Snippet #2336199

Dom was counting on Lydia. If she didn't volunteer for him then he'd have to make a vase or something suspend in midair, and wouldn't that be exciting to see?

"Sure, why not?" Dom sighed in relief and smiled as she walked forward.

“Okay, just relax and don't move, this won't hurt a bit.” Lydia looked slightly nervous, having no idea what Dom was about to do to her. Dom actually noticed that her weight began to shift to one side, and her front foot lifted the sole every so slightly off the ground, as it to dictate that if Dom was going to try and harm her, he had quite another thing coming. It was a reflex any fighter would have. Dom knew he liked her for a reason.

Dom took a deep breath and raised both his hands outwards, palms facing Lydia. He put all of his focus into his power, willing gravity to dissipate in the area around Lydia. And with that, ever so gently, Lydia lifted from the ground.

At first she was startled, her face a look of sudden shock, but after a few seconds she realized what was happening and the look on her face changed into a gleeful smile. Who wouldn't love the chance to experience zero gravity?

Dom would have laughed and smiled back, but all of his concentration was going into keeping her suspended. He could feel the familiar fatigue begin to creep up on him, and a bead of sweat began to trickle down his face. Letting Lydia float too high up could be dangerous too, once gravity returned she'd fall right back down. Dom couldn't ease gravity back, it was either there or it wasn't.

Dom flashed his eyes up to Lydia's, she was about four feet off the ground now. Lydia saw, and stopped smiling long enough to know what he was going to do. Dom let gravity return to normal with a loud exhale of exhaustion and Lydia landed gracefully back on solid ground.

No one moved as Dom was trying to catch his breath. He felt dizzy but he refused to show too much weakness in front of everyone. “That takes a lot out of me but it's the most fancy thing I can do. I can also intensify gravity on my body and force it outwards, but I wouldn't wanna make Lydia a pancake.

“So, who's next?”
