"I know so," Erik said smoothly, his smile radiating reassurance. She was a young woman who needed to be reassured, of course.

Monet thought about it as she sipped her drink. Shifting the subject slightly, she said, "I'm afraid, after the coverage of that riot that they're going to turn me into some kind of mutant rights poster girl."

Erik shook his head slightly. "I doubt that would happen," He told her. "There were so many other mutants there, were there not? Your actions are lost amongst the crowd."

Monet raised her eyebrows and sipped her drink again. "Not many celebrities in the crowd. All the entertainment news shows had a field day."

"I was unaware you were a celebrity," He said, with an air of mild surprise. In fact he had guessed as much, but had never heard of her. "More's the pity for such unwanted attention."

Monet looked away briefly. She wasn't used to not being recognized and it was actually kind of refreshing. "My father is an ambassador, he's not happy about all of this."

"Ah," Erik said, with an air of surprised sympathy. "That is quite unfortunate. What does he think of your status as a mutant?"

"It didn't bother him until the riot." Monet sighed heavily, thinking about the change in tone that had occurred in the conversations with her father. "As long as I did as I was told, I think having a minority as a daughter helped his career."

"It always does," Erik said sympathetically. "Unless it could hurt it, and then the children are hidden. Are you familiar with Warren Worthington III, of Worthington Labs?" He inquired. That had been an interesting sequence of events.
"He was a mutant, and his father, the head of the corporation, tried to hush that up for a number of years. But when they invented a so-called 'cure' for mutation, he put his son first in line, to be an example."

Monet thought the name sounded familiar, but she attributed that to the fact that Worthington Labs had been such a hot topic when they developed the cure. She listened intently, frowning. "What happened to him?" she asked.

"His son defied him and left, until his father came to his senses. Because there is no cure for how nature intended you," He said, taking on a philosophical air.

Monet smiled despite herself at hearing that the son had defied the father. She nodded in agreement with the statement about their nature. She didn't have the same passionate opinion about it as some, but her recent annoyances and stress were enough to make her start thinking about it more. She looked around, knowing she was ill informed on the subject. "So, what are you doing now? I mean, aren't you still public enemy number one?"

Erik shrugged slightly, smiling. "I wouldn't say I'm public enemy number one, but I'm still quite the pain in their behind," He admitted. "But that is because they are still clinging to old hatred and prejudices."

Monet made a face. She finished her drink and raised an eyebrow. "Is it solely their prejudices, or are you still actively causing problems for them?"

Erik shrugged. "My Dear, it is always at least partly their prejudices. But I cannot deny that I am working towards mutant equality."
