Author's Note: Hello, everyone. First of all, let me apologize for not updating this sooner. I had an idea and I had no idea if you all would like it, so I've been procrastinating on it. I didn't mean for it to last a year, but as soon as I realized how long it's been, I decided to throw caution to the wind. So here we are with the introduction of one of Gravity Falls' biggest villains along with a creative character change to him to better fit Ms. Marvel into the story. I hope you like it.

Hope you all enjoy the story. Also, let's give a shout-out to Framraw, the Deviantart user who created my new cover art for this fanfic. Any and all comments are welcome.

While Stan was scamming tourists out of their money, Kamala sat in the living room with the Pines twins and Soos watching TV together.

"So the premise of this particular show is a tiger with a living human arm attached to its neck?" she asked.

"Tiger Fist!" Mabel shouted.

Kamala chuckled. "Gravity Falls never ceases to amaze me. Oh, wait. Here come commercials."

"Hey, look." Soos said just as soon as a commercial began to play. "It's the one I told you guys about."

Everyone watched as the commercial started with a crying man. A voice called from the background. "Are you feeling miserable?"

"Yes." The crying man answered.

"Then you need to meet…" The screen then changed to a silhouette of a mysterious figure. "Gideon."

"Gideon?" Dipper asked.

"What makes him so special?" Mabel asked.

"He's a psychic." The commercial voice answered.

"Aroo?"

"So don't waste your time with other so-called 'men of mystery'." The voice-over said just as a clip showed Stan leaving an outhouse. The screen then changed to a blue tent. "Learn about tomorrow tonight at Gideon's Tent of Telepathy."

"A psychic?" Kamala asked. "Is that even real?"

"Hey. Weirder things have happened in this town." Dipper pointed out.

"And I am getting all curious-y inside." Mabel added.

Suddenly, Stan walked in listening to the conversation. "Well, don't get too curious-y. Ever since that monster Gideon rolled into town, I've had nothing but trouble. Just the other day, he took the only parking spot available just when I was about to park there."

"Is he really psychic?" Mabel asked.

"I think we should go and find out." Dipper suggested.

"Might be worth a laugh at least." Kamala said.

"Never!" Stan rejected. "You're forbidden from patronizing the competition. No one that lives under my roof is allowed under that Gideon's roof."

"Do tents have roofs?" Dipper asked.

"I think we just found our loop hole… literally!" Mabel said holding up a string with a hoop tied at the end. "Mwop, mwop!"

"And technically, I don't live here," Kamala said, "So I'm fair game too."

Later that night, Kamala, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos joined a crowd into the Tent of Telepathy. Inside, they took seats that faced a stage.

"Whoa. This is like a bizarro version of the Mystery Shack." Dipper said.

"I know. They even have their own Soos." Kamala pointed toward a maintenance man that looked similar to Soos. The Mystery Shack handyman glared at him.

Just then, music began to play and the lights dimmed. All the attention was focused on the curtain-covered stage.

"It's starting." Mabel said excitedly.

"Let's see what this 'monster' looks like." Dipper said.

At first, a giant, intimidating shadow took up the majority of the curtain, but as it rolled away, the real appearance of Gideon appeared. Instead of a large, intimidating figure, Gideon was a small boy with blue clothes, a green bowtie, a cute face, and large, white hair.

"Hello, America! My name is Li'l Gideon!" He clapped and a flock of doves flew out of his hair.

"That's Stan's mortal enemy?" Dipper asked.

"But he's so wittle." Mabel said.

"Maybe he hates him for his youth." Kamala joked .

"Ladies and gentlemen," Gideon addressed the crowd, "It is such a gift to have you here tonight. Such a gift. I have a vidion. I predict you will soon all say 'aww'." He then made a cute pose.

"Aww!" most of the audience said.

"It came true!" Mabel gasped in awe.

"That doesn't count if he made it come true." Kamala said.

"Yeah." Dipper agreed.

"Hit it, Dad." Gideon called out to his father, Bud, who was playing on the piano. Gideon danced cutely to the music while singing along.

Gideon:

Oh, I can see what others can't see

It ain't some sideshow trick. It's innate ability

Where others are blind

I am futurely inclined

And you too can see

If you was widdle ol' me

"Come on, everybody! Rise up!" Gideon said clutching his bowtie and raising his hand up. "I want y'all to keep it going.

