My Monster and Me...

[bigsoftie]

Who: Leatherhead and Whomever
What: A gator's on the loose and no pizza place can hold him
Where: On the outskirts of the new town
When: Mid day

He didn't care for this new change. In fact, his first instinct was to hide. It had been so long since he went without this for and now...now it was back. And just like that all the old insecurities rose up. Would they accept him? Or did they only accept him on the merit of being human? And what's more, did this just mean they'd go back to casting him out or worse?

Well, don't worry. He'll reject himself you don't need to worry about that. The alligator had already abandoned Duke and Roadbuster. For a big guy he managed to give them the slip pretty well. Guess it was back to being on his own at least until this change went away.

The mutant liked it much better than in the city, really. A lot more grass, actually. And actual flowers. He liked those. The mutant could get used to this for awhile. Soon enough the mutant began wandering the area of the outskirts, enjoying the flowers of every hue and size. Yeah, if only Mikey could find him..

Yeah, of course I do. Earth si a huge place, I'm sure that there's somewhere there for you. And hey, not all humans are bad, back home the guys and I have a human friend and she accepted us full-heartedly. So don't worry Leatherhead, things will work one one way or another.

[bigsoftie]

...really?

They did not fear you...or try to hurt you...?

[brain_behind_purple]

No... well okay she screamed at first, but when she saw that we were the good guys and were trying to help her, she accepted us. I won;t lie, there are bad humans, we've encountered a good few... but they're mean to everyone, not just mutants.

[He wondered if Mikey ever even told Leatherhead about the Foot Clan, or Blixter Spackfin, or any other jerk they've met.]

But there's always that one person who will accept you no matter who ro what you are. You just have to find them, is all.

[bigsoftie]

Yes...many seem to be afraid...or cruel. I do not trust them.

[The only instance of a bad human he met was the afro one that disturbed his sleep.]

That person is Michelangelo...and my family.
