"Fortunately you won't have to" I assured him, "because believe you me it's actually more convenient for ALL of us if nobody ever finds out."
"How does that even work? TWO Extinction Entities, that's gotta be a very good thing since they can both hold back the end of the world right...or a very bad thing...damn, this is way above my paygrade"
"Feel free to theorycraft with your fellow mortals. I hear Deadman's not got much longer to live, not that he's letting death stop him. But suffice to say that if you want your kid to grow up quicker, you can take her into a voidout where the spirits of the damned can build her a golden chrysalis that will instantly age her up into the spitting image of Elle Fanning, giving her powerful chiral magic abilities. Which are, technically, but a fraction of her TRUE potential as an Extinction Entity. She has to turn into a giant baby to do that. Don't ask me why, I don't make THOSE rule" I said.
Sam opened another bottle of soft liquor as he digested that, drinking thoroughly but responsibly. "I uh. I'll think about it" he said finally. "What was the other reason?"

"Huh. Alright, best of luck with that...Numberman"
I tilted my hand. "Numberman, you say..."
"Uh. It's our unspoken team naming convention, remember? Men get X-man, women get a vaguely related adjective or noun"
"Oh no it's just, I've known another Numberman. Quite fitting, actually. Yeah. I like that. Numberman, Numberman..." I muttered. As I headed off to the DHV Magellan to deal with the other issue, I reflected on how killing Higgs off ages ago had been a really convenient move.
