Jumping onto this opportunity, I ask, "What is a Catalyst, and why am I so important?"
"A Catalyst is both historically significant and insignificant in many ways—" Marcus starts.
"I don't want the history. What exactly is a Catalyst?"
He sighs. "Catalysts are mixed-blood supernaturals."
"That's not special. Half-breeds exist all over."
"Those are bred with humans, not each other." Mild distaste crosses his face; while half-breed supernaturals aren't hard to find, they don't assimilate well in either aspect of their identities. At least, that's what the general consensus is. "And it's highly likely you aren't human at all. At least not in the traditional sense. What do you know about your parents?"
I shake my head. "Not much." Just the few memories of my mother I've kept with me, but I'm not going into those unless I have to.
"I discovered you were adopted as a child."
I shrug. "That was never a secret."
