The new apartment awaits its guests. Brand new folding chairs line the walls of the dining room, and the living room is as clean as possible.

Almost everything is ready. Let the housewarming begin!

"This world has superheroes in it, but mine doesn't...not really. It never ceases to amaze me how many of you find your way to Milliways."

"Well, you know. Hopping dimensions is just a thing we do, he said modestly."

"And is that your super power? Dimensional travel?"

"One of them. My primary powers are to do with manipulating hydrogen plasma, and with tweaking the quantum medium that's one of the main sources of superhuman powers in my home world. But I can do more or less anything I put my mind to, really."

"I'm just going to pretend I understood that, and go with the last thing you said...you can do nearly anything."

She smiles in good humor.

"That's very impressive."

He bows. "Thanks. And you understand the important part. I can play with fire," he makes a gentle flame dance briefly around his right arm, "and I can give people powers, or take them away once given. But the important part is the bashful confession of nigh-omnipotence." He grins lopsidedly. "It has to be bashful, lest I get drunk with power again."

"Is that what happened, when you were a bad guy, for a while?"

She can imagine that happening, quite easily to many people.

"I'm glad the only things I can do are grow hair really fast, and live a long time."

"Yes and no. It's not how I went bad, but it's very much how I went worse." Not much of a smile there. "But the power isn't really something I can give up, it turns out. All I can do is try to use it to help people."

"I'm glad you found your way back to the good side."

She means it. There are so many fables who were model citizens, since signing the amnesty agreement when they arrived in the mundane world.
