Well. I can help with the exercises we give some of the kids. Ray, Amara, even Jubilee. I can also just, you know, be a sounding board. The Professor has one on one sessions with all of us, to discuss our powers, and I'd be lying if I said sometimes just talking doesn't help.

[cajunspice]

You want to get me talkin'? More than normal? [Remy let out a whistle.] Silly fille. [But...] Merci.

I think I can push beyond what I could normally do, want to be able to do more than just charge an item. 'm sure I can. I got creative with trainin', but kinda buttin' my head 'gainst a brick wall.

[shades_of_jean]

Please. I lived with Kitty for over a year. You think I can't handle the likes of your chatter after that? Like, as if. [She mimics Kitty's vernacular for a moment, playfully, before getting back to the subject at hand.]

Your powers are based in the transference of potential energy into kinetic energy, correct? What sort of-- creativity are we talking, here?

[cajunspice]

Chargin' things I don't normally. Most of the stuff I did before was simple, chargin' the object I was holdin', not what was in the object. Other than to reheat coffee, but even then, it was still heating the mug, not the liquid itself. Transferring the energy through an object and into another behind it.

That 'nd thinkin' just 'cause I can charge solids, why not liquid, merde, or gas. Still all molecules, right?

So far... things just goin' boom. 'nd not that stuff 'm tryin' to make explode.

[shades_of_jean]

[She nods, eyebrows going up a bit. Those... are some terrifying goals. ] Good. Good. Good to have steps towards mastery. Maybe hold off on trying to charge the air just yet. That sounds terrifyingly close to "atomic explosion" and I don't think we want to go there, just yet.

[cajunspice]

When ya say it like that...

That be much more long term. For now, just want to make it through the day without the need of burn cream, or an ice pack. For now, just usin' the energy as it comes to me, but gotta be a better way to manage it than just burnin' it off.

[shades_of_jean]

Yes. [Back on track with positivity! ] We could probably try to get one of the tech-heads here to build some sort of power storage device. Burn off your energy by translating it back into potential energy in the form of electricity.

[cajunspice]

That works for short term, thought rather be able to do it m'self.

...I got an idea. May not be smart. [He takes a moment to think.] Isn't smart, at all. Down right dangerous. Which... ain't really a problem here, with the whole reset button we got goin' on here.

It 'long the lines of chargin' air, 'nd multi-layerin' chargin'. A kinetic shield. Can light it up 'nytime I need it, burns off excess without a big light show.

[shades_of_jean]

What-- like a force field? You're right, that does sound dangerous. But I think that's sort of the name of the game with your powers. [She allowed, with a smile.] That's a good goal to work towards, though. Maybe start a little smaller, though; Charge something touching something you're touching, by passing the charge though it. Then try and charge that thing without charging the intermediary object. ... Then maybe charge something without touching it at all?

[cajunspice]

Don't quite get that last one, Jeanie. Ya sayin' chargin' without havin' physical contact with 'nything? [That... that wasn't something Remy even considered possible for his powers. But then again, he was never at this level before.]

That... that one will be a challenge. 'nd a lot of work.

[shades_of_jean]

[She shrugs, stirring her drink.] It seems like a natural progression to me. But they're also not my powers. If you can't do it, you can't, and there's no shame in that. But it's maybe something to try. And the force field business. That sounds useful!

[cajunspice]

Oui, that it.

Talkin' 'bout force fields, to a sense, ya own. Those barriers ya can use, they not 'ctually objects, non? Projected thought. So means they couldn't be charged, right? That might come in useful, if I get over my head 'nd can't control a charge.

[shades_of_jean]

Not objects, no. And I would be happy to spot you in your power-training. If you ever get into a spot, just call out. [She tapped the side of her head, indicating 'with your mind'] I'll drop whatever I'm doing and come help.

[cajunspice]

Was hopin' might be able to make it a regular thing, like we use to have. Just, more ya helpin' me out than playin' one on one. Usin' that shield of ya, will be able to push m'self more than I have been, knowin' I won't lose a limb or 'nything.

[shades_of_jean]

Oh, absolutely. We can gear up to that, see how well my shields do against your explosions. I have no reason to think they won't be effective, [she is quick to add,] I'm just more a fan of wading in, than the cannonball, if you will.

And of course we can make it a regular thing. I was starting to miss our other regular thing, so I'm happy to have a new one.

[cajunspice]

Well sure, if ya want to be smart 'bout it all, sure, wadin' in be fine. [Remy teased.]

'nd I do too, just didn't want to risk bein' 'round too many people 'til I got this thing more or less under some control. Only seemed smart.

[shades_of_jean]

Seems fair. And smart. How unlike you. [Her eyes twinkle with amusement, as, obviously, she's teasing, too.]

One thing-- and I'm not GREAT at this, but it is something I should work on-- I can always make 'force fields' when I'm not physically with you. Like, you can call out to me mentally, and I can start making a shield for you before I even get there. They're not as strong or foolproof as the ones I can, uh, see, but it's at least something.
