The audience stared open mouthed at me. "Let's just do a thought experiment," I breezed into the debate, "and imagine that super powered people, Supers, actually exist. Telepathy, Telekinesis.

This last bit was 'performed' as my fingers nimbly retrieved the hidden comic from a front row student's folder. The kid smiled sheepishly and impersonated a beetroot.

A voice from somewhere at the back answered him. "Then we should look in the asylums, Prof X…"

Prof X? The Mutant? That was a new one. 'Doc. Leaf', at least, had been somehow linked to my name. But asylums. Now… Tess was it? Shy. Exceptional thinker. Asylums… were a strong possibility.

I do all sorts of things. Mostly badly. Mostly better than others. I tell stories. Occasionally, I lie.
