That does sound pretty comforting. ( It would probably be harder if she felt like she had to watch out for them all the time, but since she can be confident they can handle themselves, it's less of a worry and more company.
Red's gaze follows Allison to the stove with curiosity. )
...but woah, hold the phone, raised for worst case scenarios? Okay, you can't just say that without throwing out an example of one of those worst case scenarios.
Well, my sister almost ended the world once. And we tried to get around it through time travel, accidentally got stuck in the sixties, and then the world almost ended again.
[Though that one wasn't hundred percent Viktor's fault.]
And then we landed here.
But I don't know if that's the thing that Dad was trying to prepare us for.
( Red stares as she processes and processes and then some more processing. )
...holy shit.
That's a lot.
Your Dad was preparing you for the apocalypse, or like this place? Is that what dads are supposed to do? ( Cause she thought they're supposed to like raise children, which means like discipline and teaching them things but not apocalypse preparation generally. )
I don't think we ever got to what our dad was preparing us for before he died.
[If she had to pin down when something shifted, it was after they lost Five. But she never cared enough to dig into why things changed. She was too busy mourning her brother.]
But he had us be superheroes. We were actually pretty effective in the field when we were kids.
( Red's expression is twisted into one of confusion, one of understanding that this wasn't okay. Her knowledge of what it should be like to be mortal is better than her experiences. )

Sounds like your childhood was fucked up.

[In more ways than one. When they weren't being forced to fight crime, they were being pitted against each other for supremacy.]
But I think we all turned out okay in the end. Not great, but okay.
