OOC: Rping Kyle discovering his powers.

IC: Kyle’s hand twitched against the steering wheel, his anxiety overcoming his self control. He knew he was supposed to remain calm while he was driving. Otherwise he’d start to make mistakes. Oh, sure, he hadn’t had any that left marks on his car (or anyone else’s for that matter) but he had a few close calls, and they usually occurred when his mind was racing.

Some weird things had happened during school earlier. Nothing overly dramatic. Just little incidents and occurrences here and there. However, those things were more than sufficient to rattle him. He backed into his house’s driveway; he mashed the garage door opener and pulled his car into its spot. He was about to turn the keys and remove them from the ignition when it happened once again. The keys twisted themselves into the “off” position and flew into his hand… and he hadn’t been touching them.

Startled, Kyle dropped the keys as if they were on fire, swear words coming unbidden to his lips. There it was again! Why did it keep happening? In annoyance, Kyle raised his fist, and was about to decide what to do with it next when he heard a faint buzzing sound. It took him a few seconds to identify its source, but he soon realized it was the overhead light. Even though it should have been off until he opened the door, it was on and shining, even more bright than usual. Feeling overwhelmed by it all, Kyle put his hands on his head and attempted took a few minutes to calm himself down.

After finally getting himself under control, Kyle went into the house to reflect on the things that had been happening. Small objects had been flying around, the lights starting going on and off by themselves, and while he’d been typing up an essay in the library, he’d somehow ended up on one of his teacher’s private e-mail accounts with no recollection of how he’d done it. Clearly, something was up, but what?

Kyle thought about what he knew. The boy had a feeling that all of these little incidents were connected, they’d happened to frequently in a small time frame for them to be a coincidence. But what did they all have in common… objects, lights, computers. Then, something occurred to him. While there was no relevant connection for the first one, the second and third both involved electric equipment. Did that mean he had been electrified or something? He simply had no idea.

As Kyle’s science teacher explained to him, when all else fails, experiment. Kyle went into his room and found a flashlight. After removing the batteries, he turned it on. Of course, nothing happened. Nothing, that is, until Kyle started to concentrate. While there was no change in the first few seconds, the light began to glow dimly, slowly growing brighter and brighter until he nearly blinded himself, at which point, he flicked the off switch and ceased his concentration. Well, he definitely had been electrified. What fun.

Next was the computer. He hit the power switch and waited for it to turn on. Shortly afterwords, the account selection screen came on. Three options: his mom’s, his dad’s, and his own. His was a normal account, but his parents’ accounts had administrator status and were password protected. Normally he wouldn’t be able to access them. But now perhaps….

He selected his dad’s account. Naturally, the next thing to come up was the password type-in box. He had no idea what the password was, but if what had happened at school was any indication, that could very well change. Kyle closed his eyes for a second, and did his best imitation of a Buddhist monk. Suddenly, he felt his fingers flying across the keyboard, seemingly independent of his will. He did, however, take note that the password was the name of a dog his dad had owned as a child, followed by a few numbers that he didn’t know the significance of, though he had a feeling they were of importance to his father. Yup, he could hack stuff to, and without even trying to. He wasn’t sure how though.

Last were small objects. Kyle turned off the computer and went into the kitchen, quickly spotting an orange that was lying on the counter about five feet away from him. He reached for it with his hand, willing it to fly into his outstretched limb. To his surprise, nothing happened.

He realized there were probably limitations to his new-found abilities that he wasn’t aware of. The first two powers had fit a pattern, electricity and computers, which was essentially electronic equipment. Was there some connection he was overlooking? Something to do with electricity perhaps? That was when it hit him: magnetism. All the objects he’d been able to summon earlier were made of metal. To confirm his hypothesis, he turned toward another nearby object: a metal spoon this time, and did the same thing he’d tried with the orange. This time though, it worked.

Shaking his head in amazement, Kyle put the spoon down, walked over to a nearby chair and sat on it. He had no idea how he’d obtained his powers, but he had a feeling they could be quite useful. Perhaps he should try to do something with them….
