The confirmation came from three different continents simultaneously when Hope's network found matching Fae dimensional signatures, and watching the evidence compile in real-time while my four-and-a-half-year-old coordinated global response was—I mean we'd barely recovered from the last dimensional crisis and apparently the universe had decided we weren't done yet.
"North America: Confirmed Fae signature in Vancouver region." Hope read reports as they came in. "South America: Fae signature confirmed in Amazon dimensional pocket. Europe: Fae signature confirmed in British Isles. Asia: Still analyzing but preliminary match at ninety-eight percent confidence."
Ninety-eight percent. Right. This wasn't speculation anymore. Fae were actively manipulating global dimensional fabric.
"How many are we talking about?" Because that determined threat level. "How many Fae survived the prison collapse?"
