Banning them from using their powers in public is only half of the solution. It’s also important to give them an explicit safe space where they are allowed to use their powers, instead of just trying to ignore those powers as much as possible in an attempt to maintain “normality”.
Their official scheduled Echo lessons are an important part of this, of course, but it’s also important for them to have a place they can play around and experiment outside of the formal lesson plan, when their tutors are busy elsewhere. Kids (and adults, really) need opportunities to play, and trying to deny it will just make things worse in the long run once the dam bursts.
Come on, they were scorch marks, not holes! I’m sure they didn’t go all the way through :p
And they were accidents! …or target practice, I guess. You never know. After a while, I’m sure you stop caring all that much about the scorch marks on the wall; and just get curious if you can nail the same spot twice.
Thank goodness, a voice of reason. They’re ten; that’s old enough to be given an age appropriate explanation of “if you mess around with this in the wrong way, they WILL take you away from us.”
Another worsr case scenario: what if it is a special combination of Todd and Andi’s DNA and they either force them into having more kids or harvest their sperm and ovum to grow their own super soldier army
I survived getting hit by a truck going 60 MPH in part because I have a rare condition that gives me super-dense bones (when they were measuring just how dense the tech told the assistants to take that chunk of concrete out of his machine (me) and put in a human being). My brother did not inherit this condition and neither did any of my kids as attested to by their many broken arms, ribs, and clavicles.
That is good to know! I wasn’t trying to rule 34 bait; whatever that means, and good to know your comic won’t go that dark Dave 🙂 Thank you for the reply!

Why do I think this is going to lead to an Echo Dojo space?
That should go on every child’s veto list!

Too gross for this comic.
