the next day, jaclyn was hanging out in front of the house, practicing a bit more with her powers and messing around with cass and AJ. the boys kept asking her to lift them off the ground and now with the rings, she was able to control the energy around them enough to do it without hurting them.
"jaclyn," sam starts in a warning tone as he ran around the corner and noticed AJ floating a few feet above the ground. he was somewhat out of breath from the run he just went on, and jaclyn grinned slightly, lowering AJ back to the ground.
"good run?" she asks, walking over to him. he nodded, still trying to catch his breath slightly.
"how are those rings working?" he asks, pointing to her hands as the gloves retracted back into the rings.
"they're good." she nods, her face faltering slightly. she didn't like that she had to use them, she wished she was able to control her powers without them. "the gloves get kinda itchy after a while, though." she adds, and sam let out a small laugh.
"then maybe you should take a break." he suggests, and she raised her eyebrows at him.
"are you planning to take a break anytime soon?" she asks him, and sam shrugged slightly.
"probably not." he admits.
"then neither am i." she nods surely and sam rolled his eyes at her. "the sooner i learn to control my powers with these, the sooner i can take them off." she reminds him, focusing the energy back into her hands.
"you won't be able to take them off until you learn to control your feelings." he corrects, looking at her seriously. "how's that part going?" he asks and jaclyn let out a sigh.
"not great." she admits. she had been able to sort out some of her feelings, but she kind of hated what she had figured out. she didn't want to have feelings for bucky, she wanted to get rid of them, but since he left all she wanted was to see him again.
"not great because you can't sort them out, or because you don't like what you found out?" sam questions, watching her closely.
"both." she admits, glancing down to her hands.
"any of this about bucky?" sam asks, making her head shoot up to look at him in surprise.
"what?" she asks quickly, and sam chuckled slightly.
"how many times do i gotta tell you? i know you, probably better than you know yourself." he says, still chuckling slightly.
"how did you figure it out?" she asks, not denying the claim. she avoided his eyes, awkwardly glancing around to see that the boys had gone back inside the house.
"i told you, it's not all anger in there." he says. "i've seen you angry, and it was nothing compared to how you act around buck." he continues, and jaclyn let out a sigh, looking back to him. "are you gonna tell him?"
