Learning Control (R at worst)

Skye needed help controlling her powers.  Now that there had been a take over by Shikon and Lakai, Skye had asked for help from them to learn a bit more since Neal never really worked with her.  Plus, Shikon had promised her that they might finally figure out a way to remove the bangles from her wrists.  So, during the afternoon, Skye stood in the main room of the lower level working on an electrical ball.  Her hair was down as usual and she wore a sweater so that if any of the other two accidentally touched her they wouldn't get electrocuted.  

Sighing, she made the ball grow in size to a good basketball size and shape and began to balance it above her hand so it floated in the center of her two hands.  She focused on it, trying to hold it in the spot and pulled her top hand away.  Her eyes glew slightly brighter, lighting up the room while her focus was on the ball and not her eyes.  Soon, her eyes were so bright she needed the sunglasses on to not blind anyone.  She took her lower hand away and focused leveling the electrical ball but soon she lost control and the ball shot out.  Luckily, Skye left the windows open so that as it flew, it left the room and out the window without shattering one.  It hit the tree outside and another thunderous boom sounded.  She sighed and focused on her eyes, lowering the brightness and noticed Shikon and Lakai behind her.

"oh.. um hi.."

Shikon watched as Skye handled her powers. She was good, but she need definitely needed to learn better control. As the ball flew out the window a thunderous sound came and Shikon laughed a little. He could remember when he was that bad with his powers. "Hey, that wasn't half bad, but you need to work on your control. Size won't mean much if you can't keep it from hitting the wrong target."

Lakai pulled herself up onto the rafters and lounged across one of them like a jungle cat. She watched from above lazily and rolled her eyes. " Dont coddle her love. Its okay to tell her it sucked. She wont die of embarrassment." She thought back to when she lived at home. She wasnt coddled there. Why should these kids get any better?

Skye sighed and looked at the two.  She bit her lower lip and nodded. "It's hard to handle the electrical ball and keep my eyes dim.  I can't seem to do one or the other..."  She the turned to Lakai when she entered and laughed slightly at being criticized.  She needed to learn control, she figure this was the way it was going to happen.

"What do you suggest then?"

Lakai rolled over and hooked her legs on the rafters. She hung upside down and proved visually that she was not wearing a bra at the moment as she dangled. " Stop trying to do everything at once."

She let herself drop and at the very last second she twisted in the air and landed on her bare feet. She padded over to Skye and touched her bare skin. Skye's powers didnt shock her or hurt her at all. She closed her eyes for a few moments and tested out how her powers worked. She absorbed a little of the girl's power to see what she was dealing with. " You are trying too hard. Instead of fighting the current work with it. Work with the flow instead of trying to block it."

Shikon smiled, he was more or less there to make sure Lakai didn't hurt Skye too much. He was also there to observe the bangles. Something wasn't right with them. They shouldn't be draining her powers that much, and taking her control away. There had to be a way to take them off. "Sky she has a point. Fire is the same way. You can't fight where the flames want to go, you merely provide them with a direction to go in and let them do as they please. Watch, I'll show you what we mean." Shikon took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. His powers came forward He felt his power come forward and his hand lit up. This all happened in the span of a second. He then extended his hands and a let the fire go it's own way. 


"See what I mean? The fire can be shaped and and sized differently, but in the end it does as it wants and there is nothing I can do to stop that. If I try to the flames sputter and die or I lose all control that I had to start with. It's a delicate balance."

Skye's eyes widened when Lakai touched her skin, surprised that she didn't electrocute her.  She gasped and winced at first, thinking that she was about to kill her until she saw Lakai was unharmed.  "You can absorb my power huh?"  She said, feeling it slightly.

"It's so hard because my entire body wants to just shoot electricity out, my eyes, hair, hands.  But I'll give it a shot."  Skye said and sighed, shut her eyes and tried again, forming a small ball of electricity. Again, her eyes glew brighter at the same time as Skye focused on the ball rather than her eyes.  She let it flow, her hair also brightening as the ball grew and she let it go, and soon everything about Skye was electrified.  Her skin grew currents over it as she let herself calm and let the electricity do what it wanted as Lakai suggested.  Skye was basically a human lightening bolt.

"I don't think this is what you meant is it?"  Skye said and quickly withdrew the electricity into her body, the bangles absorbing most of it.

