"I was thinking about the body of myself I made when I was trying to do resurrection - it's not me, it's like - me but asleep? And then I was in it. And I thought oh, cool, I can go exploring - I guess maybe I should've gotten a grownup -"

"It looked a lot like you were teleporting people. And you put New York back, didn't you."

"Yep! Since São Paulo's going to take time but New York was all ready to go. I can do the body thing for other people too and if I make and unmake then it's kind of like teleporting though I've been being sure to make the new one first in case otherwise they die."

"And you didn't think to inform us of this?" she asks, sounding more worried than angry.

" - I was kind of excited and everyone had things they wanted me to do and they were so happy when I did them and it was really nice having everyone like me and be excited about the things I can do -"

"Had you told other people of what you could do, in New York?"

"I didn't know all the stuff I could do but I showed off what I'd figured out."

"And they made you blueprints for a new New York off that?"

He makes the blueprints and gives them to her. 

She takes them and looks over them, then looks at him again. "Who have you talked to, there?"

"Legend! And Hero! And Alexandria! They were really nice. ...probably because they wanted me to stay and be their superhero but still."

She frowns. "It's very dangerous to do these things on your own. There is a lot of politics going on with new capes involved, and those people are even deeper in it, being so high up their organisations."

"I guess they would be, yeah. But they were nice."

"Just because someone's nice doesn't mean they're actually well-meaning," she explains. "Besides, it's a lot of pressure to put on someone to ask them to help with that monster so soon after they've faced another one."

" - yeah, I guess. I shouldn't have snuck out, right?"

"Right," she says, nodding. Then sighs. "How are you feeling? I was very worried when I couldn't wake you."

"Okay. Hungry."

"Do you want to go eat in the cafeteria with the others?"

"Sure."

She opens the door and motions for him to follow her.

And the next time he checks for Contessa's messages, there'll be one saying, You will need to swear to believe for two hours whatever lie you're telling them, next time you get the chance—they will have someone who can detect lies nearby.

...mind-altering oaths are such a bad idea and if he believed those things most of his memories would be super confusing. 

...he could swear to believe he has cape powers that work that way and that he's not using his normal magic in this dimension on Contessa's advice for some reason. He thinks about wording carefully for a while and then whispers that to himself.

And then they get to the cafeteria and the mood is about the same as when he first arrived post-Behemoth.

Gee, he wonders why. 

He sits down and eats.

"We should test this new development of your powers after this," Doctor Ximenes suggests.

"Yeah, definitely."
