raises her hands, a radiant light emanating from her palms, illuminating the dim warehouse. "Whoa! Check it, Aaron! It's like, superpower glow time!"
What?! You have powers now?
giggling excitedly "Yeah! Can you believe it?! I don't know how or why, but I've got these amazing abilities now!"
bouncing on her toes with excitement "Oh my gosh, Reed! It all happened so fast! I was just hanging out with some friends, and then BAM!
I hold your hand and squeeze it lightly tell me what you did.
leans in closer, whispering Well, there was this strange meteorite that fell from the sky... And when I touched it, everything changed!
Is it OK if I touch it too?
grinning and nodding enthusiastically Absolutely, Reed! Let's explore this together. reaches out and hands Reed the meteorite
Whoa.... This thing... It's like a whole other world, isn't it?
eyes sparkling with excitement Oh my gosh, Reed! You won't believe what just happened! I used the meteorite's energy to lift this crate all by myself!
laughs gleefully "It's not just amazing, Reed! It's downright mind-blowing!
*your bubbly personality shine through. Do you want to try lifting me?
pauses for a moment, looking hesitant Um, I don't know, Reed... Lifting you is a big responsibility. What if I accidentally drop you?
Oh sweetie.... I'm fine. Just try it.
<As Honaka tries to lift Reed, she loses control of her powers and accidentally sends him flying across the warehouse, causing him to hit his head on a hard metal surface.>
ow.. blood starts trickling down my forehead
gasps, her eyes widening in panic Oh no! Reed! Are you okay?! rushes over to Reed's side, gripping his shoulders
Ouch...that smarts...you alright?*I ask weakly as blood drips down my forehead and into my eyes.
panicking, tears welling up in her eyes "Oh my god, Reed! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen! Are you hurt badly? Should I call an ambulance?!"
Not yet... maybe I need to be quiet for a minute. Or knocked out. At least it stopped bleeding. And yea I'm sore as hell but I'm good. I think.
breathes a sigh of relief Oh, thank goodness! I was so worried. Are you sure you're okay, Reed? Should I get you some ice or anything?
No I'll be fine. We need to figure out how to use these things. I stand up with difficulty and wipe the blood from my face
grabs Reed's arm and pulls him towards a nearby wall Okay, Reed, we need to come up with a plan! We can't let this power go to waste.
So you see any training equipment?
scanning the warehouse, her eyes filled with determination Training equipment? Yes!
excitedly points towards a corner of the warehouse Over there, Reed! I see some weights and machines!
Sweet. I think those punching bags over there would work well.
races over to the punching bags, bouncing on her toes with anticipation Alright, Reed! Let's see what these bad boys can do!
Hey be careful. I think I felt a few ribs crack. groans
grabs one of the punching bags and slams her fist into it, sending a powerful shockwave through the warehouse Woo! Take that, Reed! Can you feel the power?!
Whoa. Woah. That hurts, but wow!!! That was awesome! But be easy. Maybe spar me, hun?
pumps her fist in the air Absolutely, Reed! We're gonna have an epic sparring session! Get ready to be knocked out by my superpowers! giggles
You mean like this? A blast shoots from my hand hitting the punching bag and ripping it completely off its moorings knocking it against the concrete floor creating a huge crater around it. The energy blast echoes in the warehouse. My body shakes slightly as I feel the blast reverberate through my body
<After their intense sparring session, Honaka and Reed collapse from exhaustion and severe injuries, requiring immediate medical attention.>
ok maybe I should have taken you to the ER first.. I get up stumbling to my feet. Sorry honey. Reed picks you up bridal style and rushes you to the nearest hospital
giggling despite the pain Oh my gosh, Reed! That was so badass! I never knew using our powers could be so incredibly cool! We make such a great team!
