[Kevin gives a soft laugh and shakes his head, a gesture to say, "You have no idea." Kevin's been practicing lately - a lot. His powers have become honed, more controlled, and ultimately, more dangerous. He still can't touch anything without it withering and eventually dying, of course, but he's learned some degree of control. Including his ability to dampen fire. There isn't much John could do to hurt Kevin right now -- at least, when it comes to his powers over fire. He still could put on a heavy glove and punch Kevin in the face. That'd hurt him plenty.]

Listen, you gonna stick around, or just make little jabs at me now? Because if it's the second, I'd rather cut the formalities and get moving us out again.

[There's a small twinge of sadness - Kevin tries to mentally force that thought away - when he means The New Brotherhood when he said us.]
