	"Dad has had to slow down a bit." She makes a slight face. "He isn't happy about it but he hurt his back. Has to take it easy. He doesn't like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nodded and leaned back in her seat. "He also worries Mom. He pushes himself too hard... And." She sighs loudly. "I couldn't go in when he hurt his back. My powers sometimes mess up electronics. It's only when I get emotional though. I spark." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"... I know the feeling, actually. I'm a mutation-dampener, and when I was younger I couldn't control it, and sometimes my friends were relying on their mutations for their health." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh man," she shakes her head. Then lifts a brow. "Do you keep your powers turned off normally now that you can.... keep them under-wraps?"

	"That's why I'm careful about physical contact," she says with a faint nod. "I can damage things that are... important. It's horrifying. But I've never had full control over my powers. I just learned to accept that fact and work around it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I had to learn on my own. It never got really dangerous for my family. But I did kill major appliances on occasion as a teenager. That's about when I manifested anyways.
