PLOT - Future Children - Destruction and Morgan's Child
For one year, six months and twenty-three days things had been going on in Tampa and for almost the same amount of time the Endless had been here, trying to work out why, and how, and how to stop it.

For one year, four months and fifteen days there'd been reincarnates too and not long after that they'd started looking for answers, hitting books, watching and reading and discussing amongst themselves. Theories regularly bounced around the journals and the coffee shop but by and large no-one had sussed it yet, not really. A few were on more or less the right path but none had actually gotten there and even with the children around the research was slow-going because, really, it wasn't exactly obvious.

But as it happened it was Destruction that was the first to find out - no doubt, 100% certain - what the hell the city was up to and he hadn't exactly been looking at the time. All he'd been doing was walking down the beach and minding his own business and then his daughter had been standing in front of him; he knew exactly who she was before she'd even opened her mouth.

He knew what she was, and from the tiny detail he could see where everything was going, understood everyone's place in it. He could even predict certain things that would have to happen if the city was going to get what it wanted, some of them were probably happening already.

The only question now was whether he should tell everyone else.
