"Oh. Maybe I can make a glowy person that does stuff? ...but I dunno how to do it."

Permalink

"I just sort of- try to do it, and I can. I can't explain it very well."

Permalink

"Okay, so I'm gonna... try to make a glowy person?" She closes her eyes—

—and her shade reaches for the other girl—

Permalink

Doesn't matter, the shade's fast—fast as thought—it doesn't do anything, but what's Ellie expecting...?

Permalink

-She remembers that it hurt, when someone reached for her like that.

Permalink

It doesn't hurt.

But nothing else happens.

"Did it work?" she asks, not opening her eyes.

Permalink

"...I don't think so."

Permalink

She opens her eyes and frowns. "I don't know what to do then."

Permalink

"Do... you get any sense of how it works? It sort of looked like your power wanted something from me."

Permalink

"...not really, I didn't feel anything."

Permalink

"Maybe someone will find us."

Permalink

She looks at the shades. "Can't you swap one of those?"

Permalink

"I dunno if I have anything that'll," handwave at all the concrete debris, "work."

Permalink

"You don't know all the things you have?"

Permalink

"I said I don't remember!" she snaps.

Permalink

"Sorry! I just meant—maybe there's a way to, like, think about it and your power tells you. But I guess mine doesn't so maybe that's not a thing."

Permalink

Deep breath.

"I can try looking."

Permalink

Nod.

Annnd- focus. Something to move or destroy or call for help.

Permalink

So many things destroy!!!!!

Permalink

Oh. Well. She wants to get rid of the stuff on top of them without being crushed by it falling down or also being fried.

Permalink

Hmm, maybe this laser power? It's a form of light so it shouldn't have problems with the forcefield.

Permalink

...Let's try. Drop two-form, bring out laser.

Permalink

It's a very straightforward power: point a finger at a thing and sustain concentration and the thing will start burning and breaking.
