After walking in silence for a bit, she looks down at her hands, fingers flexing against the material of her gloves as she speaks, quieter now than before. "It still feels so weird being here, you know?"

She nods, remembering her first time to the city. "They're used to us. Metas. We're not automatically abominations here." She sighs and looks up at the sky instead, remembeirng. "People actually accept us here. We're able to remember we're people."

Her voice cracks a little with her laugh. "I actually have friends here. If they know about my power, they don't care. They know I'm careful. And those who don't still know not to touch me and respect that. I'm not asked 'why' a million times by the same person, or poked and prodded by specialists. None of it. I'm almost normal here." Almost. She supposed metas could never be fully normalized,not everywhere, but it was a nice dream.

The blush returns for a moment and looks back up to the sky, wrapping on arm around her torso, hand holding the sleeve of her shirt. "Maybe, but we'd all be different if we had a different type of power. Right?"

I wouldn't be me if I had no power. Or if I could fly away from everything rather than stand my ground." He shrugged. "But I like who I am. And I like who you are."

She nods, trying to ignore the awkwardness of her comment since she means it. Of all her friends, Mike is the most grounded, which means a lot to her some days. "Thanks, Mike." She sighs. "Flying away from the problems would probably just mean they catch us eventually, anyway. But it's a nice dream sometimes."
