"Ahhhh ... Ahhhh ..."

Her own breathing was all she could afford to hear, the icy air entering her lungs heavily with each inspiration. The wind ran against her, dragging the drops of water that continued to fall and turning them into small needles that crashed constantly against her entire body. The words of her mother and sister echoed in her head, the comments for her choice of costumes reminding her that she owed they an apology.

 

The stopwatch of the big results screen kept going down slowly, the five minutes ending for both opponents, forcing them to decide their last moves. "Are you really trying? You need much more for someone as big as me!" She screamed, swelling her lungs with the icy air, using the cold to calm her nerves.

 

"GRRRR!" The frustration of seeing his cyclone have no effect was accumulating like a bad cold (something that surely both would catch after the training match). Clenching his teeth and putting his baseball cap backward, he stopped the rotation of his bat, hitting it against the ground. The seconds continued to end, forcing him to take the lead and jump towards his opponent by shaking his bat in an attempt to recover the projectiles scattered across the terrain of his eternal rival. “End of the road for you! It's time for this ridiculous show to end! Today you will learn not to belittle me!” His screams were wild, accompanied by wild-like grunts as he tried to push her back enough to see an opening.

 

Blood flowed through their bodies at full speed, burning them inside. The adrenaline was not going to let them stop until the horn will sound ... and frankly, both were delighted by it. A false step back, a step that landed on one of the baseballs. Taking advantage of the unique opportunity, he threw two quick blows upwards with his bat forcing her to withdraw, throwing the ball directly towards his feet. “You who have taught me that screaming your attacks give you the air of epicity to change the tables… it's time for you to fall at once! Your throne cannot last forever!”

 

"Hohohoho! So you want my throne ?! Well come for him with everything you have! You run out of time!" The provocation worked as she had planned, forcing him to attack her with a kick ... or so it was she expected, seeing that the leg was heading towards the ground.

 

With a quick touch of his foot he threw the ball directly to his free hand, catching it in the air and preparing to bat. “Take that! My ultimate technique! Redirection: Flourish!” He shouted with all his might, hitting the ball with an inhuman force, one that prevented him from legally competing in the school baseball league.

 

But the ball didnt move away from the baseball, staying fixed and continuously spinning in the air thanks to his ability. The strength of the batting was kept pressing the ball with such force that it was beginning to deform and flatten. His hands ached like never before, the muscles of his arms and spine begging him to shoot once and for all. Of course, listening to his body wasnt an option, not for someone who wanted to break his own limits and earn the position of leader he deserved.

Sparks began to leave the point where bat and ball were contacting, the white color of the ball beginning to dye a black calcined while the smell of burnt leather replaced the smell of fresh rain. Finally, the ball broke as he wanted. “Taaaaaaake this!” The ball was fragmented into 8 pieces equal in size, similar to the segments of a tangerine. Finally releasing their power, the fragments flew towards their adversary at a speed of 340 m / s, a speed similar to the bullets of a revolver but with enough power to pierce of a antimaterial rifle. The distance between them was less than 5 meters, so the fragments would take less than a fraction of a second to reach their target:

The power, speed, dispersion and closeness of the attack covered all possible angles; the battlefield was wet and the wind made treading or dodging unreliable; the bat and the inside of the ball reinforced with BrightSteel to achieve maximum power and security that the attack was going to work as he had theorized.

All the pieces to win were present on the table, his statement of intentions clear and absolute. It was impossible to fail or dodge such an attack.

 

But, as you they both knew ... the impossible is only impossible until someone makes it possible.

 

“I am not tied to any throne! And if I was, you would need much more than this!” It was all she needed to think when she saw the first sparks jumping from the bat, a safety field spreading around her in a few millionths of a second.

The projectiles hit the force field, stopping as if they were mere balls of paper hitting a wall. Stretching her right hand forward, the field began to twist and deform until it took a conical shape around her arm, spinning the ball fragments on himself as a deadly drill prepared for the counterattack.

 

"What the hell... are you telling me ... I made sure I was as close as possible so that you didn't have time to form a spiral barrier..." He fell to the ground on his knees desolate, releasing the baseball bat in the process while the horn marked the end of the match and his opponent unmade her rotary defense fade with a slight enchanted breeze. "It's not fair! How am I supposed to attack you, shitty goddess?! You're a monster, Ann -...”

 

 


 

 

"..Anne!"

"Anne!, good morning my sunshine" Erika and Alanna whispered at once, pulling her out of her dreams.

