What The Luck!?

Jane began her stretch and other preparations to try and shift again. She needed to make sure she would be in optimal condition so she wouldn't risk hurting herself. Art and Asher were taking the chance to spar a little while Art manipulated the speed of his hands using his gloves.

"Jackson, how high exactly can you throw me do you thing?" Sammy had realized that Jackson was the strongest out of all of them and that she was one of the lightest. It was very real for here to be thrown all the way to the high crow longs of the gym.

"Honesty? I have no idea. I don't want to to be like the wall at camp where I could have jumped over it but didn't know my limits." Jackson had that on his mind constantly since camp.

He had thought for a second that if he had been in another situation he could have hurt his friends. He knew very well he was inexperienced in controlling his body. But even more, he didn't know his strength at all. For all he knew he could throw Sammy through the ceiling. 

"Then maybe only…is a little strength." Sammy didn't feel as confident. However, she did trust her friends and Jackson was very careful. She knew he dealt with delicate plants all the time and that he would be able to hold himself back.

Sammy let Jackson pick her up. He had one hand under her foot and another on her lower back. "Ok, I'm going to throw you now, be ready." To Jackson, Sammys' weight was nothing which didn't surprise her at all.

He slowly squared and took a deep breath. With a decent amount of force her pushed off the ground and pushed Sammy in the air. I'm just a second she was ten feet above Jackson's head. 

"Wwhoooooooooo!" She couldn't help but yell out. It was like a roller coaster. She had been shot in the air like a bullet. The only thing was, that it was over too soon and she was falling. She desperately remembered she was supposed to fly and instead was just sending a gust of wind down to slow herself. 

She drifted down like a falling flower petal right in to Jackson's open arms. "That. Was. Perfect!" Jackson breathed a sigh of relief as he was told he hadn't overdone it. 

"Then, I can throw you again. But I'll try an extra foot higher…if that's alright?" Sammy just nodded vigorously wanting to get in the air again.

"I don't know why you are so afraid to train your super power with me. I've dodged your lightning sparks before. And we will get you something to train control better from modern technology class." Laura couldn't help but feel annoyed seeing how Louis was acting so timid about training his power with her.

"I know, but what if you do get hit and it zaps you? You could get lightning burns, your heart could stop, or you could get sent to the hospital. These are all just a few bad things." Louis was exasperated since Laura appeared not to be listening to him at all. 

"Then you zap me again to start my heart. I go to the nurses' office to have the burns treated. Or I go to the hospital and just deal with it. I am not afraid of the risks. It makes me work harder. I need to focus on my movements and keeping myself in the right mindset to use my super power. You need to safely use your lighting to attack. Perfect combination. I will dodge you will attack." Laura put her foot down making Louis instantly feel that he had lost the battle. 

"That's better, now get in a stance and try and shoot some lighting. I bet if you leave all but one hand wrapped up it will help you guide it." Laura had thought of this when the group was talking about making a wired device for him to practice direction and controlling his lighting. If he could use external items to assist his training, then he would eventually be able to lessen the safety precautions over time. 

Louis thought on this for just a few moments before he nodded and started to unwrap one of his hands. "I have no idea where the lightning will go but I will try and make it smaller controlled bolts. The problem is that it can branch out to whatever it wants. Once it leaves I have no way to stop it." This was where his main worry came from, however, Laura was already bouncing in place waiting. 

"Focus on the muscle...use...small...movements…" The slightly whispery voice of Cara came in to Louis's ear. He knew she was working on a similar power control aspect and thought that the advice was good. He quickly raised his hand. "Thanks…" Cara had been watching and thought that Louis could use her techniques to help his own powers. It was also [part of her training. 

Having the advice from Cara made Louis gain even more confidence than before. With this, he closed his eyes and focused on the electricity in his core. He could feel that it always tried to lash out and escape even though it was part of him. It was a wild beast that he didn't think he could control. Lightning was used to the freedom of the clouds and sky. 

He did exactly as Cara had advised and felt his stomach tighten to push the lightning through his body. Net he flexes his muscles to make the lightning head towards his arm where he began to feel the lightning fight back. The larger muscle groups had been able to push it here and there giving him control to a degree. However, the lightning was now compressed in a smaller place with smaller muscles. 

His arm was only letting some flow which made a small sparking at his palm. This was not what he needed. Laura was still watching him waiting for the right moment to move. Annoyed that he wasn't able to get the lightning to cooperate slowly Louis relaxed then flexed all the muscles again. The lightning that had been slowly trapped and resistant was forced forward and out on one quick burst. 

The sharp crack made everyone looked toward him and the newly blackened piece of the floor where Laura had been standing. "And you thought you would hit me." Laura was full of confidence while Louis was sitting in awe at what he had just done. 

He had not controlled the power but he had made it do the direction he wanted using brute force. The next challenge was to refine this move further. He knew that there was a lot of work to do and he would be using up all the lighting his body had generated. 

"Nice job Louis!" Asher yelled over after his attention was drawn to the lightning Louis made. 

He's really making a lot of progress. He hasn't ruined anything in the classroom in a little while." Jane had kept an eye on the classroom electronics and noticed that there were no longer newer and newer ones being sent to them. They had gone over a week without anything disappearing and showing up brand new. 

"Good for him. I bet Laura is having fun. She has a portable random obstacle generator now." Art thought it was hysterical since Laura had hated the electrified wires obstacle. But now she was over the moon to dodge lightning. 

"Really, not paying me any attention?" Asher threw a fist straight at Art who barely reacted in time and ducked to the side. 

"You two were both distracted though. And it is my turn." Jane had just drunk down another of the adrenalin protein shakes since she had finished stretching and was ready to go. 

"Are you sure you're ready to go? Asher was still worried but when he saw the determination on Janes' face he had his answer. 

The two watched as Jane started to shift in to her full super powered form. Her medusa super power was insanely strong when it was fully in use. Jane looked like she was in full form as she moved toward Asher and Art. "I guess it is one against two here." Asher was a little worried now that Jane was going all out again, but this did not mean he would be holding back in any way. 

"Wh said it was one against two? It is every man for themselves!" Art dashed at Asher and tried to tackle him. Jane also rand forward and tried to land a kick on Art before he escaped. The three fell in to a mess of dodging and attacking trying to catch each other off guard. It was the perfect practice to sharpen their awareness and keep them moving. 

Art was using his super powers on his gloves so that the metal inside would slow down when he pulled his punched back so that he was ready to punch out again. It was proving to be an excellent test of strength.
