"I mean, he might be peeved you stole his name if he finds out, and he is a villain."

"Well so am I."

The duty teacher had pulled out her phone, and was making a half hearted attempt at whispering. "I think we should call Zaneta."

Stan made a quarter hearted attempt at whispering. "That's our mum." 

"I don't think you can be a villain as a kid," she says dubiously.

"Why not? I bet I have better powers than him."

"He's a tinker, those are, like, the best powers. And he's an alternate universes tinker, too, it's how he sent me here!"

"Can tinkers move faster than sound? Because that's the best power."

"Tinkers can make things that move faster than sound."

"So can I! And so can our mum."

"Really? What can you do? And do people on this Earth just tell everyone they have powers?"

"I make things do other things. And why wouldn't we?"

"'Cause then villains can attack your family and friends!"

"And then we beat them up. Or mum does."

"But by then your friends could be dead!"

"Eh, just make more Miracle friends."

"Your normal friends won't be any less dead just because you made new ones, and anyway the villains could kill those, too."

"You do know half the kids here are Miracles, right?"

She looks around. "Really? Kids? Isn't everyone here, like, our age? I thought this was a school."

"Yeah? What else would it be?"

"I dunno, but on my Earth it's not very common for kids to have powers."

"Why not?"

Shrug. "Dunno. Most heroes are adults."

"But they got their powers as kids, right? Huxley's virus doesen't work on grown ups."

"What's that?"

"It's what gives people powers, dummy. Don't you know anything?"

"I'm not a dummy! But no one knows about any viruses back home, and capes can too get powers as adults!"