Shikon was impressed, and it took a lot to impress him. Wait a minute. Do exactly what you did again. Don't change a single thing. There's something I want to see. I need to be closer so try not to kill me, okay?" It wasn't a serious comment, just a joke to keep her calm. Shikon took a step closer. There was something about how the bangles drew in the electricity. Something was weird about them. They didn't drain powers.

"Become a human wire?"  Skye asked and shrugged.  That was an easy thing to do.   Without really trying she screamed out in frustration.  Her body lit up with electrical currents running everywhere along her body.  She tried to make it brighter but suddenly the current flowed right into the bangles.  The bangles pulled all of it into them and then she gasped and grabbed her wrists.  

Skye fell down and gasped in pain grabbing her bangles.  Tears flew down her eyes but they were not normal tears.  Bright yellow, electrified tears dripped from her eyes and once they reached her cheek they too flew to her bangles; absorbed.

"That really hurt....."

Lakai sat on the floor and rolled her eyes. "This is why mutants are still hiding and powerless. They are a bunch of giant babies. Life gets a little hard and they cry and crap their diapers. LIFE IS TOUGH. WIPE YOUR FACE. WIPE YOUR ASS. GET UP AND TRY AGAIN."

Skye glared at Lakai, her eyes glowing brightly and full of rage at the girls words that Skye turned bright yellow.  Her entire body glew yellow, electricity.  It hut badly, the bangles absorbing some of it as she growled and shot the entire electrical shape at Lakai without thinking.

"How's that you fucking bitch?"  Skye asked as the human shaped electrical force flew at Lakai in full force. Skye fell over weak and onto her bum, gasping right after she yelled.  The bangles having drawn a lot of her energy from what she just did.  The human shaped electrical force was a first ever, Skye didn't know she could do that. "I've...never...done that before...."

Lakai knew what she was doing. she saw the shape coming from a mile away and was able to easily dodge it. she grabbed it from behind and slammed it into the ground where it discharged into sparks. she walked over to skye and loomed over her. " A bit better but exactly what i expected. Learn to do that without having to get mad first. Getting mad helps but it also makes you stupid."

Skye frowned at Lakai again, confused.  She had never done what she did ever since developing her curse 3 years ago.  It was painful too what she had just done.  Of course, she wasn't going to tell them that, instead she rubbed her wrists and sighed.

"My curse has never done anything that extreme before.....How do I do that again?"  She couldn't look the other mutant in the eyes, scared that what she did was bad.  Skye wasn't used to being complimented on her gifts, only hit when she used them.  M.R.D was horrible to her as she grew up, she only recently had been a the brotherhood.  

"M.R.D used to beat me when I used this curse...How do I do that again Lakai?  The anger helped but it hurt too, but you said no anger... I'm just so confused."  Suddenly, her body lit up again as she got upset, but it lingered on her.  Just her skin glew brightly, lines of electricity ran down her skin easily seen but moved so fast that it made her look yellow like a flashlight.

"What's happening...I've never done this before?"  Skye began to hyperventilate.

" Stop being such a sniveling baby and focus. You WERE in the MRD but you arent NOW. Focus on the energy in your body and channel it. Feel the energy and control where its going. You spazz out like that and it will be your own fault when you explode."

"These fucking bangles won't let me do that Lakai.  Why don't you understand that?!?!?"  Skye screamed out and another blasted of electrical lighting flew from her body at Lakai.  It created a thunderous sound effect as it left and went to its target.  Se screamed out in pain again, grabbing her wrists and fell to her knees as the bangles absorbed the left over electrical retreat.

"The bangles won't let me do that Lakai, they hurt when I try, you don't get it.  It goes to my bone marrow, to my blood.  Every time I do what I just did, things I've never done it hurts me more than it ever has.  Like it's punishing me.  I want hem off.  Get them off of me!"  Skye screamed again, her body suddenly shielded with an electrical sphere that covered her entirely almost like what Bobby drake looked like when he turned all ice.  She screamed in pain but the electricity didn't vanish.  The bangles kept absorbing it, that was clear yet Skye kept pushing it out of anger until finally she couldn't take the pan and collapsed on the ground and screamed again in agony.

Lakai rolled her eyes and cracked her knuckles. " Im done trying to teach you. You dont want to learn. You want people to pity you. Baby you. Get ahold of me when your pity party is over little baby." She turned and walked away from the girl. Life was pain. You pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and you get yourself back in the saddle.

