Baby!Glam lands in Miracle

Why did her stupid father want to bring her today to the bank. What does he get out of this. She doesn't understand. And she knows she has to keep in mind how she's "not a girl" because if she's a girl she'll turn into one and then he'll know about her power and he must not know. So she's quietly chanting how not-a-girl she is in her mind, which quite helps drown out Professor Haywire's deranged demands.

Not that that isn't worrying. He's threatening to send hostages to another Earth, and he has demonstrated being quite capable of that. It's a particularly effective threat, Sadde muses when she's not being very annoyed at being in this situation and not being able to do anything about it, since unlike killing someone, it's reversible—with his cooperation. It's like killing someone and being the only one who can bring them back.

She's in the middle of wondering why on Earth Professor Haywire decided to come to New York of all places when something goes wrong—she doesn't quite know what—and there's a bright flash, the crackling sound of electricity, and she's not in the bank anymore.

She then tries the blood taken from Sadde's male body.

That sample doesn't disappear under examination.

"Hmm, no infection." Jeanette had sent a couple of her bodies to go examine the male blood. "So you're not faking baseline."

Permalink

"I'm not. I'm a parahuman, not a Miracle."

Permalink

"And your female blood samples appear to have been somewhat illusionary."

Permalink

"Why?—did they disappear? My power doesn't like squinting."

Permalink

"That they did."

Permalink

"Oh. That's weird but I guess it makes sense."

Permalink

"Still, your lack of the virus does lend credence to your claims of otherworldliness."

Permalink

"Yeah. Your world is weird."

Permalink

"What makes you think that?" says a Jeanette entering the room. 

Permalink

"Iunno. Lots of kids with powers. Mermaids. America doesn't exist anymore."

Permalink

"Most places don't exist anymore. The nation states, I mean. America isn't the New Atlantis or anything. And powers come later in your world?"

"I'm the youngest parahuman I know."

Permalink

"You're middle of the range here."

Permalink

"Yeah, they told me. The next youngest parahuman I know I think was like thirteen?"

Permalink

"That'd probably be too old to even Manifest here."

Permalink

"Yeah. Weird."

Permalink

"Any other differences you've noticed?"

Permalink

"No giant monsters destroying everything, you need a virus to get powers, you don't need to be traumatized to get powers, they have existed for much longer, no glowing man made of gold who never sleeps and is always saving cities or cats..."

Permalink

"So you're not unusual where you come from, aside from your youth?"

Permalink

"My power is pretty good? But I think that just changes from person to person."

Permalink

"Your power certainly is unique. There are object conjurers around, but they tend to focus around specific themes."

Permalink

"I don't have a theme. But I have the, um, weakness."

"It'll remain confidential unless you go on a crime spree or the like. So, Zaneta told me you were interested in Manifesting?"
