I've run over a few last scans, detailing Alex's power levels and mapping the leakage. I'd say our theories are confirmed, Madelyn... the 'leakage' is actually a steady venting of excess power, which should prevent any more explosions. The body cares for itself. Of course, the power-venting brings problems of its own, but not insurmountable ones, and I admit I played those down when discussing them with Alex. I felt the important thing was to make sure he worries about it as little as possible, since fear and uncertainty regarding one's powers tends to send one's control right out the window.

Scott, if possible, I'd like to schedule regular Danger Room sessions for Alex, twice a week. Not the team runs, of course, but we could set up some basic drills for him to do. Preferably something simple that will allow him to feel more in control of his powers, and that he's making progress. (State of mind really is terribly important. If he becomes more confident in his handling of his powers, control will follow) The real goal of the sessions would be to allow him to use up some of the power that he keeps accumulating. The Danger Room is heavily shielded, and he can throw his powers around in there without it mattering very much if they don't always do as he wishes, and without being afraid of doing anyone any harm. I'm going to talk to Forge about putting together a version of the containment suit he designed for Alison, for Alex's use when he's not in the Danger Room, to help prevent any problems potentially caused by the leakage.

Madelyn, I've left the newest scans on your desk, if you wouldn't mind looking them over. Although the most immediate priority must be to control the unintentional leakage and give his powers a safe outlet, those are essentially stopgap measures. I'd like to discuss more long-term ideas with you when you have time.

I can adapt some of the basic drills for energy-projectors, Hank; those should work for these purposes, I'd think. I'll run them past you.

Keep me updated, all right? I worry, for obvious reasons.

Scott

Subject: Yay for theories.

Good to see our theory confirmed and that the leakage is nothing serious - with Selene involved, it's hard to judge what effects there are on powers. We're still figuring out when and if Manuel will ever his back.

Any way, onto more positive things - scans I have looked at, and conferring I can do. Looks like my learning curve is due another boost with Moira away, hmm?
