Lucas: *cracks neck*


I got this.
 
I'm just saying, not only do the supers at the mall have REALLY bad PR right now, but the helmet Ren is getting visions from used to be Red's. And you saw what I put on the blog.
 
I swear the neck crack was just a colloquialism! I saw eve do it and it looked bad-ass!


OmygodI'mgonnadie.
 
He's going to expel any rumors that may circulate of this niceness with the interrogation of the Knight. Jovially.

It was 3 AM and inspiration hit me hard! It is now 9 AM xD


One result is I didn't go to sleep at all


The other is I typed all night and I finally finished Kendrick's testing day prompt, Huurray!


So yeah, He's five years, still adorable and this probably happens a month later than his 5 years birthday OWO


I kinda used @KingHink 's headcannon from Skype (I said I would do it OWO ), I quote:


-> "I kinda of imagined like a pediatrician's office outdoors with a bunch of testing equipment. Since most supers get powers when they are young."


-> "I imagine like the setting of a pediatrician because most of the supers are probably young and not hardcore or adults."


-> "Kids who get tested should get a lolly and a colorful sticker that has their rank on it."


It's bigger than Cecilia's due to the all the dialogue so, be ready to read A.LOT.


Also I didn't have anyone review it this time so, even tho I looked lots of times, there might still be typos u.u

The landscape view from the car's window was a clear indicative that the destination was in a complete new place.


A five year old Kendrick had been staring through the glass, face almost glued to it, as the well known scenery of his house changed to an unknown neighbourhood.


Sitting in the back row and holding a teddy bear with an arm, the boy worried about this sudden visit to the doctor. Thus far he had been solely home schooled, and since Petra wasn't allowed to take him anywhere without consent, there was no way it meant anything else.


In the front row, the maid and the driver, Mr. Bletcher, were conversing about the trip, unaware that they had left the glass separating the seat rows open and that little Kendri could listen to them.


From that exchange, the five year old had understood he wasn't visiting a normal kind of doctor, but as Petra had just described, it was a 'Power Doctor' and that he would be evaluated by him.


Even more unnerved, Kendrick held Ted in a tight embrace and laid his head in the seat's backrest.




"Master Kendrick, we have arrived."


Petra's voice woke him up. He had dozen off for a while, no one could blame him for doing so, any child who had his morning schedule would certainly happen to fall sleep during a long car trip as well.


Still holding Ted, the slight sleepy boy got out of the car. The maid closed the door behind him and as she relayed Igor instructions of when to pick them up, Kendrick looked up to the house standing in front of him. It was huge! Not as big as his own house but still relatively big to a five year old child.


It was a simple double floored white house with stairs already by the entrance. The gate was open, probably because whoever was inside had been waiting for them.


Once Petra finished giving instructions, and the car had left, she held the little boy the the hand and both of them entered the house.


Inside, was the set-up of a waiting room, clearly for children due to the stack of comics and coloring magazines and all the colorful pencils lying by a table.


However, there wasn't anyone else inside the room but the two.


Kendrick sighed, his parents had done it again, demanding an exclusive time for his appointments and probably paying more for that. All those doctor appointments in his life and he still had never talked to another child...


They didn't have to wait long. Since the place was so quiet, any noise they made could be heard clearly from the other rooms. Soon, a man wearing a bluish lab coat appeared and approached the duo:


"Welcome, I'm Dr. Trenary.", he shook hands with Petra, before addressing to the boy, "And you must be Kendrick, right?"


The five year old, who had hidden behind the maid when the new person approached, poked his head from behind and nodded timidly to answer.


The man giggled softly at the boy's shyness and hurried them up to enter his office so that he could start the exam. Both individuals followed suit, but at the door, Mr. Trenary asked Petra to stay in the waiting room and let Kendri enter alone.


The maid was uncertain if she should leave and asked the boy if he was fine with this. Though not entirely sure if the weird doctor was worth of his trust, he nodded back at her.


