knew though. She may not of recognized mirror herself but if true and had no reason to doubt the nice woman"Seems like a lot to do. So you stop bad people then? That sounds exciting and fun" she said thinking what it would be like to be a super hero. Perhaps she could prevent issues like what had effected her.

She did not really understand how much she took her own powers ease of control for granted next to those who struggled. She had to work on not spraying things when she was startled but other then that their was not much that could go wrong. Danger and control however were related when thought about it.

"I want to help others some day, make sure what happened to me does not happen to others, kinda thing, but i really don't think i would do well vs a gun but i could be like the smelly avenger" she said not really knowing how her power could be useful in that goal.

"You ever wonder why we get the mutations we get? Like what in nature decided i needed to be a skunk, instead of getting a cool power, like teleportation or super strength or flight? or why some are visible?" she said not wanting to openly admit she would rather have one of the cool powers.

"Why do so many people bear hatred for us?" she asked having been trying to work up to this question. She did want to help people but she was also more then a little scared around humans or those who she did not know were mutants. She eventually got use to certain humans, but it was hard and more of a case by case basis, which she wanted to overcome.

Mirror seemed nice enough, though how it could be her power, she was unsure. She mentally pictured somebody who could alter your reflection in a mirror. It could also be like the fairy tale where the evil lady asked who was the fairest.

She was comforting as well and Luna wondered if this was something she had seen a lot. With all the mutants here some of their stories might of been like her she thought. She was surprised however when the woman told her the fear she had developed of humans from the anti-mutant attack was not wrong. It took her a second thinking Mirror might have been referring to the anti-mutant terrorists themselves. "My friend said a woman sheathed in pink light saved her but just cried if i asked any more, i was knocked out before i saw anything like that though" she said. All her parents had ever said was when you were older, the looks of discomfort on their faces however told Luna whatever it was, was not good.

"It's really beautiful here, some of the things ive seen have been cool" she said a little excitement showing through in her voice and thinking of the different mutant powers she had seen over the past few days. "I Like it better since theirs a dog, they tend to mind me a bit more then i mind them" she went on, glancing back at the dog. "Is school here anything like public school?" she asked curiously knowing she had to go to class at the mansion. They had decided to give her a few days to adjust however.
