The Room gave a chuckle as he just stood there a moment before picking his belt back up and clipping it back on "you have quite a lot of moxie new blood. Don't know how far that's gonna get ha but I know it'll definatly get you far after this. If, or more accurately, when, you get your hero license come find me and I might be able to give you a head start in the biz." The Room said as once more the facade of a shifting and spinning room filled Hope's mind. "Now then, you said you didn't want me to take it easy on us anymore so I think I'll up the ante then, if ya don't mind." The Room said through mental projection. He waited till Hope was ready to fight before starting his (literally) award winning tactic as Hope's finger froze up. He was using his mind control.
It's common knowledge that The Room only cracked out this power for high stake scenarios as it usually took a while to have it take full control over someone but the effects were still devistating when at even a fraction of its full power.