She went to sit in one of the waiting room chairs and the other two proceed to inside the office.


The first thing that caught the boy's attention was the gigantic amount of toys inside the room.


It was almost as if the place was suddenly not an doctor's room but a toy store! It had everything, games, dinosaurs, plushes, even a little train! Kendrick stood watching in awe and didn't even took notice of the doctor entering behind him:


"You really like toys, don't you?", the man's voice caused the kid to turn around in surprise. He had seem the teddy bear Kendri had brought along with him.


"Yes sir, I do.", he replied. Though it had been a polite reply, the expression the boy had right now showed how excited he truly was.


Dr. Trenary laughed softly:


"Hey, No need for all that stiffness around here. We're going to be together for a while, so why not get to know each other? I'm Gregory, you may call me Greg like you probably do with all your friends."


The five year old just blinked at the man for a while, he didn't actually had any friends, so he wouldn't know how people treated each other. Still, the friendliness of the man got to him:


"Nice to meet you Greg. I'm Kendrick. Mom calls me Kendy sometimes...", he extended his right arm to hand shake with the man.


It was unusual for a doctor to be this friendly in an appointment, usually they just put him in the table thingy and started whatever check-up they had to do... Speaking of the table:


"Uhh, Greg? Why doesn't your room have a table like the other doctors? And why is it so big?"


"Oh? That's because I'm not like the other doctors! And were not going to make typical check-ups today."


That's right. He had forgotten it, Greg was the 'Power Doctor, which also meant he had been allowed to bring Ted along for a reason... Before he could reply, Dr. Trenary completed:


"Okay Kendy, I guess this is enough talking. We both know what we're here today for right?"


"Evaluation.", Kendrick repeated the word he had heard from Petra earlier.


"That's right. So, why exactly are we here, little one?"


"I can make Ted move around!", he replied happily, holding the teddy in his hands and showing it to the doctor


"Oh! That's cool! Can you make him wave at me?"


"Yes!"


Little Kendrick put Ted slowly on the floor, and pictured the toy standing up on his own and waving at Greg's direction. Almost immediately, the teddy bear did exactly as had been expected of it and the boy beamed proud.


After that little demonstration, the true exams began.


First, Greg would relay instructions for Kendrick to command Ted to do, it started with walking and running through the room, then jumping from a spot to another. A few moments later, it has moved on to shelves climbing and people climbing. Ted had successfully performed every instructions that had been given to him. Finally to finish the instructions test, Greg showed the boy some weird yoga poses from him to picture Ted doing.


Since Ted was a plush, it was very flexible and managed to do most poses with ease. The poses he didn't manage to oblige to, we're poses with very bad photos that not even the boy understood how it worked just from the picture.


It showed that unless Kendrick himself understood the order fully, he could not pass it on for the toy to accomplish.


The next test was a distance one.


Dr. Trenary would exit his office with Ted and gradually move farther and farther from the room. Kendrick would stay behind and continuously order the plush to raise his arms. When the arms finally gave in to gravity again, it would mean that was the boy ability's range limit.


At the end of this experiment, it was noticed an impressive range of 263 feet 9 inches. Truly, Ted's arm only went down when Greg had crossed the street and gone closer to the house in there.


After this, Dr. Trenary used his experience in dealing with abilities similar to Kendri to test something experts called 'shared vision'.


He grabbed Ted and hid him inside the storage room, then asked Kendrick to focus on Ted's location and continuously asked him to try to guess what existed inside that place.


At first, Kendrick had just stared at the man confused. He could see what Ted was seeing? What kind of crazy thing was that? but after being reassured by the doctor he did his best.


Since he had been pointed to the overall direction, the boy turned in that direction and closed his eyes, concentrating in what could be beyond those walls, he wanted to know what was beyond the room he was in. It hadn't taken as long as Greg has predicted it would:


"There's an old television...", Kendrick started describing the place he could see


"Yes and close to it?", Dr. Trenary encouraged him to keep going on


"I think those are...cans filled with paint?"


