Good wrap-up, Nan. I guess I forgot that Alan and Mark were the first "non-psychic" psychic partners, so the TU doesn't understand them, either. Poor Alan. Is he ever going to get a chance for his ankle to heal?
LOL at Mark's call to the Wolverine. Re part 9, I'm glad they finally ran into the good guys. Even with as strong of partners as they are, I don't know how long they could have kept away from the Jils when Alan didn't know so many basic things about controlling his powers. It's funny to me every time Alan takes on dinosaurs, trols, or Jils to save Mark. I realize he's an enormously powerful psychic, but it gives me a mental picture of a little chihuahua taking on a wolf in order to defend, oh, a German Shepherd.
Nan, I'm praying for your sister, too. I hope this turns out to be a much happier Christmas for all of you than you are fearing.