Suddenly, everyone in the audience, including the gang, rose up to their feet.

"What? How did he…" Dipper asked.

Gideon pointed over at an old lady in the audience. She was surrounded by a clowder of cats.

Gideon:

You wish your son would call you more

"I'm leaving everything to my cats!" the cat lady said.

Gideon then pointed at Sheriff Blubs, who was covered in all sorts of Gideon merchandise.

Gideon:

I sense that you've been here before

"What gave it away?" Blubs asked happily.

Gideon then jumped off the stage and approached Mabel.

Gideon:

I'll read your mind if I am able

Something tells me you're named Mabel

"How'd he do that?" Mabel asked completely forgetting that her name is on her sweater.

Gideon jumped back up to the stage to wrap up his song.

Gideon:

So welcome all ye

To the Tent of Telepathy

And thanks for visiting…

WIDDLE OL' MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Once the show had ended, Kamala and the twins stepped outside to talk while everyone else was heading to their cars.

"Man, that kid's n even bigger fraud than Stan." Dipper commented. "No wonder our uncle's jealous."

"Oh, come on. His dance moves were adorable." Mabel said. "And did you see his hair? It was like, whoosh!"

"Mabel, I can stretch myself like a rubber band." Kamala said. "How could you honestly think that rugrat's performance is more fantastic then all the things we've been through?"

"Ah, let her have this." Dipper said. "She's easily impressed."

The three of them left with Soos, but they didn't know that they were being watched. Gideon peeked outside the tent after overhearing everything they said.

The next day, Kamala headed down to her family's dining room. Her parents were already eating their cereal, so she poured a bowl for herself and joined them.

"So Kamala, you were out pretty late last night." Muneeba said.

"I know. I went to see that Tent of Telepathy with the Pines." Kamala explained.

"You mean the one with that psychic?" Yusef asked.

"He's not a psychic, Dad." Kamala said. "He's just some kid who's too adorable for anyone to be mad at."

KNOCK-KNOCK!

"I'll get it." Kamala said stepping away from the table. She walked over to the door and opened it only to find a crazy coincidence. The person at the door was none other than Li'l Gideon, the boy who the family was talking about.

"Howdy." He greeted.

"You?" Kamala asked. "What are you doing at my home?"

"I do apologize. I know we haven't formally met, but after yesterday's performance, I just couldn't get you out of my head."

"Uh… Thanks, I guess." Kamala said slightly weirded out.

"Actually, if you don't mind, I was hoping to have a chat with you." Gideon said. "I happen to have a subject that I'm sure you'd love to hear."

"Right now?" Kamala asked. "Look, sorry, but I can't. I gotta clock in at the Mystery Shack in an hour, and I don't think Mr. Pines would appreciate me ditching work to be with someone he hates."

"I understand. Stan's no fan of mine." Gideon said. "How about after work then? My family has a factory over at the cliffs. Meet me there?"

"Well… I don't see why not." Kamala said.

"Perfect. I'll see you there." Gideon said has he parted.

Kamala watched him leave with confusion filling her head. "What the heck just happened?"

When Kamala went to the Mystery Shack, the first thing she did was go to the living room and tell the Pines twins about her unexpected visitor.

"Why did you say yes to meeting him at some creepy factory?" Dipper asked.

"I don't know. I mean, he's a kid, and I thought it'd be kinda cruel if I turned him down." Kamala answered.

"Ooh. I wonder if there'll actually be some romance coming from this." Mabel said curiously.

"Romance? No way!" Kamala said. "I'm 16. He's probably 10. It's all kinds of weird."

"All right. Just be careful." Dipper said. "Guys tend to get the wrong idea."

Kamala met Gideon at the rooftop of the cliffside factory. The view had them looking at the entirety of Gravity Falls from above.

"Glad you could be here, Kamala." Gideon said. "If you need a better view, I got opera glasses." He pulled out a pair of opera glasses which he offered to her.

"Uh… No thank you." Kamala said.

"Suit yourself." Gideon said looking over the town from above. "I tell ya, when I'm up here lookin' down on them little ol' people, I feel like I'm the king of all that survey. I guess that makes you my queen."

Kamala's eyes popped. "Your what now?"

