There's only one magic guy on this team!
In the middle of the Thunderbolt's kitchen, a familiar swirl of blue flame comes out of nowhere and the young mage pops in. He'd come on a very important mission.

Ice cream sandwiches.

A species so rare in this freezer that it was almost extinct. Every single time they'd get more boxes of the stuff, it'd disappear almost immediately. Even the ones he'd specifically labelled with his name on it!

Now to find out if there were any left. The freezer door swings open on its own. There were boxes yesterday surely....

"JACK!"

Before he can stop himself he blurts out, "He stole my hat! I had to stop him!" Almost immediately he regrets saying anything. This was not the way you went about trying to convince people you had more control over yourself than you actually did, and this certainly wasn't how you kept your place on the team.

But he has a feeling Bea has more to say so he tries to be preemptive for once and just ask straight out. His fingers twitch nervously as he fiddles with his hat before deciding to go for it and a very quiet voice comes from the intercom, "...Are you going to kick me off the team now?"

	"You had every right to get your hat back. Now we need to dis -- no. No, that's not how this works, Martin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Isn't it? Because I messed up and got really mad and froze Jack and Manny and the room and the HQ and I didn't control myself and-and...and I could've...done worse. And people never want team members who can't control their powers well..." He looks down at his hands, which shook slightly, partly from nervousness and partly from the magic running through them. Wasn't it a requirement that people needed to control their powers to be on a team? If they couldn't well...those people weren't on teams were they? And some of them had to be...dealt with. He didn't want that to eventually happen to him.

	"Okay, Martin, I want you to think about what sounds smarter, working with someone to make sure they have better control, or just throwing them out and not knowing how their control goes from there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But if you just keep people who you need to watch out for they're not useful so there's no point in having them right? And then you'll find a more reliable magic guy and I won't get to stay..." "...Can I please stay? Please?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're still useful, Martin. It's not the biggest shock that there are things you still need to work on. You're staying. Magic guys aren't a dime a dozen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The relief that floods through him is palpable and he turns to smile at the intercom, even if they couldn't see him. "I can? Really? As long as you don't find another magic guy?" Oh, first he owes some apologies. "And can you tell Manny I'm sorry I froze him too? He didn't do anything so I shouldn't have..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're not going to go looking for another magic guy anytime soon. Come back here and tell Manny yourself... I'm going to take Jack to the other side of the complex. See you, Martin." Hanging up, she turns to Jack. "So let's go talk." (Reply to this)(Parent)
