* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: Panacea's family situation and psychological health are much better in this fic than in canon, because she confronted Brandish shortly after obtaining her powers (with backing from the Pelhams) and made it clear that she'd rather be a rogue than a hero. She's paid a high but reasonable wage for her services, with a surcharge for short notice and a tenfold multiplier if brains are involved, and she has treated Mark Dallon's depression.

* PedestrianCrushesCar: Taylor inadvertently does this multiple times, starting with Uber and Leet fleeing the police straight through the park she's in, which is how she realises that she has powers. The second time, she manages to shield her dad and have him break the car.

* UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject: To demonstrate that she's stronger than she looks, Taylor tests her power against Madison's "good steel". All previous testing has indicated that "good steel" is indestructible, and even Sophia's intangible state can't get through it. However, Taylor's power basically tells physics to go and sit in the corner. It's difficult for her to bend good steel, taking orders of magnitude more force than [[spoiler:ripping her entire school off its foundations and lifting it into the air]], but she can do it, and it can't penetrate her force field. (She does speculate, however, that if she extended her field over "good steel", it would become unbreakable even to her.)

Danny truthfully says that he was asleep until he was woken up by it, and Taylor just states that she heard the noise and then she had cocoa with her dad until they'd settled down and went back to bed.
