《The Fragile World》V1 Chapter 9-No pain no gain
Advertisement
Davids Pov-
When Karen said I would be experimenting with my abilities I didn't expect to have to stop a bullet with my mind. So naturally when Karen pulls her gun out I do what every normal person would in this situation. That is to find the closest object to hide behind. Which in this case is the couch.
“What the hell! Isn't this a bit much?” I screamed
“Don't worry they are rubber and non lethal.” Karen Replied
“This is crazy! Aren't these supposed to hurt like hell?”-Me
“That's the point gives you all the motivation you need to stop it right?”-Karen
She walks towards me smirking while holding the gun. I turn to dash towards the door but before I do. BANG!
“God dammit you shot me.” I yell
Having no idea how to stop something that moves faster then I can see. I fall back on the only thing I do know. I close my eyes grabbing for the link hoping to stop her before the second shot goes off. BANG! Hearing the gun go off but feeling no pain I slowly open my eyes.
I see Karen laying on the ground holding her knee. Looking at her in confusion. Then my own knee which has a nice red welt on it I manage to put the pieces together.
“Buahahahaha! This is perfect. I can make you feel everything I feel. Not much fun when you're on that other end is it eh?” -Me
“If I wasn't so surprised by the suddenness of it I wouldn't be a whiny as you are. But maybe we should try something else. Think you can move things with your mind?” Karen says glaring at me while dusting herself off.
“Not when they are already moving faster then the speed of sound. But I can try a stationary object.”-Me

Reaching into her pocket she pulls out a set of keys handing them to me.
“Start with this. If you can get them off the ground try and do something a bit more complex with them.”-Karen
“What the heck do you mean by that. It's a set of keys. What do you want me to jangle them?” -Me
“No smart ass try unlocking and locking the door. Just because you can pick something off the ground don't mean you can do coordinate fine movements with them.” -Karen
Resisting the urge to smack myself I turn to my task. Staring at the keys I trying and picture them floating up. Having no luck after a good ten minutes I change my approach. I try to picture myself as the keys and float up. After another ten minutes of no luck I turn to Karen.
“I don't think I can do it. No matter how much time I spend imagining them floating of the ground I doubt that will change.”-Me
“Why not try a more practical approach? Instead of commanding the keys to move maybe you just need to think of your mind as another pair of hands.”-Karen
Why didn't I think of that. Ah darn. Turning back to my task I try a imagine myself moving an invisible hand. I imagine the sensations as my mental hand comes into contact with the keys. When I mentally live it up I feel a tug at the back of my mind. Spinning them around a bit I try sort through the keys. However I find it difficult to do with only mental hand and can't seem to manage two at the same time. I just lack the ability to process both hands at once. It's possible but as usual if you multi task sometimes both tasks will suffer.

“Seems like I won't manage to do anything requiring both hands physically.”-Me
“It might be a good idea to see if you got a mental weight limit. Try to test the waters a bit. I would be careful. I doubt you can sprain your mind but you can never be to sure.”-Karen
“The irony being that even though I am a mind doctor I wouldn't know how to treat it”-Me
While mentally lifting different things I find that the limit is actually well above what I can normally lift. I ain't about to go flipping cars but I could probably rip the door off the hinges with moderate effort. Interesting enough it seems my mental hand can take any shape I want and doesn't need to stay connected to me.
“You know if everybody in the world had one of these, obesity would be considered anorexic and we would all need pacemakers or heart attacks would be the apocalypse.”-Me
“I would prefer zombies any day. At least then I would be able to take my anger out on something before it all ends. But I guess we should figure out what is ahead of us first. Nona left alone could devastate entire countries.”-Karen
“Honestly I don't think Nona is the terrorist type. Right now if Nona really wanted to she could easily wipe out the human race if she plays her cards right and that's just with the abilities we know she is capable of. All she would have to do is make those in power her mind slaves and control everything behind the scenes.”-Me
“That actually makes things worse. She hasn't killed you so maybe she needs you. The way I see it is that if she isn't after her own cause then she is trying to stop somebody or something else. That means we got may just have an enemy with power that she can't take alone. We still can't even measure the gap between the two of you.”-Karen
“The only two beings I can thing of that may trump her right now is the multiverse and God. The multiverse lacks any tangible existence so I doubt we could fight it even if we tried. The being that calls himself god could probably have killed us anytime he wanted to but he didn't. Nobody else has had the time to develop there abilities.”-Me
“Nona seems to have had more time to develop. If Nona got her abilities the same way you did maybe there are two of her out their. But the only thing that bugs me is that if this is true then the incident we experienced was not the first.”-Karen
“We will just have to be ready for it if disaster comes.”-Me
“When disaster comes.”-Karen
