Stephen felt he had seen enough. He pulled out from her mind, and he felt himself inhale deeply. Genesis was still unconscious, as he wiped sweat from his forehead. The doctor felt his stomach clench, and he stood up. He hurried out of the room, and looked for Wong. Wong had been in their book room, studying silently. The look on Stephen's face made him stand from where he sat.

"Strange, what is it?"

"I think..Kaecilius is her father," he whispered.

Wong narrowed his eyes. "He, what?"

'He's Genesis' father. I saw it in her memories."

Wong went up to Stephen and held his shoulders. "Have you told her?"

Stephen shook his head. "She hasn't woken up yet."

"Perhaps you shouldn't tell her," Wong advised, carefully.

"Wong, she's...she made the room shake and I could feel a part of Dormammu in her mind. I think he has something to do with this. Kaecilius being her father is a huge clue."

"The mystic arts is not something inherrited through blood, Strange. One must be taught."

"No, I mean that Dormammu might have left a part of himself here on Earth when I stopped him. Kaecilius was his most loyal disciple. It makes sense for Dormammu to use his daughter as a bridge back to Earth."

Wong shook his head. "That was some time ago, Strange."

Stephen began to pace the room. "Maybe he didn't leave a bridge for himself..."

"But for someone else," Wong realized.

"But who?"

"We have to train her to protect herself," Wong concluded, "You must-"

Stephen held up his hand in disagreement. "No, we have to protect her. The more she uses this power, she might draw unwanted attentionto herself."

Wong glanced at Stephen's sling, and tried hard not to argue. Training Genesis would require the best, and that was Stephen. But he was injured, and Wong suspected it was in more ways than he was willing to admit. Feeling useless, Wong shook his head. "Very well. But, you must teach her how to protect herself. If the worst should happen, she will need it."

Nodding, Stephen made his way back to the room where Genesis slept. He gave her a small nudge, waking her up. She rubbed her eyes and quickly asked, "What did you see?"

"I was right. You're cursed."

"What?"

"Dormammu left a curse on this planet before I managed to stop him. He hoped it would allow him a bridge to this planet once again. He left the bridge with you, it seems."

Genesis looked at her hands and then at Stephen. "What the hell does that mean?"

"It means we have to protect you. We don't know what powers you have, so we'll have to figure that out right away."

"But, what about my parents?"

Stephen held her hand, and swallowed. "I'm really sorry. I didn't see anything."

She lowered her eyes, sighing. He rubbed her knuckles with his thumb. Genesis shook her head. "So, how do we figure out this whole powers thing?"

"You made the furniture move the last time you got in touch with them. Try doing it again."

Genesis didn't really know what she did last time, but she tried anyway. She set her mind and tried to picture the furniture moving. Nothing happened. She closed her eyes and Stephen looked around to see if anything moved. She scoffed in frustration and a lamp's bulb exploded.

Stephen jumped and gave a small chuckle. "You did something."

"But, I don't know what I did."

He tried to think as he sat up. Genesis looked up at him for an explanation.

"Maybe it's based on your emotions. It'll be tricky, so bear with me. Sometimes the mind is easily influenced by our emotions and our body can react to it."

Genesis raised an eyebrow, confused. "'Example?"

"Well, sometimes, the heart can start beating faster when we're angry or excited. It's a part of the brain called the Limbic System."

A part of Stephen felt good to be talking about the human body once again. After what seemed an eternity ago since he worked in the hospital. Genesis somewhat understood and nodded. "So, I have to make sure I don't let my emotions control my powers?"

"Yes, but it's important to remember that it's not about hiding your emotions. It's about learning to cope with them."

He held out his hand and she took it. "We'll work through this."

She lowered her eyes and he lifted her chin. "Hey...what's wrong?"

"My parents."

She couldn't even look at him. She didn't want to cry so she blinked her eyes several times. Stephen did the only thing he could think of. He wrapped his good arm around her and hugged her. Genesis hugged him back and she let herself cry. Only a little. Stephen explained that he would do what he could to help her defend herself, but the idea of her using her powers concerned him. Over the next several weeks, they would practice and practice as much as they could, unaware of what lay ahead.
