You're gonna have to be more specific.

[gravemistake]

What you did to those employees.

[personalwar]

I didn't know what I was doing until it happened, for the record. But I've heard that's how most people's powers manifest here.

[gravemistake]

So you know what it is now.

[Or is Gabriel going to have to say it?]

[personalwar]

I mean, I have a guess. It's not something I'm going to go around testing, unless you're volunteering.

[gravemistake]

I'm not. We'll have to find someone for you to practice on, though, if you want to get any better at it.

[personalwar]

I'm not going to consciously do that to anyone else.

[ Gabriel's the only person he'd feel comfortable inflicting that on. ]

[gravemistake]

Only you would end up with an incredibly useful power and refuse to use it.

[personalwar]

Have you figured out what yours is yet?

[gravemistake]

Yep.

[personalwar]

And you're not going to share that vital information, I'm guessing.

[gravemistake]

You never asked!

[personalwar]

All right, Gabriel. What's your power?

[ Jack's asking with an expectation that he won't get a real answer. But fine, he'll humor him. ]

[gravemistake]

Driving you crazy, obviously.

[personalwar]

All right. If we're not going to have a conversation about yours, then we don't need to talk about mine either.

[gravemistake]

No, I don't actually know mine yet. We should still talk about yours because it is a GAME CHANGER

[personalwar]

I don't believe you.

[gravemistake]

If I knew what my power was and it was even halfway useful I'd be using it all the time unlike SOME PEOPLE

That's how you know I'm telling the truth.

[personalwar]

And who's to say you haven't been using it?

[gravemistake]

What sort of power do you think I have that I'd be able to hide from you this long?

[personalwar]

What kind of question is that? Do you really think I'd believe you were incapable of hiding something from me?

[gravemistake]

Look, we're in this together. I've got no reason to keep anything from you.

[personalwar]

I'm pretty sure you've always got a reason to keep something from someone.

[gravemistake]

Yeah, but not from you. I learned my lesson. We need to be on the same page if we want to figure out what's going on here.

[personalwar]

[ Jack wants to believe it, he really does. But something deep down tells him that he shouldn't. ]

If I see a way that my power can be put to good use, then I'll go for it. But I'm not using it on other Displaced.