"I'm serious, Kamala. I'm speaking from the heart." Gideon said. "You make me feel complete." He moved his hand to touch hers, but she moved it away.

"Easy there, kid." Kamala said. "Look, I'm flattered and all, but I can't date you. The thing is, I'm…"

"Ms. Marvel?"

"No. I'm too old for…" Kamala stopped when she realized what Gideon said. She looked at him surprised. "Wait. What did you just say?"

"You heard me." Gideon said. "You're Ms. Marvel, the new superhero that's protecting Gravity Falls. Am I wrong?"

Kamala's eyes grew wider. "Uh.. I… Well…"

"Let me see if I got this right." Gideon said. "You came across a blue crystal that shattered. It released a blue gas that you inhaled. You were then covered in a strange cocoon, and when you finally emerged, you discovered that you had the ability to stretch. How was that?"

Kamala continued to stare with complete shock. She knew there was no hiding it anymore, so she had to say something else. "How do you know that?"

"Oh, I know plenty of things." Gideon said. "I know all about where your powers come from, where the crystals came from, and why you got powers while others didn't. And I'd love to tell you."

"Really?" Kamala asked loudly. "Tell me! It's been killing me for days!"

"Oh, I'll tell ya." Gideon said. "All you gotta do is give me a chance. Go on one date with me, and I'll tell you everything."

"You're extorting a date out of me?" Kamala asked.

"I'm just asking for a chance." Gideon said. "So, what do you say?"

Kamala was skeptical. She thought hard about it before looking back at him. "Just one date?"

"Just one. I swear on my lucky bow tie."

"Mmm… All right. You got a deal."

"Kamala Khan, you have made me the happiest boy alive!" Gideon cheered reaching out to hug Kamala. She just looked nervous in return.

"HE WHAT?!" Dipper shouted as soon as Kamala returned to the Mystery Shack. "Gideon knows you're Ms. Marvel?! How does he know?!"

"I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with what he knows the secret of my powers." Kamala said.

"So you're going on a date with him to get it?" Mabel asked.

"I don't have a choice. I've had these powers for days, and I'm nowhere near as close to finding the answers as I were when I started. I was just about ready to give up. Then Gideon came along. If it means I have to sit in the same restaurant table as him for a couple of hours in exchange for answers, I've got no other chance."

"Well… be careful." Dipper said.

Kamala sighed. "I will."

Kamala and Gideon sat across each other at a booth in an aquatic-themed restaurant. They were catered by a French waiter who didn't mind Gideon placing his feet on the table. Kamala looked across nearby where a horse was standing.

"I can't believe they let you bring in the horse you rose us on." Kamala said.

"Well, people have a hard time saying no to me." Gideon said. "Thanks for doing this with me, Kamala."

"Don't make this into a big deal." Kamala said. "I'm only here because you promised to tell me about my powers."

"Ah, yes. Your powers." Gideon sighed happily. "You know, I envy you, Kamala. I found one of those crystals, broke it, and inhaled as hard as I could. Though, sadly, I didn't gain anything. No chrysalis. No powers. Nothing. Guess I wasn't lucky enough. Glad to meet someone who is."

"So how did you know the crystals could grant powers in the first place?" Kamala asked.

"We'll get to that later." Gideon said. "But for now, let me just say this. Kamala, tonight's date was a complete success. And tomorrow's date promises to top this one in every way!"

Kamala was in the middle of drinking a glass of water, so when she heard that, she spit it out roughly. She coughed for a moment before finally able to speak again.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What?! You said only one date, then you'd tell me everything!"

"Hark! What a surprise! A red crested South American rainbow macaw!" As he said that, a giant bird landed and perched itself on Gideon's shoulder. He counted before it spoke.

"Kamala! Will! You! Accompany! Gideon! To! The ballroom dance! This! Thurbday!" Gideon shook the bird to correct it. "Thursday!"

The bird caught the attention of a nearby crowd, who closed in on the two with adoration. Kamala wanted to say no, but she heard the comments from the crowd putting pressure on her.

"Oh, so adorable."

"Gideon's got himself a girlfriend."

"Isn't she a bit old for him?"

"Who cares? I'm all for it!"

"I'm on the edge of my seat."

"This is gonna be adorable."

"If she says no, I will die from sadness."

"As a doctor, I can verify that that will indeed happen."

