"Oh, like Invincible," Ellen says. "Or Moon Shadow- sorry, they're both friends of mine who come here. Invincible's in school in his civilian identity but he's got genetic superpowers, so when he's not at school he works for the government. Moon Shadow's a little more independent, but he deals with similar things. He seems to get aliens a lot, but there's supers all over the place in his world, on both sides of the law."

She nods. "Everyone has something that gets them where they live," she says gently. "Even if you've been up against gigantic green rage monsters and alien invaders with disintegration weapons and orbital death rays and come out of it okay, there's going to be something that hits you personally. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all."
