"They wanted to take my powers away... Some new technology called S.P.I.N. I won't let them... My powers make me... Me..."
"Jamie... You have to understand... You're not well... and your powers make you dangerous... Not just to them... to everyone and everything."
"Oh brother... You are so good at pretending to care." Jaime said. "But I see the truth... You are not my friend. You hated me... You were always against me!" He said manipulating some invisible strings, and causing the Captain to be blasted with an invisible canon of some kind sending him flying off the roof.

"They wanted to take my powers away... Some new technology called S.P.I.N. I won't let them... My powers make me... Me..."
"Jamie... You have to understand... You're not well... and your powers make you dangerous... Not just to them... to everyone and everything."
"Wait a second", Lucy said. "Taking his powers away isn't a good thing!... They are part of him, regardless how you look at it...", the blonde girl argued. "What they should be doing, is help heal his mind, and help him control his powers, not shut them off."
"Oh brother... You are so good at pretending to care. But I see the truth... You are not my friend. You hated me... You were always against me!"
Before Lucy had the time to say anything else, Britain got blasted off the roof in one shot. She gritted her teeth, but did her best to remain calm.
"Jaime... I do not read minds, not without a good reason anyway, so I don't know if your brother truly doesn't care. But even if he was a bad brother, he isn't a bad person, that much I've sensed in him. So please do not harm him. He simply fears what he doesn't understand, it's a normal human reaction. If you prefer to only deal with me about this, then just keep him out of the discussion. I can't say for him, but you know for me. You can see it in my heart. I am trying to protect the world, but I am also trying to help you. So please, cooperate with me. Let's get to the bottom of this without hurting anyone, your brother included. Alright?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maintaining my stones, this time to convince Jaime to leave his brother out of this and talk with me instead if he prefers that, rather than attacking him.

Jamie stops and turns to you. "Okay... I... I just need someone who understands me."

"And I'm trying to be that someone", the girl said with a smile. "I'm trying to understand the situation as best as I can, so please forgive me if I ask personal or annoying questions. But for starters, something simpler. What do you know about that S.P.I.N technology? ...Did they explain it to you before you left?"

"It's some type of nanomachines... When injected into someone they nullify their powers."

"Tch... something this invasive. They really don't get it", she let out, annoyed. "I disagree with this treatment as far as I am concerned. Your powers shouldn't be nullified unless you were actively trying to use them for evil. This isn't right."
She paused, reflecting upon how best to ask her questions to fully understand the situation.
"Jaime... this mental instability of yours, do you know if it simply happened because of the trauma of getting those incredible powers, thus causing them to flare out of control at times, or if the fact that they are out of control is what actually causes the instability? ...Knowing this could be a vital clue." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Renewing my stones again, this time to ask a sensitive question politely and in a way that won't annoy/anger him.

"I gained my powers while I was being tortured by criminals." Jamie said.

"I'm... sorry to hear that. Tch... as I suspected. Taking your powers away would do nothing to help you. The problem lies elsewhere..."
She nodded. "Jamie, you've heard about me, haven't you? You know about the legend of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table and my legendary sword, correct?"

"Yes of course." He said.

"Then behold... Excalibur. My most prized possession, my pride, my staunchest ally, and the architect behind so many of my victories...", she said, unsheathing the blade.
She admired the blade, and the hilt, weighing it, holding it, balancing it, as she had done so many times already in the past.
"...In all honesty, and while I am honor-bound to try all I can to help you, Jaime... I'm not Merlin, nor God. Mine are but the powers of a blessed knight on a holy mission... so my powers are limited. However... Excalibur's are far more powerful. It is a tool of the Gods, a weapon of pure good and order. If I have anything that might be able to help... then it is this sword. However... I won't use it on you without your permission. Do keep in mind that without it, however, I am powerless to help you. What say you?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7 stones into Statecraft (Charm, Etiquette, Resolute, King of Britain) to do my best at convinceing Jaime to let me try using Excalibur's powers on him to heal him of his insanity/lack of control.

"Do what you must... Even I can see I'm a danger with this illness."

"Very well. By the way... whether I succeed or not... be aware that this is going to take most of my energy away, because affecting one such as you even with Excalibur requires an exceptional amount of Prana. So... do not worry about me, I've seen worse", she said with a gentle smile, as she held Excalibur in her hands, its blade held towards the ground, its hilt on her heart as she prayed God to free the man from his madness, from his illness, and let him become the good person he seems to be beneath his insanity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trying to use the 'Destiny Force' ability of my Excalibur, emptying my Prana reserve entirely, in order to try to cure Jamie Braddock from his insanity and illness for good, to leave him a good man with control on his abilities.

In a mighty flash your prana is completely drained as Jamie falls to his knees. "I feel... Different..."

"Unnh..."
Lucy let out, falling to her knees as well, holding onto Excalibur for support.
"I feel... Different..."
"Y-You do...? How so?" She asked, rather weakly. "Did it work?"

"I think so... Here let me help." He says completely restoring your Mana.
