Taylor - Public Speaking

"Why should we believe you?" Officer Bennett demanded. "You come up with some kind of cock and bull story, when the simpler explanation is that you are one of those…. Things in disguise."

I pulled on my public speaking skill. I'd have to think about levelling it up; it was proving to be more useful by the day.

"You've seen those things… do any of them look remotely human? Do any of them talk?"

She frowned.

"I've been behind you in the dark the whole time," I said. "And I can cut things from a distance. I'm fast enough that you'd have a hard time hitting me, and I can climb walls. If I'd wanted you dead, I could have just done this."

I gestured, and pulled her gun from her hand with Mage Hand. Harry pointed his gun at me, but I was ready. I doubted that he was as skilled at shooting as she was.

I handed her gun back to her.

"So, you're a mutant?"

"A parahuman," I corrected her. "I copy powers."
