Helen smiled a bit proudly when Violet decided to share what happened with her at school without having to get the note. "Thought.." The corrected her gently just as she misspoke a word, but then her face became grave again upon hearing the story again. It was tough for a mom to hear this kind of betrayal happen to your daughter, but it was exactly what would happen in this world that suddenly changed so drastically to mistrust people with powers.
She was pleased to hear her husband instantly step in to provide support and encouragement. See? This was exactly the kind of intervening she want- wait what? Helen's brown eyes widened as she stared at Bob tell her that it was okay to use the powers as long as she didn't get caught, which made her feel a bit insecure that Bob might have been moonlighting hero work still like he did before. Helen just wanted to face palm herself if she didn't have a spoon in the other hand that would end up with her getting some of the baby's food on her. No, she'd have to take back everything she originally thought. This was exactly what she DIDN'T want!
" No.. We are NOT using our powers outside of this house!" Helen reiterated sternly, making sure that this was perfectly clear that this was not happening at this house - particularly if Bob was doing hero work behind her back - her eyebrows narrowed with a disapproving frown at Bob. Yes, her husband was definitely going to hear it from her the moment Vi got to bed. With another sigh, Helen turned to her daughter with a softened tone of voice. "Sweetie, what your father's tryin' to say is that it’s against the rules to show powers outside of the house for anyone.." She explained, giving her husband a glance over upon saying the word 'anyone' to make sure that he knew that he was also included in being part of the people who were not allowed to use powers outside of this house.
"Vi, I want you to know that this is the first time you’re learning about all this and you’re still gaining control of your powers, so it’s not your fault. None of this is anyone’s fault." She glanced over at Bob meaningfully this time. It wasn't his fault either. Bob only did what he loved, which was to help people - he didn't know that the man was going to turn it all around and cause more people to follow in his steps for suing the supers. "But the best thing you can help us do is to help us keep each other safe and use your powers only in the house just like the rest of us..we need your help, sweetie.." This was the promise that Helen wanted to ask of her back in the bedroom, and she only hoped her daughter would help her mother and father out in not exposing her powers out to the world in order to keep each other safe and stable.
