"Yes that's what I meant."

"The kebab is getting cold!"

"You can eat it if you want," she says, still looking at Martin.

Moira stands there for a moment, irritation building. "You know Evan made Hannah, right? And that our mum was born a hundred years ago? Come on, Martin's boring. He's the spare-" Martin looks at her sharply. "I did not use the name I'm not allowed to use!"

"I don't know Evan made Hannah, I know your mom was born a hundred years ago, and even if Martin's boring he's the one who's upset so I'm trying to fix it."

"He's always upset!"

"That just means I need to fix it harder."

"Why do you think you need to fix us?"

"I didn't say fix him I said fix it, the reason why he's upset."

"Um, I think I feel better."

"Oh, good. We shouldn't eat other kinds of meat anyway."

"Do you want me to show you something cool?"

"Sure."

He zips her to one of the many sitting rooms.

"Behold, all the books that have been written about Mum!"

It was substantial amount to say the least.

She looks around, awed. "Why did people write so many books about her?"

"She's very important." He makes no attempt to hide his glee at the thought.

"What did she do?"

"She protected the Soviet Union for fifty years, then she founded the Amazing Association with my dad and some other guys."

"What's the Amazing Association?"

"They take care of Miracles, manage superheroes, study the virus, run our school..."

"Oh, so like the Protectorate... Does that make your mom like Alexandria? You don't know who Alexandria is."

"Nope!"

"Alexandria can fly and is super strong and super resistant and has a super brain and helped found the Protectorate."

"Bet Mum could beat her!"

"Maybe, I don't understand your powers very well yet. She's strong enough to fight giant monsters, though. Well, one giant monster."
