* BehemothBattle: Pwnage's "Plan D" for robbing the Ruby Dreams casino is that Lung arrives and Taylor uses his power to fight him while everyone else gets away. [[spoiler:She and Lung both grow large enough to shatter buildings, and both struggle to do lasting harm to each other, but her Tinkertech and her superior grasp of what his power can do let her gain the upper hand until everyone is clear. And the video footage is ''extremely'' popular.]]

* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Tattletale and Hax can read each other, and read each other's reactions to reading each other, to the point where within seconds of Hax sharing her power, they can hold detailed private conversations with just a few tiny gestures. (But only Hax can switch powers to quickly get rid of the Thinker headache afterwards.)
--> Tattletale grinned, and I wondered if she had been following my thought processes. She hadn't been, I realised, as soon as the thought crossed my mind, but she had a good idea of the direction in which they had been going.
