Not really sure who has the power in here.

[ There's a few he knows but avoids for various reasons. ]

There's a shadow war going on. My father is missing, I'm lying to my mother and little brother to keep them safe, a lot of the Tomorrow People think I'm the chosen one, when I had no idea what I was until a couple months ago, and my uncle is the ringleader of the group hunting us, and I work for him. Compared to that? This place hasn't been so bad.

[Katniss is about to tell him that as of right now, the ones in power are the ones who call themselves Mundanes, but his story is much more intriguing than stating the obvious. She can relate to a lot of that, being coined the Mockingjay. The symbol of rebellion.

He certainly is right. So far, this place isn't bad compared to being in an arena fighting to the death. But it's the worst idea to lose your guard because of false comfort.

Nothing ever pans out well when someone controls what happens all around you.

Instead of giving away anything about herself right away, Katniss decides to direct the conversation towards him. Both out of curiosity and the hope he will keep talking smoothly without trouble, much like Peeta.]

Who are the Tomorrow People?

[ He's got other issues with the other 'pups' in this head here, it makes him worry less about his mundane.

After meeting The Founder, he'll take any break he can get, even if he wants to find his father. Needs to find his father. ]

We're people. A different kinds of human though, a new species. We have powers, called the three T's. Telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation.

[ Here it doesn't matter, he can talk. Somewhere else, he wouldn't. Being invisible keeps them alive. ]

My father was the leader but he disappeared years ago, and they found me when I broke out. There aren't very many of us, but more than most know.

[All any of that does is make Katniss think about the Capitol, the things they do to people. Muttations. People don't just come with powers after all... power is given, stolen or made.]

Did they make you that way?

[She would express that she's sorry about his father, but that is something for friends, and while he seems nice, they are complete strangers.]

Nope. Born this way, we all were. I inherited them from my father, but-

[ He shrugs. He still thinks of himself as human, even if he isn't. ]

It's just genetic.

[Katniss is surprised to hear that, but not very. Different worlds, she reminds herself. Different people, different rules.]

Oh. [That really is a weird concept to her. Power, inside of your own body. That's something only books talk about, and those books are pretty much impossible to get a hold of in a place like District 12. It's kind of a vague concept for her to grasp.]

There's nothing like that where I come from. Just Muttations.

I didn't know there was anything like this at home. I didn't know about my dad.

[ But he really wants him. Not just for the others, but he wants his dad. He's angry at Roger for lying to him, but mostly, he just wants his dad. ]

What are Muttations?

How did you find out about your Dad?

[A pause]

They're mixes of animals. [Katniss frowns a little bit, she can't help it. Even thinking about it is horrifying.]

Or people and animals.

He made a video, for John to show me when I broke out.

[ That probably won't make sense to her. So wait, let's try again. ]

John and my dad used to work together, for Ultra. My uncle still does. They left, Ultra wants them both dead. John gathered the others, some who knew my dad, he's kinda in charge, my dad's missing. But before he disappeared, he recorded a message for me. See, Dad knew Ultra was hunting him, so he made us move, changed our names. Hid us. But when I broke out, they'd be able to find me. So they waited.

[ That's okay, he makes a face too. ]

That-what? That's horrible.

[For the most part, this story just has her head swimming, but the confusion doesn't go very far. She may not know what half of this means, but once again, there are some parallels to her own experience and that is enough for her to understand without asking any more questions.

Finding things out by video, being in hiding, being wanted dead. Protecting people, all of it. Somehow it makes Katniss feel just a little bit more comfortable having such a deep conversation with a person whose name she doesn't even know.

The look on his face when she tells him about the Muttations helps too. That level of disgust says enough about who he is on the inside. If she were forced to pick allies in a place like this, he may be one of them.]

It's disgusting.

[There's a pause again.]

Our worlds don't sound so different, do they.

Ultra experiments on people, but I don't think they do things like that.

[ God he hopes not. Seriously. Oh god that's just.

He's going to try VERY HARD not to think about what else Ultra does that he 'doesn't have the stomach for'. ]

Maybe not. Hate for anyone to be stuck here, but if we are...I keep wondering if my father is going to show up.
