Where other 12-13 year old boys might search the internet for weird and disturbing porn and kinky stuff just to see what's out there, he could experience it.<br><br>He was given all of this in a context where people either didn't care or they didn't/couldn't judge (or, considering obligatory big brothers and their teasing, judgment didn't count for a hell of a lot compared to novelty.) - [https://redd.it/68zocs Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> To give his children the needed experience Nikos made sure they could practice on any available subjects including each other.<ref name="I11g e6">Her arm jerked involuntarily.<br><br>“Remember me practicing my power on you when it was new?”<br><br>“I remember, little brother,” she frowned, looking at her arm.  “Daddy had us all practice on each other.” - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11g]]</ref>
