"Someone? Who?" asks Lilly.

"She means us," the two remaining Williams inform her.

"Oh."

Permalink

"Still, water under the bridge. Now, breakfast."

She leads them to a diner she rather likes. 

"Make way, five hungry Miracles in need of emergency birthday breakfasts!"

Permalink

"And where," comes a familiar voice, "did you get six new Miracles, Ms. Smart?"

Permalink

"Oh, hi Mayor Boris. And I made them."

Permalink

"Made them?"

"We used to be villains but we're nice now," supplies Lilly.

Mayor Boris does a double take. "Villains," he says, deadpan, before looking at Hannah again. "Ms. Smart, are they who I think they are?"

Permalink

"Well, I can't read minds."

Permalink

"Ms. Smart."

Permalink

"Okay, you got me, they're the Nine. Well, five."

Permalink

The whole diner falls silent. "That was a very unwise thing to do, Ms. Smart."

"We're nice! We didn't do anything!" Lilly insists.

Permalink

"She's  right, really."

Permalink

"Ms. Smart, would you and your new Miracles come with me?"

"But we're hungry," complains Charles, and Carol nods.

"It'll be just a moment."

Permalink

He leads them outside, then asks the five/nine to wait a moment and pulls Hannah aside.

"Has it occurred to you, Ms. Smart, that everyone in this town has been murdered by these people?"

Permalink

"So did Jacob, and everyone likes him."

Permalink

"I'm sure everyone in your world likes him, and I'm also sure everyone here would be very traumatized to see him."

Permalink

"They're all like, eight."

Permalink

"Yes, Ms. Smart, but I do not expect the people of this town will be reassured to know that some of their loved ones are gone forever because you could not get to them in time while their killers are walking around free."

Permalink

".... I'll take them home. Could they have breakfast first?"

Permalink

"Not here, please, Ms. Smart."

Permalink

"Okay." 

She heads back over to the 5/9. "Sorry guys, breakfast is postponed. Who's up for a journey to a tropical paradise in another dimension?"

Permalink

"...why?" asks William, suspiciously.

Permalink

"Because people here are scared of your old selves and would treat you unfairly here."

Permalink

They're all silent at that.

Permalink

"It's not so bad. My world has awesome giant monsters, mermaids, cool ruins, the lot."

Permalink

"Oooh!" say Carol, Charles, and Lilly simultaneously.
