Daphne grinned when Jason agreed they could go back in time. She wanted to do this. She wanted to find out if it really could work just with his power making hers stronger. Not that she didn't beleive him or anything, she just wanted to see it work. It would be amazing to be in New Jersey in present day one minute, and then in Kansas a few year previous the next.
"Great!" Daphne said in exclamation excited about the prospect. Then he said 'let's go' as he grabbed her hand. "Yeah, I can't wait to see how this works" she said still as excited as before. The earlier indication before had got her excited enough about going back in time. Being able to go back years with this was just amazing.
"Okay then" she said as she began to think of herself running very, very fast, just like she did when she was using her speed ability. Not too much longer they weren't in New Jersey anymore as she opened her eyes and saw they were in a corn field. Not only has she been thinking of running fast, she'd been thinking of home.
"No it looks like we're in Kansas Jason, my home town" she said slowly and quietly. "I guess I must have been thinking of home as well as thinking fast, could that be possible?" she asked him, as she looked around some more and confirmed for herself she was indeed in Kansas back at her home. She began to wonder if she'd see herself as a teenager wearing her leg braces, and if she'd have to explain all about her Cerebal Palsy.

Jason laughed about her comment about not seeing this work. He smiled knowing that she was going to be surprise when this worked. He had tired this once before and it was successful. However, it was only experimenting with that and he was only back in time for a few moments.
“Interesting, we aren’t in New Jersey anymore Toto” He said with a bit of laugh. It was something that was just a joke when people weren’t in a certain area of where they were familiar with. It was kind of interesting. He smiled at Daphne.
Jason paused for a moment and gazed around the corn field. “So we might see yourself as a teenager” He folded his arms as he heard some noise. He looked at Daphne and gazed around where he thought he could hear something at. “Shh…I think someone is coming” He said in a whisper.

Daphne laughed when Jason laughed when she got excited about seeing how his ability worked with her own. She couldn't help but act like a silly teenager with excitement, it wasn't every day you could go back sixteen years within a few minutes, it was simply wonderful if it was crazy at the same time.
Daphne laughed some more when Jason made the reference from Wizard of Oz about not being in New Jersey anymore, except it's usually not in Kansas anymore, but of course they were in Kansas. She looked around taking in the familiar surroundings even if it was from the past, not much had changed from when she was a child until she was last at home.
She smiled at Jason. "Yeah there's a chance we might see my teenage self" Daphne said, although she wasn't so keen on that part of her being exposed, but she had nobody to blame but herself, she'd obviously thought of home as well as running super fast, otherwise they wouldn't be here now. She'd just have to cope with it and explain if they did see her teenage self.
When Jason said he thought he heard someone coming, Daphne just grinned because she knew it was either going to be herself or her dad. She looked again, "It's my dad" she whispered, "Come on I don't want him to see us, he wouldn't understand" she said quietly as she made her way to the house and looked through the living room window. She saw herself sitting on the sofa, looking as comfortable as she could given the circumstances of her leg braces.
"Well there's me" she said softly and sadly, looking round at Jason and giving him a weak smile.

Jason smiled. He liked seeing how his ability worked. It was good to supercharge other people’s abilities and he hoped that perhaps one day he could help people with abilities to gain their abilities full potential. It was just one of his goals it life it would seem to him.
He just laughed when he reference the Wizard of Oz. It was quiet odd to even say we aren’t in New Jersey anymore. When in fact the famous saying was we aren’t in Kansas anymore it would seem to him. He never been in Kansas, but it was nice to see a change of scenery. Even if it was sixteen years in the past. He still could say to people that he had in fact been to Kansas.
He raised an eyebrow when Daphne said that he might see her teenage self. He wondered if she was an athlete, she was awfully super fast and he wondered if she was an athlete. It would just have seemed natural for people to be with that. Of course he really didn’t understand the entire ability thing. Perhaps she was totally different then she was at the moment.
Jason raised his eyebrow again as Daphne told him that it was her father that was coming. “Great” He said in a whisper as he followed her towards the house. He looked inside and just looked twice. She was wearing braces, so she wasn’t athletic she was disabled. He looked at Daphne and whispered, “So you have what, cerebral palsy?” He asked

Daphne was glad they had missed her dad, because it was true, he wouldn't understand. For a start he might recognise her as she hadn't changed too much and he'd begin to wonder why she had no leg braces on, and then there would be the whole 'who is this guy' thing. Or he might not have recognised her, and wondered who the hell the strangers were on his property. She just smiled when he said great, but luckily they had moved in time and completely missed her dad.
Looking in on herself was rather weird however. Seeing herself with leg braces on when she hadn't worn them for quite some time.
He seemed to know exactly what she had too, which surprised her slightly. Not everybody got it. "Yeah, Cerebal Palsy, that's right" she said. "It's a wonder when you look at me now, but that's obviously how the powers worked I am guessing, all the while I was like that, all I ever wanted was to be able to run, and the next thing I know I can and extremely fast at that" she said as she looked up at Jason her head cocked to the side and her lips pursed slightly.

