((Double post))

The Supernovas

Sky viewed Jack with reasonable skepticism as he spoke. The explanation he provided her with seemed to make a great deal of sense, after all she had been abducted by aliens and experimented on to get the powers in the first place... A little sleepwalking wasn't so extraordinary. It was the sleep talking that didn't sit right with her, causing her face to flush red with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry about that. Really I have no idea where that could have come from. I mean, you don't even look like a bob." She chuckled sheepishly, eyes squeezed shut to hide the emotional flicker behind her lids. Why must you haunt me so?

It had been a little while since anyone had spoken that name to her, and it was not one she was thrilled to hear. Unsure of why she would call herself Jade in any situation, Sky simply shook it off and followed Jack out the door, passing by him as he paused to check his phone. There was a new girl in the mix but she took no notice of her, lost in her own thoughts of her sleepwalking adventures.

Sky waited while Jack removed and disabled everything in the room that would allow the government people to listen in, adding her own touch as mentioned by her friend. "I am uneasy. None of this makes any sense, the stories aren't matching up with what I remember. The last thing I remember is arriving on the beach before waking up in one of these cells. I figured they went ahead with their plans for quarantining us but according to that Jason guy, we were at a mansion at one point. Did something happen while I was out? I can't help feeling that I'm missing something." As strong as she was becoming, the pain her abilities brought to her was starting to show on her face, a jolt of pain through her head causing her grip on her powers to falter and fail. "I've just woken up and I'm already exhausted. The side effects of this power aren't pleasant at all."

"Mansion?" Sky said questioningly, her right eyebrow raised in her confusion. "We didn't come here first?" She glanced over at the woman the group had been quarrelling with before thinking better of her actions, and instead turned her gaze toward Jack. "Jack, if you have a minute can I speak to you... Privately." The expression she wore in that instant was blank as if every emotion she was capable of had gone numb, her mind elsewhere even as she spoke. It only lasted a moment though before her teeth sank into the flesh of her bottom lip, pushing away from the wall to walk back the way she had arrived. She didn't have a destination in mind, she was just going to walk in that direction until she was away from the woman who attacked them.

Sky raised an eyebrow at her hair being messed with but remained silent and instead leaned her back up against a nearby wall. "Yes, but using your extraterrestrial gifts to knock her around is much better." She chuckled with a sigh at the double standard, glancing around at each of the faces. Among them were two faces she did not recognize, one of which approached her. Glancing at him warily, Sky nodded. "Yeah, fine. Use of my power apparently results in massive headaches and sensitivity to sound. This was like having your music blasted on full while wearing headphones. I'll be okay in the long run." Her voice had taken on an informative tone, as if she weren't really having a conversation but spewing information like a computer. It however shifted as she stared at Jason's face for a moment longer. "I'm sorry... I feel like I've met you before but I can't remember who you are. You didn't escape the ship with our group did you?" Mentally she kicked herself for the amount of time she had been unconscious. It was a massive blank space that freaked her out every time she thought about it.

Rubbing the spots from her eyes, Sky scowled in Jack's direction. "Whose side are you on?" Having a heightened sense of hearing caused the blast of Jack's new card to be extremely painful but unhampering of her ability to make out her surroundings. With the world as back into focus as it was going to et in that moment, Sky turned to the woman on the floor with a look of distaste. "You are aware this 'Wind-Girl' is the one leading the soldiers around that tried to kill us, right?" She winced as the throbbing in her head spiked momentarily before dulling down to the throb once more. "I've got a massive headache now because of her, I should at least get to return the favor." Crossing her arms she leaned back against the wall in an irritated fashion, taking a moment to look around at her surroundings. "Can we leave yet? They've had us since we escaped from the Vitus ship, I have people I need to call."

The gusts of wind took Sky by surprise. She wasn't aware anyone else had powers like they did, or that anyone else had been taken and returned. The thought made her uneasy, that they would have hidden such a thing from the public. Didn't they have a right to know about events like that? Then again, this country wasn't known for its transparency. A rather forceful gust threw her back against the wall, knocking the breath from her. When she focused on her surroundings again, Al had taken off down another corridor and the new guy was chasing off after the woman. Not wanting to be left behind, she scrambled to her feet to rush after them but the soldiers that had been behind the woman rounded the corner swiftly. "Great." She groaned to herself, backing herself up against the wall. Looking around at her situation, she realized the walls closest to her were made of metal, it was the insides of the rooms that were padded. Taking a deep breath Sky let out as loud of a scream as she could muster, focusing her mind on the direction of the sound. Picturing it in her head, she could see the waves bouncing between the walls like a bouncy ball, building in strength before she willed the mass forward. The soldiers before her, despite the earplugs they had taken precautions to wear, were holding their heads and chests as is the noise has shaken their very bones. "Never doing that again." She winced regretfully, feeling the beginnings of a migraine in her brain. Clutching the side of her skull, she charged the stunned group of men and began lashing out at heads, knocking out the men with hesitant kicks. "For the record, you came after me. This is self defense." She spat conclusively, jogging in the direction of Al and the other guy.

Last week wasn't a good time for me, but everything is better now so I'll have my post up soon.

Yeah, sorry. A little distracted. In the process of filling out job applications, getting ready for the start of a college semester and adopting a dog for the family. With all that going on my brain is a little frazzled. Considering a minor boost in power for Sky/Jade but I want to make sure it makes scientific sense before I just do it.
