[powers plot - Elsa]
Jan. 8th, 2018 07:44 pmMarcus doesn't like this. Doesn't like any of it and yet there's not a lot he can do about it besides what he's doing now.
Matthias has given him Elsa's number, he'd told Marcus she has similar powers, that she'll be able to help, and Marcus doesn't really know what that means or how she's supposed to be expected to help him with this, but in the end he calls her all the same. It's dangerous, what he can do, and after a day of sitting alone in his apartment and causing snow storms to swirl around outside the window no matter what he tries to do to stop it, he has to accept he can't do this alone. If he buries the damn city, they'll all be in danger and Marcus can't do that. He simply can't.
She agrees to meet him so easily and even that makes him feel a little guilty. It's like he's taken something from her and even so, she's willing to help him, and Marcus doesn't know if he would ever be so generous with himself if the same thing happened to him. It's not as if hearing God is a power, not in the same way, but he's long since lost His voice and if someone were to ask him for help, if someone were to tell him they were hearing God and didn't know how to deal with it, Marcus might very well turn his back on them out of anger and jealousy.
But Elsa doesn't do that. She agrees to meet him and so Marcus pulls on the gloves he's taken to wearing almost all the time and makes the trek down to the beach. There are coves at the far end, she's told him, and she'll meet him there. Marcus is just pleased to know it's a secluded place and all he can do is hope, once he arrives, that he doesn't hurt her by accident.
