Wesley was finally home, currently taking a break and playing a game of chess with himself. Erol had indicated he wanted to speak with him. So he was now making himself available by being alone in a public room of the house.
OOC: Sorry for the AWFUL prompt, but I've been stumped for weeks and figured I'd just better start it already. Also, he can train with the NSA members if you'd like that.

Stumbling through the large home Erol took his time getting to Wesley where he found the man playing a game of chess. It appeared he didn't have a partner and wondered how on earth anyone could play a game of chess by themself. Knocking lightly on the open door he stepped in when the man looked up but didn't say anything, only taking a seat at the empty chair.
Watching for a moment he grumbled at the odd game. It never made any sense to him. Still, he was here to talk to Wesley so cleared his throat to address the issue. "I've been having some strange dreams lately." He began looking at the chess board while the man played. "Every time its about my powers, how they lash out uncontrollably and kill people that I care about. It's like no amount of control or mental commands, it just keeps lashing out, destroying everything until the power eventually kills me." His eyes remained on the chess pieces though he wasn't certain if he was asking for help or simply making a statement. He looked up finally a great deal of concern in his brown eyes.
(( It's alright ))

"Like you're in a car that has breaks, but you have to mash too hard and your legs are too short for it." Wesley muttered after a moment's pause. He looked straight at Erol, "And everyone around you is too busy screaming to be of any good use, but when the police get ahold of you, all they want to do is rail and accuse. That was my version." He sighed. "So what I did was learn how to drive better. And never bought a car with breaks longer than my legs. Unfortunately, life tends to give those whether you want them or not. Well, two things, Erol, you can get your dream self to either restrain your powers, or you can beat them before they beat you. Three things. You could, perhaps, ignore it and hope it goes away."
None of it was great revelations, but Wesley wasn't going to jump into something without testing the waters first.

Erol sighed. This Wesley person sure knew how to beat around a bush, though he vaguely understood what he was getting at. "Fine! I just wish I knew how to use my powers better. I don't want them taking control of me.. of my life. So..." He looked at Wesley determination there. "...what should I do? Those dreams aren't just being played for featured filmed references or anything. I know its some kind of warning my self conscious is telling me... or maybe I'm reading too much into it. But I rather error on the side of caution."

Wesley smiled, "Shockwave abilities." He stated, then looked back at the chess game.
He moved a piece. "What leaves you out of control? Certain mediums? The power of the waves? Certain moods? When you train, you always train above your ability level. But you do it perfectly. Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. When you can repeat ten times without fault, you know you are secured. Then you study and find another weakness and repeat."

"Huh?" Erol replied ineloquantly at such a long winded piece of insightful information. His small brain could barely keep up as it was. Picking bits and piece he managed to gather the general conversation that Wesley was getting at. Noting the move he still didn't get the game and now he was having problems understanding the man as well. But with time came understanding and it all came into place. Shaking his head he watched the man carefully. "It's not that... it's just that I'm forbidden to use my powers in public, Charlies says its too dangerous. But all this holding back is irritating. I feel dizzy and hot--" He looked away. "The more I restarin myself the bigger my urge is to lash out. Is this part of being an Evolved?"

Wesley looked up, his calm look alarmed for the moment, "They don't allow you to practice enough? That isn't safe! Yes, that's natural. I could give you essays and theories about it. I can not fathom a trainer not knowing and carefully considering such things. You need to be able to use your abilities. You have no safe place?" He frowned, already in thought now about what could be done about that.

"Well..." Erol began scratching the back of his neck. "I have a place back at home. Away from people and businesses... only my manager knows about it. I go there to unleash the urges but other than scheduled training in the facilities or missions, I'm not allowed to use them. Not even if I'm justified." He looked away noting a window as he saw clouds dancing by.
"Lately it doesn't matter though. If I'm aggitated enough my powers will release with or without my consent." He looked back to Wesley. "I thought maybe if I get a hamper on my aggrivations and annoyances then it would go away. But even without the aggrivation the slightest inkling of excitment and some stray wave is unleashed into unsuspecting buildings and people. I guess that's why I wanted to see you." He looked serious enough but his discomfort was on his face. "I want to be able to control these urges."

Wesley nodded, "Of course you do, and of course I will see what can be done. Powers cannot simply be locked away and pulled out whenever we want to use them. They are a part of us, and we can not deny who we are. It's foolish to do otherwise, though the world would have us think differently. How are you at controlling your abilities when you are calm? That first must be mastered before you can think of controlling them when they make their own appearances."
