(After a CGI sequence showing the inner workings of Angel's genetics)
Jake: Daddy what are those things inside Angel?
Me: Oh, those are his genes.
Brady: Those things what has legs on them?
Me: ...yeah. Well, they aren't legs. That's a picture of what's inside Angel's body. It's his mutant genes. The stuff that makes him a mutant.
Jake: So that's his wings?
Me: Sort of. It's something we all have in our body that determines what we will look like, and kind of who we will be. Angel's gene's made him have wings.
Brady: Are we gonna have wings?!?
Jake: I want claws!
Me: No you're not mutants...and really there is no such thing as mutants, at least like on TV. You aren't going to fly or grow claws.
Jake: But, we can still be strong.
Brady: Yeah we can do like this. (Punching the air) And this.(Kicking the air)
Me: Yes, you boys are super strong. Your gene's made you who you are. They made you both fast and strong and brave and smart. You are my superheroes.
At this point that looked at each other and took off running upstairs and down and all around the house, fighting invisible bad guys. They have been in a running battle for the last 30 minutes. Gotta love their imagination and stamina. Must be in the genes.