Anne slowly opened her eyes, the baby wrinkling her forehead at the amount of light coming through the bedroom door. Their mothers lay down each occupying a side of the double bed where Anne had spent the night with them, the result of crying disconsolate because of the unexpected fireworks. "Look at her ..." Alanna whispered sweetly stroking her daughter's belly with a finger. “A year ago you were leaving me, you know? Although really by this time you had been out for a long time ... I still don't know how it was possible, no matter how much I watch the video ... "

 

"A whole year ... 365 days and it seems to me that we have been with you for a lifetime ..." Erika continued whispering this time stroking the baby's cheek, forcing her to shake and almost completely awake. "I can't believe you're finally celebrating your birthday, my sunshine ..." Both mothers continued with their caresses until the baby couldn't stand it anymore, yawning and opening her eyes.

 

(11:00 am on January 1, 2020. Alanna, Erika and Anne's bedroom)

 

"Afffffu ..." The baby snorted as she sat on the spot, looking at her mothers and rubbing her lazy eyes. "Ammammas... Anne seep ... seep ..." Anne yawned swaying to fall on her mother Erika's breasts, where the toddler found comfort to try to sleep again. The two mothers couldn't help sharing a chuckle as Erika grabbed her daughter by the waist and sat down again, receiving two grunts from the birthday girl in return.

 

"I know you want to sleep, my sunshine ..." Alanna shortened the distance between her and her wife, getting close enough to share her daughter's grip. “But it's your birthday and the first day of the year! The whole family has come to celebrate with you and this afternoon your friends will come, it's not time to sleep!”

"Seeep ..."

What they shared this time was a look of slight frustration mixed with happiness, deciding without saying anything to get up carrying Anne to the bathroom while the baby growled frustrated, beginning grooming preparations for the big day.

 

 


 

(Meanwhile)

 

Alexander crossed his arms when mothers and daughter entered the bathroom, walking slowly through the ventilation duct thinking about what to do next. His honor prevented him from spying on a family at a time as intimate as in the bathroom, but the doctor's orders were absolute ... Anne had to be watched for the entire duration of the anniversary of her birth.

The spy mini-camera that Gyeseung had ordered to be built to help him with surveillance hung from his neck swaying through the hot air that began to rise from the vent, accompanied by the toddler's first laughs as she began to play with the water of the bathtub. "What kind of ... human would I be if I started to be a damn voyeur? It may be physically impossible, but I feel and believe in my ability to be a decent human!" Alexander whispered to himself, taking off the camera and throwing it into the ventilation duct. “Spying already seems reprehensible… but this? I don't think I deserve to have this in my memory!”

The frustration was almost as painful as knowing that he was disobeying the orders of his master and creator ... and of course, the vibration of his watch-communicator only made things worse when he saw who was calling him. "It's not the best moment, Bartolomeo-"

 

“Come on, Stuart! Don't say that!” The thunderous gorilla's voice, capable of irritating even the calmest of Gyeseung's assistants, resonated strongly as a result of the boredom that the professor was subjecting him to. “How is the mission going? Are you tired yet? I know the cycles of small animals are much more… how should I say it?”

 

"I catch Bartolomeo ... you're a gorilla and I'm a simple mouse, jokes about my size, very funny. You know? At least I'm glad to see that you continue to spread your vocabulary and popular culture. Calling me Stuart has been partially fun"

 

The gorilla growled at Alexander's refusal to play, the mouse could hear Bartolomeo's office chair spinning at full speed. “It's just jokes to break the ice, you know? It would cost you nothing to pretend and go into my game for a while ... Even so, the question was completely serious, I was worried about you”

 

“And I thank you for being worried, Bartolomeo, but you don't need to worry. I am perfectly capable of staying awake for as many hours as the Professor needs” Alexander explained as guilt devoured him inside, peeking lightly into the bathroom to make sure the family was following correctly. "In addition, for now it has been a fairly quiet surveillance, almost 12 hours have passed and there is no sign of the storm"

 

“Good news, no doubt. That confirms the Professor's suspicions that the NEP overclock cycle in humans is 5 and not 1 year. Are you staying the rest of the day?”

 

"What kind of question is that?! Of course I'm gonna stay here! My task is to monitor during all 24 hours of the anniversary of Anne's birth! What kind of irresponsible would think of abandoning the…-” Alexander didnt continue talking, stopping to listen to Bartolomeo's sad sigh. "You are getting bored waiting, right?" Bartolomeo didn't answer, Alexander assuming that the gorilla was nodding alone in the entrance room. "Have you tried to spend time on internet as I taught you?"

