He was glad she had stayed, he was looking forward to seeing how she would react to his second gift to her. She did not reply to him so he continued. "You see, before you were born, me and my people conducted some experiments on your mother to see if we could give you abilities easier than giving abilities to that of a fully formed child. The experiments were a success and once you were born you had amazing powers with which we tested you again and again to see what you were capable of. This is why you have the nightmares you do. My men may have been a bit rough on you. But you seem to have grown up just fine." He smirked. "My other experiments on the other hand seemed to not have handled the processes very well. Jack for example." 

Shirley kept on. "Your mother and father took you away from us so you could live a normal life. Which, we allowed. In any case. We are so glad to have found you again. You have really grown up to be something incredible. Furthermore... We can help you. We can make you even more powerful, we can get rid of your nightmares. We can help you help more people. Would you like that?"
