Test scene: Ultra Boy

Monstress stepped into the kitchen, wrapped in a purple silk robe with a floral pattern. Her usually-immaculate hair was slightly mussed; she hadn't yet gone through her usual morning beauty routine.

She yawned, stretched slightly, and moved towards the cooler. They had an autochef, of course, but she was more interested in preparing her own breakfast this morning.

"Thanks!" Closing his eyes and taking a few calming breaths, Jo focused on simply trying to levitate about a foot in the air, rather than try to impersonate a ceiling fan.

She stood back and watched.

"I think it's working, dear," she grinned.

Re: A few minutes later:

[superpowered_teen_solo]

Jo opened his eyes upon hearing that and looked down.

'Sprock! I am flying! Wooho-whoa!' He started losing control but calmed himself before he hurt himself again. After regaining control he started moving about slowly, eventually going to more reasonable speeds.

After a few minutes of goofing off, he landed in front of Candi, stumbling slightly. "That. is. AWESOME! Though I think it might be best to test that more thoroughly in open spaces."

Re: A few minutes later:

"Well," she grinned, "maybe after you also get a backup power source for it, too." She flashed her Legion ring. "Once you get one of these, you can use it to fly, too."

Re: A few minutes later:

Jo smiled at that. "That will free me up to use one of these other powers in flight! Depending on how it works, that might even allow for some interesting tricks to pull off!"

Jo's mind was racing with the possibilities that flight would afford him that wasn't self powered. He did intend to find out if his own flight powers, to see if there was any difference between them and the ring.

"Can you think of any other powers I might have that we can test?" Jo couldn't think of any other powers he might have gained and figured asking Candi couldn't hurt.

She indicated the target dummies back at the other end. "Cold breath," she explained. "Freeze people in their tracks."

Re: A few minutes later:

[superpowered_teen_solo]

'Cold breath? How does that work?' Jo was a bit confused. After a bit of thought, he decided to just give it a try.

Turning towards the target dummies, Jo attempted to flip the switch for "Cold Breath" and breathed deep. He then exhaled forcefully at the dummies.

"ACHOO!" Or tried at any rate. Though there were some icicles that flew out of him when he did that, so he might not be too far off.

Re: A few minutes later:

[pretty_in_orange]

"Hey, you managed icicles! Nice work!" she grinned. "Go on... give it another try!"

Re: A few minutes later:

[superpowered_teen_solo]

'Ow.' Jo didn't like that sensation at all. 'Perhaps forgoing the deep breath?'

Jo breathed normally this time and exhaled forcefully.

A cone of freezing air came out of his mouth, freezing everything in its path.

Unfortunately, Jo's lips were in that path as well and as a result were turned blue. He didn't register this in his excitement at the apparent success.

Re: A few minutes later:

[pretty_in_orange]

"Nice work!" she applauded. "Built-in air conditioning!" She gave him a supportive pat on the back. "Might want to peel your lips back next time, to keep your lips from getting frostbite, though."

Re: A few minutes later:

[superpowered_teen_solo]

"Huh?" Knocked from his adrenaline fueled excitement, Jo finally registered the pain from his lips. He touched his lips and winced. That hurt!

Hearing Monstress's suggestion, Jo replied "Ah'll keepf thed in mimd fer lahder."

Not knowing how to deal with frostbite, he looked in askance at Candi. "Chould joo halp me, pleasth?" He asked gesturing towards his lips.

Re: A few minutes later:

"Let's get you to see Doctor Gym'll. He'll have that treated in no time." She clasped a hand on his shoulder. "I hope it's not too painful."

Re: A few minutes later:

[superpowered_teen_solo]

"Paynefuhl? Noh, nuth rahlly. Joth weart." Jo was debating the pros and cons of testing if accelerated healing was something he had. There were a lot of pros but the cons could be disastrous. But for the moment, to the doctor!

Giving an exaggerated bow to Candi "Leth tah weyh, Muh Lathy."
