Noriko was at work--a fairly nondescript coffeeshop in the city--and while it had mostly been safe among the ever-turbulent tide of anti-mutant sentiment, this afternoon was apparently when her luck decided to run out. Normally she didn't use her powers openly while there, though the gauntlets she wore weren't exactly un-noticeable. But someone had asked her to light the candles that lit the reading area, and she'd done so as easily as she could, via a little spark of electricity between her fingertips.

The following shouts about her being a mutant were getting louder as she backed up against the nearest wall.

Not that he'd particularly see it--or that Noriko could particularly control it with the way her heart is thrumming like a jackrabbit's at the moment--but the lights flickering overhead only added credibility to the way that growl landed, and the crowd began to break up and drift out at the sight of the man in the red and black armor.

"Thank you," she murmured, still on high alert, but slowly working her way back to behind the counter where she could at least duck behind something solid. "You, uh...you're cool with us?"

Sure, there were subtler ways of asking someone if they hated mutants or not, but she really didn't want to risk getting the wrong answer the hard way.
