A teenage girl about seventeen quietly walks down the streets of Manhattan and pops a strawberry sucker in her mouth. She is five foot eleven and wearing a black corset top with long, albeit thin sleeves. Her blue jeans are torn and she has on knee high zip up black leather boots. Her dark purple, natural color since her mutation kicked in, is in a ponytail and under a ball cap for the Yankees.

She crosses the street once the signal says she can and she then looks around. "Food...food...food...I am so hungry." Suddenly she hears a scream and her green eyes, which are behind purple heart-shaped sunglasses, look towards the direction of the scream. She touches her left temple and closes her eyes before sighing "Honestly, a gang of thugs and one woman? How cliche is that?" She races off towards the disturbance to help out.

Once there she gulps and tosses one of thugs into a dumpster with her mind. She jumps between the woman and thugs with telekinesis and says "I'll help you miss. These road are easy pickings for me..." The girl gets confused when she hears laughter and looks behind her. It's the woman laughing and she says "Caught ourselves another ladies and germs!" Suddenly about ten other people show up, and everyone draws a weapon and pulls on a mask.

The girl, sighs as she rolls her eyes "Typical. You try to help someone." Her name is Lisa Hayden. She is a seventeen year old mutant with telepathic and telekinetic abilities. All she wanted was to find a warm meal and then get home before it got dark. But instead she wound up with mutant killers.

Easy pickings, right?
