Another room, another target. Jay frowned and drew upon the power yet again. It came easier now than ever before, but fatigue was beginning to set. Barely slept the night before. Hangover this morning. And worked with the power off and on all day. The rush to find Natalie and confrontation of battle. Healing that stripped some extra energy. And tension cording his muscles every moment since.
Earth came to him, easier than he thought. But sweat already erupted a sheen across his eyes. The curl of smoke clung to his clothes and hair. He focused on it, welcomed it like the comfort of lounging in front of a bonfire on a nice summer night.
But what Marcus described? Nothing.
"I don't know. It's all the same. Kind of--"
His gaze narrowed. There was something to Earth. It thrummed in harmony with the skeleton of steel, and Jay knew every angle and weld coursing its edges. He found the weak spots and knew that only a little extra probing at those corners could collapse the whole structure.
When the bed thunked to the floor, Jay folded his arms and frowned.

Only darkness shows you the light.
