So you're not — ( a pause as skye considers the right way to phrase it. ) — the only one with powers, then. I don't know what you'd call it.
( and why would she? if things were hypothetical, skye would have no reason to know a term like that outside of science fiction. superheroes, mutants, alien invaders — the phrasing was superficial at best, and wholly inaccurate and potentially misleading at its worst.
but this? this conversation isn't going where she thought it might. she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable. the longer he talks, the less confident she feels in pulling off this innocently curious uninvolved third party act; the less confident she feels, the more the anxiety and nerves begin to bubble up in her chest, damning emotions like lava itching to explode from the volcano. too much nervous energy leads to the slightest of trembling in her fingers, though she does her best to hide it by curling them around her arms. if wally's sensitive to it, he might pick up on the vibrations that seem to echo from her skin. )
So like driver's ed for caped crusaders. But I'm pretty sure this place wouldn't want someone to accidentally take out a building or something for superhero class.
( even the thought makes skye's heartbeat pick up a bit. it's a sweet concept, testing and learning and controlling, but not one she's quite keen on trying any time soon. there's too many risks. )
