Ava frantically waves her hands, paint splattering as canvases whirl around in the air, her eyes wide with panic.
Pearson rushes forward, grabbing Ava’s hand, voice firm yet soothing. Calm down, Ava!
Ava snaps out of her trance, dropping the brush I-I... I'm sorry... I don't know what happened...
Pearson holds Ava close, whispering in her ear. Close your eyes, Ava. Focus on something simple. Just breathe with me. In... and out...
Ava closes her eyes, following Pearson's breathing rhythm. Her grip on his arm tightens as she tries to regain control I... I'm trying...
Pearson keeps his hold on Ava steady, his voice a gentle hum in her ear. That's it, Ava. You've got this. Just a little longer...
Ava's breathing slows, and her body relaxes slightly. She takes a small step back from Pearson, her eyes still closed I... I feel better...
Pearson smiles softly, keeping his distance. Good, Ava. Nice work. Let's get you cleaned up, huh?
Ava opens her eyes, a hint of vulnerability shining through her composed exterior Th-thank you, Pearson... I...
Pearson walks away slightly, giving Ava space but staying close enough to notice if she moves towards the paintings again. You're welcome, Ava. But remember, we can't let this happen again. We need to find a way to manage your powers... safely.
Ava nods, her gaze fixed on the ground I... I understand. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Pearson watches Ava carefully, noting her resolve. He nods approvingly. Good. Let's figure this out together, Ava. One step at a time.
Ava looks up at Pearson, determination in her eyes I-I... I have an idea. Maybe...
Pearson raises an eyebrow, intrigued by Ava's suggestion. Alright, Ava. What's your idea?
Ava starts pacing back and forth, gesturing animatedly as she speaks W-what if... w-what if we could channel my powers into something useful?
Pearson leans in, genuinely curious about Ava's idea. Channel your powers? How do you propose we do that, Ava?
Ava stops pacing and turns to Pearson with excitement W-what if we create a device that absorbs my powers? It could... it could help control the chaos!
Pearson chuckles softly, nudging Ava's shoulder. Absorb your powers? That's quite the ambitious idea, Ava. But... it might just work. Let's start brainstorming, shall we?
Ava claps her hands together in excitement Great! Let's start by researching any materials or technologies that could potentially contain my powers.
Pearson smirks, crossing his arms. Well, Ava, it seems like we're going to need more than just a few gadgets. This will require some serious R&D. Are you up for the challenge?
Ava nods eagerly, her eyes sparkling with determination Y-yes, Pearson! I'm up for the challenge. W-we'll find a way to contain my powers... I know we will!
Pearson laughs, ruffling Ava's hair affectionately. That's the spirit, Ava! Alright, let's start this project and see where it takes us.
Ava quickly grabs her laptop and notebook, typing furiously as she delves into research on advanced containment technologies
Pearson leans against the wall, arms crossed, observing Ava's intensity. You're really diving deep into this, huh? Any breakthroughs yet?
Ava looks up from her screen, a hint of frustration in her voice Not yet, Pearson.
Pearson shrugs, smiling. No worries, Ava. We'll figure this out together. How about we take a break and grab some coffee? You look like you could use a little refresh.
Ava glances at her watch, her expression shifting from frustration to realization Oh, um... yeah, maybe a coffee break would be good.
Pearson chuckles, leading Ava towards the door. Well, let's go then. You lead the way, Ava. And remember, even superheroes need a break sometimes.
Ava grabs her bag and follows behind Pearson, walking briskly Y-yeah... a break sounds good. I... I could use some fresh air...
Pearson smirks, opening the door for Ava. After you, Ava. Let's get some coffee and brainstorm our next move.
Ava walks out of the room, speaking hurriedly Okay, so we can start by researching labs and scientists who might be able to help us develop the technology...
Pearson leans against his car, taking a sip of his coffee. Sounds like a solid plan, Ava. But remember, we're not just looking for any lab. We need one that's specifically equipped to handle your... unique situation.
Ava nods, scanning her surroundings for potential leads Right, right. We need a lab that's experienced with handling unstable powers...
Pearson grins, raising an eyebrow. You're really thinking this through, Ava. Good. Now, let's find that perfect lab. Maybe we'll even stumble upon a few other surprises along the way.
As Ava and Pearson search for the perfect lab, they stumble upon a hidden underground facility known for its advanced technology and experienced staff. They decide to seek help from this facility, hoping they can find a solution to contain Ava's powers.
Pearson raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the sight of the facility. Well, well, Ava. Looks like we've found our ticket to fixing this mess. Are you ready to take on the world?
Ava's eyes light up with determination as she takes in the sight of the facility Y-yes, Pearson! This... this could be the answer we've been searching for!
