"Let me put it like this: Michael is right to complain."

"Because you got bits outside?"

"Yes. Girls are much more streamlined!"

"Neither is streamlined, both just evolved."

"I did not evolve, thank you very much."

"And we're technically bioengineered," adds Stan.

"Well, your body's still shaped like a regular boy's, isn't it? So it's the evolved shape, not a stre—stream—streamlined one. And what do you mean, bioen—that?"

"My body is not girl shaped. And bioengineered means-Ok, first of, do you know what genes are?"

"It's not? And yeah."

"Basically, the virus that makes Zaneta a Miracle also altered her genes to make them better. Miracles didn't evolve to be awesome, they were made that way."

"Oh. Who made the virus?"

"Nobody really knows. But something clearly made it. Nothing that evolved naturally could make us this cool."

"I guess."

"Bit weird it only works on kids."

"Yeah. Back home anyone can get powers."

"Anything else different. That you know about I mean."

"Scion? Behemoth? Less people with powers? People wear masks."

"Hmm, this is going to be hard. Um, over here, Miracles don't age once we're grown up. What about parahumans?"

"Dunno, parahumans haven't been around long. Like ten years I think."

"Oh. Well, we also heal really, really good."

Maurice chimes in. "I had really bad asthma before I Manifested. And I once had a broken leg that healed before the weekend." He speaks about this casually, as though broken legs ought to just repair themselves in under a week. "And, it's kind of hard to explain, but everything sort of improves after you Manifest."

"Trigger events back home also fix things sometimes, I think. Well, mine fixed me."

"What did it fix? Could you not walk? Or were you mentally disabled or something like that?" She asks neither question with any malice. 

"...no, a giant monster had attacked my city and the building where I lived had crumbled on top of me."

"Oh, that really sucks." She works up the courage to ask her follow up question. "So your power fixed your body? But you don't heal now?"

"Yeah."

"Did you get any smarter? Does your body move better than before?"
