"I spent two days at Princeton before coming here," Sam said. Technically he had spent some time in Egypt just before coming here too, but he didn't think that was necessary to mention to everyone.

"Before that, it was in a place called Tranquility. And I didn't have any superheroes, ninjas, cyborgs, wizards, or time travelers outside of fiction."

He did have giant, alien robots, but he never said he didn't have those. Sam wasn't exactly hiding that fact from people, just from Cassie, and since Cassie was in this world right now, he was trying to keep that information to a minimum.

"Well, except time travelers in the way that everyone is a time traveler because we move forward in time. That usually doesn't count though."
