[OTA]

[Daisy had felt off ever since she woke up, her body just didn’t feel the same. Used to the constant vibration as a side effect of her power, it was hard not to notice that it seemed to be a lot weaker than usual. It made her feel hollow in a way she couldn’t quite describe.

The weakening of the vibrations only grew worse as she went to her shift at Merlotte’s Bar and Grill in De Chima. By the end of her shift, her arms were aching and she noticed bruises starting to pop up. It was something she had gotten back home from overuse of her powers, but here, they never really showed up because of the nanites. Daisy noticed others seemed off, some complained about feeling ill. Others mentioned that their powers weren’t working right. This wasn’t just affecting her, and it filled her a sense of dread.

As the next few days go on, the pain only gets worse in her arms, and now the back of her thigh, where months ago, she had been stabbed was bleeding little by little. Some people seemed worse off than her. With others unable to so much as walk, Daisy helped get them to safety. Whether that be a clinic or their home. She used the car Jesse had gotten her last year for all of that, as it was much faster than using the porter and walking was becoming difficult for her.

She’s been hearing more frequently that others powers have been acting up, and Daisy couldn’t put off finding out if hers was okay or not any longer, she tested it. Normally, she would be able to vibrate something until it shatters. This time, however, when she raises her hand and aims it at a potted plant nothing happens. She went to move her hand back down to her side but it won’t move. It doesn’t take her long to realize that she is actually frozen in place. Help? ]

[Wanda probably shouldn't be out; she's feeling too bad, and her telepathy is so much louder than before, and her telekinesis is making things around a radius of a few feet around her shake. And there's the whole fact that she keeps having seizures, thanks mental powers.

But she's out now, on her way to get more medicine that might make her feel better (no luck so far) when she sees a frozen looking Daisy. She doesn't know Daisy that well, but she does know they're from the same world.]

Um, Daisy? You okay? ["you okay?" should be more like 'what's wrong?']

[Daisy couldn't even move her eyes to even try and communicate with her. She tried to talk but nothing happened. She tried, multiple times, to try and just blink. Was she going to be stuck like this forever? Panic was setting in even though, somehow, she could still breathe. It may not look like it to anyone else though.

Unaware that Wanda could hear her thoughts, she'd probably hear her, you know, freaking the hell out.]

[Aaand she switches to telepathy. She tries to be firm but calming, because panic helps nothing.]

Try to calm down -- which, easier said than done, but if you remember to breathe, you might be able to get out of this -- what happened? Did someone do this to you?

[In the past, Daisy has only met one other person who could communicate in her mind and that was Charles. So while it wasn't a complete shock, it was still unexpected.]

My power isn't working right. I tried to use it and I froze up. Not sure how.

Mine are getting weird too; they're stronger than I'm used to. If you trust it, I can try to induce a relaxed feeling in you, so you can get un..stuck, but if you didn't, that's understandable. What can you usually do with your powers?

What? Like control my mind?

[Daisy didn't know that much about her power, just what she skimmed over in the index.]

I make things quake.

More like encouraging it. Not anything like weird hallucinations and such.

Quake like telekinesis?

Not exactly. I can feel every vibration, and I can manipulate them with my body. It's hard to explain.

It has its downsides, but I would take broken bones over this.

[There's a heavy sound of a body touching down behind her, and a more telltale beat of his cape on the ground. It only takes another moment before Batman circles around closely to her front and peers at her hand, and then her face, frozen in place.]

Are you alright.

[Daisy would have turned if she could, hearing someone approaching her from behind. She couldn't even move her eyes, so it wasn't until he was standing in front of her that relaxed. Just a little bit.

Judging by her complete and utter lack of movement, or speaking? Yeah, she's not okay. She tries to just move her fingers. Nothing.]

Hh.

[Long shot, but he pulls a small pill out of his belt pocket-- Diazepam-- and moves to put it in her mouth. But first he holds it up between his fingers so she can see what he's doing.]

Muscle relaxant. Give it a few minutes. Don't bite. [He slips it into her mouth and helps her tilt her head back so it'll pass.]

[Did he always carry around drugs? She would've sarcastically asked that if she could, you know, talk. Daisy trusted him enough that what he said he was giving her, was actually what it was.

Not that she could actually complain to him, but, it did hurt a little when he moved her head back because her entire body was unsurprisingly stiff.

It felt like she was waiting an eternity to so much as have her fingers twitch, but when that finally happened she instantly felt relived. It took a few more minutes before she could fully move.]

Thank you.

[Moving her arm back down with a wince, Daisy looked over at the potted plant again. What the hell was that anyway?]

I was trying to break that pot and I froze instead.

[Since he probably was wondering what happened.]

Hh. [His eyes follow hers over to the plant, and then back.]

This sort of thing has been happening all week. It'll probably be best if you try not to use your abilities until we figure out how to fix all of this.

Trust me. I won't.

[Considering how terrified she had been in the beginning of having her powers, this was even more terrifying. If he hadn't, you know, given her drugs there's no telling how long she would've stayed like that.

It's definitely relaxed her though, which is something she hasn't felt since last week.]

So, what? Do you just go around carrying Valium?

[She is thankful.]

[He gives a little quirk of his eyebrow, and an innocent shrug.]

For long nights. Don't complain, maybe you should consider it.

Can't really take it if I can't move my hand.

[Raking her hand through her hair, Daisy lets out a sigh of frustration.]

How are you doing?

[He seemed okay.]

They make patches. Not as good as Valium, but... [A beat.] FLECTOR, I think. Don't know if it's called the same thing here.

[Another pause before answering.]

Anyway, I'm fine. I'm not a metahuman.

[Little hungry, if he had to complain, I guess...]

Why do you know so much about drugs anyway?

[It is mostly genuine curiosity.]

Not sure I know what a metahuman is.

What we call superhumans on my world. Someone with abilities like yours.

And I know a lot of things. [Although, to be a little bit more forthcoming.] It helps to compensate when you can do the things they can.

Right.

[Daisy doesn't see the point of getting into what she actually is, especially right now.]

So what? You're a pharmacists by day, vigilante by night?

I'm someone who's usually prepared. Given the circumstances, I wouldn't be complaining. [Smart ass.]

[That gets a tight lipped smile out of her.]

I never said I was complaining. Just trying to figure you out.

You looked like you needed a hand, that's all.

[Speaking of tight lipped. Sure likes to help out a lot despite being kind of a dick.]

Considering I couldn't move my hand? Yeah, I did. So thanks for that.

[Sorry, Batman. As much as she appreciates the help he's given her, Daisy is still pretty suspicious of him. People that wear masks usually have something to hide.]

Don't worry about it.

[Yeah, like his identity. Anyway, they're both about as talkative as two wet towels, so he'll start to take off unless she has anything else she wants to judge him for.]

One of these days I would love it if you took that mask off. It seems kind of unfair. You know what I look like.

How will I get you to keep talking to me, then?

[Bat-sass. He smirks a little bit, unseen with his back turned, and raises a hand in the air and gives her a casual wave without looking back, whisked away into the air moments later by his jet passing by overhead.]

What a weirdo.

[Daisy just stood there for a moment before giving a slight shake of her head as she walked away. Probably a good idea to just go back home for now.]
