"Makes your ass look like a pair of meat loaves under a blanket of bacon. Ugh." Renee shook her head at that, then when Tony started geeking out, Renee blinked.
"Dude, what--wait. Pete said you didn't have mutants where you came from. Yeah okay, that's one of my powers--it's not nothing, it's kinetic energy and I absorb it. So like my footsteps, punching the train, you know. I store it like a battery and then when I want to, I can do stuff with it. Like make those knives I can throw and they go boom when they hit something. But right now they're just kinda like...hard light, I guess? So it's got a blade."
Renee shakes her head at that. "There's a guy the Institute knows about who could charge cards and make them explode, but I can just make knives right now. And shields. I might be able to do more stuff with more practice, they hadn't exactly found a limit to what I could do while I was there." But man, that felt uncomfortably like bragging, and Renee ducked her head a little.
