Those kids – proto Dill, Proto Kevin and Proto Alice. Not sure about the fourth – maybe Proto Marcus.

Poodles are dangerous. People shouldn’t have dogs that are smarter than them.

Hm, “The Pie Hole” is run by an immortal man who can resurrect the dead with but a simple touch. He can render them immortal unless he touches them again then they are dead forever from his touch. It works only once.
A meta-human mutation with the rarest of powers, to bring life to the lifeless. However something else must die in its place. There are no backsies so if he renders them dead again those that die stay dead. Bummer.

Of course that was dumb. Everyone knows that the Strip Mall can never return!
