GW -- Newtype bunny...

[askerian]

Scene starts with Duo sitting at a table, working on calculations. He's concentrating hard on them, and he reaches for a bottle of water without really looking at it, and it's just a little too far -- then it topples and rolls to his hand. He picks it up, takes off the cap, and takes a sip, still staring at his calculations.

Heero was doing his own thing close by, and does a double-take because he kind of felt the tug. Duo notices Heero is staring and looks up, and they both stare at each other for a second and then at the wet circle on the table where the bottle was.

Duo: ... Oh. ... Cool.

Duo tries to do it again, but he can't -- he forgot the knack. Heero goes and stands behind him and says "Just take the bottle, Duo."

Duo: *vaguely frustrated* "... duh, I can't remember how."

Heero: *calm, no-nonsense tone* You want that bottle, just take it, it doesn't matter how.
Duo: *rolls eyes a bit, reaches for the bottle with his hand*
Heero: *catches his wrist when his fingers were almost touching the bottle*
Bottle: *wobbles*
Duo: *half-incredulous chuckle, sneak-attack with his other hand!!*
Heero: *snatches other hand!! >O* * you will not have that bottle!*
Duo: *strains against Heero's grip, tho he doesn't go anywhere* *I will so have that bottle!*
bottle: *roll roll hay Duo's lap*

Then SOMEONE ELSE *coughspoilercough* is all "Oohh. I... felt something. D: LET ME TRY." And she tries and tries, and the bottle doesn't move an inch -- but the drawer behind her flies out of its hinges. XD
Heero: ... I think you pulled a little too hard.

... Just one problem -- Duo wasn't supposed to be telekinetic in this fic. X'D Damn it.

Maybe I can wing it somehow, but I don't know, I don't think I can say "all the Gboys were super-powerful psychics with a bazilion mind powers in the show, they just never visibly used it." Maybe I can say that the bigger powers actually come out later when you're done maturing or something. Or maybe people who exhibit pyrokinesis or telekinesis or teleportation in the middle of adolescence tend to have fatal accidents due to their moods being so unstable and making their powers out of control. hrrm. I dunno. The power I did give Duo wasn't in the same category at all, so I can't really say they're just two facets of the same thing.



I rewrote the beginning of the second scene of chapter 1, and I like it a LOT better now. It's more easy to visualize and understand why they suspect Duo at all, and it gives a few glimpses into Wufei's undercover as a guerillero stint. Read here.

Also ENTIRELY rewrote the fourth scene, when Wufei meets the ministry officials -- now it's Heero POV and Wufei was asleep in the infirmary all along. I thought I'd posted it but I can't find it in my tags. D: Here it is.

Working on actually continuing the fic instead of tweaking the previous parts now. ya rly. -___-;;;;;
