He nearly laughs at that. No, he doesn't think knowing how terrified he should be of him will earn him favors. Namely that he's 45 years older than he looks, and he's killed countless people, because that's usually what he thinks of first. And he'd rather avoid it, but he knows he'd murder this man too if he thought it'd help to find his family and get them home. -- Though he can understand why he'd be curious.

"At this point, I've told you more than you've told me." Fortunately, Five has a card to play, looking like he does. There's a lot of history he can leave out. "I was adopted. Bought by an eccentric billionaire. We were born with abilities, and he had some grand idea that we were going to save the world."

All true. Maybe he'll regret saying that much, but he's seen enough that saying he has 'abilities' isn't going to shock them. Besides, they were celebrities in their younger days, so it's no great secret. They had their own comic books and everything.

"I had six siblings. One died... a while ago. I've been trying to save the rest of them." He should feel ashamed dragging up Ben for sympathy, but it felt important to mention him since he'd named the others. Just because he wasn't around for it, doesn't mean he hasn't thought about him. Thinking that's a good enough summary, he gives him an expectant look.

"So. I can see why I'd be a target. What about you?"
