[On her part, Phantom Girl sounds vaguely subdued for once.]
...I'm sorry.
[It was evident he was speaking from personal experience of some sort or another. Combined with his attitude, his disdain, his pride... voila. It wasn't too hard to guess where he was coming from. Phantom Girl sighs softly.]
I know it isn't fair for me to talk about your world, but... I don't think they really hate you. They're just... afraid. Everyone - human, Bgztlian, probably even mutants - it's fear of the things we don't understand that drives us to our worst. You... maybe you just see the ones who fear what you stand for the most. The soldiers and the media or whatever it is you're fighting against.
...It was like that for us, too, before. They were afraid. I mean, to some extent, there are still Earthlings who think we're freaks. But do you know what Earth kids usually say to us now?
They wish they could be like us... They want to grow up to be superheroes. Maybe your world is on the brink of change. Even now -- I bet there are little kids who think you're the coolest things ever.
