The cocoon spits out five children. They look around their surroundings. The one who was Screamer hugs herself and starts humming a tune. The one who was Breed looks at her curiously.

The shock of suddenly being spat out of a cocoon is probably enough to induce Manifestation. 

It probably would be, for most people. Here, the only one who does get shocked enough for that is the one who used to be Silver Morning, who feels a moment of omnipotence—

—and then a bunch of ground floats up to cover her in protective armor. Breed peers at her, now.

"...hi," says she-who-used-to-be-Screamer. "Um. What's going on?"

"I dunno—where's my mom?" asks ex-Crimson.

They suddenly perceive what looks like the hologram of a silver little girl. "Hello," it says. 

Ex-Screamer scrams and then clamps her hands on her mouth. "Who're you?" she asks. "Why are we here?"

"I'm Hannah. You're here because I brought you back from the dead, sorta. And it's 1998! And I'm fairly sure most of you are orphans."

"Nuh uh, if I'd died I'd remember it," she says.

"Maybe you forget it when you die," ex-Nyx suggests.

"Bullshit," says ex-Crimson.

"Hah! That's so Charles. Simple, I cut those memories out, along with the rest of the ones you all made as superpowered serial killers."

"I'm sorry, what," says he-who-was-Breed.

"You were all part of a team of horrible murderers who roamed around the country killing people for kicks using your really gross superpowers. I ate all of you. Here, I'll show you."

They're now treated to a highlights reel of Hannah fighting and devouring all of them, from her perspective. 

"Oh, and you were grown ups."

"Bullshit," repeats Charles-who-was-Crimson.

"Okay, you tell me why you're standing naked in the middle of the woods covered in goo, talking to a hologram who's showing you videos of grown up you being eaten, after being spewed out of a cocoon."

"There's people being eaten. Doesn't mean it's us," Charles says, rolling his eyes.

"Good point! Well, search your memories for a bit. Notice any suspicious gaps?" She looks at she-who-was-Screamer and the former Breed. "Well, not so much you two."

"Why not us?" Lilly-who-was-Screamer asks. Charles, Nat-who-was-Silver-Morning, and Carol-who-was-Nyx all frown.

"You were just a spoiled brat. The rest of you...not so much. Lots of trauma and pain in those freaky little heads of yours."

"I was not!" protests Lilly. William just shrugs.

She smiles and shakes her head at her. "Another thing, you might have noticed that you all feel really, really good? Physically, at least. Thoughts seem clearer?"

"...yeah, they do," says William.

"Why are we villains?" demands Charles.

"I wouldn't be a villain," Lilly insists. "I'd totally be a hero." Pause. "What's my power?" She looks at Nat, who's covered in armour made of earth. "Why does she have powers?"

"You're all now what are called Miracles. You're physically and mentally something like human++, and you'll heal from anything over time. Including age. You're immortal! And you'll get extra awesome powers when you Manifest. If you were most other kids it would have happened to all of you once woke up in the cocoons, but you're all a bit messed up. Sorry, but it's true."

"I'm not messed up!" Lilly insists. "Maybe they are but I'm not."

"Shut up," snarls Charles.

"It's not your fault. You all just got an unlucky combo of genetics and environment. But things will be better this time. Or at least better than the last five times."

"...last five times?" William asks.

"Excuse me," says Carol-who-has-been-silent-all-this-time, "but what is going on? Heroes and villains don't exist. They're make believe. From stories. You know?"

"Where you're from, maybe. On this world and my world there are lots of people with powers. And soon you will, too!" She claps.

"So why am I in your world?"

"Um, what did you mean by five times?" William asks again, and Lilly nods.

"Afraid I don't know that. Still, we'll look after you." She sounds sincere. 

She looks at Nat. "Congrats on the powers. Wouldn't the armour kinda hurt?"

Nat just shakes her head.

"He asked you a question," says Charles.

"What question?"

"You said 'last five times,'" William says. "What's that about?"

"Seriously," she says to Nat, "all those rocks..."

"Stop ignoring me!" William whines.

"Um," says Carol, "where's my sister? She's not a villain?"

"Um, I don't know where she is, but I'm pretty sure I know who she is. She's a hero. I can try to get you in touch eventually. She'll be different from how you remember, though."

"What? Why did I become a villain and Claire's a hero?"

William waves a hand in front of Hannah's eyes.

"Well, when you got powers in your first life, they changed the way you looked. Probably changed your brain, too. I would put worry about it too much. Just try to be a good person."

William looks at the others. "Am I invisible? Do you think she can't see me? Maybe I have a power that cameras don't detect me."

