A determined Kevin marched toward the lighthouse.

"Mira!" he called out.

"Kevin!" Mira smiled, floating down from the top of the lighthouse. "A sight for sore eyes."

The angry and disappointed look in his eyes would probably tell her he knew what she did before his thoughts would.

"I don't think you want to hurt your friends, no. And, even with as weird as Will gets about shifting sometimes, I don't believe he would want to be eaten. Least of all that Sara would want to eat him."

"It's an appropriate program for something of Will's stature, don't you think? I'll admit, English is filled with words that have become derogatory. Like mutant," she said, a little pointedly.

"It's quality of essence? Sorry, these terms don't translate well.

But, like, I'm the Phoenix, which is different from Sam, who's a goddess, which is different from you, because you're a person, and that's different than ASHLIE, who is a robot."

"Will's life source groups it more in with ASHLIE than you. It's not something most people could really sense, but that's kind of my field."

"Welllll," Mira hedged. "Not exactly. You're not exactly human either, though I know that's a loaded term. Homo Sapiens Superior, I think you like to call it?"

Mira sighed, and went over to hold Kevin's head as he vomited into the trash can.

"I'm sorry, Kevin. I didn't think it'd cause you to have an adverse reaction."

"To cannibali..."

He vomited a little more before standing up.

"How could you possibly not think doing this would upset me... no, us?"

"Don't you think you're being a WEE bit overreactive?

It's not cannibalism, it was flour, for God's sake. High-quality flour. You use it all the time."

"The difference is wheat wasn't recently held captive and experimented on in some of the most degrading ways possible by scientists that have since used nanites to erase his existence from the public record. And now you of all people, entities, or whatever are treating him the same God damn way!"

And that's when Mira slapped him.

"Don't you dare even insinuate that Kevin. Don't you dare.

I am treating it with love and respect and kindness.""

Kevin was speechless for a long moment.

"Fine, you know what? Forget Will for a second. Forget that I feel hurt. You hurt Sara. She's still fighting every day to keep what they did to him from tearing the one she loves away from her all over again, and now you, even with the best of intentions I'm sure, come along and violate his free will. Mortals... yeah we don't usually like that."

"That's why I'm talking to her this afternoon.

I don't understand why she's hurt. I want to find out, though. I want to help. It's free will? I would never do anything that wasn't good for it. Never. Did I go about it the wrong way? Quite possibly. I'll own up to that.

I just want her to understand where I'm coming from as well.

And...I want to know why YOU'RE hurt. I don't understand, Kevin. I'm not...

I'm not TRYING to be obtuse, but I don't understand."
