I have to actively think to do everything, except my invulnerability… And my strength, I guess. [He shrugs. He’d been using his powers for so long they were more a reflex now, than a conscious thought.] So, are we taking the elevator down or the short-cut?

“I kind of..want to try the short cut if I can..I mean I’m pretty sure my body will just float..?” she wonders, walking over to the window and opening it up, the smell of paint wafting out into the cold air of winter. A light breeze blows past her, lifting her hair up and it’s as if the air curls around her body, lifting her up off the ground slowly and moving her toward the window.

Her mind had been on flying, thinking about it with the window open and the distance of space between the window and ground level so perhaps it’s why her body was being attracted to flying now. It hadn’t been about fear or curiosity as her ice powers were.

“O-Oh my..” she whispered as she began to float out the window. “J-Jack!”

She tried not to be afraid and in her mind, even if he couldn’t fly, she had immediately thought of her boyfriend first, having that sense that he would catch her if she fell.

Jack is there, rushing over to her, and reaches out to her and touches her legs, pretty sure she doesn’t want to float out the window just yet but it’s hard to tell. “Katelynn, Katelynn it’s okay, it’s okay… here, here!” he grabs a cord, the same one he used before, and ties it around her ankle. “I’ll secure it in here, and it’s one of those super long ones so you should be okay… okay?”
