If Mits could read Wraith's mind, she'd pass along the secret to how a scatterbrain like herself managed to get Zen enough to learn Space Samurai Sorcery. But judging from from Lin's reading, he did just fine without any coaching. And boy does her reading sound
very familiar. (If admittedly
way more poetic than the Mittens version.)
Flashback:
Miss Adventure grins at her favorite junior detective. "You kidding? You're destined to become the best superhero! You're what, 8? And already you can sneak up on a hyper kitty who knows to be listening for you! You're gunna be like Batman by the time you grow up. Only even better! Like, imagine if Joker never even knew what Batman looks like. Because he's too busy running from all the other villains who think he betrayed them. And his enemies never even find there was someone in the shadows manipulating them! With the skills you're developing, you don't even need a superpower to kick evil in the tail even more effectively than the big name supers!"
So turns out an 8 year old with that level of skill
is a superpower. Shoulda known.
Daystar's words patch Mittens' rebooting brain. Pop culture references were just the thing she needed to restore her signature grin. Of course now she's going to have Yoda singing about seagulls replaying over and over in her mind for the rest of the day.
Ethan's words trigger a light bulb over Mittens' head.
"Just a theory. Maybe wishful thinking. But what if the one who stole The Necklace of Osiris has a mind to use it to build Earth an army of undead defenders? Most likely they'll turn around and try to take over the world with it as soon as the aliens are repelled, but stil..."
Great. Now Seagull Yoda is singing the Pinky and the Brain theme.
"Yuppers! Mittens is, in fact, Miss Adventure. The same who, with the help of the Motley Crew of the Rogue Star, exposed the machinations of Galactic Councilbeing ᔕᒸᕨᕱᓏᖴᗗᓦᓾᓎᘙ before its malicious legislation could cause any harm. Still surprises me how very human aliens are once you get past the cosmetic differences."
Mits winces at Wraith's suggestion that he unmask. Even among such fantastic trustworthy heroes as these, he's probably underestimating the ramifications.
"Not going to tell you how to live your life, Wraith, but uh... Considering your particular superpower, I would strongly encourage you to keep your secret identity a mystery. No going back once the cat's outta the bag. And think of how much more fun it'll be for these heroes if you retain your mystique."
After having given very careful thought to how to word what she wants to say to Bill, she steps up on a step stool to be able to whisper in his ear, very quietly,

"I know two experts who specialize in bringing around folks like your dad. Been at it for decades. I'll be happy to introduce you to them if you like."
