01 DNA Strands

[Anyone unfortunate enough to be in the lobby tonight is in for a bit of a light show. An armored figure seemingly appears out of nowhere surrounded by fiery energy, as he instinctively looses his powers on whatever it was that had caused this sudden shift in equilibrium. The last he knew, Evan had been flying with Miss Braddock, Mr. Deadpool, and Professor Logan on their way back from the Brotherhood's secret stronghold, the body of his "father", Fantomex, in tow. Wherever he was, it wasn't the inside of E.V.A., and considering what he'd experienced at the hands of Mr. Farouk, he wasn't about to take any chances...until he realizes that the Shadow King can't touch him with his powers any more, causing him to panic, growing his hands to several times their normal size to pat out the fire he unintentionally created.]

Ohhhh shoot, what'd I do this time? Stupid powers going out of control when I don't want them to, because of this stupid suit Daken wanted me to wear...

[One of his massive hands brushes over the journal as he struggles to put out the fire in the lobby, which catches his attention.]

Huh? What's this thing?

No, not everyone. Mutants like us are kind of rare I guess. There used to be a lot more, until a mutant with magic powers took a lot of people's powers away. A lot of people died. Some of my friends are some of the first mutants to discover their powers after it happened.

[Not mentioning Apocalypse's attempt to get baseline humans to kill off 90% of their population so that mutants and humans were on even footing. He doesn't like to think about that.]
