More Meteor Showers Bring Even Stranger Powers. (O/A)

Gidget is silent for a moment. She is carefully studying Liv, perplexed by her reasoning for allowing Erica to go home. Certainly Gidget would allow the girl to leave. Anyone in Valhalla is free to go as they please. There was something about the way she stated her normalcy.

"She is free to come and go as she pleases. If she wants to go into foster care, that is her prerogative."

Gidget turns and takes a few steps away from Liv, approaching her work bench. She activates her type three detection. This girl, Liv, could most certainly just be a concerned resident of Valhalla. But if she has the ability to sap powers like the girl from the day before, well then Gidget feels that minor caution isn't enough. She opts to take a gamble, and turns back toward Liv.

"Erica felt conflicted about her powers from the day she arrived here. She though is was her fault Daedalus took her parents. I supposed now she wont have to worry about her powers. It doesn't fix the situation with her parents, but it's a start in the the healing process. It was kind of you to relieve her of the "burden," but in the future I'd prefer if you think about the big picture as opposed to the small chunk of one explained to you by a child."

Trinity raised an eyebrow as Gidget made her gamble. It seemed a little suspicious that she knew so much of the girl's condition. By the way she said it, it sounded like she was certain that her power wouldn't return. Gidget wouldn't be making such a gamble unless she was some what certain. If it was confirmed that she may be telling a half truth them she may have to follow up with questions of her own. She folded her arms as she continued to observed what happen next.

"I didn't relieve her of powers. I can't do that. I would if I could. I hope her powers are gone. I don't know who could have done that but I am thankful for it. I hope she can live a normal life now. I promised her I'd get her out of here if she didn't get them back. Kids should not have powers. Not when Daedelus is around...."

Her hands became fists. She had seen what Daedelus does to Meta's. Even if they were just little kids. "Please help her find a good home if she's normal again".  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Gidget's scanner doesn't pick up anything out of the ordinary. Either this girl is a good liar or not lying at all. Time to push a bit more.

"That's the big picture I'm talking about. I don't have any influence on child placement. Finding someone a job and a place to live once they've grown, not a problem. Erica is going to become a ward of the state. A state that supports Daedalus' "assistance." Hopefully, because she is powerless, she'll slip under their radar. But since they have her parents, the odds of that aren't very good."

"Liv, I'll be blunt. I am %7 certain that you are on Daedalus payroll. That is, before you mentioned Erica. Now I am about  certain. But Trinity trusts you, and I trust her. Just know that I have my eyes on you."  

[Nova Blancke]

"Well...mixed feelings now but thanks giving me a chance, I won't argue since that won't get us anywhere." Liv said to Gidget thankful for the chance.

"So about Freya.....what you need me to do?"  

[PixelMuse]

"I was thinking that you could deflect her shadow manipulations while Teshou and I fight her with hand to hand combat. Anything I missed sensai?" she asked looking toward Teshoumaru.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

"Actually yes. Does your friend have any actual combat experience. Freya has been fighting for longer than either of you to have been alive. She is wily, unpredictable, and can adapt quickly to a situation."  

[Nova Blancke]

"Well a bit. Girl gotta protect herself but I'm sure its nothing like Freya. I can regenerate almost instantly, teleport, create lasers...pretty much anything you can do with light I can do.Thirteen years does give plenty of experience." Liv said summing up her Light abilities." Oh I know! I could create like...a prison of light around her. That would certainly overpower a shadow."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

"It would have to be a completely encapsulating light prison. We can use a shadow of any size as a weapon, and the attack can be almost immediate. If your light can be penetrated she has a myriad of throwing weapons at her disposal. Will this be a problem?"  

[Nova Blancke]

"Hmmm no I can do that. But it's not like I can stop her from walking out..unless...okay It'll work. "Liv nodded with a confident smile." In any case we don't know what I can do against shadow attacks unless you or Trinity could help me with that."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Teshoumaru shakes his head. "Controlled light can pierce a controlled shadow. However if all you can do is manipulate light and not produce it, then you will have to take care not to be caught in Freya's Genkido Tengoku. If you are snared by it, you will not survive."  

[Nova Blancke]

Liv pressed her hands together like a little ball. A bright like escaped through the small openings of her fingers. She put her hands against her mouth and blew in it. As she opened her hands a pink heart flew towards Teshoumaru.

"Produce it, manipulate it. You name it and I do can it. Well...light anyway.I'm also pretty confident in my healing ability. Daede-" Liv stopped in mid-sentence as this brought up a bad memory. Daedelus actually did test the extend of her healing."Well lets just say I won't die from most things"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Teshoumaru takes one quick swipe with his hand and splits the heart in two. "If she realizes this she will either decapitate you or drag you into the shadow realm. The air in the shadow realm is toxic, and no light exists. Even with your power, you will find yourself floating in an endless ether."

"So while your confidence is reassuring, don't let it go to your head. Many have died at her hand after thinking they were assured victory."

He looks over at Trinity and says, "The sooner I can teach you the Genkido Tengoku the better. Do you have time?"  

[PixelMuse]

"As much time as you need.". Trinity said as she bowed her head,"Though with all due respect. I thought the plan was to counter it. I'm not sure if I can bring myself to use it against her."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

"It pains me to say this, but countering it and using the technique are one in the same. It makes little sense, I know, but you will understand once you've mastered it."  

[PixelMuse]

"Right I was afraid you'd say something like that.". She remembered her first lesson with Freya, about eliminating those who are beyond redemption. Trinity seriously hoped it would not be the case. Even though there was no blood relation she still saw Freya as an older sister and she didn't want to have to resort killing her older sister. She hopped it wouldn't be the case, that she could be brought back.
