Canon is CW's Tomorrow People.

No.

Whatever you think you're doing? Don't. I'm not the guy you're looking for. I'm not - whoever it is you want me to be. I'm not even your species.

So take a step back. Mind your own business.

I find this show weirdly intriguing. It's probably mostly Jedikiah tbh

[tomarrow]

Why I wouldn't want to be locked up, because of what you made me do? How insightful.

[ Mun's considering sending him to a prison ship. Where he gets to make up for learning to kill. ]

I'm perfect. Thanks.

I feel like they're still trying to figure out what they want the show to be, really.

[jedikiah]

Please. You're not any freer hiding underground than you would be on that ship.

[ Jed can't really say anything, because he'd be in exactly the same position, and probably for a much longer term than John. ]

Convincing.

Yeah. But Jedikiah is mesmerizing, I would watch it just for him.

[tomarrow]

Yeah. [ Convincing. A slight grimace, from John. He never did do a good job hiding what he was feeling or thinking from Jedikiah. Safest to answer in only the most obvious, the most sarcastic ways. ]

At least off the ship, I have my powers.

[ Teleport as good as him can slip out of most traps. ]

Haha, yeah, Mark P. redeems everything. Episode 8 is Jed-heavy, too.

[jedikiah]

For all the good they've done you these past two months. [ Is that a chiding tone? Why yes, yes it is. ] You're getting careless.

Excellent! I've been keeping up on Hulu+

[tomarrow]

Not careless.

[ Yes, careless. He's said that to all of them. He wants them to be more disciplined, for their own safety. The fact that it's his own words coming out of Jedikiah's mouth gives him a sudden surge of disgust. ]

We're a little less willing to live like rats.

[jedikiah]

You were. I shouldn't have been able to trap you in that club, John.

[ Even now, with them on opposite sides, Jedikiah can't help but think better of John. He'd done well. He'd survived. ]

Then maybe you shouldn't invite them in.

[ Kurt Rundle should have been neutralized weeks ago. ]

[tomarrow]

I don't have time to vet them.

[ Not with Ultra nipping at their heels. They do their best with TIM, and that's it. Not that Jed needs to know that - if he doesn't know already.

He's not going to respond to the jab about the club, the party. He shouldn't have been there, it's true. He's so angry at them for going over his objection. At himself, for letting his caution down. ]

[jedikiah]

Delegate.

[ You want to be a leader, John? Then lead. You're everything Jed wanted you to be, you just have to step up to it. ]

Or it'll keep happening.

[tomarrow]

You're giving me advice now?

[jedikiah]

Haven't I always?

[tomarrow]

Now I know better.

[jedikiah]

That doesn't mean it's wrong.

[tomarrow]

Stop it.

[ He has anger, so much anger that it threatens to swallow him. This is another reason he wanted to get away from Jedikiah. Away, and never see him again. ]

[jedikiah]

[ Jed gives him a long, searching look. He knows that anger, had helped him harness it, and can't say he was wrong to do so. John would need it.

But at the same time... ]

You need to trust yourself, John.

[tomarrow]

I do.

[ - which is half a lie. He doubts himself, it seems, whenever the decisions get too important.

The people he protects, though: they don't. They don't trust him. ]