 

"Yes, I have been watching a few forums and commenting on a site called youtube where there are many videos ... but I don't see it as entertaining as chess against you or the Proffesor" Alexander smiled dumbly, enjoying not wanting to admit it. In the same way that Anne was the first human affected by the final version of the NEP, Alexander and Bartolomeo were the first animals to survive the first version of the mutation (or at least, the first to survive showing advances in their respective brains). Although neither of them were able to use even 5% of the abilities that the toddler possessed, the NEP had helped them break the limits of their own natures as animals and the limitations of their own brain, developing to the human level.

 

Curiosity and devotion to Professor Gyeseung filled their minds, all together with a sense of fraternity and affection between them. “I promise you that when I finish here and have a good nap we can resume our little competition, okay? Now hang up, please, I must focus on my vigilance” Bartolomeo didn't reply or resist a second, leaving the mouse alone in the darkness of the ventilation duct, only accompanied by the unstoppable laughter of Anne playing with her mothers.

It was curious, the mouse thought to himself. The nature of the NEP that Gyeseung had tested on them had made them the beings (apart from their own mothers) closest to Anne ... and yet, their lives were so different that it was almost impossible that one day the three would get to know each other.

 

 


 

But Alexander was not the only one who had plans for the day. On the other side of the spectrum and thanks to the "stolen" emails between Gyeseung and Addams, a man determined to change the course of the city and the world stopped his brand new vehicle at the entrance of the street, looking for a parking space.

 


 

 

The music was heard from the sidewalk in front of the gigantic house. Laughs, conversations and so on leaving the inner garden with such power that one wondered if the neighbors would agree... Of course, all the neighbors were also at the party and none intended to end it too soon.

The clock on the screen of his new convertible was six o'clock when Cascadio turned off the engine, starting to fix his hair to get completely flawless. At his side his young companion played with her new ring, designed to function as an external scanner in combination with her phone.

 

Of course, Cascadio knew well that she wasn't playing with the ring just to make sure it worked. "Don't be so nervous, Eli" Cascadio spoke without even turning to look at her, placing his hand on the girl's knee while with the other he was looking for one of his good combs in the glove compartment. "I've already talked to Erika and Alanna quite a lot about you, you're no stranger"

 

Elizabeth took a breath as deep as her lungs allowed, unconsciously making sure she carried her asthma device in her new designer purse, bought completely without warning by Cascadio. "Even so…"

 

"Even nothing, cute" Cascadio cut off his goddaughter's root, tightening her knee just enough to not wrinkle the new evening dress he had bought (after many negotiations until Elizabeth had to reluctantly accept it) days ago for the big moment. “You are beautiful and my goddaughter deserves and needs to leave our den from time to time! Girl, even for us to be living in a dome you are too white- And don't start with you're a science girl and not a social interactions girl! I will not let you escape this afternoon!”

 

"Yes, Cascadio ..." Elizabeth sighed opening the car door ... and slamming it shut when Cascadio pulled his arm back to the car. "If you're going to shake me like that ..." Elizabeth prepared to protest when Cascadio pulled out her phone, activating automatic dialing reminding her goddaughter of her other goals. "Carlos, Oliver, is my computer running?"

 

“Bzzzzzzzzzzz…- Yes, Elizabeth! Working- Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…- Perfectly!” Oliver shouted as loudly as he could, trying to overcome interference with the system. Silently while Cascadio and Oliver both argue raising their voices louder and louder, Elizabeth pulled out her own phone starting to load her own-crafted app. Professor Gyeseung was a fascinating man (not that Elizabeth knew him beyond the emails that Addams and him) and his technology even more, the machine that Carlos had stolen from Handshake's facilities and the times Cascadio had taken her as a companion on the recommendation of Addams (who was especially concerned that his brother was a good legal guardian) to visit the facilities were absolute proof that Gyeseung was a man ahead of his time, a kind of 21st century Da vinci who unfortunately isn't trying to share his genius with the world.

Elizabeth had also been called a genius by hundreds of social workers both before and within the reformatory, each proposing different methods to stimulate their intelligence or as they liked to call it "The spark of all genius". Of course Elizabeth knew well that behind each proposal there were much darker intentions, ready to take her away from her beloved hometown where the last ties with her family were still. Cascadio instead proposed to live with him, act as his caregiver and godfather until she was old enough to live by herself. 

