TW! This book contains mature content (gore, sexual themes and language, as well as swear words and physical and emotional abuse).

Background Explanation:
- The Powerful 5 got their powers as a result of multiple experiments done by the Cheng Family.
- They currently do not realize they have powers.
- All the kids grew up in not the best homes.
- All 5 of the kids learned sign language in school when they were younger and continued to use it to communicate without others knowing.
- All were sold to the same family (the Chengs) for labor (experimentation) and then would return home after "work".
- All kids are experimented on while at the house where the labor took place.
- The kids' families are paid weekly in return (and are not aware of experimentation).
- Labor or experimentation consisted of physical abuse like electrocution, beatings, and body parts being punctured.
- The torture & experimentation has been going on daily for years.
