His shaking hands slowly curl around his laptop. Oh, how it had been so long since he had ever touched it-at least a solid 24 hours, but for the Video conduit, it was longer than he had really been used to. Ever since the last experience, within his game, he had lost a lot of interest in being anywhere near his own sanctuatry.
And where he is right now, with his own laptop pulled up closer than it should be, isn't really a situation you'd expect to see with someone who could fly. But yet, here he is, hands trying to absorb what video he can, because that's the one reason he's on a public plane to begin with...
...He can't use his powers.
It had been so long since he had last used it, that his system's burnt though more than he's ever felt before. And his mutations began to disable themselves into a sort of 'sleep' mode, in order to conserve energy. And it physically drained him.
...To the point where he might have gone just a little over the edge in mentality and maybe...just maybe went on an accidental killing spree.
And to be fair, it wasn't his fault-it was another loss of control over the powers that he still hasn't fully developed, and after that little crisis so close to Seattle...it's why he tries to leave, to disappear from the headlights of the bright city, and back to a sense of familiarity for him to hide at.
...On his way back to Delaware. And there's nothing; no internet, nothing for him to connect to, nothing to test his lack of powers with. And he has no intentions of draining the power souce from what's left of his computer, alone.
How he wants nothing more than to shove his hands into the flat screen-to feel the motherboards and wires cutting, feeding him power as a last means of sanity. But there's nothing to save him, nothing to absorb without him going through another freak-out, and especially nothing to save the plane from crashing if he just accidentally snaps, loses control, and breaks the plane in half...
...And none of this would even be a concern if he could just get an online connection. Maybe everyone would have been saved...
