[ It's not the first time Erik's gotten that reaction here. Honestly, it's refreshing, almost freeing in a way. Erik has always been proud to be a mutant, but back in his world, calling oneself a mutant would be enough to make most people take a step back. There's some sense of acceptance, thanks mostly to Charles's work over the years, but that sense of suspicion and concern is still there.

But not here. Here, people show interest, they want to see what he can do, they want to know more. It's... strange, but it feels good. Like true acceptance. ]

I'm sure there are one or two mutants who are powerful enough to once have been considered gods, but mankind knows better now. [ For better and worse, but at least they won't be getting another En Sabah Nur anytime soon. ] And we're certainly not aliens. I was born in Dusseldorf, to human parents.
