Re: Port Vega: Academy - Sadie's arrival (Sadie, enter Del, OPEN)

(Del) ? Del frowned in thought at the name.? "We've heard that name before.? Like a lot of these quasi-government groups, it's hard to know how much is real and how much is just stuff they want people to think." ? "As for making trouble for us though," Del waved the thought away with a dismissive gesture, "we've been in trouble since we were born.? And we're stronger together than we are all on our own." ? "You must be tired," she went on, looking sympathetic.? "I can give you a temporary room, just for tonight.? We can find you something permanent tomorrow." She led the newcomer down a hallway.? "Do you prefer a room to yourself, or would you like a roommate? We have a few students who aren't currently paired up with anyone.? It's up to you." ? "Also, just out of curiosity," Del went on, "why did your parents disown you? Was it the whole mutant thing, or was it something else?"
(Sadie)
Sadie shrugged. She was normally reserved and even introverted, but she wanted to fit in here so she nodded, "I don't mind rooming with someone."
Then she took in a sharp breath and continued, "I'm sorry. I lied. My folks didn't disown me. I left them. I caused so much trouble for them. Gray and his goons, they tormented my parents to get at me. My father was framed for tax evasion and he's in prison. My mom lost the family business because of me. They would have done anything for me, but I couldn't let them continue to suffer because of me...so I ran away." So many mutants had been disowned by their families, so she thought it sounded better than the reality that she ran away leaving her parents with their lives in shambles because of her. But it was the truth...her truth...and she needed to own it. "Crazy, huh?" she frowned.
