Superhero Struggles
Superheros such as Batman, Superman, and Iron Man all experienced the tragic death of the parents and had to grow up under non-biological caretakers. However, they all would eventually become iconic and recognizable all around the world. You wanted to become just like them, but your parents would not accept your dreams.
Instead of living in the urban city, you live in a suburban neighborhood. Instead of using your superpowers for heroics, you're using it for chores and housework. Instead of the world knowing who you are, only your parents and distant relatives know about you having superpowers. Instead of going to school, you are home-schooled. Your parents will not let you leave the house by yourself because they fear you will accidentally reveal your superpower to the public, thus causing unwanted attention and concern for your safety.
How do you feel about your parents doing this to you? Do you accept their actions, or do you feel like retaliating? The choice is yours.

This is a neat idea, and I like exploring (or at least at attempting to) a world with our powers while trying to manage our parents' over-protectiveness. I'm very curious to see more and try pushing back against our parents' attempts to keep us "safe," especially given how they seem to have very specific expectations for us (or at least Dad does, given how he acts if you don't ask about the missing desk). I do have some questions, though: how old is the protagonist? Middle school aged, high school aged? Or do you intend to leave their age undefined? Additionally, what kind of powers do we actually have? It would be particularly ironic if we had some kind of super durability or were near-invincible, like Superman or something. I look forward to more!
