When A Problem Comes Along

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 10:53 am

Sergei, in his training suit, stood in a field strewn with stone columns of various sizes. Despite his loathing for his new abilities, he knew he needed to learn how to use them effectively. So he extended a long metal cable from a metal arm and swung it hard into a marble pillar, breaking it and sending it falling like lumber.

"...Bloody hell..." he said as the tentacle snaked back into his wrist.

"Already found the Danger Room I see." Nash said as entered.

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 8:21 pm

"You can't blame a bloke for being curious," he answered as he turned.

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 2:02 pm

"I guess not, everyone tries it out sooner or later."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 2:15 pm

"I'd expect so."

Why does he...

"You were there, weren't you?" he asked, "It's... still all a bit fuzzy."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 4:29 pm

"Yes, I was there. Not too surprised you don't remember given your state at the time."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 6:57 pm

"Nonetheless, you have my thanks."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:01 pm

"You're Welcome. Though, if it wasn't for you, who knows how long it would have been before we figured out what was going on there."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:15 pm

"That part I do remember. I'm glad I was right to notify the X-Men."

"Sorry about that damned cat thing not being as dead as I thought. Bloody thing would have killed me if I didn't regenerate."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:22 pm

"I never saw the metal cat until after it was contained, I'm not really sure how much trouble Sara and Dr. Bowen had with it."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:57 pm

"Be glad you didn't. I'll never be able to look at a house cat the same way again."

"So, no sending you links to I can has cheezeburger, got it." Nash smirked.

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 10:41 am

"Yeah... I didn't even find those funny before."

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 4:28 pm

"Most aren't, only reason I've looked there recently is links one of my cousins occasionally sends me."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 5:00 pm

"Admittedly, I rarely had enough free time to waste any on the internet."

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:53 pm

"I probably won't have much time once classes get started full swing."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:58 pm

"Have a major yet?"

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 8:14 pm

"Mechanical Engineering."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 8:22 pm

"Ahh. I understand the Engineering Program here is top-notch."

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 8:30 pm

"Yes, it certainly is."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 8:36 pm

"With toys like this room, it comes as no surprise."

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 8:52 pm

"Won't find something like it at most colleges." Nash grinned. "So, still testing out your powers, or do you want to try them on something more interesting than hunks of rock?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 8:55 pm

"I thought I'd start small, but if you have an idea I'd welcome it."

"I... sort of expected a pillar to be more of a challenge..."

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:02 pm

"Hmmm...maybe not anything that fights back yet... how about just moving?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:26 pm

"Such as?"

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:59 pm

"How bout something like this."

Two clay pigeon traps appeared to his sides. The one on the left one launched a disc almost immediately. Hope he was ready.

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:34 am

He wasn't ready, and missed completely. He got closer with second shot but the speed required of his tendrils to catch it just wasn't there.

"I don't think speed is in the cards for me."

by **Nash Riley** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:31 pm

"Okay, something slower then. Ugg... can't think of anything good, guess we will go with this."

With that a floating sphere appeared, moving in a somewhat randomized circular pattern in front of Sergei.

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:46 pm

"Want me blindfolded too Master Yoda?" he smirked.

by **Nash Riley** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:03 pm

Nash let out a brief laugh. "Nope..no blindfolds. Besides, its not shooting lasers at you... but... that could be arranged." He smirked back.

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:13 pm

"That won't be necessary," he chuckled lightly. He lashed at the sphere but it dodged.

"Ah... tricky little blighter isn't it?"

He struck with a feint, then sent the other tendril directly for it. The pointed metal cable stabbed right through it.

"...bloody hell, would you look at that?"

by **Nash Riley** » Tue Nov 04, 2014 7:58 pm

"They do seem to have a good bit of power behind them."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Tue Nov 04, 2014 8:29 pm

"Aye," he said as he reeled in his tendrils. "But I tell ya, superstrength is a right bastard to adjust to in your bloody thirties."

by **Nash Riley** » Wed Nov 05, 2014 9:04 pm

"I think sudden power changes would be difficult to deal with what ever your age."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Wed Nov 05, 2014 9:34 pm

"I imagine they would at that," he agreed.

"What are your abilities anyway?"

by **Nash Riley** » Wed Nov 05, 2014 9:58 pm

"I can perform some kind of extrasensory analysis of the physical properties of... things. I get a little bit just being close, but much more in depth with touch. Up until recently I mostly used it with making items, I could picture in my head what I wanted to do, and my powers would sort of guide me in doing that. Lately I've been trying to learn to use it for other things, beyond just making stuff."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 11:27 am

"I bet the lab techs back at Scotland Yard would love to have that ability."

by **Nash Riley** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 7:40 pm

"I don't know. I could identify if something is blood but not something like its DNA or something like that."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 7:47 pm

"Not all forensic work is about biological things."

by **Nash Riley** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 7:57 pm

"I know most of the stuff you see on TV isn't at all like real life, but I don't know what goes on in real life at all."
