Day 10ish

[shiro2hero]

(It's high time I did this.)

[Oh no, someone is gearing up for one of Those Speeches. Because one of their new arrivals ticked off a box in his head, and Sam's asking for training helped.]

[And he's tired of walking on eggshells.]

(I don't know how many of you were there when I found out what my Symbiote does. I sort of wish I hadn't. But. I can't change that.)

[Yeah apparently it made him the Space Hulk. And it took at least two people to keep him from ripping someone's face off.]

(What I can do is control it. I just need to know where to start.)

(So I'm taking a lead from Sam Wilson. Asking if anyone is willing to help. I... don't think I can promise no one will get hurt, but if we're careful, maybe it'll just be me.)

[And he can live with that.]

Comments

[It’s a good answer. Control is easy enough to achieve; matters of the mind, especially where memories are concerned, fickle things that they are, are infinitely more difficult.]

(Can you blame them? One man’s troubles belongs to the whole of the Nest, in this place. The more balanced we all are, the better.)

[A beat.]

(Do you mind all the help?)

[shiro2hero]

(When you put it like that, no. I really can't. It makes a lot of sense.)

[... does he mind? Not really, he doesn't think. It's more he doesn't know what to do with it all. How to balance and accept it all.]

[He's used to being the one people go to for help. Not the other way around.]

(I don't mind. It just takes getting used to.)

[batmotif]

(Then mine is still on the table.

If you want to train sometime, to strengthen control over your body and mind, let me know. If you even want to test the limits of your... abilities, in the right conditions, I'll be willing to aid you then as well.)

[shiro2hero]

(Lexa... she's talking about there being barriers available on the station. I'm thinking, if we get this thing triggered, then... using that might be the best option.)

(But physical training is safe enough, I think.)

[batmotif]

(Barriers? To be used as an enclosing structure if something... triggers in you? Or something else?)

[shiro2hero]

(To keep me from wrecking the station, if need be.)

[In case his arm activates. And the station gets a new doorway into space.]