Kamala was trapped. She had no way out. So she had no choice but to give Gideon the answer he wanted.

Throughout the week, it's been the same routine. Kamala agrees to another date with Gideon. He'd go over the top. He'd never tell her what he promised her. He then puts her in a position where she has to agree to another date. Rinse and repeat. Kamala had never been more miserable, especially after being confronted by her boss during her work shift at the Mystery Shack. He took her to his living room for an earful.

"What the heck is this?" Stan asked harshly dropping a newspaper at Kamala's feet. She looked at the front page which featured her and Gideon strolling down the street while holding hands.

Kamala chuckled nervously. "Well, I believe it's called a newspaper. See, in the old days…"

"Don't be cute with me, Kamala!" Stan hissed. "I told you I didn't want any of you associating yourselves with that twerp! And now, I learn that you're his girlfriend now?"

"Mr. Pines, it's not what you think!" Kamala defended herself. "I don't want to date him! He has something I need, and he still hasn't given it to me!"

"I don't care what he has!" Stan shouted. "You have until this weekend to finally dump that brat! Otherwise, you're fired!" He stormed off after his threat letting Kamala slump on the couch.

Dipper and Mabel revealed themselves from around the corner revealed to have overheard the whole thing. They approached Kamala giving their sympathies.

"Normally, when I'm this upset, I'd hide myself in Sweater Town." Mabel said. "Though, I don't think that'll apply to you."

"Kamala, clearly, Gideon has no intention of telling you anything about your powers. I don't think he really knows that much at all." Dipper said. "It's not worth you ruining your life for an empty promise."

"I know." Kamala sighed. "But I don't know what to do. I try to break things off with him, and he reminds me of my powers. And to add more pressure, he gets me in a position where I have to say yes to another date. I don't know what to do."

Mabel's eyes lit up and she perked her head upwards. "Ooh! I have an idea! What if Dipper and I dump him for you?"

"Really?" Kamala asked raising herself from the chair. "You'd do that for me?"

"Of course. No creep keeps extorting dates out of our friends." Dipper assured.

Kamala sighed with a smile. "Thanks, guys. That means a lot."

That night, Gideon waited for Kamala at his reserved table in the Club. He looked over the menu when he heard someone clear his throat near him. He lowered his menu to look at the twin kids meeting him.

"Well, if it ain't Dipper and Mabel Pines." Gideon said. "How are you? You look good."

"Thanks. I've been glittering myself." Mabel said shaking her glittering sweater.

Gideon giggled. "I do admire your sparkly attitude. Too bad I'm taken."

"Yeah, actually, we're here to talk to you about that." Dipper said. "Look, Gideon. We've got to talk. Kamala isn't joining you tonight. She doesn't want to see you anymore. She's kinda… weirded out by you. No offense."

"That was a little harsh." Mabel commented.

"He has to hear it." Dipper said.

"So what you're saying is," Gideon said with a forced smile and a twitchy eye, "You've come between us."

"You're not gonna, like, freak out or anything, are you?" Dipper asked slightly nervous.

"Of course not. These things happen. Bygones, you know." Gideon said casually.

"Wow. You're taking it better than I thought you would." Mabel said.

"Thanks. Sorry again. But thumbs up, man." Dipper said before he and his sister turned to leave the restaurant.

Gideon kept his smile while whispering menacingly. "Thumbs up indeed, my friend."

Outside the Club, Kamala was pacing frantically until the Pines twins walked out. "How did it go? How did he take it?"

"He was pretty okay with it, actually." Dipper said.

"He… was?" Kamala asked confused at what she just heard. "That's something I never expected."

"Yeah. I thought he was going to read our minds with his psychic powers." Mabel said.

"Don't worry, Mabel." Dipper assured. "He's just a kid. He doesn't have any powers."

Kamala left with the Pines, but she looked back feeling uncertain about her situation.

The following day, at Kamala's home, she laid on her back on top of her bed. That's when her mother walked in. Kamala sat up so she would sit next to her.

"Kamala, I've heard rumors that you've been dating that child, Gideon. Is this true?" Muneeba asked.

Kamala sighed. "Technically, yes. But I didn't enjoy it."

"Then why did you?" Muneeba asked.

