"Of course, there'd be no point in teaching you things you already know."

Bounce bounce. "That sounds okay then."

"Good!" She smiles. "Other than that, we should perform some power tests."

"Ooooh! Fun!"

"Yes! It's very exciting. Would you like to do them tonight? I believe the lab is free after dinner."

"Yeah!!"

"Great!" She looks at the magnets again and purses her lips. "Are you certain these won't crash in an unexpected way and hurt you?"

"I don't think so, they're really tiny and they don't go faster than, like, throwing a pebble or something."

"Hmm, they worry me some..."

"I'll zoom them around slower?"

"I suppose that'll have to do."

Bounce bounce. 

She smiles and shakes her head. "I won't disturb you any more. Have fun."

A while later, Golden Jewel shows up again to fetch him for dinner. "Thank you for the blanket," she murmurs.

"Of course!

I'm sorry I don't have resurrection yet but I will get it."

She blinks, and shrugs. "It's not your fault you can't resurrect people," she responds in the same small voice.

"But you'd be less sad if I could and I want you to be less sad and I'm going to be able to. So it doesn't really matter whether it's my fault."

She looks at him a bit blankly, and eventually decides to just say, "Okay."

Dinner?

Dinner!

There are a couple people there who weren't there for lunch, and Batallion and two other adult capes aren't there.

He makes himself food. He eats his food. He rolls around his magnets in his hand.

And eventually Doctor Ximenes shows up.

"Hello, again! Are you ready for tests?"

Bounce bounce! "Yeah!" This would be more exciting if he didn't already know exactly what demon capabilities were and was doing science instead of doing lying.

So she leads him to another floor and to a room where there are a few computers and a man reading a book. The man looks up.

"Oh, you must be Epic. Doctor Ximenes told me a lot about you. I'm Doctor Paulo Lira, but you can just call me Paulo."

"Hi! I want to learn how my powers work, they're super cool so far."

"That's why I'm here!" He nods at Doctor Ximenes, who nods back and leaves. He closes his book and puts it down. "So, take a seat, take a—well, I suppose you could make a seat, couldn't you?"
