The Beta & His Bossy Friend

"Powers aren't all cool, they're responsibilities too," Madeline reasoned.

And she was right. 

Powers weren't just cool. Heck, some people found them to be burdens at times. 

Sometimes, they wanted to be regular people who got to enjoy a regular life that didn't include having the ability to, say, blast through things, or finish a book in a matter of seconds, or crush a car with their bare hands. 

Some people that were given powers never wanted them. Madeline was unsure why the first thing she thought when she got powers was how they could become burdens in the future and might turn into responsibilities.

Frankly, she thought she would have thought them cool and showed them off to everyone else. Not slowly revealing herself to have powers to Briar this way.

"I'll tell Indiana once she wakes up," Madeline decided. 

Briar nodded, "Alright."

"And what does Xavier think about this?"