"It's… hard to explain really." Kamala said. "Let's just say he has something he promised to give me, but no matter how many dates I went with him, he never kept his word. It doesn't matter anymore though. Things are over between us now."

"I see." Muneeba said. "Well, I hope you let him down gently. He seems like a sensitive boy."

"Well… Actually, it wasn't me who broke the news to him." Kamala confessed. "Dipper and Mabel did it for me. Though, it still makes me uneasy."

"You had someone else do it for you?" Muneeba asked. "Well, that's your mistake. If someone else dumps someone for you, then there's still going to be unresolved issues between you and him. If you want to have closure, you've got to do it yourself face to face."

"Really?" Kamala asked. "Yeah. I guess that's the funny feeling I'm having. Thanks, mama. I gotta go find Gideon and do it face to face." She got out of bed and headed out of the house.

Muneeba saw her run out and sighed. "My daughter, already a heartbreaker."

Kamala knew where she had to go. She figured that Gideon would be at his favorite spot in the city, the place where he would look down on Gravity Falls: his factory. She stopped for a moment just as she was outside and took a deep breath. She rehearsed what she was going to say in her head while the sun set.

"'Gideon, we need to talk. First of all, sorry for sending Dipper and Mabel to break up with you for me. That was really…' Okay, not the best one. 'Gideon, I…" Wait, what?"

She stopped when she noticed a blue glow coming from the other side of one of the factory windows. She rushed over and looked inside to where she could see what was happening. And what she saw was terrifying.

Inside the factory, Gideon was attacking Dipper and Mabel. But not in a conventional way. Gideon held onto his bow tie tightly making it glow blue. Several boxes around him had a similar blue glow, and with a wave of his hand, they flew toward the kids. He managed to catch the two making them hover in the air in front of him.

"Gideon, stop it!" Mabel pleaded.

"Kamala's never going to date you, man!" Dipper yelled.

"That's a lie!" Gideon shouted. "And I'm going to make sure you never lie to me again, friends!" That's when he levitated a pair of lamb sheers from the box next to him. He raised it up ready to cut the two of them in half.

Kamala saw enough. She wound up her hand preparing to throw a punch. She threw it and let it crash right through the window. Gideon looked back at the sound of the glass breaking only to find the fist flying toward him. He was too late to respond in any way. It knocked him backwards making him crash into a pile of cardboard boxes. Dipper and Mabel dropped finally free from the amulet's magic hold.

Gideon groaned as he got out of the box pile. He then looked up stunned at Kamala shooting daggers at him from above. He chuckled nervously seeing her.

"Kamala, my marshmalla. What are you doing here?" Gideon asked. Suddenly, Kamala shot her hand and snatched onto Gideon's amulet pulling it out of his bowtie. "No! Wait! What are you doing?!"

"What am I doing?!" Kamala asked. "I came here to have an honest talk with you, and I find you trying to kill my friends!"

"He lured me here with a fake expose!" Dipper yelled.

"He lured me here with candy!" Mabel yelled.

"Kamala, I had no choice." Gideon said. "They tried to tear us apart. The Pines family are turning you against me."

"No, Gideon!" Kamala shouted. "Dipper and Mabel aren't the ones with the problem with you! I am! I don't want to date you! I never wanted to date you! I never will want to date you!"

"What?!" Gideon gasped. "No, no! Don't you see? We're the ultimate power couple! Me with my resourcefulness. You with your powers. Together, we'd rule Gravity Falls."

Kamala stared in shock before groaning. "Oh, I see. So that's what this is about. You don't care about me. You just like me for my powers. You said so yourself, you tried to get powers and it didn't work. So now, you want to cling yourself onto whatever other sources of power you can find. Whether it's an stretchy girlfriend or a telepathic amulet like this!"

"Please, give it back to me!" Gideon yelled trying to take the amulet back, but Kamala threw it over to Dipper.

"Ha! Not so powerful without this, are you?" Dipper asked before getting surprised by a sudden tackle by Gideon. It made him drop the amulet.

The two boys crashed through a window that was hung over the cliff. Out of panic, Kamala rushed through the same window and jumped through. She flew down seeing Dipper and Gideon slap each other. With her powers, she shot her arms down and stretched them so she would catch the two. However, she realized she failed to plan a landing strategy. She, Dipper, and Gideon braced themselves when they got closer to the ground.

