The minute Mike was sure he wasn’t about to be knocked onto his feet by one of Emily’s power surges, Mike relaxed his position and laughed along. He glanced over at the red box and furrowed his brow slightly. What on earth is she doing with that? His wondering was interrupted by Emily’s comment "What are you doing sneaking around the woods, Mikey? Any rogue criminals running about up here I should know about?" He cringed at her use of his childhood nickname, speculating not for the first time when she would stop seeing him as the lifelong friend he had promised to be before he had been old enough to realize that she was a girl, and therefore not a boy. “No, I er... I got the afternoon off, so I thought I’d do a little hiking. You know, get some fresh air.” He watched her as he spoke, tilting his head slightly as she closed her eyes, doubting she was even aware how beautiful she looked in all her concentration. Suddenly the box began to hover, before being crushed by the shear force of her ability. His shock was visible on his face and he didn’t try to hide it. “You’re expanding your ability?” He tried to sound nonchalant as he asked, but he wasn’t to sure he pulled it off. |
