Okay.

When you say "mental powers" that includes seeing the future? ESP?

How did Charlie and Renee reacted to the twin pregnancy?

Edit: I forgot, physical powers like shapeshifting or having wings exist too?

I mean powers relating to other people's brains, not other "mental powers".

Charlie and Renée took it in stride, and like good public employees followed all the standard regulations for parenting them responsibly.

I could see shapeshifting but "having wings" doesn't seem like a Geminiverse power.

Just to be certain, sorry.

I think they are the first Earth-Typical Bell-parents that had obviously-super children and I was mildly curious, i guess that the regulations thing shouldn't be a surprise.

"having wings" doesnt sound like your style, I was asking mostly to determine the "borders" in the geminiverse powers.

How about shifting into animals (multiple diverse species) or shifting into an animal (a single species or limited group)?

Powers have... tendencies to be lucrative or useful? That guy that turns things yellow is a extreme rare example?

Having wings is totally my style, I'm way into it, but it isn't Gemini-ish.

I'm not opposed to an animal-shapeshifting power but it would probably be more likely to be a limited kind than any sort you want.

There is no strong tendency to get good powers. Our Heroines are unusually lucky.

Of course, I know, everybody knows, because sometimes you write things to thrive on the attention.

My wrong conclusion came from the fact that your settings with one-person-one-power idea usually don't go into physical stuff like wings and claws, but "having wings" is sort of super-hero-ish.

It is almost like they are fated to world conquering or something.

I know English is not your first language, I assume this was misspoken? As written it is actually pretty insulting? Of course stories are written to get reactions from the readers, that's just good writing.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to a set of organizational tags on Alicorn's tumblr, "#sometimes i write things" and "#i thrive on attention". And she reblogs a lot of pictures of people with wings, which I assume is the direct reference there.
