It isn't until later--years later, much later, past the awkward adolescent years--that he learns to control it. Oh he tries, certainly, but it's tenuous and stretched, too much like walking a half-mad tiger on a thin leash. It snaps sometimes (too often) and he wonders, guiltily, if he means to do it. Because he doesn't want to hurt anyone but sometimes--

God, sometimes he's just so very alone('Puberty,' he'll explain later to a sleepy-eyed scientist with a shy smile and opposable toes, 'is the bane of the untrained mutant