Jason looked in and out of the house and nodded as Daphne spoke about how she could acquire her powers. He smiled “Well, I have a theory” He said as he looked back at the present Daphne. Of course, the theory was Mohinder Suresh’s theory, but it was something. “Okay it’s my colleague theory, but it’s kind of lame and it probably doesn’t make any sense” Jason said as glanced around the town.
He changed the subject, “You know, I always wanted to live in a small town, but I grew up just outside of New York City, Westchester wasn’t bad, but we spent most of our times in New York City” He said as he was referring that he wished he lived in a small town, but actually didn’t. [Argh, sorry..lol]

"Well I'd like to hear that theory" Daphne said, because it sounded like she was totally off, and she wanted to know what the theory was. She certainly thought the fact she had always wanted to run and then suddenly could with these powers it was obvious it gave you the power to do what you had always wanted to do. Like if she had always wanted to self heal, she'd have that power.
As she listened to him talk about living in a small town, or wanting to live in a small town, but grew up in the city, she wasn't sure what it had to do with the powers. Naturally wishing you lived in a smaller town wouldn't work when people got their powers, because what was powerful about living in a small town.
"But when we got our powers, it wouldn't have given you the power of living in a small town would it?" she asked confused. "You have supercharge which helps others powers right? So did you not at the time we all gained powers ever thought about wanting to help others?" she asked, then again if her theory about the powers was wrong then maybe what he was saying about the living in small town thing wasn't so confusing after all.

Jason smiled, “Alright the theory is that our abilities come from the Eclipse” He began as he tried to make sense of this. “My colleague says that the majority of the abilities that he has documented were connected with the Eclipse…well, the last one which was like two years ago” He said sighing as he hoped how he described it wasn’t awkward.
Jason hoped that this entire conversation wasn't awkward. He hated awkward conversations. But what was the big deal. He was just a crazy kid, who had an ability. He was an Air Force person and he wanted to go back, so back. He hated life being a normal citizen.
“No, it wouldn’t” He said a bit sarcastically. “Of course, I wanted to help people and I got the ability to supercharge, my mother had flight and my siblings have abilities also. My brother William has the ability to heal, my twin siblings have Invisibility and Camouflage” He said as he smiled. “So the theory is that what we wanted to do, seemed to catch up with us” He said sighing yet again.

When Jason explained the theory about the powers coming from the eclipse, she sort of already knew that. Or at least had a feeling that's what happened, because she got the ability to run not long after there had been an eclipse. However, she just nodded her head and smiled slightly. "Yeah, that's what I thought actually" she said in reply. Not wanting to sound bad, but just wanting him to know she had a sort of idea about how they had got their powers. And she remembered always wanting to run.
She just looked the other way when he gave her his sarcastic response about the living in a small town thing, figured she must have misunderstood why he was telling her what he had told her. Oh well she thought. Then he continued, and mentioned about the abilities his family had and that he had wanted to help others and got the ability of Supercharge. So her theory of the type of power they got was right after all.
"I thought that might have been the reason why we got the powers we got" she said in reply, "So I guess your siblings always wanted the power to heal and hide themselves?" she said with a bit of a laugh toward the end over the idea of his twin siblings having Invisibility and Camouflage.

Jason wasn’t sure if his theory made any sense. Of course, this theory was from Dr. Suresh and Suresh seemed to be a smartass with the theories. He just gave a weak smile as he smiled at Daphne when she spoke. “Of course, our powers can also be taken by the Eclipse, for a moment, but then be brought back” He said sighing. His mother told him that. She had her powers long before her children.
He watched her look the other way. Okay, so that was kind of a bad response. It was probably because his lovely disorder was working. He was fucked up. He had to get himself fucked up, just his luck. He shook his head an decided to apologize. “I’m sorry” He stated, not sure if the response was good for the moment. Nevertheless, Jason thought it would be best to apologize about his sarcastic response.
“Perhaps” He began with a weak smile, “It would seem that they wanted that, I just got the odd power of the group” He said shaking his head. It was the truth. To be honest, he didn’t know how he could get the ability to supercharge, he didn’t expect to be a supercharger. He expected to get a weak power like his siblings. Perhaps his destiny wasn’t to have a weak power. Perhaps it was something more.

Daphne nodded her head in agreement slowly, "Well it makes sense really, if the eclipse should have given them, then it would take them away, but I'm glad that it's only temporary, I feel so much better the way I am now, than the way I was then" Daphne explained, still looking at herself through the window. It was weird to be outside looking through a window at her younger self.
"It's fine" Daphne said when she turned back around again, "My fault for saying something stupid I guess" she added, as she pursed her lips with a small smile. Yes his reply had been sarcastic and it had hurt her a little, but if she hadn't been so silly in the first place, she'd have more than likely laughed off his sarcasm in the first place.
"Hey, it might be an odd power Jason, but it's a damn good one" she replied with a grin, and it was. How many of the powers was able to make another power much stronger than it already was, what other power could make her power work by taking them back in time. It was great. "Personally I think any power is great, but I'm glad I have the power I have" Daphne added.
She loved being able to run around fast. The best was being able to take something so easily without being noticed.
