Well now it is, he doesn't send.

Yes. I feel like there's more I could do, should do, and I can't.

Yeah. I'm so mad at myself I didn't think of some way to get resurrection, I wish I'd studied the economic history of Warp and Revelation, there's just so much to fix and even if we can fix it all there's so many people dying in the meantime...

Are other Earths safer?

Wish is perfectly safe, no one dies permanently unless they want to do and Mîr's post-scarcity and it's not hard to immigrate to Mîr so most places on Earth that weren't giving their people a good life had to shape up. Warp's where I live and its Earth is post-scarcity too and they've still got death but we're working on fixing that and T'Mir saved thirty-five billion lives before we even met her.

No, I meant—at this time. Without parahumans, without Behemoth, is the Earth better without us?

Most Earths at this time have something else weird going on - vampires, or magical girls, or aliens invading- I think a baseline 1994 Earth would be more peaceful than yours but we can change that now.

He shakes his head. We had such hopes. The golden age of heroes, powers to help everyone, bring us up and forward.

But then people kept being villains?

Yes, and worse.

Well, unless Behemoth is a cape it's good you had capes to deal with him.

Maybe Behemoth is a cape, maybe he isn't, but he sure didn't exist before capes did.

And doesn't exist in other Earths,yeah.

If he was a trigger, there'll be another one.

Well. We can keep sending them far away.

Until one of them appears that can't be teleported.

Is that likely?

Maybe not directly immune, but too fast, or capable of teleportation, or managing to keep you from focusing on them.

I could evacuate the planet.

Might work in some cases, not others.

What kind of case would evacuating the planet not work for?

If whatever it was teleported, too, and could go after you—like Mouse Protector.

...could jump dimensions, then. We should probably get to checking for safe adjacent ones.

You were planning on that? Sounds like a good idea—if temporary, unless powers stop working in adjacent dimensions.

That's what we were going to check. Lots of magic has an adjacency limit and if yours does, then we could keep prisoners in a nearby dimension.

I wonder what this would do to people—things—like Behemoth, whose power has completely reshaped them.
