They lifted their jacket over their head, and let it drop to the floor. This removed the makeup that coated their face and allowed the other people in the room to see the scales that they had been covered with since the age of twelve. To their surprise nobody was shocked.

'You aren't scared of me?'

'(Name). You just saw what I looked like blue; and none of us were scared. Your reptilian skin isn't going to freak me, or anybody else in this room, out.'

Hearing this (Name) immediately perked up.

'Good. So this means that I can show you the rest of my abilities and you won't freak out to much.'

Raven nodded.

They bent down and pulled off their shoes, and ran at the closest wall. As they reached it they jumped and their feet suctioned onto the material below. Satisfied with their success they began to walk up the wall and into the middle of the room.

Hearing (Name)'s footsteps above his head Hank glanced up at them. Laughing (Name) reached down and pushed his glasses back up his nose.

'(Name). That was amazing!'

(Name) back-flipped off the roof and collapsed back onto their space on the couch, only to immediately blend into it. This was partly a mechanism to get out of the spotlight, and partly so that nobody could see their slightly embarrassed reaction to Hank's statement.

More shouts came from the group of exuberant young adults and (Name) glanced down at their hands.

'Well, that's new.'

Author's Note: We stan one (1) idiot mutant with self esteem issues so blinding they forget everyone else in the room with them either looks different/has powers that don't fit with society's norms!!!
