Work Text:
Vi and Vander and also the boys taught Powder a lot—how to survive, climb, fight back, fend for herself, dream also. On the subject of bombs she’s mostly self-taught. She’s got great ideas stemming from a vivid imagination and inventiveness but she lacks proper basis to work from.
Vander got her books from Benzo but they don’t teach everything—or she doesn’t understand them well enough.
But. One other skill she’s got from her family is perseverance. She’ll keep taking stuff apart, pry at the bits, see how to fit them back together. Try again. Until she gets it.
