"Edited them?"

"Made them less likely to kill us all in our beds."

"I wouldn't kill anyone!" says Lilly.

"Well you did. In the future," Charles points out.

"Bet it was just obnoxious people," William says.

"Some of them were pretty okay."

Martin desperately wants to change the subject. "What are your powers?"

"I don't know, she just says I have one," says Lilly.

"I can duplicate," William says, demonstrating.

Charles shrugs. "I'm super fast and strong but not now."

"I can paint things!" Carol says brightly. "And they do things when I paint them."

And Nat is still in her armour.

"Paint?"

"How can you not know your power?"

"I just don't."

"You're shiny," says Charles. "It feels like we should pay attention to you."

Sadde chokes on her spit. "You what?" She looks away, then looks at Lilly, and screeches.

Jacob blinks and looks between Sadde and Lilly.

"Don't be nasty, Sadde."

Lilly looks very confused.

"I'm not being nasty she is messing with my head!"

"Not on purpose."

"Does that make my head less messed with? It does not!"

"But I'm not doing anything!" Lilly exclaims.

"Kinda are," says Charles. "Hard to see but we were around you before. It's different."

"Sadde, we shouldn't mistreat people for things they can't control."

"I'm not mistreating anyone! I'm just going away, I am totally allowed to not be around people for things they can't control."

"That's fine. I hope we can work out a solution some time."

"Yeah. Bye."

And she's ensuited and flies away.

Jacob looks around and decides to fly after her.

"...um," says Lilly.

"Sorry about that. Sadde is very defensive of her mind."

"Shame Jacob flew away. You'd have liked him."

Michael suddenly is behind Lilly. "But everyone likes Jacob."

She screams, and Charles snickers.

"I don't really get it," Carol shrugs.

Michael giggles. "I'm Michael, son of the mermaid!" he declares, mostly at Lilly.
