The Value of Mutant Blood Transfusions

When the sun swallowed the solar system whole, old constructs were shattered. No longer were there cliques, electricians, engineers, janitors. There were only mutants and those who depended on mutant blood for their daily survival. The liquid power of mutant blood was supreme, and new power structures grew around this undeniable truth. The majority of Maya's life was spent as a mutant, a freak survivor of the solar upheaval that saturated every living creature in massive radioactivity when she was a child. As a mutant she held the power of life over all around her but, as a child, she didn't understand that power. Other mutants did understand the power that coursed through their arteries and, like people have always done, abused the power they held to serve only themselves. Inevitably, Maya is caught in their ever expanding drift to power. But as they drift, so others drift against them. Including Maya.
