Playing in the creek was one thing, but being there all the time seemed to suck up a lot of Austin’s free time.

It wasn’t the first time Cass Warden caught the man there - exercising his powers, from afar, Austin stood in the water, the stream caught between his legs as he forced his hands forward, trying to pick up a large couple hundred pound boulder that had wedged themselves in the earth down the middle of the stream. While somewhat secluded from the subdivision, they both hailed from Austin, and often spent their time here ‘practicing’.

Exactly what that would be would change from day to day, what brought Cass Warden here watching the man was a different story for her to tell entirely.

Cass wanted a quick escape from everything, just some alone time at the creek to recharge and maybe get some homework done. Not that she’d actually do it, but the thought was there. So the moment she saw Austin stanced up in the middle of the creek, trying to move a boulder with nothing but his mind, she felt her mood sour. She wanted a quick out from all the childishness from school, not another dose.

Worst part is that he could probably move it and succeed. He had the power to do so, she’s seen it first hand once or twice, and that only soured her mood more. 

It was stupid, it was all stupid. The world seemed to pick people to be heroes at random, it was completely nonsensical to someone as average as her. 

She finds herself frozen at the creek’s entry, standing behind a tree or two and a few bushes. Austin didn’t see her, did he? It’d be awkward if he did, and frankly she didn’t want to talk to him for more than a second. Not in this mood.

So the boulder moved, bigger than the ones he carried with his powers before - it took strength, moxie and a bit of panache but the senior went to see it through, and he lifted it into the air before dropping it back into the river - a small tidal wave of water flinging itself towards them in both directions as Austin was swept up back towards Cass Warden - perhaps even herself splashed in the aftermath of the young man’s tomfoolery or chase for super power prowess.

That’s terrifying.
That’s really, [i]really[/i] terrifying.

Cass finds herself frozen as the boulder is dropped into the river, and she makes a poor attempt at shielding herself from the splashback. When she walked off to find a peaceful spot to write, she never thought she’d have seen this: a superpowered dumbass levitating boulders and playing in the water. 

Straight out of a superhero comic.

Her mouth is halfway opened and she’s tempted to say something, but this is good dirt should Austin ever piss her off. She wrings water from her skirt, pushes her bag aside, and steps off. She could use this, she could use this…

Austin… was actually a little cool.[/center]
