/Honey, impossible, my ego is always already at 100%./

[hexcope]

/Anyway, have fun at the club. You can tell me how it goes tomorrow morning. Assuming you don't have a hangover./

[sophielicious]

/I'm kind of excited, not gonna lie.

In the meantime, you need anything? I can literally feel you plunging. Don't hurt yourself./

[hexcope]

/Oh, you can feel that?

That's the thing: it isn't hurting. I can crash land at five miles per hour, twenty, sixty, and it doesn't hurt./

[sophielicious]

/Of course I feel that. You still don't know a whole lot about telepathy, huh?

There's gotta be a limit. I just ask you to be careful./

[hexcope]

/You know I don't, but it's not exactly intuitive that you reading my thoughts means you'd feel what's physically happening to me.

I'm being careful. No civilians around, no wildlife around, and that's why you're keeping track if I go quiet./

[sophielicious]

/I'm too lazy to explain it, but yes, I can feel what you feel. The list of shit we can do is long. The others more than me, because I'm literally the only non-Omega-level telepath in this place, but still. Pretty cool. Very annoying at times.

You almost never go quiet. It is a huge red flag, yeah. When we're back to Etraya, I'm sticking you in the Danger Room./

[hexcope]

/Wouldn't that be empathy rather than telepathy? Which would explain why you were annoyed when I was in a bad mood- you were feeling my emotions as well?

Wow, alright./

[sophielicious]

/Not all empaths are telepaths, but all telepaths are empaths, I guess. God, I know this guy whose codename is Empath, because guess what, that's what he is, and he's a major asshole.

But, yes, that's it. That's why I said you were ruining my vibe./

[hexcope]

/Someone should name him Unempath. Since he sucks at it?

Real quick: what's a Danger Room?/

[sophielicious]

/He has zero of it.

Oh. It's what it sounds like. It's basically this room we have at the mansion that simulates stuff so you can train in./

[hexcope]

/Nothing to worry about, then. I don't have these abilities in Etraya. I'll be back to being a "no-powers loser," as Quentin called it./

[sophielicious]

/You'd be upset if I didn't tell you this, but you can buy them in Etraya, Aurora told me. And I know you, so.

Also, don't take it personally. He's being nice, I'm pretty sure./

[hexcope]

/Uh, what?

Buy them? With points?

... And I could have these forever?/

[sophielicious]

/Don't make me regret saying yes.

But yes./

[hexcope]

[He doesn't respond with words. Just an overwhelming sense of shock, hope, and fear. Fully bluescreening.]

[sophielicious]

/... Sigh./

[hexcope]

/It's a lot for me to think about right now. You just... don't know how long I've wanted this./

[sophielicious]

/I'm going to let you process./

[hexcope]

[He doesn't respond again, but he does seem to at least have stopped throwing himself at the ground.]

[sophielicious]

(And she doesn't respond either. It's not the time to pop his bubble when he barely processed what the bubble is.

She's watching from afar. Quietly sipping on a latte, sighing to herself. Power brings headache, Talis.

It takes her a full day to come back, hopefully he fucking chilled.)

/Hey, pretty boy. Done with your crisis? We're can talk now?/

[hexcope]

/About what?/

[sophielicious]

/About whether you keep your powers when we're back or not./

[hexcope]

/I'm going to ask for them, yes./

[sophielicious]

/Okay. I just want you to know that... It's a big thing, Jayce. It's like, 98% shit, 2% fun. As in, the staple X-Men saying is "welcome to the X-Men, hope you survive the experience" sorta shit.

Not to mention, well, people. You know how I feel about that part. In the end, if you really want it, sure, and I'm there to help you where I can. I just want you to consider everything and I'd be mad at myself if I weren't real with you and something happened that made you regret it./
