Anyways, yeah it would be great to have a roommate but if we were roommates we'd have to learn about each others abilities.  At least you'd need to learn mine.  It's usually not a problem, but it did cause the light to blow.  Of course my name probably makes it obvious that my abilities have something to do with electricity.  says Surge before continuing.<br/><br/>I absorb electricity from my surroundings over time. not large bursts of it, but a little bit at a time, and absorbing it is not something that I can control.  I can then discharge it in bursts of electricity, or bursts of speed.  I have to wear these gauntlets most of the time though.  she says as she raises her hands up to show the gauntlets on her arms to Transonic.  These are a Dr. Hank McCoy creation that help regulate the amount of electricity I absorb.  I need them because if I absorb too much it causes my mind to race making it hard to focus and then I start randomly discharging dangerous amounts of electricity.<br/><br/>It had lead to a lot of problems in her past but she wouldn't mention any of that right now.  She hopes she didn't make Laurie nervous with what she had just told her, but it was only fair to warn her.  Oh, and when I enter rooms lights can flicker even when I have the gauntlets on, but without them I can accidently cause power surges... which is what happened to my light here.
