Ana hid her worry during the presentation as she slid her arm through Gabriel's. What was that sick man planning to do with that? She felt an uncomfortable tingling in her fingers. Reflexively she looked at Cam and they locked eye. She let him see her worry, glancing at the box.

"And now finally ladies and gentlemen this device will keep any civilian safe, it emits an energy that should drain the power straight from these mutants bodies leaving them sick and weak. Then they can be fixed, it is my hope every innocent will have one in their pockets and we will defeat these tyrants, I present kryptonite," with that the heavy box lid was raised and a dozen wired green stones encased in a protective metal sheath the ones out of their case emitted a soft green light. And as the crowd rose in applause, Cam instantly felt the sickness.

Ana clapped slowly, body dragging. Sickness was a good word because she did not feel good. She felt the way regular people felt after a bad fever, ravaged and weak. Even just standing was almost more effort than she could put in and it felt hard to breath. She just wanted to sit down. Her game face came on automatically, a vaguely pleasant look that told people nothing. Veruka looked up and over at Cam as her father kept speaking and she saw the effects as they settled over him. "Shit," she breathed so softly no one else would hear.

Luckily everyone's attention was on the presentation. Can did his best to not make it obvious but it had an extreme reaction with him and they weren't really even that close. The superman had to get out of there but he had to make it discreet, he gave the look to Veruka.

She saw it and nodded. "Is it okay if we go?" she asked at normal volume.

With their sudden departure, her family was confused. Having not seen Cameron's adverse reaction to the kryptonite her father wasn't exactly sure what to think. But now he had a reason to dislike this boy dating his daughter, and his suspicions were raised. Once he was out of the house and in the fresh air, Cam finally started to feel better. It was the strangest thing he had ever experienced, this was bad.

"So it actually worked?" Veruka asked when they were alone.

"Too well," Cameron agreed gathering himself, "what is the matter with them why do they think this is a good idea?" He questioned to her and himself somewhat frustrated what were they going to do?

"People get scared by things they don't understand, especially when there is little to nothing an ordinary person can do against it."

He wanted to snap, but had to hold back, to compose himself. The crushing pain that had been compressing his best had finally passed. He could feel power returning like a nuclear generator being brought back on. "Your father, he is not a good person, do you see this?"

She looked at him quizzically. She missed the connection. "He's not a bad person..."

"You're right, he's not bad, he's evil, he is a villain, he needs to be stopped," Camron corrected her.

She rocked back on her heels with a big frown. "Excuse me?" she snapped. "That's my father you're talking about! The man who raised me and has never been anything but loving and supportive."

"I realize this, and it is why I have sparred telling you up until this time," Camron explained. "I'm not looking to fight with you too, but I feel you deserve to know."

"Know what?" she demanded. "He hasn't done anything explicitly wrong."
