It was the world against us, and we always won. When we grew older-”

“You went into prostitution and blackmail. Silas, well, he worked as a gun for hire, until he decided to join Deliverance. There are warrants for the capture of the both of you,” Gabriel said.

“Well, yes, but you two can't bring me in, so what exactly is your point?” Sabrina said, her tone noticeably frosty.

“There isn't one, but don't try and sell what you both do as noble. You are driven by money, your brother by power,” Gabriel said.

“Well, lets try and keep it cheerful shall we?” Henry said.

“Cheerful? Why are you in such a good mood, given that for all this to have happened, your father must have been killed tonight? You were aware of that, weren't you?” Sabrina said.

It hit him like a tide of hailstones, leaving him no place to shelter. His father was dead? How could his father... be dead? Did Gabriel know? If he did, he would have said something, right? His father couldn't be dead. She was lying.

Henry stared at Gabriel. She wasn't lying.

“Henry, look at me,” Gabriel said, grabbing Henry by both shoulders as his world began to unravel. “The man you call your father is not dead. He is fine and well, probably at home with your mother and that stupid fluffy excuse of a dog, but Sabrina didn't lie to you. Your father, your biological father was killed tonight. It's how this works, it's why I came to find you. He dies, you get your abilities, it's the rules of the game. Henry, he told me to find you. Now, it's a lot to take in, but-”

“A lot to take in! You tell me that my mother and father lied to me my entire life and expect me to be calm about it?” Henry said.

“No, they didn't lie to you. The people you call your mother and father believe beyond anything that they are your real parents. Nobody ever questioned it, not even you and you're the proclaimed questioner of everything. Surely you can appreciate you don't exactly look alike? Before you were born, your real father knew this life would not be safe for you, so tried to free you from it. Your mother died in childbirth and, in that moment of pain, he created an escape plan for you. He had a mentalist change your parents memories so they thought you were theirs, after finding a couple who were looking to adopt. Mark has been killed, I don't know how yet, but at that moment your abilities switched on. I'm sorry kid.”

There was so much to take in, too much.