"Yes and?"


"Lots of boxes. Some seem to have lots of papers inside them!"


"YES! That's it! You did it Kendy!", the doctor cheered, "By the way, You can stop it now."


The boy opened his eyes back and turned around towards the man, filled with excitement:


"Wow Greg! That was so cool! How did you know I could do that?"


"Lucky guess", the man laughed, then went out of the room to prepare the next exam.




When Dr. Trenary got back he had brought, along with Ted, several boxes.


The next test would be a strength one. Each box had a weight and was made of different materials, he wanted to have Ted both try to punch through and lift each of the boxes.


It had started just fine, Ted could lift the most lighter boxes, but when it reached the ceramic ones it started getting heavier to lift and the metal ones wouldn't budge. In the subject of punching the boxes, glass and thin wood received quite a blow and cracked, thicker wood just squeaked and the next ones didn't even made a sound when the plush hit them.


Wanting to test how much Kendrick's own will force could influence the toy, Greg asked Kendri to force Ted to pick up the ceramic box. The boy looked uneasy but for the sake of the experiment obeyed.


Ted went own to try to lift the box, it didn't seem to want to get out of the floor, but Kendrick kept on inputting the command to lift it. When it had started to move, Kendrick suddenly stopped the test and approached Ted in a hurry begging Greg to stop forcing the order because it was 'harming him'.


The man was confused for a moment but when he went to check on the plush, he noticed that one of the limbs' sewing had indeed been broken due to the tension put on the toy. Had the kid been able to feel this??


Staring at Kendrick for a while made him realize that the boy itself also seemed to have gotten worn out from all the experiments, he was panting a little.


This seemed like a good moment for a break.




A jar of Orange Juice and lots of consolation later, Kendrick and Greg where ready to start again.


However, with Ted 'injured', they would need something else to use.


Dr. Trenary had suggested that they use one of the many toys that could be found in the room, but the five year old quickly dismissed the idea. When asked why, he had gotten a very interesting reply:


"There aren't any strings to pull at."


Surprised and confused, the man stared at the boy and just blinked for a while, attempting to process the information that he had just received:


"Does your teddy has a string?"


A nod.


Fascinating. He would have to deal with this differently...


"The lady that came with you, who is she?"


"Petra? She's like my babysitter...", Kendrick replied, confused as to why the topic had gone from Ted to Petra out of a sudden.


"That works. Let's go talk to her"




It got decided that for the sake of the exams, Kendri was to have a session for the next two weeks where he would get to know and play some of the toys in the room. Obviously, it was a theory that could or not could not bear fruit in the end of the period.


With Ms. Haywood's approval, Petra agreed to the extended testing period.


Kendrick had enjoyed the idea, not only he got to play with the toys but, since it was something being added to his already full schedule, some classes had to be either removed for the time period or had their times changed.


Thus, the boy went to Dr. Trenary's office in the same time as before. There he played, named and cared for 9 of the toys from the local collection, among them a panda plush, a dinosaur miniature and a tiny metal train.


When the 2 week period was done, Kendrick was able to, with some mild struggle, manipulate all the toys he had played with and proved completely capable of pointing out which ones he had played it even when surrounded by ones that looked exactly like the toy in question.


Since it had been proven the exam could continue, the last test was the quantity one.


Greg lined up the nine toys the boy had played with and asked him to send a orden, gradually raising the number of toys to receive such command.


Until 5 toys consecutively obeying, either the same command or different ones, had been going fine. When he tried to add a sixth integrand to the party, however, he was welcomed with a faint headache and asked to stop the test.


The last part would be to check what was the 'shared vision' limit of toys.


After putting each toy in a different spot on the room, Dr. Trenary asked Kendrick to focus on their location and describe him what he could see.


It was easy to switch between each toy's view, however, when ordered to focus into he views of many toys at once, nothing happened, it was as if the shared order couldn't reach any of them.