And although Elizabeth was especially grateful to her godfather, what most filled the young woman's mind was a new desire, one born of seeing all the wonders Professor Gyeseung was achieving:

Overcome Professor Gyeseung.

 

The Awaker mini portable scanner was one of the first tests of this new mentality and new objective of Elizabeth, a miniature version of the scanners of the "Uli milaeui gyesi ja". Although not a quarter of the power of the original Uli Milaeui, the Awaker was able to react to the NEPF activations of small neohumans, an easy way to detect that neohuman children were more adept at using their abilities naturally and mark them to track them for the future Hunger Skull franchise.

Coming out slowly to keep track of her heels, Elizabeth locked her phone after making sure the Awaker was working. Even having parked at the beginning of the street, the Barlow family's house was so immense that it looked like the absolute crown of the neighborhood.Cascadio did not delay even a second, leaving the car as if it were a rock star.

“Let's have a good time and get what we need, honey! The future of our personal superhero franchise depends on how we play our cards today!” Cascadio's haunted smile covered his face, tapping the trunk to open it and take out the bag with Anne's gift. "Let's go there, Eli, I have a good feeling about today!" Offering his arm to his goddaughter, the two slowly headed toward the gigantic house.

 

 


 

A lot of noise, a lot of people for Anne's taste. The toddler was biting her lips while her mothers were carrying her for all the people they knew, even for people who only sounded to Anne remotely.

After too much time of people congratulating her on things that Anne didnt quite understand, her mothers finally returned her to the playground, where all her friends played with rubber balls (The idea of r03;r03;a playground filled with balloons was quickly dismissed after giving notice that 6 of Anne's friends had sufficiently sharp claws and/or fangs) distributed throughout the place.

“Rest a while with your friends, okay my sunshine? You've earned it!” Alanna kissed her daughter's forehead before turning around and leaving to continue attending the birthday party (now more converted into an elegant party, at least until the time of the cake). Anne sighed pulling her ass directly on the padded floor, quietly enjoying her ass finally being larger than the squares with letters that formed the padded floor. Everyone had spent the party telling her that she was becoming a real big girl, and if this was what they was referring to, Anne was more than happy to turn years.

 

“Anneeeeeeee!” Lisa shouted, throwing herself on her best friend's back, hooking herself with her claws covered (One of Shapes' most demanded accessories, super-discreet and comfortable silicone cover for the claws of your little neohuman) to her shirt. "Haaaa ... haaa ... -" "Agg, this is very hard! ... Happy birthday!" 

 

"Yeah ... I also have a hard time with the P ... but look what I can say!" Anne cleared her throat smiling, staring at her wolf. "Li ... sa. Lisa!”

 

“How cool! I can say my name too” Lisa shouted mentally, letting go of Anne and grabbing the hand of the the huge toddler twice as high, trying to drag her to the little house under the slide where everyone had gathered.

One of the strangest things that Addams had found in neohumans were the strange growth cycles (for the moment only in their first year), these being much earlier than in human children of the same age. An initial phase of a much shorter tit baby followed by a much longer learning and discovery stage. For things like these, parents were used to that even though they were still a large part of them, they were much more awake and exhibited behaviors such as playing with each other without wanting to be seen or interrupted.

And precisely for that reason no adult was surprised that the children will sit under the slide after having all the toys not anchored to the ground nearby.

 

Anne bent down to enter the interior of the house, where the group had grown strong covering the windows with cushions. "Hap ... py ..." Everyone tries to say at the same time, each one encountering different difficulties.

 

“It's okay, guys! I also find it difficult to say birthday with words” Anne smiled, sitting in the middle of the pile of cushions, where the birthday crown the toddler had previously thrown was placed as if it were her throne. 

 

"Happy birthday, Anne!"

"Happy birthday ... your mothers have your gift ..."

Gabrielle and Naseera were the first to get hooked on Anne, each holding on to a giant's (for their perspective, above all) arm. This was something that Anne didn't care about, it didn't matter if they got together in a park, at the Handshake facility or at one of their homes or gardens; She was always the center of the group as the other children had made sure to make it clear, each affirming it for different reasons.

For Gabrielle? Anne was big, warm, always smelled good and was kind to everyone, things that the little fox appreciated more than anything.

For Naseera? Anne was the one who played with her the most and defended her from other curious children with her hands too free in Handshake's facilities, always saying that she did not see the lamia differently for not having legs like other children had told her.


