You're Tied Together With a Smile But You're Coming Undone (open)
Cait sat on the shore of the lake and looked out across the water. The temperature reached seventy and the sun was bright. Light danced on the water. Normally Cait would be out on the water, but today she was content to sit on a rock on the shore. Plus she was still adjusting to the change in her powers. She still had hydrokinesis, but it wasn't as strong as it had been. She still had the ability to turn into water. It was weird and she had only tried using it once since she returned to Xavier's.

She knew the other students didn't blame her for what she had done as Famine, but it didn't mean she felt any less guilty about it. She had destroyed numerous crops and villages around the world. People would go without food and some without homes because of her.

Tomorrow she'd go home to Nova Roma with her parents. Some time away and some TLC from Mom and Dad would go a long way. She wasn't sure what Corey was going to do, but she hoped he would go home too. Driving him crazy would make things seem more normal. Though she wasn't sure how normal things would be able to get, especially with her blue hair. She had Jenny try to change it back, but it didn't work.

Cait picked up a stone and skipped it out across the water.

	"I wouldn't be surprised," she said with a chuckle. "You'll get the external stuff. It's just a matter of time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Please. You give me way too much credit," she said and blushed. "Hold still."

Cait had to concentrate really hard. Since the Poccy stuff, her powers weren't what they used to be. What she did with ease before, he had to focus on now.

Water came from from the lake and was in a glob about the same size as him. Slowly it began to take shape. After while it was a liquid image of Aaron. Then it solidified into clear ice.

Cait was sweating by the time she was done.

	“That’s amazing,” Aaron says looking at the statue of him, “Definitely better than a light show.” When he turns to look at Cait, Aaron notices that she looks sweaty. “Are you feeling ok,” he asks getting closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not nearly as good as the light show," Cait said and put a hand out to lean against a tree. "I'm okay. That just took a lot of effort. One of the side effects, I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-03-20 02:21 am UTC (link)
	“Okay,” Aaron says, “Well lets agree to disagree about which was cooler.” “If you want I could give you a lift back up to the manor.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Sure,” he says taking a seat against a tree next Cait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait slid down and landed on her butt. She felt like she had just run a marathon or something. She leaned against Aaron without realizing she was doing. "Sorry. Ever since...it's been more of an effort to use my powers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-03-20 02:36 am UTC (link)
	When Cait starts leaning on him he puts an arm around her holding her. “Well I’m sure there’s some behind maybe it’s one of those give and take things like your hand and your hair, or maybe it’s something mental that the professor could help you with,” he says trying to say something that might help her.

	Cait leaned against him for strength and warmth. "Maybe. I don't have as much hydrokinetic power, but now I can turn into water. Maybe it is a give and take." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-03-20 02:43 am UTC (link)
	“Well for the record I got that give and take thing from you when you were taking about your hair earlier,” Aaron says very content with them just sitting there. “But who knows maybe some of it will come back with time.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-03-20 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"I can hope," she said. "I'd like to have my powers back and get rid of this other one. I'd even keep the blue hair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Don’t underestimate that new ability, because it did save you from that fall I caused,” he says , “but I understand what you mean.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-03-20 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"You have a point," she said. "I would have been killed if not for being able to turn into water. It's still weird. I guess I'll get used to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-03-20 03:01 am UTC (link)
	“Well I wouldn’t know much about turning to what but I am a living capacitor, so I do know what it’s like to get close to your element,” he said, “and I think if you combined your powers you could do some pretty badass stuff with them.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-03-20 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Cait looked away. She had done some badass stuff with them. Stuff she was trying to cope with. "I guess. I need more practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-03-20 03:09 am UTC (link)
	“You probably could make yourself float through the air doing that,” Aaron says, “But I know your still adjusting to everything and maybe practice could help you take your mind off of things.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe," Cait said quietly. "Dinner was a nice distraction. Thank you again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-03-20 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	“I’m really glad you had a good time,” he said, “Like I said earlier if you want to do this again let me know.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-03-20 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"I do," she said quickly. Was that too eager? "When I return from Nova Roma I'd love to go out again. If you do manage to come to Nova Roma, I will cook dinner for you." They didn't exactly have restaurants in Nova Roma. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“That sounds great,” Aaron says smiling, “If you make dinner I guess I’ve have to make you something afterwards.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-03-21 04:12 am UTC (link)
	"You don't have to do that. It would be enough that you visit," Cait said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
