Characters: Ashe McKinnon and Rahim Ka'aukai Setting: secluded bluff overlooking the ocean Summary: Ashe wants help Rating: TBD (probably low)
Ashe was tired of feeling useless and being afraid of his powers. Sure he used tiny bits of them. He appreciated that burns never meant anything. His skin would just heal itself. And it had been helpful when he had been able to put out the fire at Daryn's house. But he hadn't done much with it outside of that. It seemed his powers only showed up when he lost his temper and he didn't want that to be the case. First of all he could do some real damage and he didn't want to hurt anyone by losing his temper. And at the same time if he did have some control? Maybe it could be useful. The least he could do was try.
After asking around Ashe learned that Rahim helped other mutants with their powers. He seemed like a good guy so Ashe decided to try to contact him. The man seemed willing to help so he set up a time and a place to meet. The bluff where he was waiting was one of the first places he remembered going firebird. He hadn't flown very far and he didn't remember much of it, but he remembered the location.
Ashe was nervous as he waited for Rahim. He had no idea what the other man would think of him. He supposed he couldn't think a whole lot worse of him than Ashe did of himself. So what could it hurt" He wasn't likely to lose anything. So taking a deep breath he stared out at the ocean as he waited, trying to keep his nerves in check.
