Lightning Rod

Summary:

In which Mari snaps.

During a thunder storm.

 

Or is it better to call it a Lightning storm?

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

A rain storm starts as anger brews, sparks of electricity coming off their body as she grits her teeth. It just keeps happening and happening and happening and no one believes him.

He can smell smoke somewhere, something was burning. The ground around them charred as lightning strikes closer and closer.

Yelling and screaming words that she doesn't even process, nothing but madness and fury filling her mind. Tears in his eyes as he screams at the audience who just *refuse* to hear what they have to say.

She faintly hears people cry out for her to get inside.

Someone approaches, but her vision is too blurry to tell who.

His skin tingles and she sees white and-

And Mari has hurt someone again. Like how they hurt Bear.

Mari doesn't want to hurt anyone, not again, not ever again.

His breathing quickens and they don't know what to do because what if they were right? What if Mari really was a danger and the cause of everything?

She can't do this.

She can't do this.

Someone Something grabs her arm and he sees them shake, the electricity no doubt hurting them much more than it hurts him. Thunder sounds in the background.

He smells burning flesh.

Maybe this would be better if.. If Mari just- left.

Mari's scared.

The static in the air gets thicker and Mari jerks her arm away, backing away from their friend the other person.

Mari only gets a few steps away before the smell of ozone gets stronger.

His skin tingles, her body buzzes, and-

Their whole world goes white.
