- My bugs served to give me a half-second of early warning as they felt her jam one hand into the side-pocket of her dress.

I can even guess most of the time, if I know what powers the person has. And I can pry it wide open, make it so the powers can’t be turned off, or I can temporarily disable it, or modify it.

Can’t experiment with your abilities if I’ve fried your whole Corona Pollentia, right? Right.”
