Yeah. Sort of. My parents almost sold me out. My kind, they're... pretty much entertainment. They would've gotten paid a lot had I not ran away.

I barely dodged the worst of it. I didn't get processed, but I was shoved into the military instead. I was... tested a lot. Trying to see how far I could push my powers and what my breaking point was.
I'm not in a position to do anything about it or be able to do anything. Some people want me to go back and do the right thing but I just want to stay the hell away from my place.

We're called Grisha in my world. Though powered humans is fairly accurate, too.
no subject
Uh, let's see... so there's powered humans for me, along with mutants, benders, mages, and now Grisha?
That is a lot of power.
no subject
More than we ever had at home.
no subject
So how'd they treat you guys?
[Because so far it's been either they exist and are accepted or are hated, but nothing quite so brutal as what she knows.]
no subject
It varies from country to country.
But generally? People fear us at best. They torture and murder us at worse.
no subject
So you know what it's like then.
no subject
Your world isn't any better?
no subject
Nope. idk if worse but, the same.
no subject
Then I guess we do understand each other.
no subject
Nice to know my place isn't the only place that's terrifically fucked up.
no subject
Maybe in different ways, but similarly so.
Did you ever suffer any of it?
no subject
Yeah. Sort of. My parents almost sold me out. My kind, they're... pretty much entertainment. They would've gotten paid a lot had I not ran away.

I'm sorry to hear that. I never had it as bad as others I knew. I was luckier. Still, I don't like to hear it happening to anyone.

I've always wanted to fix it in my world.
no subject
You're a better person than I am.
no subject
No. I tried to deny I was even Grisha. I didn't want to be Grisha.
no subject
Yeah well you and me both.
no subject
Do you still feel the same now?
no subject
I'm not in a position to do anything about it or be able to do anything. Some people want me to go back and do the right thing but I just want to stay the hell away from my place.
no subject
There's nothing wrong with that feeling. I've felt it often. Still do sometimes.
no subject
We'll cross that bridge when we get there I guess.
