I was stopped dead by the sight of a man floating- FLOATING- in front of the bus depot!

"Thomas Scott, I am Magneto- The Master of Magnetism! My old friend Charles Xavier has invited you to New York to investigate your budding potential. I felt it fair to give you the option, however. Charles wishes to have you hide your gifts and serve those who would hate you for your amazing abilities. I will help you rise to greatness. I give you the chance to join me and secure the safety and prosperity of our people over the cattle who would do us harm. Should you refuse... know that I am dedicated to the safety of our species... and traitors will be punished severely."

After finishing his speech, this "Magneto" floated there staring at me. I could hardly form words. Back home, there was a giant fuss over Brandon James running faster than any boy in the state but THIS! Not ten minutes off the bus in New York and I'm already being approached by a FLOATING guy decked out in purple! I mean... what kind of response COULD I have?!
