12 DNA Strands - Eva

[kid_apocalypse]

[After talking to Stephanie, Evan has been keeping himself busy,  trying to find Supergirl. He knew she was likely gone for good, but he didn't want to believe it. He's combed every inch of what's left of the Lewis and Clark, the town, the woods, and even a mile or two out into the Dead Zone, and hasn't found anything. That why he's sitting on the roof tonight, clad in a fancy new suit of armor (though he asked the castle for a G on the abdomen, instead of the A pictured), and he's got his guitars surrounding him, as he plays a tune over the journal, before speaking.]

I...didn't know her as well as I would've liked, and...I'm sure it's obvious to everyone who knew her, but...Kara Zor-El....Supergirl....has gone home.

[Following that, Evan's just gonna sit on the roof, his legs dangling over the edge, as he watches over the grounds and the town in the distance, lost in thought.]

[He shrugs.]

Well, I'll admit, I was inspired by that armor I was wearing when I came here...and my cousin Jono back home. He's got a special coat he wears, that keeps his powers from going all over the place, and focuses them so he can use 'em better. It just doesn't make sense to amplify my powers, when I have trouble controlling 'em as they are. I figure this way, I can use both my shapeshifting and my energy powers in more creative ways.

[He shifts his cannon-arm back to normal, before shapeshifting it into a shield of sorts, with his hand and arm forming sort of the "spine" of the shield, enabling it to bend and flex as much as his arms can.]

Amplifying what you can't control would just be dangerous. You've taken a safer more effective route and maybe it'll help you control them better without the armor some day. It makes sense.

[His eyes widen, he hadn't thought of that!]

Wow, you're right! God, I never even thought of that! Maybe what I should do is make a training program to push my powers to the limit while I wear my armor, and then do it again without? See if I can do as much controlling my powers the old-fashioned way, as I can when I'm controlling them artificially.

[whistles_the_blues]

It's worth a shot. Even if it doesn't work, the worst that happens is that you know your own limitations.

[kid_apocalypse]

Heh, yeah. I just need to make sure I do it in the Danger Room or someplace like that. Don't wanna destroy anything important by accident, heh.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sure everyone would appreciate that.

I've heard of the "Danger Room," can't say I've ever been there myself.

[kid_apocalypse]

Oh, it's great! Parts of the walls can slide back to reveal like laser guns and spinning blades, pitfalls and stuff like that, but then there's also the holograms, which can be programmed to be pretty much anyone you want, and the Danger Room'll recreate their abilities and strengths based on the information you feed it.

I've...actually been thinking about cross-training against my ancestor, see how I stack up. I know my powers aren't probably even a tenth of what his are yet, but I wanna try.

[whistles_the_blues]

Interesting. [He can't say he knows any with any particular abilities he'd want to train against. Training in general may just put too much strain on his core.]

May not be a bad idea. The program may come up with even more variations of how to use your abilities that you didn't think of.
