*materializes again as a walking projection of himself, though on a mental level, he's still lifting that weight, the strain palpable as a slight trembling of effort*
You have it, Hellion. In your rightful joy and pride for who you are. In your friends, who love you not just when you're the only ones left and have no one else, but on a day that's how normal days should be, when there's nothing of importance, nothing that would bring you together except for yourselves. In the amazing things that you can do. That you can have in your life. You've had them and you've seen them just now, you know that they're there. But they're not here. You need to win them back, restore them to their proper place.
Perhaps not right now. Maybe you're not ready. And I promise that, until the day that I am forcibly torn from your side, I won't leave you here. And probably not even then. I'm rather notoriously difficult to be rid of.
But I believe that you can. Not everything right now. But the first step. I know that you can do it. Reach for it.
[he takes a breath, and then takes the weight off Charles.]
Give that here. You're not made for that kind of weight. You've got me all wrong though. I'm not afraid. I'm not the one doing this. This isn't me! This is what someone has done to me, she's still out there and I can guarantee you that you won't believe me. I don't even know if you're real or whether I'm imagining you.
*crouches down, pressing a palm flat against the ground beneath them, eyes closing in concentration, as he reaches deeper, beyond what the ground appears to be, to what it actually is*
[but yes, there's some, and there's a sizeable reservoir of power underneath. i'm sorry charles, this kid is scary powerful, even more so than he has any comprehension.]
...all right. I'm going to ask you for a promise. That you won't just wait until the time that you feel it's necessary. That if you are going to have this be an open part of you, you learn how to actually use it. What it actually is. Because this is... amazing. You don't know how amazing, you truly don't.

You don't have to carry it alone.
The ground that we're standing on right now. What is it? What's supporting you?

You're already helping me, even if you don't consciously know it. I can feel it. Come on. Come on.
