"I don't want to talk about it!" In the back of her head, Cassie knew she sounded like a toddler have a temper tantrum but she couldn't help it. This was far to personal. "I was perfectly happy not knowing who the dead beat was that got my mom pregnant and then didn't even bother to check on his offspring. I was more then happy to think I'd earned my powers when I asked for them from Zesus, but now I can't help but think he gave them to me out of some sort of guilt or misguided parental prerogative."

But most important of all to her, "I know this might be hard for you to understand but I was perfectly happy not knowing who my father was."
