Dude, when I said sometimes the City gets boring, I so did not mean I wanted to see it turn into a Times Square tourist trap at Christmas kinda mess.

Seriously. The Carousel is even lamer than the department store windows. Trust me on this.



[ooc; ...honestly? bring out whoever you like, doubles freak me out a bit but Tommy can probably handle it. XD]

But like, how do you know how to get them to go where you want them to?

[passingthrough]

How do you know how to go really fast?

[team_sociopath]

That's different. Anyone can run, I just run faster.

[But... well, he knows how to do other things, and those are harder to explain. Food for thought, at least. It's not like he expected her to give him an instruction manual.]

[passingthrough]

It's second nature. And I think you have a specific reason for wanting to know. Spill.

[team_sociopath]

It's complicated.

[He glances around, decides it's probably not the best idea to blow up anything big or important. So he grabs a discarded soda can. Not idea, but he can make this work.]

I told you, I do other stuff.

[passingthrough]

Go for it. I showed you mine.

[team_sociopath]

[He holds it on a flat palm and just looks at it for a while, lips pressed flat in concentration. It takes a moment for anything visible to happen; then it starts to twitch, slowly, in his hand. The pace picks up and before long it's wobbling like the metal's turned to jell-o, and then-- BANG!-- it's shrapnel, falling over his fingers.]

[There's no flinching of any kind as she watches. Of course she stayed phased as he did it.]

Hmm.

A little Gambit-ish.

[team_sociopath]

[Poor Tommy, fated never to seem original.]

I'm pretty sure I should be able to... move things, the right way, you know, to walk through a wall.

[passingthrough]

Vibrating to the point you go out of phase? [Hey, she's smart. The word genius has been used. Granted, usually more with computers than genetics.]

Did you do it on accident or did someone tell you that's possible?

[team_sociopath]

Someone else did it accidentally. I told you, it's complicated.

[passingthrough]

Your a mutant, right? It's always complicated. Like twins with different coloring.

[team_sociopath]

Oh, no, the secret's out. [Deadpan Tommy is deadpan, and obviously kind of amused.] No relation. But the City, yeah, the City's always complicated. Body switching kind of complicated.

Gah, wrong form of you're! Noooooo! ;;;;

[passingthrough]

[Smirks] Someone used your powers, the ones you've had for a little while and worked with regularly, better than you after ten minutes or so?

it happens to the best of us, especially in the middle of the night? <3

[team_sociopath]

It was a fluke, okay?

/cling!

[passingthrough]

[Laughing.] Sounds a little embarrassing.

[team_sociopath]

I blew up his bed.

[Not really related, but it made him feel a bit better, honestly.]

[passingthrough]

Tantrum? Or did you just fail at controlling his powers completely?

[team_sociopath]

If you woke up the way I woke up you'd've blown something up, too.

[passingthrough]

Oh yeah? Good story?

[team_sociopath]

Bad story. [Shudder.]

[passingthrough]

Those are usually the best kind to hear.

[team_sociopath]

Sucks to be you, then.

[passingthrough]

Tell me about it.
