[ this is Mary Jane Watson. it's pretty lateish at night and she's laying on a bed in a tanktop and sweats, hair pulled back. there's a book open before her and she's tapping a pencil against her bottom lip when she speaks up. ]

Hi, everyone. It's -- uh -- it's MJ again and I promise I won't start screaming or freaking out over this. I just have a question.

Like, I understand the major gist of this place, right? The Darkness and the Core, the big Two and so on, but... can you guys talk to me about your powers? The ones you have or the ones that were given to you. [ she pauses, twirling her pencil around her fingers ]

Just anything about them. I'm curious.

[ there's a beat, as she considers saying more and then: ]

Well, thanks.

I live a normal life. I have a regular family and I go to school and there can't be anything special about me.

[directorestheim]

That doesn't signify an extraordinary future.

There is the chance that the Core took you before those events happened.

[jackpots]

Shhh, don't say that. I just want to pretend that I'm nothing out of the ordinary.

[directorestheim]

[There's a frown in his tone.]

So you do fit the parameters.

[jackpots]

I hope I don't.

[directorestheim]

Ahh.

Then would you fit into either of the categories you described?

[jackpots]

Absolutely not.

[directorestheim]

So don't you think that signifies there may be another category of people that have nothing to do with powers?

[jackpots]

Yeah, I-I guess you're right.
