"The best way to show the Brotherhood what you can do is to join the X-Men and help them defeat the Brotherhood. If the Brotherhood calls you weak, or thinks you are, prove them wrong and defeat them."
He said smirking. He himself thought it was a good plan. It worked for him and he proved them wrong. And made many friends in the process.

She sniffed a little and shook her head. "No. Not the Brotherhood." She lifted her head, but stared at the ground. Her thoughts were on her parents who had never loved her. Or if they did, they never showed it

"Something tells me this is much deeper than you try to let on."
He said nodding his head. He had to get her to talk. But he of course knew it wouldn't be easy.
"So go ahead, spill it. Remember, I'm an impartial listener."

She looked at him. She didn't want to spill her life story to him, but it seemed like she could trust him no matter what for some reason. She closed her eyes and looked away. She turned a deep blue as her sad thoughts effected her color. She took a deep, shaky breath and opened her mouth to speak, then shook her head. She couldn't do it.

"C'mon. You know my beginning with the Brotherhood. I mean sure it was in another universe, but basically the Brotherhood is always bad."
He said shrugging. This would be tough, but he had to get her to open up. That was the best way to help her.
"You can tell me. I swear, it dies with me."

She sniffed a little and looked at him. "My parents....." Her voice was quiet, but the two words held worlds of pain. The blue deepened as she spoke, almost becoming a depressed black. It was quiet at first, but she slowly started telling him what her parents had done to her when she was young.

"Wow, that's rough. And I know it's rough for mutants, even worse for those with physical mutations."
He said sighing and nodding his head.
"But the Brotherhood isn;t the best way to handle it. I know it looks great when you're angry at the world. But all they'll do is use you. And when they get bored with you or you're no longer of use, they'll get rid of you."

She looked at him, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I promised myself I'd never betray anyone the way they betrayed me. Now I'm stuck. If I leave..... I'll be just like them." She closed her eyes as she turned a deep black. She'd told him everything.

"No, you're not like them. They did it out of fear and ignorance. You're leaving for your own safety and because it's the right thing to do."
He said nodding his head. She stuck to her word, he respected that. Not many people seemed to have that trait anymore, especially among the brotherhood. She was indeed rare.

She shook her head a little. "I don't know what's right and wrong anymore. Everything's such a mess. I don't know who to believe anymore." She looked at him, shaking a little.

"Listen to me Draco. You're not alone in this."
He said smiling. He mimiced her chameleon skin ability and changed a yellow. He nodded his head and crossed his arms.
"Everyone feels confused, trust me. I've been in your shoes before."

She looked at him as he turned yellow. She got to her feet, surprised. "How...... how did you do that? I've never seen anyone else do that." She sniffed him a little.

"My codename is Mimic. I can Mimic up to 5 powers at once. Of course it's only half power."
He said shrugging. He smiled a bit and continued to slowly turn shades eventually stopping at blue.
"Hmm, I've always liked blue and yellow. Anyways, that's why I can do all I can. But how do you think I feel? I mean my power is other people's powers. Even among mutants I'm odd. Yet Xavier's accepted me despite my powers and my past."

She sat down and watched as he changed. "I'm pretty sure I can do more than one colors, but nobody can teach me." She sighed a little. "I guess I'm destined to be a lowly Epsilon my whole life." She looked down.

"I don't believe that one bit. I'd say you're at least Gamma. And that's a minimum. I mean think about it, I get your power at half and I have no problem changing colors."
He said smiling.
"I've been thinking about finding Xavier's. If I make my way there maybe I can teach you."
