This was a fantastic fic loved the interplay and dialog between the characters.
Thanks! I had lots of fun with the characters and the dialogue :)
Your idea that all Specials can recognize each other on an instinctual level is a stroke of genius. Not unlike in vampire fiction where vampires can always recognize other vampires on sight.
Absolutely, vamps can always tell :D I'd been thinking about how in the show specials seem sort of drawn to each other. If you think about specials as a new subspecies then subconsciously recognising each other and being drawn together would make sense. That way they'd be more likely to group together for protection and as couples/family groups.
Telepaths would likely be distrusted and feared by both normals and non-telepathic Specials alike. Making things doubly dangerous for Matt. Also making him both their greatest asset and weakest link at the same time. Matt's growing powers and "tom-catting" could prove to be a problem for them in the future.
I think telepathy would make most people very, very nervous. How can you trust someone who can find out everything about you, control you, and you'd never know?
