Post "Dark Takeru" ficlet

Leo sat at home, looking at a simple electrical diagram. He was aware of how electricity worked, how power worked, how to give a device enough power but not too much that the conduits and the device didn't fry.

But he wasn't thinking about a device. He was thinking of his own body. He wasn't good with biology, but in some ways the situation he was facing was similar to the devices he worked on. To ignore a problem with electrical flow in a device could destroy it.

And the same could happen to him, if he guessed right. He somehow had the ability to generate some mystical power. There was clearly some kind of switch in him that released that power and generated wind. But there was something specific that was needed to trip that switch and cause the power to go outwards instead of building up within him.

If he didn't find it, it could destroy him, fry him. If it weren't for that, he'd happily ignore the whole thing.

But it was clear: the armored figure might try to force him to use his power again. It was also clear that he'd somehow stepped into the whole fray, as far as at least one supervillain was concerned. It was a race against the clock to figure out that switch before something that he didn't want killed him.

He just hoped he'd find it in time.
