It was my birthday on the first.

I think.

[That's it. That's all he has to say.

He doesn't even look that excited.]

[He remains in video. Texting is hard.]

My passport says it's September first. But it's forged.

[friendofdorothy]

So you don't know. It's probably not your real birthday then.

[the_prodigal_son]

The man who made it is dead now. So is the woman that made me, I think. They'd know when I was born.

[friendofdorothy]

Are there no records to search?

[the_prodigal_son]

No. I wasn't... Supposed to exist.

[friendofdorothy]

Are any of us? More than just the question of whether there's a divine plan, mutants are very seldom wanted. Or do you mean in a way different from most of us?

[the_prodigal_son]

....It's different.

I really wasn't supposed to exist... If I didn't...

[He grimaces.]

I was made to kill my father.

[friendofdorothy]

Oh.

[Nice job, jerk]

Why would someone go to such lengths to kill him?

[the_prodigal_son]

I'm the only one who could.
