Mia had insisted that she learned how to defend herself. Without her powers. Because as Mia had so bluntly put it, "you still gotta throw a punch if your powers are gone, you can't just ask the bad guy to wait until they're back."
Fair enough.
So she'd been practicing. And had probably gone a little too hard and too long the first practice session. Her arms had felt like lead weights the day after. But she wanted to prove she was tough, and so she'd just cut down an hour.
"Left, right, left, right, left, left..." she whispered as she punched over and over again, eyes focused on the punching back. "...right, right, right..." Around and around the bag she went, dancing on her feet a little. As well as she was doing, at one point, without realizing it, she brought her right hand back far for one solid punch ... an open hand ...
The bag was sent FLYING across the room with a gust of wind and smacked against the wall. Squeaking with surprise, Maxine stared, wide-eyed at the sand now pouring EVERYWHERE. "Oh noooooo," she groaned, shoulders slumping.
