[The response comes several moments later, as Paige opts to be thorough.]
It's fine. I gather that a lot of people aren't from the same world that I am from.
Mutants are individuals that have evolved a step beyond humans. We possess an extra gene called the X-Gene that changes our genetic makeup and provides each of us with a preternatural special ability. Some mutants are able to turn invisible, others are able to fly, and others can read minds, or control the weather.
Mutant is not an insult. It's the name of a race of beings, like Human, or Bird. However if you called me a "Mutie", that would be a slur humans use to describe us and I would take offense.
