They are born already possessing the powers taught to second-stage Lensmen.

Could you provide a specific page? I'd like to edit it to fix (at least)
the way that Clarrissa's name was spelled in the books. I'm also skeptical
of the idea that Kay/Kat and Cam/Con were fraternal rather than identical.

The name of the story is "A Sound of Thunder".
It was written by Ray Bradbury. You're welcome.
