It was out in one of the training fields. There had been some kind of lightning bolt in the middle of the day, followed by the resounding boom of thunder. To most it would seem to be a summer thunderstorm that just cropped up. It was that time of the year after all. However, maybe someone would think otherwise.
No simple storm leaves the grass in a large circle around it burnt and blackened. In the center lies Amadeus, scattered about the ring inside and out are his various weapons and training tools. Steam rises from his body. He was wearing a set of pants that he had specially made so that they would not be ruined by his electric discharges. Either way he was laying face down in the center of the blast zone, not moving and breathing shallowly.

Wanda had been out in the green house taking care of her plants Dues had been using the equipment and gotten the place back into shape fast. she was coming out when the hairs on the back for her neck stood on end. she knew that feeling when ever storm summoned lighting it would give her chills and sure enough there was the thunder..
but something was odd there was the smell of burnt something she wasn't sure.. did it hit a tree. she went to where she thought it hit. she stopped when she saw the weapons.. what in the world? " Deus?" she went over to him, just what was he thinking trying to attract lighting. she found he had a pulse but he was breathing shallow.. seems he knocked him self out, at least his heart was beating.

Jon was nearby, heard the crack of thunder, and made his way over to the massive burn spot in the ground.
"Oh damnit...not again," he mutters to himself as he sees Wanda leaning over Deus.
He was originally meant to meet his friend here for a little fight practice, but if he blew himself up like this...again...they'd never get anywhere.

She heard some one run up and muttering something and she looked up to see Jon standing there. " you know whats going on? is this something he has tried before?" she got up and a pillowey red bubble lifted up from the ground under deus. its flipped him over to his back and he floated up off the ground.

"Yeah, he's been doing this for a while," says Jon, walking over to Deus. Reaching out a hand, he gets a slight static jolt from his friend, which seemingly confirms his suspicions.
"He's blown a fuse. Again."

As if on cue Amadeus groans and rolls over. What happened? He had been gather power and then... oh... He tries to crack his left eye. They would just see the scars on the left side of his face whiten. Or, right, that one's gone. He starts to roll to get a view of who's to his left, right eye cracked. Of course this would not end well as he has a little trouble at first. Of course then he exerts too much pressure and ends up rolling himself off the pillow and he lands face-down on the ground.
"Ooowwwww...."

"See, he's perfectly fine," says Jon, watching Deus roll off the pillow.
"Just a little zapped."

" Yeah right perfectly fine my ass he just basically knocked him self out. is he frying parts of his brain when he blows his fuse like that?" she knows that he has been threw a lot but he could hurt him self if he keeps knocking himself out every time he wants to power up. " just what were you really trying to do maybe i can help."

He was still a little groggy. He rolls onto his back and then sits up slowly. His body ached, but it was an ache he was enjoying. Pain is just weakness leaving the body. Also this ache meant progress.
"Oh... hey Jon... hey Wanda."
What was he doing? How to explain it. He kind of looks to Jon for help as he rubs the back of his head with a bit of a sheepish laugh. He was drawing a blank, after all he did just wake up.

"He's basically trying to see how much raw energy he can collect and hold at once, kinda like a one man buffer," explains Jon, "I do it naturally with my own kinetic energy, but he has to concentrate on charging up, not to mention maintenance of the building energy."
He walks over to Deus, and holds out a hand, offering to help his friend up.
"But, eventually, all that energy has to go somewhere, and while in a normal power use situation it gets used up rather quickly as it gets flung around. In this case, it has to discharge all at once, since it's either that or he burns out, literally."

" Well it sounds like to me that he is not discharging the energy fast enough after he reaches his limit am i right. but it seems that you are also trying to increase your limit at the same time and it just creates a cycle of burn outs." she sighed " i know that you want to get stronger we all do that's why we practice but its like your going tree times as fast. what is the rush?"

"Ever been to one of those rallies? I have. Both times things went south. The world is a scary place these days and..."
As he takes Jon's hand he stands up with help. He motions with his chin back towards the mansion.
"Those kids shouldn't have to protect themselves. They deserve to have people to rely on, and I have to make sure that I am reliable. I've run into mutants I couldn't beat. And then there's always the other threats. Everyone has to do their part, right?"
He smiles again, and does the sheepish scratching behind his head. Jon would know that were a few other reasons. Of course Wanda could most likely add two and two well enough to guess at the other reasons.

Jon smirked, remembering the Sentinel incident somewhat fondly. It might not have been the best night of his life, but it was an interesting encounter to say the least.
"We've both been upping the ante a bit," says Jon, "I've been working on combining my newer abilities with my old ones, making for some...interesting combinations."

She sighed looking at him and shook her head a bit. " Well please be more careful ok or do i need to assign her to baby sit you two before you end up killing yourselves, know what never mind just forget i said that other wise im sure that you would have some ungodly thought and image in your head." she had a hunch about him and Roslyn she saw how she looked at him some times especially the first day back so she wouldn't be to surprised if something happened between those two.

"I don't reckon anyone could stop me without throwing me in the lockup, Wanda. There is nothing wrong with what I am doing, and I can't seem to be killed by energy that I gather from myself. I'm trying to up the amount of energy I produce as well. There won't always be transformers around for me to put in one level of energy and bump it up a level, or power lines for me to nosferatu. I can only rely on my own power. I want to be able to knock Logan out at the very least. If I can hit him with enough electricity to knock him out then I can knock just about anyone out."
