Booker had just served himself a bowl of beans from the pot when Odessa asked her questions and he paused with a frown before slowly leaning back against the wall. The frown remained as he answered, giving the matter thought. "I don't believe Damage is a threat to us, unless it's accidental. He's large and grumpy, but at the same time, he could have easily killed us right there if he had wanted to."

"Moreover," Booker continued, setting his bowl aside for the moment, "he talked with us like civilized people. He gave his name. And he even offered Sierra something in exchange for her help. That means he has a sense of fairness that extends to us. Given time, there's the potential for an alliance, but it's not something to count on. Still, not an enemy."

He picked up his bowl again and took a bite. The warm food felt good after a morning of action with no breakfast. "One last thing. If you're making those sorts of contingency plans, you better make them for everyone. There are some pretty crazy powers out there and it's hard to be sure who you can really trust. I certainly can't wrap myself in a ball of energy to fly or use my blood to heal."