The giantess toddler was more than happy to help her friends, always letting them get on without complaint. Embracing little fox and lamia alike, Anne smiled happily as the rest of her friends approached.

“We need to meet more! With so many adults around we can't play or talk about our things”

 

“I totally agree!” Gideon mentally shouted, discreetly placing himself on Anne's right, holding on to the giant's arm after previously pushing Naseera back. “Now that you turn your birthday and I will turn them a month later we must start using our new age to better organize this team! You have all heard that neohumans should be an example of good behavior-” The cyclops changed position quickly, placing a raised leg on Anne's knee and right fist raised. "And we, the Gideon's men must be that example for our brothers!"

 

“Gideon’s… men?” The kids thought looking at each other, completely ignoring the rest of what Gideon had said. Without saying anything, the children began to gather around Anne while Gideon was slowly moved to the center of the playhouse, the cyclops meeting all eyes on him.

 

"Yes! My mom says I'm good at helping her choose names for her novel, so since she says I'm good at it, I must also be good at deciding our team name!” Raising a finger asking for time, Gideon cleared his throat before taking a deep breath. The toddler searched within himself for the words he had rehearsed so much.

“Gideon’s… men! The na...me oss those who will tate cae of our neohuman boters!” Gideons shouted with all his might, praying internally not to be wrong. After a few seconds of silence, the Cyclops opened his eyes to hear the applause of his friends. "That means-"

 

"No" Ariah instantly cut the applause. Having taken over the space between Anne's legs, her straight and serious posture was more than enough to freezing the cyclops on the site. "Yesterday says that Anne is the leader we need" And the statement was so concise that the other children simply nodded trusting the decision of the mysterious Yesterday. (And for not wanting Gideon to take control of decisions after the last time he had fought without reason with Lisa)

 

Blinking confused and furious, Gideon clenched his teeth as he trampled the ground. "It's not fair! It's my idea! I have named it so it means that it is my idea! If we live in a world where putting the name does not give you absolute control then we have failed as a species!” Looking around, the Cyclops found one of the rubber balls near his feet, picking her up looking at Anne with all the malice that an 11-month-old boy could have. Squeezing the ball in his hand, Gideon threw it with all his might towards Ariah ... only that by the time Selja and Reed stood in front to protect it the ball stopped in the air, changing the direction with the same force and hitting in the middle of the Anne's front, pulling her back on the cushions.

 

"What was that?! What kind of magic trick has that been ?! Our father doesn't know how to do such good tricks!" Bobr shouted while between him and Gabrielle helped Anne get up.

 

“Many of you already know that, don't you? Uncle Addams has told you about the NEsPer skills” Gideon smiled mischievously while picking up another ball, throwing it into the air and stopping in the middle of the fall to head for the other hand of the Cyclops. “This is what they have decided to call Vector Redirection, a skill that only I have! I can redirect the direction of any object not anchored to the ground that I have touched in a margin of 5 seconds, preserving things like projectile speed in the process!” The Cyclops proudly explained after hearing Addams explain it to his mother he would have ended up understanding and memorizing each word. And that same pride vanished when he saw the face of absolute confusion of each and every one of his friends. "Guys, please ... we already have an age ..."

 

"The one with an age is Anne and you have attacked her!" Selja shouted preparing to jump on the cyclops, stopped by her brother Bobr holding her by the tail. "That is not right! Hit people isn't right! Say sorry to Anne....-” Selja stopped screaming when she saw Anne get up and walk slowly to Gideon.

The giantess toddler and the Cyclops held their eyes for a few seconds before saying anything to each other, they both left the house after the slide. Looking at each other, the other children left behind them to the center of the playground where the couple was.

 

Not a word was needed, Anne and Gideon separated 10 squares of distance between them (Although neither of them was very clear yet how to count) before turning and holding their eyes again, Anne standing with her arms crossed while that Gideon left at his feet the 4 balls he had been able to drag on his way there. The children's scene didnt go unnoticed among adults because Anne Roland's grandfather was filling his glass of champagne while looking at the children.

Roland called her wife, who in turn called Alanna. Mouth to mouth, and after 25 seconds all the adults and teenagers of the party left the conversations they were having to turn towards the playground, with both Erika and Gideon's father, Finn, deciding to enter to try to calm the situation between both children.

At the exact moment when Erika and Finn set foot inside the playground, the battle broke out.

