Travis was meeting up with Jude over at Officer Genovese's house. This wasn't anything out of the ordinary, almost to the point that he practically lived there himself. The rest of the team lived there, but it felt strange just moving in. Or asking to move in, though this older cop version of Jude was pretty cool himself.

He'd really had no plans coming over, just texted Jude that he was on his way, ready or not. Probably watch movies, scream about life... the usual. If they were feeling ballsy, mess with Roa. He came to the door, sending Jude a quick text before ringing the bell.

Travis stopped over pretty often, so the text wasn't anything out of hte usual. Before Jude had even reached the door, however? That was unusual. His brain pinged a little ping, and Jude swung the door open with squint on his face, looking Travis over.

He looked normal. He didn't look any different. He looked like he always did, only Jude's brain was making it very clear it was not.

Jude ushered Travis in with a hand, not even waiting for the door to be closed before he said something.

"Notice anything weird about your powers lately?"

Oh boy, seemed like Jude was in a mood. About something, about him? Oh no what the hell happened now? Jude was eyeing him up like he'd grown a third arm or something.

"What's up ma- what?"

Travis gave the question some thought before he answered.

"Not really? I mean, they were working like they always did, last time I used em. Why?"

Jude squinted. Really, he was squinting a lot, looking Travis up and down with his most scrutinizing of looks. He looked normal. It wasn't a physical change. But it was a change.

"When was the last time you got hurt, exactly?"

Jude shut the door behind them, ushering Travis towards the living room.

"Hurt me? I mean I can't even remember. It's not like it's the easiest thing to do..."

He was just giving Jude a look, more confusion as he came into the living room and just made himself at home in his usual spot. He gave it some more thought.

"I sparred with Adrastia a few days ago because she has new shit now. Bitch fuckin flies now... it's bullshit. We talked about training more then, but it's not like we really hurt each other. What're you saying?"

"I think you can heal yourself," Jude said, with no small amount of squinting. "Well, to clarify, I know you can heal yourself. My whole power-sense hasn't been wrong once yet, so I doubt it's going to be wrong here and now. You can definitely heal now, and..."

More squinting. Jude was doing a lot of that.

"You know what, lets go outside, and then we'll see if I'm right about the other thing."

As quickly as he'd come in, Jude reached over, popping open the door and gesturing for Travis to head outside.

He could heal himself? When the hell did that happen? He opened his mouth to ask a question, but Jude was heading to the back yard to test something else. There was more? This was exciting, but holy shit Jude.

"Christ dude, take a breath," he said as he headed outside. "Is it okay to um... do shit like this back here? I don't wanna blow your yard up or something."

"You're not going to blow up the yard," Jude said pointedly. "This is just... me testing my powers to. Getting a feel for them. Because this is the first time I've noticed a change in people's powers. My powers were still kicking in when Rory started flying, but now they're pretty cemented..."

Okay, maybe he was rushing, but he wanted to see if he was right.

"Try... focusing your energy down at your feet. Like, if you believe in all that stuff, your chi. And then jump."

"Alright dude, let's see what the fuck this is about..."

Focus his energy to his feet? That was not at all what he was expecting to hear. He trusted Jude though, so he gave it a shot. He built the energy up like he would when he fired his beam. Not a lot though. Just enough to make it noticeable.

Focusing it was different, surprisingly easier than he would have expected. Once it had built he pushed off, definitely going higher than he should have.

"Fuck!" he landed. "Shit, that was lit! Wait, wait..."

He built up more energy and jumped again, higher this time. He came down kind of hard, but not to hard. "Jude, I'm thinking of applications for this. We're doing tests! Then I'm gonna yeet Rory."

Jude cracked up at I'm going to yeet Rory, taking a moment to recover.

"Okay, okay. So, what I'm picking up... You can heal. Like, you'll heal naturally, but also if you try you can heal. Don't ask me how, my power doesn't work that way." Not even close. "You can, uh, do shockwaves, but don't do that here because I don't want you taking out any trees. Or mes. But really the channeling is the big thing - you did your feet to jump, but you should be able to run with it, and really... uh, channel anywhere in your body and see what it does."

Jude had a few ideas.

"You should be able to launch things."
