( So he was gifted. Maria couldn't deny that that would help - he already understood what it was like, and if he was providing help he likely had control over his own gift. Maybe that was key - how else could you properly help, or get the necessary trust )
I'm not looking for help. I'm just human.
( There's a small smile at that. Just human, but highly trained. Enough that she can (sometimes) hold her own against someone with powers - depending on the power. Does she wish it was different? No. Not consciously, anyway. There might be times when not having a power gives her a disadvantage but she's happy as herself. And she's seen the other side of it - Steve's assumed obligation because of what he's been given, or destruction from a lack of control. It feels simpler to be as she is )
But I was interested in knowing how people we helped. I don't know what the abilities of people here are, and I'm not asking for that. Just - hypothetically, if something special was needed. What could you do?
( Her first thought from her previous conversation is regarding 'people that bite', although she doesn't know if Remus was being truthful about that or just trying to lighten his announcement. He'd mentioned artificial limbs and working with medical but it didn't give any clear indications of what could be done. Minus the safe place for protecting people )
