She had expected to left alone to her brooding just as she had been while they were driving in the van. Not that she was going to back down from a challenge. If Lucian thought that he could push her around just because he was 'in charge' he had another thing coming. She was about to show him who the real boss in this group of theirs was. With a small grin on her face she quietly uttered, [color=00aeef]"Bring it."[/color] Sticking out her arms to her side, Astrid began to channel her energy into her palms. She struggled for a moment, trying to regulate the flow. All she wanted was to give him a bit of a jolt, not kill him. It felt like trying to hold back a wave in the ocean, impossible. All her body seemed to want to do was explode out. Breathing deeply she slowly calmed her hammering heart. [i]You are in control, not the energy. Work with it, not against it. Funnel it to your palms.[/i] All things she had been taught over the 10 or so years she had been training. The sparks, that had been momentarily before crackling through the strands in her hair, faded away as the energy pooled itself into her hands. Finally in control Astrid focused on her target. Lucian's shirt. Time to burn a nice big hole in it. Bringing her right arm back, she held it in position above her head, in a stance like a professional baseball player. The stance lasted a fraction of a second before she threw it forward, releasing the pressure in her hand. Faster than the eye could see a thread of electricity shot out. Pulled down by the connection to Astrid's hand, it acted like a whip slicing down through the air towards Lucian.
