[i]He will not be my Barney! He will steal her from me![/i] That was the very first thought that shot through David's mind as he heard Alex's offer of help. [i]Wait...why am I thinking that?[/i] David was confused for a second. He quickly glanced over to Artemis, who'd just fired her arrow charged with lightning. "Oh god..." he thought out loud. [i]It will be god damn hard to impress a girl who can shoot lightning arrows.[/i] A few moments later and they were supposed to shift. Though David was still quite a bit distracted. [i]Should I accept the help of Alex? Should I even go after Artemis in the first place? She's way out of my league...No! Man up, David Fletchers! You are a man and a mutant![/i]

Right about then did Beatrice ask David about his powers, he literally jumped, as he had sunk quite deep in his own mind. "What? Powers? Oh yes, powers! Right. Euhm..." [i]What should I show? What Should I show? What should I show?[/i] David's mind was utter chaos at this point. After a second he got an idea. With his left hand pointing towards the target, he motioned up. A purple haze surrounded the target, making it float half a meter off the ground. Then, with an open right hand he pointed at the target, gathered his particles and launched a small concentration of plasma at it, scorching its surface. [i]Damn it! I have to show I can do more. More! More! More![/i] And with that mindset the target suddenly flew a few meters straight up. Surprised, David released his grip on the object, and it came plummeting back towards the ground. With a dreadful face he turned to Miss Letterman and said: "Sorry!" While clenching his teeth.
