"Yeah! I'm kinda curious about whether there's stuff that got produced that's the same even after Scion appeared. Could be useful to predict things."

He makes a thumb-sized data stick. "This is all the other Earths up through 2020, you'd need a bigger computer to fit stuff after that because the population makes a lot more media once the internet's really a thing but for comparison purposes it should do."

He nods and accepts the data stick.

"So what other cool things does the future and aliens bring us?"

"Uh, all of the more advanced Earths are pretty much post-scarcity, you might be able to pull that off with just one demon but you might not, humans are pretty populous for a species so you usually get to have a lot of sway in the galaxy, we should colonize Mars, Revelation has arcologies there and on the Moon..."

"Arcologies—we should totally colonize Mars and the Moon—but we still have the whole hunger problem—and the warlords problem—and people will probably still trigger on the Moon and we're not going at a sustainable rate—"

"What's not sustainable?"

"The rate of triggers. If we continue at this rate we're going to have way too many parahumans, and we already have had Behemoth, Glaistig Uaine, Gray Boy, Sleeper all on the side of the bad guys and most triggers turn out to become bad guys, which makes sense given what they are but..."

"Yeah. Maybe if your world was nice and post-scarcity then triggers'd be less likely to be bad guys?"

"I'm not sure. Triggers are always traumatic by definition—if our world was nice and post-scarcity then maybe triggers would happen less but I don't know if given that they happened at all people wouldn't just be bad guys anyway."

"Lots of people have traumatic things happen to them and don't turn bad - well, lots of Elves do, maybe Elves're just nicer -"

"Humans don't exactly turn bad when they're traumatized, but they do become more emotionally unstable and there are lots of incentives to use powers—guess most of those'd be fixed by post-scarcity—and lots of powers are combat-oriented anyway." 

"Could there be sports competitions or something?"

"I guess? But comparatively very few powers are physical, and I'm not sure people would be as excited about sports that would be won because of the power lottery rather than effort and dedication."

"If we found my peal we could fix all of this." Sigh. "Well, we'll tell your PRT what I can do and maybe they'll think of things, thinking of things is probably not a part I'm especially good at."

"I'm good at inventing things, but not this." Sigh. "...also, uh, peal?"

"It's a pun. In English, actually. Boots is named Isabella and all the alternate universe versions of her are named something with 'bel' in it - Akibel, Campbell, Iobel, Beldri - so they call themselves Bells. And what are a lot of bells?"

He dissolves into a fit of giggles.

"Bells are pretty great."

"They sound it. I'd love to meet them."

"Me too because that'd mean all our problems were solved. Anyway, the PRT can probably think of stuff. We'll just magic stuff for them."

"Yeah." Pause. "Can you show me an arcology?"

"Yeah for sure!" Scale model. "We could just go to the Moon and build one if you want."

"Yes let's do that!"

Pop! He shouldn't leave spaceships floating around everywhere, it's irresponsible, but whatever. He makes air so Hero can breathe while he works. This Moon is going to have such a nice set of arcologies.

Maybe they should've asked for permission but worst-case Epic can just teleport them away and arcologies on the Moon!!!!!!!
