Damn Paperclip [Open]
Julian glared at the paperclip. Or, rather, the charred shard of metal that used to be a paperclip, which was sitting on the floor of an otherwise empty sensorium.
He had tried to pick it up and move it, something that should be a simple task for a telekinetic like him, but his precision control was still shot to hell. He ended up using too much energy in too small a space, which resulted in an explosion.
For the fifth time in a row.
It was getting annoying. He used to have perfect control. Hell, he was on the verge of learning how to disassemble molecules. Now, thanks to Emma unleashing him into overdrive, he can move a mountain through sheer force of will, but can't pick up anything smaller than an SUV without exploding it.
He was getting better at it with practice, but it was slow and frustrating. But damn it all to hell if he was going to ask for help. He could do this on his own. He'd just have to try again.
Which he did, having the sensoriums make another paperclip for him. All he had to do was concentrate, focus, grab hold of it, lift it and then.... then shield his eyes from shrapnel as that one exploded too.
"Dammit..."

Re: hope you don't mind.
"Oh. You."
This was actually the first time her saw her since...
"You want something?"

"Uhm...no, no! I came in her thinking I could see how the sensoriums worked like Sofia told me, but I didn't know that somebody else - you - was in here already." She looks down at her feet, then back at Julian. "I kinda wanted to see how they worked..."

He really wasn't sure how to react to her right now. He wasn't terribly fond of her, though Cessily held a grudge against her, which was rare for Cess. But Laurie was more or less background noise to him.
"It works just like the Danger Room," he stated, like it wasn't really that big of a deal.

"Do you...do you want me to leave you alone?"

He considered his response for a moment, then shrugged. "I don't really care." It's not as if he was doing much.
