...Before? I could always control it. Well...right after it appeared. Stands are like that, I think. Even if you're surprised by them, you learn to innately use it the way it should be used.
Stands can be passed down in families, but its especially rare. The most common way I've heard is through experiencing a phenomenon. A "miracle", you would say. There's a place in the desert where people can die, but those who survive...well.
[She shakes her head.]
To have a child deal with abilities they can't control...what difficult a thing that must be.
But they're up to just as much shady shit as they are helpful stuff, so it's kind of a gamble. You might get the help you need or depending on how interesting they think your ability is, you might get locked up and experimented on.
...Anyways, it doesn't matter. People in power, trying to use things, control things, to get more power? That's horrific, no matter what world you're in.
There was a man who boasted about things like that. About making everything great, better...but he was willing to sacrifice everything to get what he wanted. And what he wanted was power. It was despicable.

No miracles or anything, but sometimes it's genetic. Other times seems totally random.

So.

[That's...]
Experimented? Why would...those are children.
no subject
And what kind of government agency wouldn't want to look into ways to create and weaponize that kind of power?
no subject
[Something about that last statement, especially, makes her face harden.]
Horrid. To think of something like that to be used just for one's own gain is...arrogant. More than that. I can't even find the word for that.

Mm. No matter how much good they do for most people, can't ignore what they do to the rest.

All that talk about helping people doesn't hide that what she really wants is just power.

You said that this AM collects children with powers. Do you work there?
no subject
Also it's not just children. Age isn't the important part, the ability is the important part.
no subject
Does this Wadsworth of yours want to use them as their personal army, then?
no subject
[ creating abilities in soldiers who don't have any, maybe. haha!
... and even if she doesn't pry he is so offended about this. ]
Why the hell would I ever work for them?
