Being born a mutant was already hard for Edeline Eastley, but adding being a mutant onto her plate and she was basically hiding her entire life from the world.

No one could ever know that Edeline was different. Edeline wished she had never even told her mother about the powers she had discovered she had. But when you wake up one morning vomiting black metallic goo, your mother is bound to find out. Her mother believed she was possessed by a demon and immediately took her to a church instead of a hospital-like most parents would.

After being forced to sit through many exorcisms, Edeline just pretended to be "cured", knowing that her mother would never accept her. So at age 18, and after many attempts to get away from her mother, Edeline is approached by two men saying that they can help her control her powers. That may sound like a stupid thing to agree to, going with two strange men to a federal building she'd never heard of, but it was either that or go home to a mother who had thrown a bible at her more times than she could count.
