"Cool."

The first people to show up are a boy and a girl, teenagers, about fifteen and seventeen respectively. The girl is wearing jeans and a T-shirt and isn't looking at anyone. She has a knife in her hand, and is playing with it. The boy is dressed similarly, and looks somewhat subdued.

And as the kids appear, Hero straightens up and becomes more serious. "These are Hannah, cape name Miss Militia, and Nathan, cape name Chevalier," he introduces them.

"Hi. I'm Epic. My real name's Fëanáro."

    "Nice to meet you, Fëanáro," says Nathan.

        "Hi," says Hannah.

Other people start arriving: Champion (Howard, 17), Clover (Reed, 17), Panther (Malcolm, 16), Jaunter (Ian, 16), Leaf (Olivia, 15), Harlequin (Mary, 14), Sunlight (Jennifer, 16), and the girl with the sword returns and introduces herself as Mouse Protector, again, name Barbra.

And the last one is someone Fëanáro might recognize. At least, she recognizes him.

That is the person he asked where a hospital was. "Hi!"

"Hi. I thought I dreamt you."

"Oh, you've met?"

"In New York. I was healing people. What's your name?"

"Sadde. Don't have a cape name yet, I—triggered in New York."

Nod. "It was my fault he came back I didn't put him far enough away they haven't told me how many people died because of that."

"—you made him go away?"

"Teleport. But I didn't put him far enough I put him on Mars."

"But still you made him go away. He's gone."

"Yes, he is," Hero agrees. "Now, Legend and I have some things to do, can you make sure Fëanáro's comfortable?"

    "Right-oh!" declares Barbra.

"My power aside from the teleport is that I can make stuff. Any stuff. So I'll be comfortable."

Hero beams and goes off somewhere.

    "Those wings are really cool," says Barbra.

"Thanks. They really fly!"

"Really? I thought wings couldn't really lift a human," says Sadde.

    "Why not?" asks Olivia (as the older kids, except for Hannah, Barbra, and Nathan start dispersing).

"'Cause for things as big as a human you need very strong muscles to lift but if they're strong enough then they become too heavy and need to be even stronger..."

"Might not work for normal humans, I'm a demon."

"—like the thing from Hell in religions?"

"Yeah. Hell's nice, though, I have a house there. Demons aren't any worse than people in general."

He gets a few confused stares.

"...Hell is a dimension adjacent to some Earths. There are demons there. They're all like me - wings, and can make things. Hell is kind of tacky because of that, but it's a perfectly nice place. When I showed up there some people offered to adopt me. Humans'd probably get killed if they went there, but not because demons are mean, just because they're used to everybody being demons so they can be careless."

"Do sinners go there when they die?" asks Nathan.

"No. Summoners sometimes go there when they die but they have to have been born in the adjacent Earth and when they get there they're a demon and it's actually kind of awesome being a demon."