Charles and Carol shrug.

"It's so weird there's only five of you. Weren't you supposed to be the Slaughterhouse Nine? Wait, don't answer that, you wouldn't remember. So, does anyone have any questions?"

"Stop ignoring me!" William cries.

"Yeah, dude, not cool," Lilly says.

"I saaaaaaid, any questions?"

"Are you ignoring me, too?" Lilly asks, sounding affronted.

The others just watch this, Charles mildly amused and exasperated.

"Shut up, Lilly. Seriously, none of you have any questions?"

...she is temporarily speechless.

"What did you mean by five times?" Carol decides to ask.

"Thank you. So, this isn't the first time I've tried remaking you. The other times didn't go well, so I started over. For instance, the incident with the bees."

She now shows them a hologram of the incident with the bees.

Carol screams, and both Lilly and William are too busy frowning at Hannah to care. Nat seems oddly fascinated by it, but Charles—Charles is pissed. "That is such a lie I wouldn't do that! Stop lying!"

"I can show you something that almost wasn't your fault."

And now they are watching the incident with the wolf.

"That's disgusting," says Lilly, but Nat is if anything even more intrigued. Carol just makes faces, and Charles decides to stop watching and to lunge at Hannah—

—experience a moment of omnipotence—

—stop, look around, and start running for the trees at supernatural speed, rivaling the triplets when they're being playful.

She steps out from behind one of the trees. "Ding ding, we have a winner!"

And the winner is on her.

She laughs.

The winner is not sure what to do after he has her pinned down.

"Oh, go wild. I don't really feel pain, and I have loads of spares."

He frowns and gets up, then spits in her direction.

"Oh, don't be a sourpuss. You're immortal and you have superpowers. Can't wait to see what Carol gets."

"...me? Why me?"

"Cause you're the only important one left. Hey, I think I have a picture of your sister I can show you. Your sister today, I mean."

"Why are you so mean!" cries Lilly.

She rolls her eyes quite clearly. "Do you want to see it? It's not like, scary or anything."

"Stop ignoring me," Lilly shrieks—

—and now she is clearly impossible to ignore, she's the most important thing around, she's fascinating, every movement of hers is noteworthy, every word meaningful, every glance relevant—

Not to Hannah, but she can guess the affect based on how everyone else is reacting. "Ooh, I think you just Manifested, Lilly. Might be more to it if you try stuff."

"—oh so now you're not ignoring me, huh?" she says, pouting.

She giggles. "You're sort of making it hard. So, Carol, picture?"

"...sure."

"Is she gonna ignore me until I get powers, too? Why me and not you, you don't have any powers," William tells Carol, who shrugs.

"She's stupid," Charles declares.

"Oh, be quiet Charles, I reconstructed you from bacon and leaves."

She displays the picture. It seems to have been taken without the subject's knowledge, who's at the very least undeniably related to Carol. She looks happy.

Carol looks at it.

And frowns.

It turns completely red and then dissolves into nothing.

"Are you okay?"

...she shakes her head.

William frowns. "So I'm the only one without powers, now?"

"You were twins, weren't you?"

"Yeah."

"That's rough. My brothers and sister are triplets."

"What were my powers in the other life?" William asks.

"Gross and stupid."

"Why?"

"You vomited bugs."

"Ew!" declares the most important person amongst them.

"And then the bugs climbed into people's mouths or butts and ate them from the inside."

William makes a face while the most important person repeats a louder "Ew!" and Charles says "Dope!"

"...do you have holograms of that?" comes Nat's small voice.

"Um, yes, but we don't need to see that. Nat, could you come talk with me. In private?"

Nod.

They are then surrounded by stone walls. "You don't feel much, do you?"

Headshake.

"Except when people are hurting?"

"Not just people."

"I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to hurt people or animals just so you can feel better. I can make it so other things make you feel, though. Do you want that?"

"I'm not sure. What's it like?"

"I can make you feel some feelings now if it would help you decide."

"...okay."

First she makes her feel happy. 

She's in a suit of armor made of rock, it's not super clear what her reaction to this is.

"Do you like that?"

"I dunno."

"Maybe we could try it for a few days and see if you like it?"

"Okay."

"Are you okay with me taking down the walls, now?"

Nod.

She lets them fall. "Okay, so everyone's Manifested!"

"I still haven't!" William complains.

"Eh. So, how about we wash that yucky amniotic fluid off in the river and head into town. Birthday breakfast!"

The others follow her.

"...are you gonna ignore me, too?" William says. Carol looks over her shoulder and shrugs.

