Jaime waved a hand, as if trying to clear the air.
"Okay, lemme see if we've got this straight. On your world, they think metas who are born as metas are more dangerous than any other metas, even though there's no difference at all between them, and they're all just as dangerous, and are prejudiced against them. Furthermore, they've gone all Big Brother on the heroes because of an accident during a superfight where innocent people died, never mind that a villain was probably at least partly responsible, because let's face it, superheroes don't just go and blow stuff up unless they're fighting a bad guy--and also never mind that the superheroes of your world have probably saved everyone's lives a million times over (if your world is anything at all like our world)."
That was all said in one long, ranty breath, which was why afterwards, he had to suck in another breath.
He wen on, "No offence, and obviously your world can crank out some pretty cool people like yourself, so that's one mark in its favor, but otherwise, it sounds like your universe kinda sucks. I mean, we have our fair share of suck, but it's a little more...evenly distributed and less concentrated, and you usually know who to punch to stop it."

Another pause.
"You should go on strike. All the heroes."
