Kalinda thought on that for a moment, "If I didn't have any powers, I would be happy. I would be normal. I wouldn't be vibrating with the feeling of emotions, and I wouldn't be worried about blasting the school apart" She said, her tone neutral, but cracked as she continued, "I wouldn't have caused a guys death, and I would be in normal school, would be blissfully unaware of all the horrible things in the world" She sighed heavily. 

"You have your strengths, Devika. You aren't your powers. Anyone can be a hero, or a villian, if they just know how. You don't need powers for that. Besides, what's the point of getting stronger if you don't know how to use it? What's the point, if it isn't your strength?"

Devika shook her head a bit. "Kalinda, what makes you think I don't know how to use strength? Also, I am doing this for my own confidence. I want to be stronger, I want to not be wheezing after 2 flights of steps, and I don't want my belly to jiggle like gelatin when I brush my teeth. I am not my powers, and therefore I have to make what is me- my body- stronger. Hero or villain isn't the point of this." She pointed to the weight with her free hand.

"The point is me being a better me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to do a cooldown."
