"Well?" he demanded.
"Ike, I umm… look, I want to try something…"
"Try what?"
"Well, see, I've been doing some thinking, and well, my conclusion is that… I've been developing some sort of, I don't know, stronger Telepathy."
"Stronger Telepathy?"
"Yeah, umm, I think… I think I might be able to read people minds and stuff…" Taylor trailed off.
Isaac stared at him.
"Look, umm… would you mind if I tried on you? Just to see if I can of course, and I won't tell any one what I might find in there. And keep your block up… I think… I think I'm able to bypass it."
Isaac was silent for a moment.
"Sure, go ahead." He said finally.
Taylor smiled nervously. Then he took a deep breath and concentrated.
"Simone?" he asked a few minutes later. "You used to like Simone?"
Isaac stared at him in amazement.
"Yeah, but that was years ago. Before she became such an intolerable slut… wow man, I haven't been able to dig that deep in anyone's mind."
Taylor raised an eyebrow.
"Not that I ever went out and purposely tried to do it of course." He added quickly. "Wow, and to imagine you did it with my block up! Umm, you mind if I try and see how far I can dig in yours?"
"Block up or down?"
"Umm, down."
Isaac concentrated. A few minutes later he was shaking his head in disbelief.
"I can get your short term memory man, but not your long term." He gave his brother an incredulous look. "I can't believe this. This is way too amazing."
Taylor smiled wryly.
"Don't worry man, I'm not gonna go digging into people's mind without their permission, unless it's like an emergency or something."
"Good to hear it. I'd hate to know what you could dig up."
The brothers stared at each other for a moment.
"So, what are we calling this thing? Just Stronger Telepathy?" Isaac asked.
"Nah, I don't think so. It doesn't quite have the right ring to it." Taylor answered. "Besides, now that I've used it, I don't think it's so much stronger as it is… deeper."
"So, Deeper Telepathy? Or better yet, Deep Telepathy."
"Yeah." Taylor nodded. "Deep Telepathy."
