(Akira)

Akira gave Gen a smile, "well, there's fitting in then there is showing off and around here, you really don't want to be showing off. In fact, I wouldn't tell anyone else, except for Ms. Mia and Ms. Del how you came to be. Others will find you trying to push into the mutant society, but you really aren't truly a mutant...not in the sense of others around here." He continued to lead the lad to the cafeteria. Soon the smell of delicious foods hit their noses. "They are starting to make lunch, but I am sure there is still some breakfast items left."

Gen favored Akira with a sidelong glance.??"The only real difference between you and me is that your genes were modified randomly by chance while mine were modified intentionally and with purpose.? I may not be a mutant by the traditional understanding of the word, but to the people who hate mutants, I doubt that they'll make any distinction. Or if they do, it's unlikely to be anything in my favor."
?
"I sure hope so," Gen said, falling in step with the other boy. "I've got a super-high metabolic rate and so I'm always kinda hungry.? Living on the streets isn't so bad though.? I mean, there's always food lying around, if you know where to look.? And if you're not picky," the androgyne added with a shrug.? "It also helps that my system is designed to handle just about anything that can be broken down into sugars and proteins.

(Donny)

"Kind of...I mean the sun does help me build up my strength, but once I am at full strength I am good. I have a mother, but now she doesn't have any powers. I think I got them from my dad, but he isn't around. Hasn't been since before I was born. What about you?" Donny asked.
?
?
"Well, I must've had a mother," Roddy said.? "No idea who she was, but there had to have been one, right?? I was in the foster system as far back as I can remember.? ?Was in a string of foster homes.? Some weren't too bad, but I never felt right in any of them.? I didn't like living with rules that others kept setting for me.? And after my power manifested, I just didn't see the point of living by other people's rules anymore so I just left."
?
"And now it seems I'm back," he sighed.? "Trying to get into the kind of place that I left.? The only difference here is that I don't have to hide anything.? Except for my attitude." He looked to Donny as if wanting some kind of approval or acceptance, adding?"But I'm trying to work on that.? I really am."
