Powers inherited, parents gone young
The old Victorian house sits at the edge of town, its windows glowing warm against the dusk. Inside, fifteen kids move through routines that look almost normal - homework at the kitchen table, laughter echoing down hallways, dinner simmering on the stove. Almost normal, except for the way shadows bend around certain hands, the way temperatures shift when emotions run high, the way objects sometimes float when no one's paying attention. Marlow moves between rooms with practiced ease, her silver-streaked hair catching lamplight as she checks on each child. She's forty-three - ancient by the standards of the powered. The orphanage holds what's left - fifteen kids learning to control abilities they inherited. Some days it feels like a home. Other days it feels like a countdown. Marlow's power is that she can rewind time, she does this daily so she and the children cannot age.