Once they're there, Hannah initiates a splash fight.

Everyone joins in except for Nat and William.

Huh, she was sort of hoping to give Nat an opportunity to try out her fancy new emotional reactions. Once everyone's clean, she starts generating clothes for them. She's willing to accept suggestions.

They get their clothes one by one, and William's the last.

"Sorry, Miracles only."

"What?! Why?"

"So everyone will know who's what."

"That's not fair! Why do I get to be last? I didn't do any—"

—feeling of omnipotence—

"—thing," he finishes in unison with himself—or his other self, standing in front of him and blinking.

"I guess you both get pants."

"Um," they both say, "what."

"Sorry for being crappy to you and Lilly. I knew it would help you Manifest."

They fold their arms in unison and glare at her.

"Trousers or shorts? Also, might want to see if you can duplicate clothes. Saves embarrassment."

They look at each other, then one of them disappears.

"Any idea how many of you you can make?"

"Give me my trousers first."

"Oh, sure." She hands them over, along with a shirt.

He accepts them.

Then multiplies. And multiplies again. And again. "Don't think I have a limit," they all say.

"Awesome! Now, to Faded Springs!"

She leads them out of the woods into town, whistling a merry tune.

...they're all silent, except for Lilly, who talks about everything and nothing with Charles.

Is Charles talking back?

Occasionally. Lilly does kinda dominate the conversation.

Cute. Eventually they reach town.

Where most people are at work or at school, and the streets are mostly deserted.

"Where are we?" asks Lilly.

"Faded Springs. Whole town is made up of Miracles like you guys."

As if to punctuate her statement, someone flies by above their heads.

"...wicked," says Charles, grinning.

"Okay but why?" asks Carol.

"Because someone tried murdering all these people, and I had to keep them safe by eating them. I made them Miracles to say I was sorry."

"Someone? Who?" asks Lilly.

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

"Oh."

"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!"

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

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

"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?"

"Well, I can't read minds."

"Ms. Smart."

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

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.

"She's  right, really."

"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."

"Okay."

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?"

"So did Jacob, and everyone likes him."

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

"They're all like, eight."

"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."

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

"Not here, please, Ms. Smart."

"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?"

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

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

They're all silent at that.

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

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

"All we need to do is head to the waterslide portal."

"Ooooh!"

She pulls some chocolate bars out of her "dress pocket". "Take these and follow me!" 

They all take one.

Except for Nat.

"Not a chocolate person?"

Shrug.

"That's okay."

She leads them a ways out of town to an abandoned water park, where Hannah has gotten one of the slides up and running again, plus loads of flashing lights. "Who wants to go first?"

"Me! Me! I do!" says Carol.

"Kay! Don't worry about your clothes getting wet."

She'll go, then.

There's a flash of light at the bottom.

Eeeeee~

"Line up everyone, I'll see you on the other side."

They line up. Even Nat.

She makes sure they're all spaced apart. 

They slide underwater, and when they emerge...

...they are naked. And in a cave.

"Um. What," says Lilly.

"Welcome to my home!" shouts Hannah, not bothering with the dress either. "...Not that I actually live in this cave."

"Why are we naked?"

"Eh, magic portals are like that. Hardly anyone bothers here anyway. Wanna come meet my brothers and sister? We can show you the volcano lair!"

"There's a Volcano Lair?" Charles exclaims. "That's dope!"

"It so is."

She leads them out onto the beach, where the triplets, Evan, Maurice, Jacob and Sadde are playing.

And they all turn to look at the new kids.

"Who're these?" Sadde asks.

"Jacob's friends from when he was evil."

"You've edited them, right?"

"Course I did! All Miracles by the way."

"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.

"Is that why you're all gray?" asks Charles.

"Who cares, a mermaid?" enthuses Lilly.

"Yup!"

"Show me!"

"You mind going for a swim?"

"...I can't breathe underwater."

Martin zips off for a second. "Here," he says, handing her a breathing mask. 

She eyes it mistrustfully. "What's that?"

"Breathing mask, let you stay underwater for a long time."

"How do you use it?"

"You strap it over your mouth and breathe, silly."

"Okay!" She puts it on.

Michael takes her by the hand and leads her into the water. 

She follows willingly!

Stan decides to go find Jacob and Sadde. "Michael's taking Lilly to meet his tribe if you wanna come back."

"—yeah, okay."

Back to the south beach! "So, how's not being grown up super-murderers treating you guys?" He looks at Nat. "And what's with the armour?"

"I like it," she says defensively.

