“And dying,” Jack said. “How about you and the Superiors? Any of you sick?”

“We've evolved way beyond human diseases,” Reaper said, and Jack could not read him at all.

“They might be weak, but they can help you find Camp H. You and them together. Pooling talents. Feeding off each other's powers, instead of using them to repulse each other. You'll be…the New.” Jack smiled, pleased at his moment of inspiration. “That's what you'll call yourselves. Work together to find Camp H, rescue Mum and Emily, and get us all out of the city. Then we blow the whistle on everything that's been happening in London. It all changes. Exposure.”

Reaper said nothing, but he looked thoughtful.

“If everything stays as it is, everyone will die,” Jack said softly. “And death surely isn't the only way out. The New, Dad. It's the only way.”

Reaper nodded slowly. “If we do this—and that's ‘if’—we'll need to congregate without being seen.”

“Yes,” Jack said. “I've thought about that. And I've got it covered.”

“You have?” Reaper said. Well done, Son, Jack wanted him to continue. I'm proud of you, Jack. You're grown into a strong young man, even though I wasn't there to…

Jack glanced away, feeling tears threatening. When he looked back, Reaper was watching him, smiling.

“What?” Jack asked harshly.

“You're interesting. Impressive. Maybe you'll be as much a Superior as me.”

“No,” Jack said. “I might be able to do things, but you know what? I'm just a normal boy.”

He would have liked to believe that. As they left the room and Reaper spoke to a couple of his people, Jack did his best to find the truth in the statement. But when he knocked and entered the small room where Sparky and Jenna were resting, and saw them both glance up at him with momentary fear in their eyes, he knew that they had been talking about him, and that he was moving farther away from normal with every breath he drew.
