"That's the important thing. Trying to do the best for everyone." That would help. Although, with the mutants and inhumans and alien species, not to mention chimps and dolphins... humans really had no reason to believe in their own inherent superiority in the 616. Not since, oh, '65 or so.
"Useful magic. Thank you." Ver considers the coins again; she'll set the five-bit piece on the table and pocket the other. "We'll leave this for the waiter as part of their tip," she offers by way of explanation. "To thank them for getting our food so quick. Not having dragons snack on the magic coins probably saves everyone a lot of headaches. And some tummy aches."
"That's true. But gold has some inherent value. Ours was paper." The food is quite good, and Trixie can eat it however she wants. Ver had been half expecting magic to be involved. She starts with the fries, separating them into roughly equal piles and sliding hers onto her plate. Anyone whose looks linger too long or get too cruel gets a look back from Ver. She gives good looks, unless you piss her off--then they can get mean.
