"I will not take offense if you decide you don't want to prop up villainy now either."

"You're not doing any villainy right now, and I don't think it helps anyone for you to be running around insane, especially since you already had powers."

"If I end up running around insane with my powers someone should definitely kill me."

"I think I'd personally preferentially go for sneaking up on you for emergency guiding."

"That... is probably safe in some situations but not all."

"When wouldn't it be?"

"If I was dropping buildings without regard for my own safety."

"Can you do it from the air?"

"No."

"So I'd pick you up."

"I suppose that would work."

"I'm strong now!" She scoops him.

...smooch.

Smooch!

"You're very cute and I hope we can work out the supervillainy thing, it seems awkward."

'Yeah um. The supervillain thing seems very stupid to me right now but that might just be the backlash talking I don't know."

"We'll see what you think when you're done backlashing then." Nuzzle.

Mmm... good nuzzle.

Lucien has some ideas for activities to do in the meantime.

Turns out it's still a pretty neat way to kill time even if she's not insane.

Lucky him.

Eventually it's Lucien's turn for the backlash to subside.

"Welcome back to the world of sanity. How're you holding up?"

"Hrm. I.... think that could have gone a lot worse."

"Oh, yeah, most people have to get through awakening without any guiding and sometimes without even being sure they're becoming espers."

"Yeah that definitely sounds like worse. The guiding and the knowing what was happening and also you being there were all very helpful."
