Sparks | A NeonxReader story

Chapter 16

Y/N P.O.V.:

Today I was supposed to go with Neon's dad to demonstrate my capabilities with the sword he apparently made for me. Neon decided to come along for whatever reason, but I didn't mind. We drove to some laboratory that looked really nice and fancy. 

"This is the place! Here we can test radiants and make them gear that suits their personal needs", her father said. It was like a really nice and expensive version of what Killjoy did way back when I first got into Valorant. 

He took us to some lab where lots of people seemed to be working. 

"Please allow us to put some things on you and your weapon, it will allow us to measure the efficiency of your powers with the sword, and also if the weapon is restricting you at all", he said. 

"Okay", I said. They then proceeded to attach a whole bunch of wires and things to my sword and to my body. It was pretty uncomfortable, but I guess that was just the way it was. 

After they strapped all the wires and things on me, they took my to a massive room, that looked like it had a bunch of targets. They shut the door and looked at me through the bulletproof glass. 

"So just go ahead and give it everything you've got, and try to use your abilities as much as possible against these targets. It will give us the most accurate measurements", he dad said. 

She and her dad both watched me through the windows, and I kind of felt like I was under a bit of pressure with everyone watching me, and all this stuff on me, but I guess I'll give it a go. 

I didn't hold back, if anything I overdid it, because within a few minutes, all of the targets were obliterated, and the room that I was in had cuts and things through the floor and walls. 

I walked back into the room and Neon had a smile on her face while her dad looked ecstatic. 

"That was incredible! I've never seen such elegance in such ruthless attacks before", he said. I guess I put up quite a show. 

"Still as impressive as always", Neon commented. 

"Now all we have to do is wait for the results to come back, so in the meantime", he looked at Neon.

"Lets see how well your surge protector still works, I was told that it broke a few months ago", he said. 

"Yeah, for sure", she said. They then strapped a few things to her, and sent her in the same room. 

"Y'know its kinda hard for me to work when the room has already been destroyed, so thanks Y/N", she said sarcastically. 

"He told me to go all out", I said back from behind the glass. She scoffed in response, but I could tell she was being more playful than serious. 

I watched as she went to work on the targets, her powers were almost rarely used to her best, for some unknown reason to me. I understood not going all out in some cases, because I never have, I don't know what my possibilities where because I was always too scared to find out. 

All of the sudden, something happened, the screen that was monitoring her started to blink red and an alarm sounded. That was never good, and her father seemed to be worried as well. 

"What's that?", I asked. 

"Nothing good, her surge protector is overloading, it can't sustain her electricity. It appears she has gotten much stronger since I made it, and it doesn't seem to be enough", he said, worried. 

'Overloading? That couldn't be good, and she was still in there unaware of what was happening' I thought. 

"Tala! Tala you need to stop! Your surge protector can't handle it!", he said trying to get her attention, but he can't.
