Alexandria and Eidolon follow her in.

It's a rush. The air pressure changes suddenly, and it feels like she's actually traversed the space between where she was and where she is very very fast.

Alexandria leads the way.

Well. This is quite a power, isn't it? Daeva-level power, if not the same type. And they're very varied, aren't they, during her time spent as emergency relief, she saw people doing so many things -

And is a little girl that can make a super-powerful fairy far fetched, in a land like this?

...

She's quite sure that she was not created several days ago, but it's food for thought. Might be what they think she is.

"I get the impression that parahumans just sort of - get their powers randomly?"

"Approximately. Not everyone has the potential to get them, but those who do will get them when put under sufficient stress," Alexandria explains as she finds her way through the maze.

Permalink
Pause.

An Endbringer attack is pretty stressful.

"... Ah. Okay."

She doesn't think she was created several days ago but it might be a thing that occurred. ... It doesn't really change anything, except maybe if she's killed she could be put back, or maybe the Simurgh has to get Mary to accomplish anything at all. But maybe not. Who knows. This is all guesswork.

Well, if she doesn't share her guesses with the rest of the class they can't comment on it!

Eventually they reach a room, where a woman with a doctor's lab coat is waiting with another, much younger lady in an utilitarian black suit. Both stand up, and the former says, "Hello. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am the Doctor." She extends her hand to Morgan.

Permalink
Morgan shakes the offered hand, not looking distracted at all.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, too. I'm Morgan." She bets she already knows, but there's no use being impolite.

"Please, sit," she says, and takes a seat herself. The woman with her doesn't say anything and doesn't take a seat, though. Both Alexandria and Eidolon do. "I heard you have quite useful powers and are responsible for Leviathan's disappearance and the Simurgh's odd behavior." She has a slight French accent, barely noticeable.

Permalink
Well it'd just be rude not to sit, so she does. Not that she thinks the woman with her is rude. Possibly a bodyguard, she's not sure.

She smiles a bit. "I am. How much have they told you already?"
Permalink

"Everything, I do believe. You see, we've been working for years on getting rid of the Endbringers with little success. At the current rate, our estimates are that we will be facing an end-of-the-world scenario in approximately thirty years."

Permalink

"From the Endbringers? How often do they show up?"

Permalink

"Once every two to four months. The same Endbringer never attacks twice in a row since Leviathan showed up. I'm not sure if you know, but our version of Japan has been mostly destroyed by Leviathan, with Kyushu having been completely sunk. You probably saved Newfoundland from a similar fate, but Behemoth has caused similarly extensive damage and it's basically impossible to gauge how much the Simurgh has affected."

Permalink
Morgan nods, looking grim.

"Well, I think I should be kept far far away from the Simurgh, but I might be able to kill Leviathan with some help or more time without the Simurgh showing up. I don't know enough about Behemoth to say if I could do much at all. It's more like Leviathan than the Simurgh, right?"
Permalink

"Only in that he can't see the future or affect people's minds," Alexandria says. "He's fifteen feet taller than Leviathan, and a dynakinetic."

"If you work through telescopes it might be possible to do something about the Simurgh before she can properly affect you or retaliate. We have to assume whatever plans she has already take you into account."

Permalink

Another nod. "I'll try whatever looks promising with her, so long as she doesn't have a chance to get in my head again. If I can get her out of the solar system she'll have a hell of a time getting back without my level of telekinesis. And Behemoth can come with me on a field trip for scientific experimentation into killing Endbringers - is there a way you could get me some sort of device that will help with navigating in space? Otherwise I have to keep Earth in view so I don't get hopelessly lost."

Permalink

"I had another idea."

Permalink

"Oh?"

Permalink

"We're not on the same Earth you arrived in."

Permalink
Blink.

"Ah, that is good," she says, slightly stunned.
Permalink

"And we have access to universes that do not have an Earth in them," the Doctor says.

Permalink

"That's useful. Are you able to check for other sentient species?"

Permalink

"We're able to check for lack of obvious signs of sentient species within a certain radius, to the same extent we're pretty sure there aren't any at least in solar systems near ours."

Permalink
That's not a perfect solution, but - yeah, okay. There's not much else she can ask for there. The universe is really damn big. She nods.

"Can I ask how the portal power works?"
Permalink

"Doormaker can open doors from pretty much anywhere to anywhere else, but he's effectively deaf and blind due to his power. Clairvoyant can see and hear anywhere and has the wherewithal to process what he sees, and can also project it to other people. They work together to open and close portals where we need them to."

Permalink
Oooooo. No wonder they keep that a secret, that's beautiful.

"Clairvoyant might not be a good medium for using my powers, but if not," she says, "I would love to join that beautiful group and move things where needed."
Permalink

"There is a slight problem with that idea," says Alexandria.

"Once Clairvoyant stops touching his recipient, they become overwhelmed by it and tend to be stuck in bed for at least a week due to that. He and Doormaker never stop touching."
