there's no telling what's possible until it is tried. the mutants I've met in my world often find themselves at the mercy of their own ability to begin with, rather than the other way around. uncontrolled. not always to their detriment if their power is passive, but not using it to its potential. then there are those like you and I who need to train in management and containment to live normally. in my experience, there is normally a way. of course, if we exist in different worlds with different internal logics, it may not be the same, but I would like to try to help.
as for the rest, I am more interested in what my ability's new limitations imply about our environment rather than attempting to get rid of them. for now, anyway. but it sounds like you have some experience in this area?
[ Cisco doesn't know what to feel; he reads the first portion of the response over and over but cannot reconcile his ambivalent reactions. It's so nice, to talk to someone who knows without needing to be told over and over, that it's necessary to manage his power, for him to be able to live his life. There's a confidence and authority in the way he offers to help that Cisco desperately wants to believe in. But... historically, trusting exactly that kind of person has led to some very bad things. Except, what else did he want? He was the one who had asked for help in the first place?
What a tangle his mind is, these days. ]
even if it doesn't work... i would be super grateful for any help you can give.
[ The next inquiry is much easier to answer. Straightforward - not personal, just science. ]
a little bit of experience. where i come from, a bunch of breaches opened up leading to another universe - a parallel world where things were slightly different. when i crossed over there, i had difficulty using my powers.
the way the multiverse works, basically, is that there are infinite different versions of reality, all occupying the same space, but since they vibrate at different frequencies, they never interact with one another. except all of us have been brought to this place from separate worlds. so it's possible that... coming from your specific world to this place has interfered with you powers, but not anyone else's.
if you were willing to come by the lab sometime i could try to run some tests, see if we can figure out why it's happening.
well, it's a room that looks like the lab where i work back home. it's just a copy but it has all the same equipment. the door says star labs, drop by any time.

I'm willing. you have a laboratory?
