Not tacky at all! Well maybe to me because I love superpower stories :P Poor Ryan though, his dad seems like a real terror.
Looking forward to more, I'm already hooked!

Oh, trust me, I LIVE for superpowers. I'm such a nerd XD. And Ryan's dad is not living any more, so HOORAH. Thank you, I'll try to focus and finish this story :3.
