"It happened to me once," Coop tells her, catching a drip of ice cream before it manages to slip all the way down the cone, and he glances at her before shifting his gaze back to the ocean. "That cruise last year, after the boat exploded, we all ended up on this island, right? All these people were hurt. They were crying and bleeding and begging for someone to help, and I've got the power to heal, even if it's not all the way, and what can't I do? Fucking heal."
It'd been a hell of a blow, and he remembers what Joel had said in his pained stupor about feeling like he was missing a limb because his magic was gone, too, and Coop sighs. "So it's not the same thing, but I kind of get it. Relying on powers to get you through certain things and not having them when you feel like you need them most, I get that. And I don't know who the hell would mess with you like this, but I promise you we'll figure it out. I'm very well known for keeping my promises."
He pauses because he's not sure that's actually true but at the very least, he's definitely not known for breaking them.
"Anyway, I'm well known for following through when I say I want to help my friends. You ever feel like you need someone to back you up in the meantime, you can always call me. I know you've got Caden, but you've got me, too. Don't forget that." He takes another lick of his ice cream before shifting to face her more, leaning his elbow against the rail. "Okay, so first thing's first, I guess. Have you pissed anyone off lately who'd want to take your powers?"
