“Relax.” The Doctor’s voice sounded far away.
She was panicking, and the idea that she was panicking made it worse, because it could mean she’d change. She might look different.
The panic increases the chances of that, and that only fuels the panic, which makes the chances even scarier…
Scales, spines, metallic skin or something else.
Don’t think about spiny, scaly, metallic elephants!
The darkness swallowed her field of vision and she felt as though it were creeping over her skin.
What had she been thinking, doing this?
It’s certainly a big decision.
I wonder if Cauldron would be willing to use the cape who revokes powers on customers who got powers they didn’t like. Probably not with a refund, though.
Have to calm down.
She’d taken up Tai Chi when she was thirteen, something one of her therapists had encouraged to deal with stress.
Is that what she was doing while waiting for Cauldron?
She couldn’t move here, and it was impossible to stand, let alone do her exercises, but she could try to reach that mental state.
Sounds like it.
She attempted to take deep breaths, but she couldn’t even tell if she had air in her lungs or if she was breathing in or out. She tensed the muscles in her fingers and toes, then forced herself to relax them. She did the same with the muscles of her hands and feet. She worked her way up through the entirety of her body, focusing on that simple action of tension, relaxation.
Honestly, being able to do this under these conditions is admirable.
