Im talking like... Full lock down. No people. Super strong walls. No way to break through sort of place.

Would one of those exist?

Uh... Yeah. I'm Ben.

Its just... And this is going to sound really uh... Dumb, I think.

So you know we all have powers, right? Mines just... Its dangerous, okay? And I just dont want to hurt anyone, but I can feel it, you know? Under my skin and its just... Pushing. Maybe I'm just imagining it... Dad said that I was like that because I was too sensitive and that is bad so --

Thats not really the point. Sorry.

Uh I just thought if I could just let it out somewhere that maybe I wouldnt feel it so much. When I was younger, my dad had a ~~cage~~ room in the basement with unbreakable walls and a door made out of this unbreakable glass stuff so that he could... Study my powers until he stopped ~~because I'm a freak and it made him Ill~~.

But it's dangerous because it just... It rips people apart. And I have a hard time controlling it. And I dont want to hurt anyone, sir.

	I see. I constructed jewelry for Vanya to help absorb the impact of her powers to keep anyone, including herself, from getting hurt. Would you be interested in something similar? No pain, no tracking. There was talk of creating a space, but we weren’t sure how people would feel about it. If you are requesting a spot — let me talk to the others.

	Yeah. Klaus told me about that... He said he was going to get someone to make me some, but he's been ~~in the hospital~~ ill. I have... A lot of anxiety about it accidentally coming out of the portal and hurting someone. It... Literally tears people apart and I can't... I have a hard time stopping it (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Welcome. [Ben] There are some abandoned places around if you want to check them out. Some are less hospitable than others. Some are part of abandoned subway tunnels and platforms so they’re underground. I can take you there or draw you a map, and you can decide if any would work for you.

	~~People always find a way even in the most abandoned of places.~~ There are several that are nearly impossible to get to. One is only accessible by a trap door, assuming you can't just appear wherever you want at will, and I imagine it could be locked from the inside to prevent errant tourists from stumbling upon it at an inopportune time.

	I told someone about my powers... I think it scared them. They said it made them want to work faster. I probably shouldnt have said anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's more than I've done. I've told no one who doesn't already know. But I don't think anyone needs to know about mine. Maybe they feel motivated to help? What are they working on? ~~I only agree on the basis that I will kill anyone who tries to hurt you or confine you against your will for it.~~ Because you think you scared them?

	They are working on a safe room. I think. At least that was the context of which we were talking about my power. I just... I know people will act different around me if they know. I dont want a lot of people to know. Klaus is working on getting me so.ething like Vanya had. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Did they say what kind of safe room? ~~There was talk of some kind of dampening field or building. No one answered my questions~~

I can relate. If you don't want a lot of people to know, I've no plans to tell anyone who doesn't absolutely need to know without your permission. I don't know how others will react, but it's more than understandable to believe they will act differently. There are people here with abilities as varied as our own, and I do think there is a probability there are people who won't act differently around you. But I understand.

~~What do you know about Vanya's power?~~ What have you been told about Vanya's power? Tony Stark made her something to help with it, so I assume that's who Klaus is talking to for you.

	Um. Not really. I didn't really ask. Just... when people know... it's a lot to get past. I just want to be normal for a little while. It's been nice. Just that she has them. And that they're a lot. So that she needs the power dampeners. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

All right.

~~There is not normal. Is that a life lesson yo can learn at seventeen? I think I~~

I can't say I know much about being normal, but I think part of it is finding things you like to do and doing things outside of all that superhero bullshit. Sometimes those things are mundane things like school or work or cleaning.

~~She also needs~~ They are. I think what was made for her helped, but it still allowed her access to her ability (at least to a point. They were made specifically for her and her ability, and my experience with it is not the first hand it would be from her, so part of this is speculation), which might make it easier to practice and control and learn how to control it. I would think something similar could be done for other powers that could help taper off the worst of it while allowing control to be gained. I don't know if that's something you'd ever want to look into, but, if it is, I'd be happy to look into it with you. Or anything else you want to do. It doesn't have to be related to your power at all.