 

"Anneeeee!" Gideon shouted in his baby voice still too small, grabbing two balls to throw them into the air. Both children, adults and teenagers watched as the balls stopped in the air while the Cyclops crouched down to pick up a third ball, throwing directly towards Anne. "Receive this and give me the leadership!" The Cyclops mentally shouted as the first two balls shot towards the giant in a triple attack.

Anne didnt say or do anything, clenching her baby teeth while receiving the three balls in the chest. Although the first moment had completely misplaced all those present (Above all Gideon's parents, that all they had seen was his son redirecting a ball to score a goal to his father), Finn and Erika soon reacted throwing himself to stop his children ... only to fully meet little Ariah in the middle of his path. Not knowing when the little girl had settled there, the bodybuilder and the Amazon looked at each other deciding simply to dodge her. Or at least that was the plan.

A shiver went through both of their spines, a sensation as if something held them back preventing them from moving forward.

 

While her parents surrender to the smiling Ariah, Anne had decided to stop waiting for Gideon to continue throwing balls at her. The giantess toddler took a first step with all her strength, scaring the cyclops and making him drop all the collected balls. "Gi ... deo ... Gideo ... n" Anne said loudly, looking for the most comfortable way to say the word.

 

“Anne! Dum!” The Cyclops replied trying to pick up the balls and prepare a new attack.

 

"Gideo ... n ... Gide ... on" Anne kept repeating, ignoring the avalanche of balls that the Cyclops was throwing from every angle she could think of. Gideon's childish mind came to the conclusion that the same in the toons he saw with his father, Anne had to have some weak point, intending to look for it hitting all the different points that his ability allowed him to reach.

Of course none of those blows seemed to be effective on the giantess, which continued advancing by pushing back more and more to the cyclops. (The scene reaching bizarre points that no father knew what to do, only Addams, Cascadio and strangely Fraje enjoying it)

 

When the Cyclops finished picking up another of the stuffed animals that he was already being forced to use for lack of real ammunition (balls) and looked up, all he found was with Anne surpassing him at all possible levels: Height, size and anger. Frightened and desperate, Gideon ended up throwing the stuffed animal directly at the giantess toddler's, who stopped him without any problem. “Anne! Dum! Dum! Dum Dum Dum!” Gideon began to cry furiously, hitting Anne's stomach with his fists at the impassive gaze of his rival.

Anne kept her eyes on Gideon, waiting for the ideal moment when the Cyclops raised both hands to grab him and lift him in a hug, something that brought a sigh of group relief to the adults who found the scene endearing. 

 

What could have been an ideal scene of offering love to those who make war completely changed when Erika, Nellie and Fraje instantly recognized what Anne was doing.

While Erika regretted more than ever playing video games with Anne in front, Fraje climbed on the fence of the playground to shout with all her might. "Do it, Anne! Half-circle-Kick, Siberian express!"

 

While Alanna shouted furiously at her wife reprimanding without having any idea what was going on, Anne lifted Gideon to face him, the 73 centimeters (2 feet 5 inches) of the cyclops against the 145 centimeters (4 feet and 9 inches tall) of the giantesst. Anne smiled at Gideon's face of fury that kept stirring, preventing her from having time to remember how she do what the funny guy on the game her mother controlled did. Taking advantage of Anne's confusion,  Gideon saw the opportunity to kick her opponent's knees to get loose ... not realizing that instead they had caused Anne to lose her strength and balance momentarily.

The next few seconds passed in slow motion for everyone present, Anne and Gideon looking at each other while frame by frame both fell forward ... from Anne's perspective.

 

On January 1, 2020 Gideon learned two lessons: First, that Anne's weak point was very well hidden.

The second? That the giantess toddler weighed a lot.

 

Anne, at the last moments, had the instinct to throw her head forward above Gideon trying to stop the fall with her head instead of with the body of the cyclops. Of course this was no use but for her to hurt herself too.

The world circled around both children after the fall, separated and cradled by their parents of both. Frightened that Anne had her entire red forehead and Gideon her nose and face, Erika shouted to the heavens a phrase she never expected to say. "FOR GOD, IS THERE ANY DOCTOR IN THE ROOM ?!"Evidently before the Amazon could stop screaming, Addams was already kneeling between her and Finn, checking the integrity of both toddlers. To everyone's relief, Anne and Gideon had nothing but a slight bruise on the nose and back by the cyclops and on the front and chest (where Gideon had hit with his nose) by the giant.

All staying in just a scare moment, the party resumed after Alanna and Veerle make sure that her children were in perfect condition ignoring the diagnosis of the qualified doctor in the room.
