“Once upon a time, there was a genius who–

There was a very bright man–

Once upon a time, there was a very arrogant man who did something very dangerous. Without thinking things through, he invited his friends on a grand adventure... and then the adventure blew up in their faces, forcing them all to run for their lives.

His guilt was unbearable, and it was deserved. These were the people he loved, and he'd destroyed their lives. Thanks to his thoughtlessness, they were fated to be branded as criminals, terrorists, monsters... unless he changed that fate somehow. Unless he made the world see them for what they were: some of the best and bravest people anywhere.

So he refused to let them fade away into the background. He found them a home in the biggest and brightest city in the new frontier. He made them into leaders, scientists and celebrities. He knew that would keep people from fearing them. Glamour and fame weren't options, they were necessities.

Because maybe by turning his friends into celebrities, he could be forgiven for taking their normal lives away.

Someday.”
