Well Fu-

Why Are You Here?

"See what I'm saying?"

Static was on the ground, face up and limbs spread out like a starfish. His breaths were heavy as he stared at the lights on the Happy Place.

"Yeah yeah you're a better hand to hand fighter than me, but I don't see how beating me to a pulp is gonna help in any way"

"Oh it's not, I just did that to let off steam"

Static's face twitched, but before he could force himself back to his feet you stifled a laugh.

"Kidding, I'm kidding. I just wanted to see how good you were without using any your powers in one round, and a round where you can only use that condensed energy thing"
"Why?"

You looked at him like he was an idiot. A look that Static felt weirdly insulted at.

"What's your Hero name?"
"Static? Static Shock?"
"EXACTLY!"

You yelled at him, causing him to cover his ears and close his eyes with an exhausted face.

You kneeled down and began to poke his head repeatedly.
"Anyone that purposefully comes after you, or knows there's a chance of you showing up will be prepared. Your whole gimmick is you have electric-based attacks, so all they have to do is wear electric-resistant gear. Then what? If there's no metal around and you have nothing else up your sleeve then you'll either get the shit beat out of you or worse"

He swatted your hand away. "And how is this helping?!" He reiterated.

"Well, like I said a single day of practice won't help your fighting skills. The only way I can make a difference in that is with repeated training blah-blah-blah. However, when it comes to powers we just have to look at things from a different perspective"
'I've seen enough fiction to know that'

"Which is?"

"Make your electric dagger thingie"

Static let out a groan, one that he held for an unnecessary amount of time, and then complied.

Holding up one of his hands from his laid down position, energy flowed from his fingertips and condensed to form an unstable blue mass in the shape of a dagger with no hilt.

After a few seconds, the energy within it dispersed, leaving empty air in its place.

Static laid his head back down, and let out another groan of exhaustion. After all, it was only yesterday he had finally stomped limping and was able to walk straight, and currently he just wanted a day of peace.

"Do it again"
"Please, god, give me a day of rest" He said over dramatically.
You stared at him with squinted eyes.
"I want to test something"

Making himself repeat the action, another dagger of electricity formed.

You kicked it.

On impact the makeshift weapon shattered and once again dispersed, and the action startling Static.

"Warning next time!"
"Resistance"

You had a smile on your face as you stared at the spot the dagger was a second before.

"I felt resistance. There was resistance. It still shattered but if there's resistance then it can be useful in a fight, and there's a chance we can increase that. Maybe make it so it can actually withstand multiple blows"

Your smile turned into a frown.

"But that'll take practice and time, we don't have that"
"I have an idea"

You cocked your head to the side and stared at him in surprise.

"Yeah?"
"What if we focus on the opposite of resistance"
"Go on"
