"W-Waah?!" Hitomi let out in surprise as she recoiled slightly, staring at her forearm in confusion. "...What... is that thing?"

"The Starbrand." Henrietta said. "It's basically a zero-point energy collector capable of unlimited power." She explained. "It also needs sentient will to keep from going out of control... So I passed it onto you since you were James' lover you could be trusted with it." She said. "I'd have put it on myself, but... My patron dieties tend to get upset when I weild cosmic objects." She said.

"Un... unlimited power? ...Holy cow", she stammered. "That's... that's a very high responsibility..."

"I know." Henrietta said smiling. "I was gonna give it to one of my daughters, but they'd probably do bad things with it, and fight over it."

"...Yeah, that's... probably true", she admitted, judging from her first interaction with the twins. "Well, I guess I'll... get used to it? ...And try to be careful about using it", she pondered out loud. "James can probably help me with it."

Henrietta nodded. "Thats a good idea."

(OOC: Speaking of which, I should be able to finish statting up the Star Brand tonight.)
Hitomi
"Yeah... yeah", she said thoughtfully, still processing what had just happened. "Is... is anyone else in your family as strong as this, um, Star Brand makes me? ...It... seemed to me that the Howlets in general are all... very strong, right?"

"Yes very much so... In fact all three of my sons have a reality warping artifact." She said.

"Really?! ...Oh, that's quite a relief!" she said, sighing. "It would feel weird if I was the only one here with such a thing. Speaking of whom... where is James? Is he up yet?"

"He should be in the backtard training." Henrietta said.

"Hm. That's... actually perfect", the brunette pondered, before heading out to join him. "Thanks!"

You find James in just his shorts, and boots repeatedly kicking steel beams each kick leaving a massive dent in the thick steel.

She blushed at the sight, still amazed by his strength even though she herself was a lot stronger since training with him than she had ever been before. And of course, shirtless James was certainly not an unpleasant sight to look at either.
She walked up to him. "...Hey. How's the training going?"

"I've been slacking off." He lamented. "Usually I can slice the beams in two with my legs." He admitted. "I'm gonna have to take things up a notch." He said. "Oh cool... You got the star brand?" He asked laying on his back. "Do me a solid. Lay across my feet, and increase your weight as much as possible."

Hitomi
She blinked, hesitating.
"As... much as possible? ...I... I mean, I'd love to help, but... I don't think there's actually an upper limit to the 'as possible'** part if I charge it up long enough. And... even if I only do it as much as I can in an instant, we're still talking about nearly half a billion tons of weight, are you sure it's going to... be okay?"
She paused for a moment, as she realized she had just calculated that in an instant. "...Wait. The Brand actually makes me smarter, too?"
