I don't think I would change anything. It's your story after all. You are the one who knows what will/might happen in possible future stories, and you should choose abilities you'll need in those storylines too. I understand things are a bit in the air right now, but once you set a storyline, rest might come itself. My only advice is to plan your stories in advance. For example I'll spoil something from my fanfiction Stefan's Diaries. When I first had the idea, the story would take place roughly 10 years after TVD's season 4. But when I planned a story, I decided it will be 10 years. Why I decided that is the real thing, because after I decided the story will have 6 seasons, I noticed it will be 16 years from season 4, meaning a certain easily forgettable character from season 4 will then be 16 years old, meaning I could shape a plot around her. So I planned my 6th season first, and knowing what will be needed in that part of the story, I started to build my story according to that. Characters to be introduced in previous seasons, their purposes, etc. That's why I find planning very important.

But some just start writing and see where it goes, that's another style too :) I don't know how you will write yours..

Not that I'm telling you do use this, but while writing this message a possible plotline came to my mind for your story.. If it was me I would make the binding for some other purpose than boosting their powers. But boosted strength would turn out to be an unexpected but pleasant side effect. I wouldn't make the protagoinsts power hungry teenagers to be honest. Maybe they will be forced to do it for some reason (maybe to save the life of one of them), or maybe they would be manipulated into doing it. Maybe someone else would somehow benefit from this, after all somehow all of them were born at the same time! Or they simply just wanted power but then decided to use it for good, I don't know :) Also this binding itself may lead to new stuff, like inner struggles. I mean, okay, we got stronger and we defeated the villain, yay us! But now what? What do we do with all this power? Give up on it? I don't think so! >:) Maybe power will corrupt some of them and they will be forced to break the bond, which could also have it's own consequences, like since they were binded for some time, now they all got a bit of everyone else's powers and none of them can control any of those powers. They go off at odd places like in classroom, lab, library, or market.. Finding a way to fix it while having to deal with a new problem could be another plot. stuff like that :))
