Lorna's parents were utterly ordinary people, with no special genes or superpowers whatsoever. But the little girl in Salomon's arms possessed extraordinary abilities due to genetic mutations. According to Athena's examination results, the mutations in these children's bodies even appeared and disappeared intermittently, making their superpowers extremely unstable. After a certain amount of time, however, those mutations would vanish completely.
Salomon believed this was the result of multiple realities caused by Parallel World Interference. He had always had one question before: where had the mutants gone? Now he more or less understood. Mutants simply did not exist in this world. The parallel-world counterparts of the children Athena had taken in were probably mutants. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the origins of these genetic mutations and superpowers.
Lorna Dane in particular—Salomon knew her name, because in another world, her codename was "Polaris." Now that she no longer had superpowers, it was not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, under Athena's care, she could live out her life in peace. Of course, it was also possible for mutants to appear if the effects of the interference were relatively stable, provided such mutants were incredibly powerful—like the Scarlet Witch. Once he realized this was the result of Parallel World Interference, these children became subjects of Salomon's observation as well, making his life far more fulfilling.
At least he could mentally distance himself from those classmates with multicolored parasitic creatures perched atop their heads.
Salomon's daily schedule now went like this: after breakfast in the morning, he put on the casual clothes chosen by the Sorcerer Supreme, whose fashion sense was always excellent, and Cassilius drove him to school in London. School ended at three in the afternoon, after which he went to Athena's apartment for art lessons, then visited
