Mia pondered what he was telling her. Of course what he was saying made sense. If someone was to attempt something like that there was no way they wouldn't try it twice, maybe even multiple times! Still the idea that someone else would be put through that was heartbreaking to her. Her first instinct was to hug him, the way Kal-El had when she found out that her family was gone. But she'd only just met this man and he might not be comfortable with that level of physical contact, so she restrained herself thoughtfully.

Before she knew it he was asking about her own crest. With relief she folded her legs underneath her body. "I used to be a normal girl you know. Well, I thought I was normal anyway. What I mean is; I didn't know I was a daxamite until after all of this happened" she waved her hands around her body in an exaggerated manner. "But I got in a car crash on my first road trip with my friends and while I was in the hospital someone found out what I really was and when I came out of the coma-- oh yeah I was in a coma after the crash sorry-- anyway after I woke up they took me to their facility where they added Kal-El's DNA to mine and jump started my powers with a focused charge of solar radiation and 'woosh' here I am". She grinned sheepishly and finally added "Didn't work out too well for them though. I kind of shot out of the compound like a bullet and careened all the way to new york where Spiderman helped me crash land in a river."
