He frowned as he considered the problem and decided it had to have involved some unknown ability imparted to him by that alien DNA. He'd have to find away to test what the boy was capable of as soon as he found him again.
"Hey, Pops," Ranma said as Genma walked into their camp. Genma blinked in surprise. He then glared at the boy, technically Ranma was thirteen but he looked at least three or four years older.