With all the testing finished, the man compiled all the information he had acquired into a single computer file and concluded the exam:


"With this, it will be our last appointment. You're a C-Rank, there you go.", he handed the boy a shiny yellow sticker with a C on it, "Now we have to get you a limiter... Tell me something you would wear."


"Uhhh, A cool-looking ring!", the boy replied, while ripping the sticker out of the paper and proudly pasting it at his little jacket.


The doctor searched in one of his drawers, grabbing one of the bags and bringing it closer to Kendrick:


"It doesn't look all that cool, but it's still a ring.", he opened the bag and put it on Kendrick's middle finger of his right hand, glad it had fit perfectly, "Okay so, slide it left to turn it on and right to turn it off. Don't turn if off without an important reason though, the agents will stop by your house if you do so.", he glanced at the little boy who didn't seem to believe his words at all, "I mean it! The agents will definitely come to check why you turned it off!", the man reinforced while turning the limiter on for the very first time. The tiny LED lit up and the apparatus started humming softly.


Kendrick, however, didn't look very amused.


"I promise I'll send Ms. Combs the address of a place where you can make it cooler when you're older, ok?", he bargained with the little boy.


"Okay..."


"That's it then, we're done. You can go outside the room now."


The five year old turned towards the door.


However, he did not move closer to it and instead turned back at the doctor:


"What is the problem, little one?"


"May I make a req- recu- Uhh, C-Can I ask a question?", Kendri had tried saying the word request, but had failed miserably at it.


"Sure! What's it?"


"Since this is the last visit. Can I take my new friends home with me?"


It took Dr. Trenary a couple of minuted to comprehend the boy's request.


Then it hit him. He had allowed the kid to name and play with the toys, he had let them bond. And now he was separating them, possibly forever.


There was no way anyone with a heart, could resist the hopeful expression the boy had in his face right now...


"Of course. I'm sure they would be happier going with you than staying inside my office anyway.", it was also true that he could buy new ones later...


Kendrick opened a wide smile and gleamed with happiness, he had never seen the boy so happy through the appointments:


"Thank you, sir!!", he bowed down for a while and quickly got back up to collect the nine toys he was going to take home with him.


After managing to hold them all, the boy walked outside the room, towards where Petra had been waiting.


The maid watched as the five year old came to her direction, slowly, since he didn't want to drop the huge pile of toys he was carrying.


Even though it was such a lovely and heart-warming scene, there was a single thought bothering the maid at that moment:


"Oh-Oh. Mr. and Ms. Haywood are definitely not going to like the news..."


I pictured Dr. Gregory Trenary being an commonwealth scientist, with the ability to animate objects, he at somepoint becomes an expert in similar powers to his own.


He worries about the common testing facilities and how it was dangerous to let smaller children test along with teenagers and adults so, after lots of internal struggle and paperwork, he get's the permission to try out the more paediatrician testing method for little children, and it is highly accepted.


Then commonwealth starts doing more places like these.

I'm going to assume that Ioana missed and hit the wall, because I know a seasoned roleplayer such as yourself would not make an amateur mistake as auto-hitting and puppeting another character's reactions or reflexes.

Don't worry, a rewrite won't take long. All you have to do is stop short of actually connecting the attack, and leave room for Viola to respond too.
 
and why would it be a problem if Ioana incapacitated Avecca?
 
It is probably best that Gus got rejected as my initial app. Not because of the precognition, because I would have been very ginger about using that in anyway except in silly non plot related stuff. No, the tricky bit about a speedster is imaging them ever missing their target except in battle against another speedster. That would have gotten me into so much more trouble than I already have with Lucas and Aaron.
 
The proper way to go about attempting an attack or incapacitation would be to say something like ' I lightening quick go to grab her and throttle the woman by her spindly pale neck'


That leaves it open for the opposing player to either accept or not. That's how you avoid a puppet and still do bad ass things
