Practicing Control (R at worst)

Skye was getting good at her powers now that she had been at the Brotherhood for some time.  She was thankful for the help and recruitment from Neal, he had really helped her see how powerful she could become.  Still, she had the bangles around her wrists and they still hurt her.  Now however, she was able to not need the sunglasses over her eyes for she could control the brightness of her eyes.  Now they were a dull yellow shade unless she got stressed then it would be blinding like a flashlight.  

So here Sky was, the main floor of the mansion playing with a ball of electricity.  She juggled it around, controlling the shape and size, really focusing to get it to stay in her hands and really get herself to learn full control.  It was going well until she heard someone approach from behind, making her jump in fright and the electrical ball shot out and out of the window, shattering it and making a loud thunderous boom like when lighting hit the ground.

"Woops...."

Neal brought his cigarette to his lips and took a deep inhale, exhaling it a second later and watching the smoke curl around his head.. He snapped his fingers repeatedly, before standing up and striding across the room, moving back to his chair, before moving to the window and peeking out of it for a moment, his eyes darting around the clearing that stood in front of the Mansion.

It was a beautiful day out, and he knew that the fresh air would do him good, it would at least calm him down, but he couldn’t help being twitchy here. He felt like he was being watched constantly, felt like the world was out to get him. They probably were, but he hadn’t afforded himself the luxury of finding out. He just knew bad stuff was likely to get him.

Neal paced across his room for a moment, the cigarette moving to his lips before he let it fall down to his side, without even looking he flicked it over towards the ash tray, where it landed lightly and went out. "Gotta take a walk..." He growled to himself, grabbing a jacket and pushing the door open.

He walked downstairs, watching his steps when suddenly he heard a thundering boom followed by windows shattering. His immediate reaction was that a M.R.D., polices, or perhaps X-Men had attacked him. But he saw Skye Perkins who seemed accidentally let out her electrokinetic power.

Skye looked over to the stairs and blushed slightly embarrassed that she had messed up and destroyed the window and caused thunderous booming noise.  She bit her lower lip and looked up at Neal and shrugged like she was sorry yet proud of herself.

"I at least have some control now.." She said in a soft shy tone and smiled.  She always liked Neal and every time she saw him she found herself more and more attracted to him.  Of course she would never tell him that. Not yet at least.  She still couldn't touch anyone without electrocuting them.  Although it had dulled down to static shocks it still wasn't something she would risk sharing feelings with and risking a relationship that would only be a no touch.

"You aren't mad are you?  It's only the second one in a month..."
