Joe shook his head and said, "Next time it will be different. This time it wasn't me.. I don't know... Something in my head just, it just snapped! Next time won't be the same! Destiny, please! Just kill me!" He got down on his knees, and the tears started to turn into blood.

Destiny pulled a tissue out of hammerspace and wiped away the blood and the tears. "No," she said simply, "Now get up and clean yourself off. You'll never learn control and you'll never get anywhere if you stay here and cry. Come on, up. I'll get us a pizza."

Joe slowly stood up and said, "Destiny...." He hugged her tightly, and his body was extrenely warm, as in like 110 degrees. "I don't now what I'd be able to do without you!" He hugged tighter, but not so tight as it would hurt her.

"Oh, waste away and die, probably" she joked, hugging him back. The heat of his body didn't affect her in the slightest; being a pyrokinetic meant that her own body temperature was extremely high.

Joe's body temperature began steadily increasing. He let go of her slowly and said, "I'll probably still waste away and die..." He shuvered a little bit, then said, "Is it me, or is it really hot?" Visible heatwaves were radiating from his skin. He was probably about 130 degrees by now.

Destiny felt his forehead. "Well, you feel fine to me, so that probably means we could use you to boil water since normal folks feel like icecubes. Want some icy water or a cold shower?"

Joe shook his head. Then winced and yelped in pain. He grabbed his wrist and yelled out, making painful faces. He turned over his hand. It was the same hand he had grabbed the fireon with. A huge burn mark was emitting waves of heat from his palm. He fell to the ground and said, "Oh my God... What happened while I was.... Transformed!?"

"Well, you grabbed the Fireon disc I was on. But it's never induced that kind of reaction before, not even in the written accounts." Destiny said, starting to get a little worried. She pulled out a magnifying glass, trying to get a better look at the burn mark.

Joe's external & interal body heats were both rising rapidly. By now, his external was around 160, his internal 170. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground, then began convulsing in seizure-like spasms. His hand caught on fire, but the fire did not burn his skin at all.

Destiny pulled out a gallon of icy cold water and dumped it on him then started putting pillows around him to make sure he didn't hurt himself.

The icy water did nothing to the fire, and Joe kept on crying out in pain. The fire spread to his arm. He kept on with the spasms. A bolt of lightning crashed to the ground beside him, then again and again, until the ground was black, hard, and icey cool to the touch in that square foot area.

Destiny backed off, not really wanting to get smacked by a lightning bolt. She sat down, waiting to see what would happen.

Joe finally ended his spasms. He just laid there, breathing heavily, as his chest heaved in and out. His head and other arm caught on fire, though it didn't burn anything. He gasped for air. His body heat was still rising, it was almost to boiling point and then, it just stopped rising. It stayed at 200 degrees, internal and external.

Destiny threw a blanket on him in a vague attempt to try smother the flames.

The fires, all of a sudden, just disappeared. Before she threw the blanket on him. He laid there, not breathing at all. A faint memory played through his head, 'A young boy played in a small yard with a white picket fence. A young man, who looked to be in his thirties, held him up high. "Again grandpa, again!" the little boy said, and the oder man swung him around in the air Then, his eyes shot open, he threw the blanket off and sat up.

"Um, you okay there, Joey? You kind of had a spaz attack there." Destiny said, looking nonplussed.

Joe looked at her and said "Destiny..." Then fell back to the ground, dead asleep from the exhaustion. His brow was sweating, nut he slept peacefully.

"Okay, um... I'm taking you home in case any raccoons chow down on you." Destiny said, mostly to herself. She grabbed Joe under the armpits and started shuffling backwards into hammerspace.

Joe mumbled something in his sleep, which sounded something like, "Mmmluff yeww...."......
