Boredom Overtakes Me (open)
To say that Rikki was bored out of her mind was an understatement.  She had been in New York for nearly six months now and, sparring sessions with Sengai and Gio aside, she hadn't gotten to hit anyone in all that time.  And just when she'd finally thought that she'd get a chance to, the thought that someone had planted a bomb, it had turned out to be nothing more than a minor gas leak, leaving her violent impulses with no where to go.

And she couldn't even take any of her anger or boredom out on the Flatscans.  No hitting any of them, no picking them up by the throat, nothing.  Had to play nice with them. 

As for today?  Well, she'd already worked out as much as was mutantly possible, even for someone who could increase their physical strength by increasing their density.   The television sucked, and she'd already watched most of the video contents on her laptop.

Magneto help her, she was reading.  A biography.  Of a Flatscan.

It was possibly worse that she was actually enjoying it.

He nods a he reads over the back. "The drive to overcome so much is commendable." He hands it back. "May I borrow it when you finish?"

"Sure," she agrees.

"'s funny. People used to say the same shit about black people that they do about mutants. Wonder if that's a good sign or bad."

"It sill goes on today back home. The ongoing conflict between the Tamil and Sinhalese. Fear of the unknown is a part of human nature. I don't doubt the day mutants are the majority, that something new will emerge and become a new target of fear, anger, and hate."

"Black, a woman, and a mutant," Rikki said. "Mom always said we had all three strikes right from the start, so we had to fight for every thing."

She frowns. "Hate to say it, but you're probably right."

"There are far worse things to be in this world," he says with a smile. "Perhaps so, Rikki, but there will always be a place for those like us to keep things from going, how do the Americans say it? Completely batshit?"

Okay, this actually got a laugh out of her. "When did you learn to talk like that?"

He laughs. "I've found there is very little that isn't said on television."

"Yeah. I'll say this for Americans, the tv ain't bad."

"Heh," Rikki chuckled. "Me, I like things loud."

She nodded. "Charlotte has... interesting tastes."

He smiles. "Everyone is entitled to like what they wish." He laughs at the second statement. "That she does, but I must say, being around her is never boring."

Another laugh. "That's a good way to put it. I still can't believe she ran away like that."

He thinks about that for a moment. "Perhaps not, Rikki. She is the daughter of Magneto, so naturally she has grown up protected. However she's a young woman now. Could you imagine having your own life monitored constantly? She likely wanted a chance to be just another girl."

Rikki gave this some thought, then spoke.

"She is not just any girl. She is the daughter of Lord Magneto."

He nods. "That's true, but perhaps that's why those moments are so crucial. For some day her duty as Magneto's daughter will take full precedence. I imagine these times will be pleasant memories during the days of responsibility. For deep down, perhaps she knows such opportunities will not be available forever."

"Huh," Rikki said. "Never really thought about it that way."

Rikki laughed. "Gio is my best friend, but she does not know how to loosen up. At all. As for you, well..."

She shrugged. "Couldn't say."