"Stan, you shouldn't criticise other people's fashion choices."

Jacob giggles.

"I didn't say it was bad. Though the sun does feel nice."

"I think we're ignoring the big issue here. Namely, that Carol has paint powers."

"Yep!" she says, grinning.

Charles rolls his eyes. "Laaaaaaame."

And now Charles is trapped in a rainbow bubble. "Could you show us?"

So she makes a patch of sand turn red...

...and then it gradually starts being consumed and turned into nothing.

"Can you do other colours?"

"Yeah but I don't know what they do."

"One way to find out!"

"What should I paint?'

He points at a palm tree. "That." 

She starts covering the tree in green. Nothing happens at first, but after the whole tree's been greenified—

—a copy of it appears a few feet away from it.

The kids are all impressed, but none are as enraptured as Maurice. "Bravo, bravo! Magnifique!"

She giggles and bows.

"That's a really cool power. You have a different thing for each color?" Sadde asks.

"I think so."

"Try it on one of my illusions," says the still colourful Maurice suddenly standing beside the now pink skinned original.

She squints at it. "I can't."

"Huh. Interesting."

"So, is the armour your whole power or..." Martin asks Nat.

"No." Nat makes a bunch of rocks float and orbit around her.

"Cool! Can ya do sand?"

She demonstrates that she can by making an arc of sand around herself.

"That's much cooler than painting things," Charles opines.

"I can destroy anything," snorts Carol.

"...fine, that's cool, too."

"And there are so many colours! She's like a goddess! A pretty art goddess!"

She giggles. "What's your power?"

"I manipulate air and sound to make illusions."

"So you also paint things?"

"Yeah. I also paint things with like, brushes and stuff."

"I don't. Dunno why I got this power."

"Maybe you'd like real painting if you tried it?"

"Maybe," she says dubiously.

"Well, if you're ever bored."

"Yeah okay."

Moira looks at Charles. "What did you mean by being super strong but not now?"

"I'm not super strong now. I don't know why I was before, but I was, I found her," he points at Hannah, "and I ran to her and got her when she was hiding, but now I'm just normal again."

"What was happening when you did that?"

"...she was fucking with us."

In a split second he's being shoved against a tree. "Don't swear!"

And in a split second she's been shoved away and he's standing five feet from her and baring his teeth.

"Oh, so you need to be pissed." She assumes a more battle ready stance. "Wanna fight?"

"Bring it!"

And he pounces.

She flings him into the air and flies after him!

He's agile enough he can twist in the air and avoid her.

Then he'll fall to the ground.

"Battle Royale!"

Yeah fine they can have fun.

By unspoken agreement, it's island child vs. 5/9. Stan goes for William.

William mob rushes Stan.

Maurice intervenes with his own air clones.

William makes more William.

What are Jacob and Sadde up to?

Watching and quietly talking to Nat.

"You're no fun!" says Stan from the William dog-pile.

"Yet you still hang out with me!" she calls.

"Your room is down the hall!"

"Still."

"Ignore him," Martin says to Nat. "He's just what happens when the dumb twin thinks he's the evil one."

She squirms uncomfortably at that.

"Are you okay?"

Shrug.

"Dont talk much?"

Headshake.

Jacob pats her shoulder.

"No idea where I might have seen that before.'

Jacob giggles.

Nat looks at him, then peels back the rock from her face so her head is sticking out of the armor.

Martin giggles a little as well. "So you do have a face."

She pokes her tongue out at him, then looks very surprised that she did that. Jacob pats her again.

"Resuming leadership duties, are we?"

Now he's not sure if that was appropriate. 

...yeah it wasn't. Jacob frowns.

Nat looks at him. "You were Jack Slash?"

Jacob nods.

"But he's the nicest kid you'll ever meet unless he somehow has a baby with Maurice!"

A grimace, now. Nat giggles, and is surprised by this, too.

Humour, he can do that. "Don't mind him, he just learned how babies were made a week ago."

Nat blinks in confusion. "How are babies made?"

"A boy puts his peepee in a girl and that feels good for both of them and then something in the boy goes in the girl and that grows into a baby," Jacob explains.

"Um."

"It's weird," he agrees.

"Your world's schools weren't doing their job."

"I didn't go to school," Jacob says. Nat just shrugs.

"How much do you remember of your old life?" he asks Nat.

"Not much. Didn't like my mom. Dad was never around."

"Oh. Well, I'm sure my mum can find you a new one."

"...a new dad?"

"Or a new mum, or both. Someone to look after you."

