I was confused why Sterling would want to talk to me, especially since they had just escaped and Jared was in poor condition. We went to my quarters and closed the door.
"I remember you saying something about your ancestors inter-species marrying with the aliens."
"but you weren't . . ." I then remembered him saying something about studying us from space, "go on."
"Well, you said that your ancestry taught generation after generation that the 'gene' was missing. That simply isn't true. Your ancestors were trying to protect their posterity from the government, essentially. It isn't really a gene at all. But for the sake of keeping things simplified let's pretend it is. They simply made the trait go dormant, if you will. All you need to do is make it manifest itself in you and you will have the magic as well. Not only that, you are more purebred than any of the children here (with the exception of Jared and Kindra). Unfortunately, your family line does not just include you. Once others discover what I am about to tell you, then there will be a sudden outburst of magic users. More than anyone can comprehend, but hey it will make genealogy a breeze for you." he joked.
"So, what is it?" I persuaded, "what is the secret to unlock my powers?"
"Lima Beans."
"what?"
"you heard what I said, Lima Beans."
"But I hate Lima beans."
"So do a lot of other people, that is why the powers have remained dormant for so long."
"But I've eaten them before, that's how I know I hate them."
"You can't simply eat them."
"I don't understand."
"You will."
With that he left the room. I was dumbfounded, I didn't know what else to do but run after him and demand he tell me.

silly? yes. it was all I could think of, the character is based off my brother and the only food he will not eat is lima beans. I haven't quite decided what you have to do with them, but hopefully it will come to me. the story needed some comic relief.
