See, Charles, I can coexist with humans.
RAVEN:
You were already hurt. You shouldn't have been fighting, your leg probably slowed you down.

Times like this, I kind of wish we hadn't blown the the damn acid fog.
Hullo, dear, how was your day? I was nearly eaten by a were-coyote, and I nearly asked Erik to make himself a crown so that we might crown him Drama Queen. I might still do the latter.
You're in distress. What's wrong?
How are you feeling?
We started a conversation, once upon a time. Would you care to finish it?
Good God I need a drink.
Erik, you were with Adaar Friday night, right? How'd that go? Charles and I waited up, but I must have fallen asleep before you got back.
I'm not sure what to make of the election yet. There was a mutant as president at home and it didn't do us much good, so... I don't know.
Can I think we've all made up now? No one's told me anything and I didn't want to pry.

Hello, Wanda. Erik mentioned you the other day. I'm Raven.
( italics = russian. roll with it, people. )
Hello.
Well, this won't be awkward at all.
I didn't say as much when I got here because I don't normally need to, but now I have to ask for something to wear if I go outdoors. Do you have to custom-make everything, or is there some kind of community stockpile?
I forgot our room mate is some kind of empath or psychic, and her friend really doesn't seem to like you. If we plan on having sex again, we need a different spot.
Is our apartment going to have a problem? If you and Erik can't get along, I can ask that we be moved. I don't want him starting any fights.

We have a problem.
The man who came in tonight is named Magneto. He's a pro-mutant revolutionary, and he isn't going to like waking up in a hospital. He can also control metal, which your little fortress here is mostly made out of. If he wakes up unrestrained, he'll think he's being experimented on or he's been captured, and he may turn you into wall decorations before you have time to explain yourselves.
You should lock him up. The last time we saw each other, he tried to murder President Nixon and his Cabinet to make a statement. He had reasons -- good reasons -- but he believes our kind and yours are already at war, not that provoking you will start one. But I don't know where to put him, unless you have a plastic prison somewhere handy, and you can't just let him wander around outside to leave him to himself. If you can contain him or convince him to stay, let him stay in my apartment; we're from the same place. He's my responsibility.
I've been looking around this place and seen some people who don't look human. If some of you are there when he wakes up, he may not panic. If you have any non-humans with some actual authority around here, you need to get that person to talk to him. If you don't earn Erik's respect, he'll just pry his way out of here and there won't be a thing you can do about it.
