"Then how did you trigger the ones you have used." Lois leant over the desk. "What's the commonality?"

Herbert scratched his head. "It took me a while to figure out but I have to think of and embrace the emotions, the beliefs, of the original holder. I have to empathise with them. That why my friend called it empathetic mimicry."

"Sure... erm, like my dad. I guess it's easier if I know them or have a bond of some sort. But with my dad, I kinda connect with his love for my mother; that's something I can share, soemthing I feel too." He decided to not talk about his father's anger of any of the other issues he brought out to replicate the ability.
"Look." He raised his hand and it sparked to life with electricity. He placed it on a light focused and the light started to increase in power, blowing brighter until he took his hand away and it turned off again. "Mundane use," he noted.

Lois wrote down a note on her notepad. "And that works for any super you have an emotional empathy to?"

Herbert shook his head. "Yes and no? It's not so much having empathy for them, though that makes it SO much easier and more instinctual, but it's more about my understanding them and being able to experience the same emotions they do in some way. So sorry, yeah, I guess it's empathy. I'm sorry, this is as much as I know now. That's why I'm here, hoping you can tell me more on a genetic level."

He started tapping his foot. "How long will it take? Should I come back later, or was there anything else you needed to know?" He smiled. "You didn't get superpowers did you? From Vertex?"

Lois stroked her hair behind her ear. "Well... that's another reason I wanted to see Olympus actually... get registered..."

Herbert raised an eyebrow. "You're a super? What powers do you have?!"

"That's cool," he told her. "So mind manipulation in a sense." He sat back. "Huh, if you had powers, why'd you need me to examine?"

"Well firstly I didn't want everyone knowing. It is illegal to not be registered. Secondly mine definitely was Vertex. You could have yours from birth."
