Could it even do that? How would she know, or try? Just talk out loud and hope it humors her? Rebecca hesitates, recalling what she'd seen with Director Harris and how he'd seemed to shift into someone else. Not change, but shift. "Sure."

Nicky warns, moving towards the middle of the room before closing her eyes. Slowly, it almost looked like a blizzard was forming around her, extending outward slowly until it was hard to even see her anymore. The blizzard would start to take an woman's shape, though she's clearly made of ice. "Meet my power." Nicky would say, and the woman would turn to look at Rebecca with a blank expression.

She's watching Nicky intently as the blizzard forms around her, focus zeroing in on the other agent as her anticipation takes free reign. "Whoa." It's all she can say as her brain gives up articulating for the moment. Very impressed. "Hello?"

The floor beneath her seems to be freezing over, slowly. "This is what people who don't merge with their powers fully can eventually do." Nicky explains, keeping her eyes on her power. "They can be sustained by your power for a short time, but they drain you." Back to Top   It has begun.

One day. If she lives long enough. It's awesome, but also intimidating to think of what her own power might look like or even be. Or would it just lash out at her in return? "Did it...did she fight you, when she first manifested like this?" Now she feels bad for referring to the power like it's not in the same room and gives it an apologetic look. "Sorry. I didn't mean...do you have a name?" Back to Top   Nicky-Lee Young Hero Paradigm Black Ops [color=darkgreen]WOOP WOOP!

She fought me for a long time, but I lost my memory at one point and was able to let go of my pride long enough to apologize for killing her." Nicky chuckles at the memory. The ice woman doesn't look offended by Rebecca. "Skaldi." Back to Top   It has begun. Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She's talking to a power like a person, which is weird. But it also makes sense to her, if it's sentient. Which is also weird. Isn't it? She doesn't want to ask yet. It's also not the first time she's heard that she should apologize. She nods with a small frown. "That makes sense. I just..." More frowning as she gives her head a tiny shake. "I don't know. I'm not against it, but what am I apologizing for? Killing it? Yes, I'm sorry. I wish I knew? But I don't recall killing anything. I was literally just playing tag in a park with my best friend when it happened. Doesn't that make the apology pointless?"

"No." Nicky says, shaking her head. "You're avoiding responsibility. You may have been a child, you may not have meant it, but you still took away its freedom in its eyes. They don't often have a concept of too-young-to-understand. It's just that you did what you did. And they can feel if you're truly repentant." She sighs and crosses her arms. "At this point, it probably won't work for you. Even I can feel your apology would be empty." « Last Edit: Nov 22, 2015 23:51:39 GMT -6 by Nicky-Lee Young » Back to Top   It has begun.

Amtrum had called her a Killer in their first training session, but now she had to wonder: was it for her friend, or the power? One was six feet under and long buried, but the other? That one was leashed to its killer. She shudders, and not just from the cold. Back to Top   Nicky-Lee Young Hero Paradigm Black Ops [color=darkgreen]WOOP WOOP!

Nicky says, turning to her power. The woman shows the faintest signs of disappointment before nodding and bursting into snow, returning to Nicky. Nicky then glances between Eric and Rebecca.

The attitude thing, not so much. "So it either hates me for forcing my will, for not apologizing for killing it, for apologizing to it without meaning it, or I find sympathy with it." Or another way, whatever that may be. She's got a good ten years of it hating her to catch up on if that's the case. "And stuff just keeps rotting until then."
