━︎━︎━︎━︎"𝐌𝐎𝐌! 𝐈 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 out what I can do!" Artemis ran up the steps with Sonya trailing her just as Aphrodite and John re-entered the building.

"I told you you could do something else." Aphrodite smiled. "Alright, show me."

Artemis turned to Sonya before saying, "May I?" Sonya nodded her head and Artemis touched her arm before removing her hand, and breathing out the pink smoke that usually resided in Sonya. Artemis allowed the smoke to fall back inside of her mouth as she looked up at her mother, a wide smile on her face.

"I can replicate others' powers!" Artemis laughed. "That's so cool!"

"Hell yeah it is." Aphrodite smiled, getting a high five from her child. "You know that there's going to be rules to that, right?"

"I know, I know. Don't replicate powers without others' permission." Artemis nodded her head.

"You know what else?" Aphrodite asked. Artemis hummed in response. "You can't replicate my power, at all."

"What? Why?" Artemis frowned at this.

"Because, I'd prefer you not to." Aphrodite answered.

"This is a conversation we're totally having later tonight. In the meanwhile, I'm going to go mess with Zingo." Artemis skipped past the group of adults and towards the dog that was happily sitting on the same couch she normally sat on, her toy in her mouth.

"A powerful mother, a powerful daughter." Sonya Smiled at this. Aphrodite chuckled as she nodded her head, glancing at John as he excused himself to talk with Pulse who he had quickly become best friends with.

"What is with our family and minds?" Aphrodite asked. "I mean, you take and give memories. I warp people's minds. Art is a mind reader." Sonya smiled in amusement at this, nodding her head. Sonya looked at her sibling, cocking her head slightly as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Hey, what's on your mind?"

Aphrodite glanced at her, biting her lip before nodding for Sonya to follow her. Sonya did so, and when Aphrodite walked past Lorna, she gave her a look and the woman excused herself from her boyfriend before following the two redhead's. They made it to Aphrodite's room, Lorna closing the door behind her before catching Sonya's eyes. The redhead shrugged her shoulders before they both turned to Aphrodite.

Lorna studied her best friend for a moment, cocking her head slightly. "What happened?"

"What?" Aphrodite asked, snapping herself from her thoughts.
