"Yeah, but in theory, it's at least easier to do than to take away powers. There is a person and an object. Powers are in your DNA or some shit." That's how it seemed to work at least. Maybe he just didn't see it from the same point of view as Mason because he never had a good experience with his powers. He wasn't the kid who was saving people from being fondled and raped - he was the kid who was erasing memories and putting people in comas.
Tony gripped his tray a little tighter when Mason called him a walkover. He was half tempted to slam the tray down and deck Mason across the face but he knew that he didn't want to go making a huge scene. Powers were also said to come out when people were emotionally charged and Tony knew that his could mean trouble for everyone. He wasn't about to go stirring up that much trouble during week one.
"At least I'm not adopted," Tony threw back at Emerson. His blood was starting to boil and he knew that it would probably eat at Mason if he said something like that. And with that, Tony turned and headed towards the tray drop off.
