Rumors tended to happen no what how much care had been taken, and it was clear that there were rumors about him being something more. At least that is what Laurie had heard. Inwardly, Jared sighed. It couldn't stay quiet forever, but Jared had no desire to share what he could do with the reporter right now. He didn't want that kind of attention. Eventually he would have it whether he wanted to or not, but Jared would rather delay that as much as possible.
Laurie questions were leading, and Jared knew she wanted him to reveal what she unknowingly already knew. Jared had of course seen the feed from Operation Jeddah in Casablanca. He knew what she was referring to, and he knew what the CCD operative had done. It was awe inspiring and humbling to see what eventually he himself could do, and it gave him an answer to her question.
"What would I say if people said I could save thousands of lives with a thought?"
The thought of all that had died in Masiaka came to him and with it compassion entered his eyes. "I'd say that is a skill I wish I had."
The truth spoken may not be the truth heard, and in this case the statement was accurate. Jared may have the potential to do what happened in Jeddah, but his own skill level wasn't anywhere near that level. It added a new sense of urgency to building his own power.
