It was unfair, and Dove was pretty sure that she'd have coped with it all better if she'd known that it was like this from the start, if she'd known that while it was possible they weren't doing it with her. But they'd just said that they had to shut off all her powers, that it was what was for the best. And Dove just accepted it, because she hadn't really done anything wrong, she hadn't fought anyone or hurt anybody, she'd never committed a crime with her powers or tried to, she'd even gone along quietly and willingly when the Regiment agents had come to collect her from school after the incident.
So being lied to, being treated like she wasn't trustworthy, it stung.
"That's why it... I know that I can be dangerous," Dove had to take a deep breath, to try and calm herself, stay coherent and not screechy and emotional. "But I don't mean to be, and I want to learn to not be." She wanted to figure out if there was a way she could get things to the level where she controlled what she did and when, where she wasn't a risk, where she could safely go home if the SEA passed.
"It was just..." Dropping her chin onto her clasped hands, elbows perched on the table, Dove nodded a little. "There's a new girl, Izzy, she seems nice. But she mentioned to Adam, one of the other new people, that her powers were limited, but only partially in one case. And one power is shut off. But she can still use other powers." And it wasn't Izzy's fault, and Dove didn't think the girl even really knew what she'd sparked by telling Adam that either, just that Mason and Aidan had seen it, and Dove had been curious about what they were talking about.
She should've remembered what happened to curious cats. "But it's like they don't trust some of us with any of our powers, and I just feel like I messed something up somewhere." She didn't really take it well when she failed at something, she knew it was a flaw, that she didn't need to be the best or get the best marks or stuff.
"I'm sorry, you probably don't care about any of this and I'm just word vomiting everywhere."
