(Earth, Bellwood, current day)

Mason and Gwen looked at their 2 children. Mason gave his wife a nudge which seemed to kick her into speaking at the moment as he sighed.

"Your mother has something she'd like to talk to you about." Mason stated which was greeted by Gwen humming.

"Me and your father have been talking about having you stay with Auntie Lucy or Uncle Ben at the moment." Gwen stated as Mason cleared his throat a moment later.

Mason knew very well his children were smart enough to understand what was going on. Jen was the first to greet them.

"You and dad have superhero work, right mom?" Jen questioned as Gwen hummed once more.

"Yes, dad and me have hero work that we need to handle." Gwen responded and tapped her fingers on her legs. "That's why I've made calls to Grandpa Max, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Lucy… One of them will come by to watch over you while we're gone." Gwen added which caused Jen to sigh.

She knew very well her daughter was eager to get out and help someone. She enjoyed crime fighting, she enjoyed it far more than she did anything. Jen took after her a lot with her passion to be a positive change in the world.

But her lack of experience put her in danger. Gwen knew her daughter would have to be in danger if she was going to learn this experience.

But against someone like Vilgax or Animo? People who had no qualms about trying to have attempted to kill her as a 10-year-old? Gwen knew very well just how out of her depth her daughter would be in that case at the moment.

"Jen, I know you and Danny want to crime fight… And me and your father couldn't be prouder of you." Gwen stated and sighed. "But if this is caused by someone who WE can't handle? You've never fought people like Darkstar, Animo, or Attea…. There are plenty of people who want me dead." Gwen stated which caused Danny to speak up at this moment.

"If mom and dad are handling superhero stuff, Jen?" Danny responded which caused his sister to glare at him. "Then obviously that means she knows we're safe here…. Besides? Theres plenty of supervillains in Bellwood who Aunt Lucy will want us to help fight!" Danny said which caused Mason to groan.

Mason sighed and shook his head back and forth. He did enjoy his kid's enthusiasm.

"Kids…" Gwen started to say before Mason put his hand on her shoulder.

"Kids… You are only going to do what your Aunt Lucy… Or me or your mother says…." Mason said and hummed before cracking a small smile. "And if you do that? I'll take you both out for ice cream like I do whenever you do your chores… Deal?" Mason questioned which got nods and giant smiles from Jen and Danny who ran upstairs.

"I could have handled that." Gwen stated which caused Mason to hum and shake his head with amusement at this.

"Yes… But us being the 'stern but fair' type parents right now?" Mason questioned and turned to his wife with amusement present in his face. "It isn't going to keep them out of trouble. That's kinda why we set up the reward system when it came down to it. Heroes like them are going to want to be heroes." Mason stated as he waved his arms from side to side.

Mason knew very well Jen and Danny would try to be superheroes anyway when it came down to it. They'd do something crazy if left to their own devices in the end. It made him quite concerned and yet somewhat proud in the end when it came down to it.

"And when do WE get to be superheroes like you both are?" Jen asked which caused Mason to sigh and shake his head.

"This isn't a contest, Jen." Mason said as he turned to Danny. "You both know we're proud of you both… But if you ever do something that you cant defeat? Then me and your mother would never forgive ourselves." Mason stated and crossed his arms once more.

He spoke up again, already expecting what his daughter would say.

"And yes, it is your decision…" Mason said as he hummed and stood up. "But if you both plan on being superheroes? You have to be ready for anything. Your both staying with Grandpa Max, Uncle Ben, or Aunt Lucy till we return…. If you do that? Then your get ice cream. I'll talk about superhero practice when we come back." Mason stated as he hummed and turned to walk out the door.

Mason knew for a fact that the kids would argue with each other over this soon.

However? They were Tennysons, they had heroism in their blood.
