(If you recognize these it’s bc I posted them before I accidentally DELETED MY ENTIRE BLOG😭)
Bose calls Henry to talk about his parental problems a lot
Mika does her own hair and occasionally does Miles’ too
Sometimes Miles and Mika have to sleep in the same room to ensure they’re both still there and okay
Miles has multiple places only he knows about and that he occasionally teleports to just to get some time away
Bose occasionally has trouble setting boundaries leading to the others’ unintentionally hurting him
In the opposite direction Chapa occasionally preemptively sets too many boundaries causing the others to accidentally exclude her
Miles runs late to things a lot of the time because he constantly thinks, “It’ll only take me a second to get there!” even if he’s meant to already be there
Mika drinks tea almost every night to soothe her throat preemptively
Chapa makes most of her own clothes but Miles can sew better than she can
Mika struggles to meet the expectations she has set for herself, often leading to burnout and breakdowns
Miles often struggles with how his interpersonal values conflict with beating up criminals all the time
Due to going to school together and fighting crime together all four kids quickly become codependent
Chapa sometimes has to spend hours or days to herself just to get away from all the stress being a superhero causes
Bose was the first of them to get seriously hurt on a mission, forcing him on bed rest for a week, and off active field duty for at least a month
It was the first time the others really realized that one day this job may kill them
A few villains retired after Kid Danger “died” and more are extra careful with how they treat Danger Force, just in case
As the kids get older they spend a lot of time making up on the schoolwork they missed when they were younger
As the kids get older they get more and more disillusioned with the whole superhero gimmick
They all quit being sidekicks like Henry did although at different times
Miles quits first, deciding he’s ready for a more peaceful approach
Chapa quits next, feeling constrained by Ray and like she’s ready to be an adult
Bose leaves after her, more peacefully than the other two but not without at least one screaming match
Mika lasts the longest but eventually has to leave to go to college and live her life
Ray often wonders if taking in more sidekicks was truly a good idea
Schwoz loves the kids as though they’re his own
He often gives them money (that he may or may not have taken from Ray) to allow them to go out like normal teenagers
If Bose overuses his powers he can get migraines occasionally resulting in nose bleeds and on the worst days nausea
The first time it happened he threw up and fainted
It was terrifying for everyone to witness
If Mika overuses her powers she loses her voice for about a week and can’t super scream for even longer
The overuse will make her throat swell as well, causing her to have difficulty breathing
It’s extremely painful and the only thing the others can do is give her medicine and make her soothing drinks
When Miles overuses his powers he gets extreme vertigo.
He’s also often nauseous making it near impossible to move.
It’s disconcerting and no one's ever sure how long it will last.
When Chapa overuses her powers her hands and other extremities go numb
She can still summon lightning but she has no control over the output or direction it goes leading it to be dangerous for everyone around her
She usually just has to carry around insulation gloves and wait for her hands to regain feeling

If only one of my posts gets read by amateur authors let it be this:
SUBMIT YOUR WORK TO THE TOP PUBLICATIONS FIRST AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN!
What do I mean by top? Standards of quality, audience, pay rate, legal contract; it can be anything. What matters is that you set the metric you prefer and aim for the top.
I say this because most new authors think that when submitting short stories, or flash fiction, or poetry, you need past credentials to publish with the highly-ranked publications. That's probably true but the logic is backwards. By the time you're good enough to publish in the highest ranking magazines, you've probably already published in a lot of others. Don't settle, you have nothing to lose.
Let's look at two scenarios. One in which you believe in your writing and one in which you don't.
The confident writer starts submitting to all the top publications. They submit, wait for a rejection, and submit again to a different one. They slowly work down the line until finally they hit the very top of the range of publications that are willing to accept their work. They now know what market they have a chance in and what markets to read from to improve.
The insecure writer starts submitting to all the unknown/unpaid/unvetted publications. They need to build credentials before they can submit to the preferred publications, right? If they don't get scammed out of rights they slowly move up the line of publications. They stop when they get accepted by the very bottom range of publications that will pay them the least amount, or give the least exposure, and think themselves lucky. And now they find themselves gaining much less confidence, and much less understanding of the markets, than if they started from the top. They'll have markets they believe they have to learn from when really they've surpassed them.
Even in the worst case publishing scenario: only one market accepts your publication at the very bottom, the only thing that is lost by being confident is your time. With any other publications willing to accept your work, you're guaranteed to get the better deal by being confident. Starting from the bottom is only self sabotage.
You may get more rejections (or even fewer than you think), but if you keep your head up and keep pushing, it'll be better for your writing and your confidence in the long run.
Besides, you'll probably be scammed less if you start with the ones that everyone trusts.

There's a lot of angles to SoRiku but my favorite is that they are children who were content to live in a dark cold hell forever, as long as they were together...
