Kira relished the frigid water flowing over her hot and tingling skin. Her eyes closed for a brief moment, the blissful sensation of coolness engulfing her skin blocked out the residual effects of containing such a massive amount of energy within her without unleashing it. The soothing cool was enough to allay any distractions, and Kira didn’t bother preventing the splashing water from lightly splattering the bathroom floor and her t-shirt, nor did she notice Sabina watching her. Tension held in her muscles seemed to flow away like the water cascading down her arms and hands, and soon Kira's shoulders loosened out, followed by her whole body as she briefly enjoyed bliss.<br/>Despite being very uncomfortable, the effects she currently felt were mild in comparison to previous woes. Kira still vividly recalled laying in a hospital bed - skin burning as though it was aflame - in between doses of painkillers. Although She had sporadically tested her powers in the time between her encounter with Garrison and now, she had not drawn on nearly as much energy on those occasions as she had done this time. While this most recent incident had almost seen her unable to physically contain the surge of explosive energy, Kira had avoided most of the recoil involved in unleashing her powers as she did not actually discharge a blast. In her confrontation with Garrison, Kira had channeled her explosive power again and again, culminating in a constant blast that lasted several seconds. That had been enough to hospitalise her and led to weeks of painful recovery.<br/>Kira eventually reached for the tap with a dripping hand and turned it off. She patted her hands and arms dry with a nearby towel, before reaching for one of her perfumes on the sink and spraying herself  a couple of times with a soft, floral scent.<br/><span style="color: #FF80FF"> “Oh, really?”</span>Kira said cheerfully as she returned to her cute room, absentmindedly running a hand over the pale skin of one of her arms, enjoying the cold feeling that lingered on it that all but dispelled the heat that had been there only minutes ago.<span style="color: #FF80FF">“It was one of my favourites too, and I re-watched it a couple of months ago for, like, the - well - the fourth time…'' </span>She added quickly, somewhat embarrassed to admit that she still adored a show primarily meant for kids.
