Your powers don't involve having something massive and obvious showing like a giant 'I'm a mutant' sign right on your forehead...or back, in my case. You don't have to demonstrate your differentness, you choose to. I don't get that option."
"You're wrong," Ashley replies. "Niall could remove your wings and even place them on someone who would truly appreciate them for the gift they are. With assistance, he could probably even remove access to your powers, if they were that much of a burden to you. Or you could put on your big boy pants, talk to Angel to find out what he uses to hide his wings when he's not flying around. Hell, Nightcrawler even gave Katrina a little device that projected a hologram to cover up her cracked, desert chic skin. There are solutions if you look for them. The solutions won't necessarily be perfect but it's like you're giving up before trying to search for answers. And don't forget we're all friends and we're really good at sticking our noses into each other's business. We won't stop until we find something that will help you." Ashely smiles for a moment, then says more soberly. "As for your powers, you will just have to learn to use them for good. Create kind of a Jedi Code. I don't think it will be easy. But you know what they say, nothing truly worth anything is ever easy. Or at least I think they say that. If they don't, they should. Because it makes sense."
