[i]Are we really sure about that?[/i] thought Alexander, before saying:

"It appears that powers are being openly used here. Guess we're not having that cliched X-Men scenario...yet." [i]God must be personally interfering to make sure that fears and predjudices didn't matter.[/i] 

"Well, at least we still have some coin," Alexander changed the subject. "Anyway, Kyle," he began to ask, "what's your life like? How'd you get those powers? For me, well...my powers came from survivor's guilt." Many people [i]had[/i] died from the Martian Virus, after all.

"I'm not sure if we're going into an xmen senario or not.  After that kid and I used our powers we got looks from several people in the crowd.  The ref even had to step in and say that because powers weren't forbidden in the rules and because we hadn't cheated the kid could continue.  Lost to you in the last round, but I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't allowed to use our powers, or even participate next year.  It took decades before things really went down hill for the xmen."  He paused for a moment.  "We need a professor X."

"As for my powers, I fell down some stairs."  He was going to stop there, but realized it sounded like he was trying to cover up abuse.  "Really, broke my neck.  I was in the hospital unable to move and it got ridiculous.  the nurse had to bathe me, feed me, carry away my shit, wipe my ass, everything.  I just wanted to be able to do something by myself.  That's when the tv remote came to me.  After that I got the healing, for obvious reasons, and when my cousin with super strength started to train me I got durability, again for obvious reasons.  You?"
