Editing Kevin Norton (section)

====[[Scion]]====
Kevin is scared of the control he has over Scion and the responsibility that comes with it. He used to talk to Scion in extended, one-sided conversations, talking about his past and current life.<ref name=":0">“He’d visit regular, right?  Stop by, like he was checking if I had anything else to say.  Maybe I’d tell him to be more gentle with people when saving them from a car crash, or after that horned bastard came climbing out of the ground and the golden man flew right past it to visit me, I told him he needed to ''help'' next time, to fight that monster and anything like it.  But sometimes I didn’t have anything to say, and it’s not like he obeys my every instruction down to the last detail, so sometimes he’d hang out here at half past four in the goddamn morning, and I couldn’t get rid of him, so I’d just ''talk''.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/interlude-18x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.x]]</ref> When Scion latched onto a word Kevin said, "Zion," which became misinterpreted as "Scion" and used as his name worldwide, Kevin realized the full weight of the power he held.<ref>“He never responded, barely ever paid attention when I opened my mouth to ramble about whatever.  But he was following the general orders I gave him.  Help people, do this more, do that less.  But I’m in the middle of talking to him about my childhood, about home, when he latches on something.  Head turns, eye contact.  Scares the shit out of me.  I go over it all over again, but it was five in the bloody morning and I couldn’t remember exactly what I’d said.  That is, I couldn’t until three days later, I happen to be in the right time and place, and I see a television in a store playing this clip that’s cropping up on the news.  The golden man says something for the first and last time.  Everyone seems to think he said Scion, and they latch onto it.  They’re wrong, but it ''sticks'', and the word appears on t-shirts and in music and people are talking about it ''here,'' where I live.  All because of one thing I said in some ramble of mine, the whole world changes.”<br><br>“That’s what scared you?”<br><br>“It was the wake up call.  Stupid, isn’t it?  Trivial.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/interlude-18x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.x]]</ref> Terrified, he cut off contact with Scion for twelve years.<ref>“I’m looking back, and I haven’t looked back in a long while.  Visiting home, so to speak.  Thinking about stuff I haven’t even told Duke about, these past twelve years.  You’ve given me a bump of morale at a time I needed it.  Thank you.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/interlude-18x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.x]]</ref> He feels intensely guilty about this decision, feeling like he had shirked his responsibilities by doing this.<ref>“Me, you ask?” Kevin said.  “No.  I don’t deserve much of anything.  What’s that line, about power and responsibility?  Most powerful man in the world, I have a bloody ''great deal'' of responsibility.  Sure, I go to bed hungry, I slept terribly during that one spell of body lice, but the thing that ''really'' costs me sleep is the idea I might have shirked my responsibilities.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/interlude-18x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.x]]</ref>
