E=MC2 (Iris)

[Iris Applegate]

Iris raised an eyebrow at Paul's comment of her 'joking'. The poor boy has not yet seen her full potential - for Iris is quite literally a walking encyclopedia of dad jokes, pun jokes and the ones that go 'knock knock'.

Her glow started to die down again, slowly loosing its light until it reached a constant level of 'slight-but-noticeable' luminescence. Iris grinned at Paul's observation. A nightlight. Too bad that that reference was only too true.

"Yeah, bad thing is that I can't turn myself off fully. It's not very good for sleep, which is why I was late." Iris cast a glance at the teacher, who had turned their attention to the laptop, as she continued to scrawl half-asses answers.

[Paul Wilkerson]

That must really suck to have a power that couldn’t be turned “off”. Paul’s power was always “on”. But this can’t be controlled. His power was involuntary bodily functions. As long as Paul was living his power would be “on”. He didn’t need any training sessions for it.

Paul could see the benefit of being a little kid with Iris’ glowing power. The dark was a scary place to little kids. Other than that glowing seemed kind of annoying after a while. “Well, that’s annoying.”

If Paul didn’t get a move on he would turn in an almost blank worksheet. He wouldn’t get a good grade.
