Pre-service: Shatterstar, anti-mutant protesters, and Erik
Shatterstar turned to survey the man who answered him, and considered his words seriously. He spoke more clearly than many Shatterstar had spoken to so far in this place: many used 'slang' phrases that did not mean what they appeared to mean, or else spoke to him using very simple words and constant pauses as though not understanding their nonsensical 'slang' meant that he was stupid. It was good to speak with someone who did neither.
He gestured at the sign held by the woman again. "This message is a lie?" he asked. "Do you know this God as well? Is he the creator of these mutants and their leader, Charles Xavier? Did he also create the humans who are gathered here?"
Sometimes it seemed all he did in this place was ask questions. It was a very strange and often incomprehensible place, this world.
