Marc and Alana React

By Mitchell Slepian

The new parents took their children home. Alana fed them. Marc was pondering. On the ride home, the two discussed what they created. They knew their offspring would have powers. But never in their wildest dreams did they think their powers would be off the charts. Marc watched Alana’s video again. He was concerned about what would happen when the kids were playing with other children and might get annoyed, or if a kid picked on them. Would they be like Dr. Robert Bruce Banner and Hulk out? How would they teach them to use their powers only when needed? Marc and Alana never used theirs unless necessary. Anat did when she first became powerful and was evil. Once she turned, she was low-key. The twins could be a problem.

Alana put the kids in their respective cribs and sat on Marc’s lap. She brought him a glass of Chenin Blanc. She had her own glass. This was from a bottle she purchased at City Winery. It was not from her superpowers. She usually fought with red wine. But mixed things up to make it interesting. The two started kissing. The kids started to cry, and they got up to see why.

They were relaxed when they saw the babies were just being kids. They should be full. A quick diaper check said all was clean. In their minds, the two children were plotting their next episodes. They had no idea how strong they were. They thought what they did to Jay was normal. It was self-defense. Jay did attack them and tried to hurt their parents. In their young minds everyone was like them. Sadly, that’s not the case.
