The Library, Thursday

[genesishero]

Evan's spar with Surreal yesterday had him thinking. And when Evan got to thinking, that's generally when the researching started happening. And that was why there were books on his desk about honing one's natural-born metamorphic abilities. Or, if that failed, the ones about shapeshifting might have what he needed in there.

When he didn't think anyone was looking, he had his hands under his desk and was attempting to shift them into various objects from the examples in the books. No weapons yet, he did respect that this was a library, after all, but he was kind of proud of the teakettle that he'd managed at one point. Who else had teakettle hands, right?

He had to shift back before turning the page, though. Teakettles didn't have fingers.

Re: Talk to Evan!

Victor was going to need to ponder that one for a while. "I get stuck on how you'd throw them," he said. "Like, the mechanics of it. And how you'd reattach them if you had to. Can your hands pretty much be whatever you want them to be, or are there limits?"

"I think I would just... grow new hands," Evan said, after a moment of pondering that. "Instead of trying to stick blades back to the ends of my arms, I mean. And if there are limits to what I can shapeshift them to... I don't know. People aren't exactly jumping up and down to tell me if I even have an upper limit with my powers."

The train of thought was probably something along the lines of, 'give him a ceiling, and sooner or later he's going to try to break through it.'

"... Or much of anything about what I can do. Up until the other week, I thought a little bit of shapeshifting and some energy blasts were about it."

"And you went way past that the other week?" Victor asked gingerly, and it wasn't that he was jealous, really. Only a villain would be jealous. But when your powers were all based around magnets and electricity, 'a little bit of shapeshifting and some energy blasts,' plus flying, already made it clear Evan was in a different weight class -- even before you added in extra Apocalypse stuff.

Which was evil. And therefore not cool at all, Victor reminded himself.

Really.

Evan didn't necessarily want to be in a different weight class, even! But if he was, he had made up his mind that he was going to need to know what he could do, so that things like what happened the other week couldn't happen again.

"I brought down a building and I nearly killed Sabretooth," Evan murmured. "I would have, if Logan hadn't stopped me. I... yeah. Way past."

Everything around him had burned.
