Letting off steam (open)
She let of a blast of electricity, the voltage enough to power a city block for the better part of a day.  She followed quickly with infra-red radiation, then microwaves.  Radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays.  Toni was immune to the effects of the radiation itself, and the room would scrub itself down afterwards, but the effect of expending that much power left her feeling both better (not unlike cooling down after a day in the hot sun) and worse (tired, burned out, spent...).

She finally stopped and carefully unclipped her armbands, placing them in the unit that popped up, and replacing them with the next pair in the sequence.

Thirty-six hours this time.  Thirty-six where she hadn't otherwise expended any injury or taken in any additional power.  She'd started feeling hot... too hot, as the timeline had gotten closer.  She could make it longer if she was actively using her abilities, though she rather needed to expend any extra she took in fairly quickly.

She sighed as she snapped the armbands into place.  That brief moment where her energy was entirely unregulated was a terrifying one, the power surging up and making her every nerve stand on end, but it passed as the devices performed their function, regulating her body's energy flow.

Mutants were supposed to be immune to the effects of their own powers.  Why the hell were hers so screwed up?

She made her way back upstairs, to the kitchen, finding a frozen dinner in the freezer.  She popped it into the microwave and took a big step back and away.  She didn't need to pick up any stray rads.

Three minutes, according to the little digital timer.

"That is, granted, nearly a given here, from the impression I have received."

Gah! Stupid rich white girl, thinks she knows best...

Toni clamped down hard on that thought. That wasn't Anya. That was her own fear of death talking, making her irritable. She always was after a big discharge like that.

"All right, fine," she said. "We'll go out. But because I want to. Not because it was your idea."

"Uh huh," Anya smirked. "Besides, you know you need to go to keep me out of trouble."

"So what are the both of you in the mood for?"

"Okay, now that much is true. We got great barbecue down here."

"Barbecue it is then," Anya said with a grin. "Ready to go, or do either of you need a moment or two?"

Legate rinses his glass and puts the cylinder in his pocket, just in case. "I am ready."

Toni transfered the contents of the microwave dinner to a Tupperware dish and put it in the fridge.

"Good to go."

"I'll buy, you drive," Anya said to Toni. "Left the car at home."

Toni led the way down to the garage. "Car preference?" she asked.

"Not for me," she said. "Whatever you want to drive."

Legate shrugged. "I have no car."

"All right," Toni said. She picked one of the cars at random, a Camero, making sure there was enough backseat room.

She plopped behind the wheel. "Let's roll."

"That was really good," Anya said as she sat back in her chair. They had gone to a barbeque place and the food had been amazing. "Thanks for bring me to this place."
