[/nods] Though it may seem like ‘tis the opposite, I sometimes feel as if you Midgardians underestimate us..

We’re not used to you. [pauses to look her over] You look like us- well. Most of us. Humans don’t expect abilities that they don’t have in people that look similar to ‘em. And us mutants? [pauses again] … We’re not used to dealing with things more powerful than ourselves, I guess. 

You mistake me - I do not suggest that we are more powerful. [/pauses to think] Well, definitely Thor, and perhaps Loki. Surely not me. But some treat us as if we are no consequence at all. That could very easily prove to be a folly, should events occur where we are not on the same side. [/shakes her head, thinking of Loki and Thor and the troubles they could easily fall into] 

Oh, that happens all the time. Doesn’t matter between who. Humans discredit humans all the time. Never works out well for them. What is it they say? “Know thine enemy”, or something.
