Derek chuckled. "What To Expect When You're Expecting Powers. It's like pregnancy but with superpowers. Honestly, if anyone in the government read comics, I'm pretty sure we'd be dead already. The potential is staggering, and when you consider that most mutants develop secondary powers, it's amazing that they don't kill us on arrival. Thank God for old white conservative men who have better things to do than read comic books."
He nodded. "I guess so." He frowned at the question, because he'd been so focused on the research and all the possible manifestations of the powers that he hadn't thought about practical things. "What do you mean when you say go anywhere? I mean the few times I've tried I've been asleep." Even as he asked, he knew what Deeks asking. "You mean in the real world?" He shook his head. "When I've tried, I've been in this astral realm, and that doesn't get any less surreal no matter how many times I say it. I hope you know that. I've seen a few people other than you, and I've been able to feel others, but they were more energy entities than corporeal being. And yes, that's weird, too. I thought I'd seen it all in my line of business. Psychoses suddenly seem so mundane."
