"Nothing, apparently," she said quietly as Red left the room.

She gathered up her sandwich and pop, then started to head into the TV room again.

"Hey, Jackie?" Angel asked quietly

"Yeah?" she said, turning to face him

"Are you for the bill or against it?" Angel asked

"I'm not decided yet," she said, "But I'm leaning more against it, because of all the terrible things people are doing to mutants! It's not like we chose this or anything, it just happened. And sometimes kids might not know they're mutant until something happens and they hurt someone, and then it was a total and complete accident, but people get mad anyways. Regular people don't even try to understand us, they just think of us as monsters!" She took a breath, trying to calm down after her fiery speech.

"Yeah, I'm against the bill, too, just because of what I've seen in my father, and my experience with how that makes me feel. He doesn't like mutants, like I said, and I was always an embarrassment of him. He never really wanted to be around me, because of my wings. That's why I'm against it. I won't fight until it comes to fight or die, but I will never suppport that bill as long as I can remember my father." Angel said quietly. "Well, lets go back and watch some more of that great depressing news!" he said with false cheer.

"Ok," she said, laughing and smiling up at him. "Sounds good to me!"
