(phone, May 20th morning)

 [The memory that had returned to so many of them had shaken Laura something fierce; it was familiar, familiar in ways that were beyond what her hospital phobia amounted to, and now - now she's found herself brave enough to cut into her leg and find the tracker hidden inside. Of course, she'd been excited to remove it (and angry, of course, angry that it was even there), but that new energy was soured by waking the next morning and finding that same lump under her skin. 

Well. She cuts it out again in the bathroom of the Howlett family, destroys the tracker again, and heads to the phone with icy disgust and offense that far surpasses self-preservation. (Especially when they go also arresting her teacher recently, she really likes her goddamn art class - and her sister, too, though?! Really guys?)]


There are trackers in our legs.

They come back in the morning if you destroy them.

Or maybe you have just never gotten one before.

[She's trying not to sound condescending because she hated being talked down to as a kid.]

...

[What?]

You heal. Well, yeah, everyone does. Usually.

[Clearly she's missing the point.]

What do you mean you heal fast?

[Sure kids in general tend to bounce back faster than adults, but Skye knew that's not what she meant.]

A mutant?

[What the hell was a mutant? Definitely not something she's heard of before.]

You heal fast because you're a mutant?

[Does she realize how weird that sounds? Skye knew kids could have a crazy imagination but this was a whole new level.]