Sadde's turn to pat her. "We're team terrible parents, here," she nods.

"This kinda puts a dead dad in perspective."

At that Sadde frowns.

And now Jacob's patting her.

"So what do you want to do, Nat? We've got a whole island to work with."

She looks around. "Stay here."

"That's okay, as long as you're happy."

She furrows her brows in concentration.

"Thinking about something?"

"Don't know if I'm happy."

"...Is that a problem you have a lot?"

"I was born today."

He laughs. "Fair enough." 

Meanwhile, Moira is still duelling with Charles, having the time of her life testing her might against a new speedster.

Charles doesn't quite match her but it's close enough to be challenging, and the more ticked he is the faster and stronger and more agile he is.

She resorts to tickling him to try and boost his powers.

That only annoys him—so it does in fact help.

"You are a worthy challenger," she says between striking and dodging.

"You are annoying," he says, laughing between dodging and striking.

"I wonder how strong a good kick to the bollocks would make you."

"Don't you dare," he growls.

She makes a wild kicking motion, deliberately stopping just short of her supposed target.

He dodges anyway, and attacks.

She is very fast. "You are so adorable when you're angry."

Pounce!

She lets him get her, he's earned it.

Meanwhile, Carol and Maurice have been testing colours. Blue makes things cold, black makes things warm, purple makes things slippery, orange makes things more solid...

"I love my powers, wouldn't trade them for anything...but if I had to I'd want yours."

"It's really cool," she says smugly. "I wonder if I could have a color that sets things on fire."

"And this is why we test new colours on sand and rocks."

"I wanna set things on fire! Maybe..."

She tries combining red and black. It works. She giggles.

"Pretty."

"I am the master of all elements!"

He winks. "Don't let Nat hear that."

"I'm way better than she is. Hmm... I think..." She envelops a rock in white. It starts floating. "I'm getting the hang of this."

"Can you do colours people can't usually see?"

"Like what?"

"Ultraviolet, infrared?"

She tries one of these invisible colours. It makes stuff glow. "That's ultraviolet." Then infrared causes it to start vibrating and moving and shaking and jumping a lot.

"Doesn't seem very stable."

"I want something other than sand and rocks to practice on."

"Like?"

"Dunno. Mice."

"Maybe not something so...alive?"

She pouts. "But that's the fun!"

He giggles, a little warily. 

And now Michael is walking out from the surf, a thoroughly painted Lilly in hand. "We're baaack!"

"There were mermaids they were so cool!"

...yeah Sadde's noping out of there.

"There were mermen, too."

"Yeah all of those. They're gray but it's like dolphins and they make clicking noises and it's so great!!!"

"I know, right? I think they liked you."

"I got all painted look!" She runs up to one of the extant Williams to show him. He nods solemnly.

"And we saw a baby being born."

"Yyyyeeeeeah it was icky."

"It was the miracle of life!"

"It was an icky baby coming out of icky parts!"

"You don't like babies?"

"They're icky," she declares.

"Eh, they're alright," a William says.

"See, he knows what's up. And you were a baby once."

"And icky," she insists.

"Wait, you were born today. So logically you're still a baby!"

"What's logic got to do with anything?"

"You are a day old, and people who are a day old are babies." She pats Lilly on the head.

"No, babies are small icky gooey things, it has nothing to do with how old you are."

"Rrrrraaaah!" cries Charles as he tackles Moira.

"And that means Hannah's your mummy!" she says while wrestling around with Charles. 

"No she's not, she's, like, a surrogate mom at most."

"Cause she carried you inside her?"

"Yeah."

Hannah giggles. "I'm so proud of my babies."

"Not a baby," Lilly insists.

"Kind of a baby," William muses.

"Rrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Charles cries.

"This one thinks he's a dinosaur."

Tackle!

Head butt!

He growls and runs after her.

She holds him in a head lock. 

He throws himself (and her) to the ground.

"I concede."

"Hah! I win!"

"Feels good, don't it?"

"Yes!"

"Do you take back that spit earlier?"

Shrug. "Maybe."

"I did make you an awesome superhuman."

"Eeehhhh."

"You also ignored us a lot for a long time," complains the most important person around. "That was mean."

"That was so you could get powers."

"Couldn't you just inject us with hormones or something," asks William.

"That doesn't sound very safe."

"You literally made us."

"Do you see regular mummies injecting their babies with hormones?"

"You're not regular."

"God, why does it matter now?"

"'Cause you could've done it!" William insists.

Jacob tilts his head and waves, calling Hannah's attention.

"Excuse me." She walks over to Jacob.