Skye cold barley hear Lakai or see her leave the room, the pain was so intense from her anger.  She wasn't doing it on purpose.  He body hurt badl the bangles shocking her over and over again as punishment for trying to control her powers.  What Lakai didn't understand was tht te bangles punished Skye for trying to control and gain strength, they held Skye down, punished he when he tried to be strong.

"Help...." Was all she could say as her body was it over ad over with pain.  Her body jolted like it was getting electrocuted.

Shikon sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. That went wonderfully he thought to himself as he crouched near Skye. He smiled at her, even though he wasn't sure she could even see or hear him. Gently he grabbed her hand and picked up her arm. He felt volts of electricity go through his body, but he had felt greater pains and this was just a pinprick of pain.

Shikon looked closely at the bangles on her wrists. There spike like things digging into the flesh all the way down to the bone. Shikon could feel the heat and electricity being absorbed, and then it struck him. "Skye I understand these bangles now, and I understand what they're doing. It's quite clever of the M.R.D. I never knew they had this kind of technology. You need to sit up and listen, ignore the pain. Pain is weakness, and you don't want to be weak. Lakai and I are strong because of the pain we endure."


Shikon helped Skye to her feet, and wished Lakai was still in the room. He wanted Lakai by his side at all times, he didn't trust anyone else in the house not to attack her.

Skye soon started recovering her senses and was able to start hearing Shikon.  She sniffled and let him help her up, looking at him, hoping she wasn't causing him too much pain by him touching her skin. "You can let go, I don't want to hurt you..." She was shaking, angry, scared but managed to stand tall again.

"Is she always so mean?  I really was trying... I just can't do it wihout hurting.  It's hard... Can you teach me to not care about pain?"  Skye asked and looked at Shikon with hurting eyes of need.  She wanted to be strong like he and Lakai, wanted to be free.

Shikon smiled at laughed when Skye mentioned hurting him and if Lakai was always so mean. "Well you aren't hurting me, I've learned that pain is a state of mind. It's something you can teach yourself. As for Lakai she had a rough past, as did I. She found anger in her past, while I found peace. She believes that no one should be babied. She is my love though. I calm her when she needs it and she angers me when I need it. We are perfect for each other."


Shikon laughed  "Forgive me for ranting. Anyways yes I can teach you to ignore pain, I can teach you to be strong. I can show you the path to power the likes of which you've never felt. I only have one rule for my teachings; No matter what happens unless I say stop you keep going. You keep training. Even if you think you are hurting someone you must keep going. Am I understood?

Skye listened to his words and felt sorry for Lakai but also inspired that they had found one another a real romance story and she smiled.  "It sounds like you both are from a book in how you found one another."  She laughed and listened on about how he was going to train her. 

She nodded to his words, feeling inspired and also happy someone was going to try and help her.  "I promise I'll try my hardest.  No one has ever tried to help me.  Neal never helped me when he brought me here.  So thank you.  Really.  No one has ever tried to help me.  They've always seen me as a danger, as a live wire as they've nick named me.  I actually kind of like it to be honest.  Like my super hero name or super arch name or something."  She laughed and pulled her hair back behind her ears.

Shikon laughed and smiled at Skye. "Are you ready to start? It will be tough and you will not always enjoy it. But just know that I am your friend and I do this because you want this. So are you ready, and willing to undergo the training?" 


Shikon held out his hand to shake Skye's.

Skye nodded but didn't take his hand.  It was a habit of hers not to touch others.

"Agreed, but I still won't shake your hand.  I don't want to electrocute you.  Just a habit.  Unless this is required that I have to shake it."  She said and laughed slightly and cleared her throat.  "So uhh what's first?"

Shikon kept his hand held out. It was a lesson in the making, and she wanted to be taught so he was going to teach the best way he knew how. "I guess it is required. Now please, shake my hand." Shikon smiled at Skye, but there was something behind that smile.

Skye gave him a look of 'you're kidding me right?' and hesitantly took his hand.  Surges of electricity much like holding a live wire while in water went rippling to him from her hand uncontrollable, of course if the bangles were off it would be stronger.  She winced in her face, remembering all too well of the people who would touch her and shake and die in front of her eyes at M.R.D when they experimented on her powers strength.  

Skye slowly began to pull her hand away right after she took his hand.  She couldn't bear accidentally hurting him horribly.
