Emily was still showing her sense of humor despite the rough day. Hearing her laugh helped Jared focus a little more. Jared hadn't planned on trying to combine their powers this soon, but the opportunity had presented itself. With Rachel asleep, Mara out with friends, and them needed a distraction. It sounded like the perfect time to bring it up.
"Rachel wanted to see Elyse today, so we headed over there, and while I was there, I may have promised the kids there to help figure out how to fix Nox's problem with the power," that reminded Jared that he should have some nanobots here to inject. "Be right back."
Jared went upstairs and found the appropriate package and brought it downstairs. "Part of that is the Wicked Truth is going to scan my brain - see if we can see any difference." Emily gave him a look of incredulity. "There's little risk and they will be removed after the scan."
Emily took the injector and helped Jared insert the bots into his system. "As I was saying...one of the residents there - Liv - is a healer, but doesn't think she's strong enough to do it. Made me think, what if I, or someone else, could add my power to hers somehow. If we could somehow link our powers together."
Emily's brow furrowed in thought. "Has that ever been done - is it even possible."
Jared shrugged. [color=light green]"I have no idea...but myths and legends talk about magic users combing their powers."[/color]
Emily nodded, catching his drift. "And since myths have their basis in some truth, there's a possibly this is possible."
"Thought it would be easier to learn with two people who trusted each other completely. One less hurdle to cross. Also thought - didn't you learn how to control your power from a witches group in school."
Emily chuckled. "A Wiccan group - not necessarily witches - but you're not completely wrong. Not all of us could use the power. You wondering if I have any tips?" Jared nodded. "Not really - but I would think one person would have to control it and the other would have to willingly do it." Emily looked down in thought. "I have an idea. Let's start by meditating. Clear our minds. It's been a rough day for all of us, so this should help get in the right mindset." Emily stood and turned down the light.
Jared got into a kneeling position and Emily knelt in front of him. He reached out his hands and she took them. [color=light green]"Together?"[/color] Emily nodded.
