"Don't forget the flips," Barbara added when Peter asked if they had just been normal kids - she supposed they hadn't really been completely normal, if they had neither one of them would have done what they did, and they wouldn't be here now. But beyond that part of them that drove them to don the costumes in the first place she supposed they were mostly normal. "I took some martial arts classes, and ballet." Like that made any of it better.
She knew it didn't of course, and it was just one of many reasons she never could tell her father who and what she was, he'd lost his mind over it.
"A lot of luck, I imagine."

"And I think Dick and I are both just a little bit too stubborn to die even with the odds stacked against us."
