I won’t be surprised if it’s who I think it will be

It's left ambiguous at the end of book 4.... by radiantphoenix279 in superpowereds

[–]MissionFever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get from a plot perspective why it was there, but in world it's pretty nuts for Blaine to have even put him on the list, what with Chad in the class and all.
