Eeeee Sadde will have fun with this. "This is cool you're cool I like you."

"Demons have the best powers. And I like you too, I'm glad I joined the Wards. I was worried it'd be weird, I don't really know any other children."

"I knew some children in New York but they mostly didn't like me. And every other Ward is super old—well, for a human—and they won't really let me do anything because we don't even know what my powers are yet and even if we did I'm too little to be allowed to do anything."

"How can you not know what your powers are? And they let me do things and I didn't even tell them I was a hundred twenty two and a half? But maybe that's because they were desperate and also wouldn't have exactly been able to stop me."

"If I go out they think I'll probably die," she shrugs. "And I got my powers yesterday and all I know about them is that they let me be a girl and they rescued me from under a lot of heavy stuff."

"That sounds pretty useful. And yeah, don't die, I can't do people without help and my help doesn't know how to find me."

"I dunno if it's useful, if all it does is let me look like I should look and rescue me from under buildings I won't be a very good hero. What's your help?"

"I mean, you could help other people transition, if you've got a general power for it? There are lots of humans who'd want that, most worlds. And in the place I'm from there's someone with magic that can combine with my magic to resurrect people."

"—any people?"

"Yeah. Eventually, once my help finds me."

"How long do you think they'll take? Do you—do you think they could do my mom?"

"I am totally sure we could do your mom, and we will, but I don't know how long they'll take it might be years."

"Oh. Okay."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. It's Behemoth's, and you got rid of him."

"But I didn't put him far enough and I don't have resurrection and - my mom almost died and it was horrible -"

"—I'm gonna go do math," she says, grabbing the textbook and the computer and going off somewhere.

He wraps his wings around himself and makes the room prettier.

And presently Legend's back and—" Did you change the decor?"

"Yeah. Not allowed? I can put it back."

"I'm sure no one will complain, these quarters were somewhat hastily set up so we could move the Wards from New York yesterday. How did you find them?"

    Barbra, who chose this moment to return to the computer, pipes up with "I think he got along with the new girl."

'Yeah, Sadde's nice - can I tutor her instead of her going to school, she doesn't like it and we'll both learn more working together -"

"We'll have to see with her legal guardian, we cannot make this decision for them."

"Okay. You could find a grownup and say they're tutoring us if that helped."

"I'm not sure I would want to lie to their guardian like that—although you might count, anyway."
