Maxine sighed. It was so hard to explain what The Red was. She tried, multiple times, but no one knew who Swamp Thing was or what her dad could do, which made it much harder.
"All the animals are connected, even the bacteria. And the Red in the different planets are connected. And even the animals that are extinct are connected to the animals that are still alive and the animals that haven't been born yet."
Maxine chewed on her lip.
"My Dad used the Red and he could be like any animal. Like he could fly or bark like a dog or be strong like a bear." The way she frowned and buried herself in her drawings suggested her dad wasn't something she liked to talk about.
