* ColdBloodedTorture: Happens to Richard and Craig.



* PsychicPowers: The three main characters have them to various degrees. Richard's is, perhaps, the most advanced as he can make someone forget something that happened within the last couple of minutes and control the weak-minded with simple commands. Sharron can hypnotise the weak-minded into telling her what she wants to know (not that she needs much help in that area, at least when it comes to men). Craig doesn't have anything specific to himself. Powers shared by Craig and Richard are feeling phantom pains when the other is in literally in [[ColdBloodedTorture great pain]]. Powers shared by the three is knowing when the others are in trouble.