All of a sudden, they stopped. The three of them realized they were hovering just a foot from the ground with a blue glow surrounding them. They then looked up to see Mabel hovering them with the magic amulet in her had. She gently set everyone down before landing herself.

"Whoo. That was a fun bit of magic." Mabel said. "Well, that was fun while it lasted." She threw the amulet down on the ground letting it shatter once it hit a rock.

"My powers!" Gideon gasped just as Kamala grew her hand and used it to push Gideon and pin him to a nearby tree.

"Get this through your thick conditioned head, Gideon! It's over! I will never, ever date you!"

"No! You can't! You need me!" Gideon yelled out. "I'm the only one with the answers about your powers! If you dump me, I'll never tell you!"

"Big deal! You wouldn't tell me even when I did date you!" Kamala said. "But it doesn't matter. If you can figure it out, then that means there is a way. So what do I need you for?" She removed her hand to release him. "Now go away! And if you ever try to hurt my friends again, you'll find out firsthand just how powerful I am!"

Gideon growled and began to walk away. "Oh, this isn't over. This isn't the last you'll see of wittle... ol'… me."

Once the kids returned to the Mystery Shack, they slumped down on the couch. That's when Stan walked in on them noticing their tired, worn out appearance.

"Whoa. What happened to you three?" Stan asked.

"Gideon."

"Gideon."

"Gideon."

"Gideon." Stan growled. "Yeah, I passed by him on the way here. The little mutant swore revenge on the whole family. Haha. I guess he's gonna try to nibble my ankles or something."

Dipper laughed as well. "Yeah. How's how's he gonna destroy us now, huh? Try to guess what number we're thinking of?"

"He'll never guess what number I'm thinking of." Mabel said. "Negative eight! No one would guess a negative number!"

Kamala chuckled. "I guess now, all he's got is a stack of tarot cards. That's adorable, right?"

"Yeah!" Stan laughed harder with the others. "Look out! He's planning our destruction right now!"

In his room, Gideon had finished painting a little replica of the Mystery Shack along with little wooden figurines resembling Kamala, Stan, Mabel, and Dipper. In that same order, he mimicked their lines.

"Gideon, I still love you. If only my friends weren't in the way."

"Look at me. I'm old and I'm smelly."

"He's as harmless as the kittens I wear on my sweater now."

"Hey, what are you going to do without your precious amulet?"

Gideon chuckled using his real voice again. "Oh, you'll see. You'll see." He proceeded to reach out and close a certain book. It looked nearly identical to the old journal that Dipper had, only instead of the number three, there was a number two written on the six-fingered hand symbol.

Suddenly, Gideon was alerted by a clock that beeped loudly beside him. He sighed and silenced it before grabbing a silver tray. It had a small glass of water and a small amount of gruel on it. While carrying it, he passed by his dad in the living room and proceeded further down to the basement. It was nearly dark save for the dimly-lit lanterns.

Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, Gideon stopped at a large, iron cage which was in front of him. There was a small, thin slot beneath the front door which he used to slip the tray through. He then proceeded to set the glass of water through the iron bars.

"Dinner time." Gideon said.

Just then, a tall, thin man approached from the darkest part of the cage. He crouched down to the tray to examine it. He wore a worn-out, old, black-and-silver jacket and his messy hair was black. He narrowed his eyes down on his supper before glaring at Gideon.

"What is this?" he hissed. "This is only half of what you usually get me."

"Consider it your punishment." Gideon said. "You told me all I had to do was promise Kamala I would tell her everything you told me about the Terrigen crystals and she would date me!"

"No! I told you it'd be fun to see you try." the crazy-looking man said. "It's not my fault she has standards. Face it, you human brat. You can't have it all."

"Yes, I can." Gideon hissed. "Just you wait. With everything I made you give me, I will have it all. Power. Gravity Falls. And yes, even Kamala. So eat up, Maximus. We've got work to do." With that, Gideon turned and returned upstairs.

The crazy man called Maximus took the small bit of gruel in his hand and growled. "You insolent worm. Watch your back. You continue to make an enemy of me and the entire Inhuman race. One day, you will slip. All the power you have will be taken away. Everyone who adores you will turn against you. And once you're out of the picture, then I will step in. And when I'm done with your pathetic, little town and the rest of the world of humans… you won't even recognize it."
