[Elaine had woken up half an hour or so after having dissolved the Major's mustard gas, with a splitting headache that was so painful she couldn't move for a few seconds. Once she had recovered slightly, she had stumbled all the way back to her room, where she fell down on the bed with the sole intent of going to sleep. Not that she needed to sleep or eat for that matter, but she only thought that she did. And even if she knew she didn't have to, she still would, just to maintain that human element she treasures so much.]
[So she was about to finally drift off into peaceful slumber when she hears a knock. It takes her a second to realize that it's not coming from the door, but from the window, and there's only one person that could be. So Elaine had gone flying with Angel, instead of sleeping, because she seriously can't say no.]
[And afterward she felt great. Maybe it was the fresh air or the good company, but her mind was clearer and she could actually think properly (like I said, she doesn't actually need sleep). So after saying goodbye to Angel, Elaine had plopped down onto the floor of her room, tossing up a rock that she had taken from the gardens.]
[This is where the video catches her, staring intently at the rock as it hovers and begins to form a crack through the middle. There's a grin on her face because she's actually managing to use some of her power without killing herself, and she's swept up in a moment of elation as the rock finally breaks neatly into two. Her happiness fades instantly as the bed behind the rock follows suit. Then the wall behind the bed.]
[Oh shit.]
[Fortunately for her the damage stops before it reaches anyone's room, and she lets out a sigh of relief before falling onto her back in a dejected and defeated manner.]
