<span class="mu-g">“And that’s why no one wants to race you anymore.”</span> Glass said.
<span class="mu-b">“It’s not my fault that I’m so awesome.”</span> Iara protested.
<span class="mu-r">“And humble too.”</span> you commented.
That got a laugh out of everyone, Shark included. And by the time you reached your destination, Ester was already there waiting for you, cementing her title as the fastest mutant in Central Park.
—-------
<span class="mu-g">“Alright everybody, we need ideas.”</span> Glass declared.
He and the others managed to round up pretty much every mutant in Central Park. Even Nature Girl showed up, but she was very clearly distracted by a pair of squirrels quarreling in the background.
<span class="mu-g">“We’ve already suggested that Nature Girl and Ester focus on raising livestock, growing food and other goods that we can trade for.”</span> Glass continued.
<span class="mu-g">“I’m not raising animals to be slaughtered if that’s what you’re thinking.”</span> Nature Girl snapped, giving Glass the side eye.
<span class="mu-g">“You won’t have to. That’s what this meeting is for.”</span> Glass clarified.
<span class="mu-r">“We know what you’re all about, Lin.”</span>
This voice came from a tall, skinny boy with bird-like features. His name was Barnell, but everyone called him “Beak”.
Lin frowned slightly, but she inclined her head in place of an apology. Glass went on.
<span class="mu-g">“To be clear-”</span>
Some people in the audience chuckled at that.
<span class="mu-g">“We’re not moving forward with anything if you’re not comfortable with it.”</span>
With those words, the tension in the audience dissipated a bit.
<span class="mu-g">“With that being said, I want all of your opinions on ways that we can make a decent living.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“What about the fairy flowers?”</span> Nature Girl asked.
Glass shook his head.
<span class="mu-g">“That can’t be our only source of income. We can’t stay in this park forever, and we’ll probably have to start paying rent or taxes when we find our forever home.”</span>
<span class="mu-s">“Mutants don’t <span class="mu-i">have</span> a ‘forever home’.”</span> said the one called “Skids”.
Everyone turned to look at her.
