Olivia's magical son is coming to know more than she ever hoped and keeping his abilities a secret with a house full of nosey misfits is proving to be a lot harder than fighting evil.

She's wanted to tell her best friend, Jack, the truth of who and what she is, and why she came to earth for years, and this revealing situation makes her wonder if she should come clean. The Problem? He would choose to fight alongside her, like Winston, who only has a talisman to help him fight, putting him in a greater danger than supermundanes.

And what about the others? Mark telling her they're all good fighters in the alternate reality he visits doesn't help, especially when all that goes wrong here goes right there, and vice versa. How can she trust, by telling the truth, that any of them will be safe?

Olivia knows Jack would die for her, just as Lucy would die for Tom, as Winston would for Mark, but how can she allow Jack's involvement when he isn't supermundane, especially when her son is proving he has more powers than every supermundane already helping him.

Yes, Winston helped with the mission to eradicate the Disrupter for years after he found out the truth, and a talisman alone boded well for him thus far, but how could she live with herself if something happened to Jack, not to mention Lucy, who will no doubt want the same, and the rest of the permanent members of the home who are becoming more than suspicious about the supermundanes around them?

The idea of coming clean, after all this time, is terrifying. To allow Jack to fight alongside her, kickboxing champion or not, would be the hardest decision she's made thus far. He may be a first-class fighter, but kicking arse wasn't the same as fighting dark energy. The safety of those she loved was the main reason she said goodbye to her family, after all.

Knowing the reality of this life, the previous life, and the alternate future timeline, puts him, and all the housemates, in the hands of the evil Disrupter and his army, especially now he's about to receive the full extent of the power he possesses, and abilities he's stolen over the centuries, which he intends to use to not only gain the last ability he needs to destroy their eternal home, Omnipion, but to get rid of anyone or anything in his way, supermundane or not.

The members of the home may have strong wills, and the hearts to fight for a good cause, but is that enough? Allowing Tom to use his gifts just to defend himself is hard enough, especially when he uses them already upon instinct. Could the mundane helpers somehow get more power than just a true heart and a good talisman to protect them? Yes, if they went to the gateways and stole some, she supposed, which may help her with the fact that they were powerless, if they could fight the beasts at the gateways protecting them and survive, that was.

The danger of that not really being an option, she can only hope her unique gift, that reacts to her deepest wants, needs and desires, can come up with a better idea.

Where there was a will, she just hoped there was a way because whatever they faced, they may well be best doing it together, powers or not.
