@theimpalpable didn’t ask for this but, oh well--

“Look, I don’t have time to explain so I’m just going to prove my point!”

Chris didn’t miss a beat. In half a second he had already crossed the distance between him and the one person he had just decided would be his new friend, none other than Caradoc Collins.

But this action was more than just a simple way to close the distance; it was also an invasion of Doc’s personal space, along with the swift attack of someone who had been trained to fight since birth, flying through the air and reaching out for the older mutant’s neck, the only exposed skin he could find.

Chris, however, didn’t squeeze or dare try to choke him. Quite the contrary, actually. His hand simply laid there, over Caradoc’s skin, warm to the touch, soft even. But other than that, nothing else happened.

And that was kind of the point. Chris’ own mutation made him immune to Doc’s power. They were close, they were in contact, and yet nothing happened.
