Save the Cheerleader, Destroy the World
Abhaya Bhatnagar recalls how she met Jamart Ærts in an email to Claire Petrelli dated May 2, 2012. Abhaya had travelled to Billund, Denmark, in search of a man or "dragon" who could breathe fire, but the inspiration of the rumors was in fact Jamart Ærts, an evolved human who could blow air with great force. A local woman showed Abhaya a video of Ærts putting out a small oven fire in a café simply by blowing on it. The next day, the LEGO Factory caught fire, and Ærts used his ability to blow it out. Unfortunately, the exertion required to extinguish a fire of that magnitude took a toll on his body and Ærts collapsed. Paramedics arrived at the scene, but refused to treat Ærts once they were told that he was an evo. The exact phrase used that a local translated for Abhaya was that they "only treat people, not mutants". Abhaya reflects on Jamart's heroism and tells Claire that she worries what kind of world their children will inherit.
