The girl pushed her platinum blonde hair from her face as she stared out at the deep spacial image before her. Her bright blue eyes wide with surprise then closed with the reality of her situation. It almost seemed like a dream to her, a nightmare even. The young mutant knew it was real, she could feel it weighing down on her like nothing else. The sound of his voice did alarm her a little but not totally by surprise. She had known someone else was there, but didn't really focus on who or what it was until now. Turning she stood and looked at the alien man. Uatu. The Watcher.<em> Watcher of what?</em><br/><br/><strong> Hello. I am... Effigy.</strong><br/><br/>She was Effigy. Whoever she was before was gone. She knew she had excelled beyond the normal spectrum of what she was in her previous life. Effigy was all she was now. The girl before had died with her family and friends. The weight of that realization was never so apparent in anyone as it was right then. She could not hide her emotions as her mother may have been able to. The young seventeen year old didn't have the experience or practice, or even want to hide anything from anyone. There was nothing to lose. Nothing left but this big spanse of space before her. Her life was never going to be the same, no matter what she did or said.
