(First off, you guys can make this a fight scene or anything if you want to know how my powers work, but I'll try to use this post to try and demonstrate them.)
James West strolled through New York City at night with a sigh. "Finally. One step closer to reaching my goal.", he said happily. He was glad that the Big Apple's reputation was holding true; no one seemed to notice a young man walking down the sidewalk with a sword strapped to his back.
He turned into a McDonalds and turned his pockets out, only to find no money. "Darn it. Gotta get some cash.", he said. He spotted an ATM in the corner of the store and casually walked to it. He started at the screen as it gave him instructions he need not follow. At least, not directly. Machines were easy to fool, you just had to give them the information they needed. He easily faked the necessary identification and a bunch of 50s and 20s came into his grasp. With a grin, he put the money into his pocket and bought a simple cheeseburger and left. As he walked by the ATM, he rested a hand on it and felt the small spark as he absorbed the electric energy that powered to machine.
Feeling fully charged, he sat down on a bench and pulled out his laptop. He touched the laptop and charged the dead battery with the power he stole from the ATM machine. He looked at the sky, knowing at a ring of satellites floated overhead. He smiled as he knew that if he could train a little more, all that power would be his... for the good of man and mutantkind of course.
He turned the laptop on and was pleased to find a nearby Wi-Fi spot. He opened his browser and surfed the Internet for awhile, then stood and closed his laptop too. He started walking again, not really sure what he should do next.

(Sorry for the delay)
Whiplash was bored. A lot had been going on lately, and it seemed that the busy she was, the easier she got bored. She had finished sparring with Gust not too long ago... and decided to take a walk in attempts to calm the adrenaline coursing through her still. At least she had exerted enough energy in the spar so that her skin was no longer luminescent as it normally was when her adrenaline levels were high. But there was still a sparkle in her eye, a dangerous glimmer as the electricity was still burning hot in her system. Was she looking for a fight? Quite possibly. Or just something to do that will take her mind off fighting. Whichever worked.
She was wandering rather aimlessly down the sidewalk, not really caring where she was going or who she ran into. Of course, she was perfectly aware of all that was going on around her. It just became second nature to her after all these years. But that didn't mean she particularly cared. Pulling her coat a little tighter around herself, she glanced up at the sky above her, unable to see if there were clouds to the darkness of night. Please don't let it rain... That would really just be her luck.

As James was walking, he found himself about to plow into a young woman who obviously wasn't paying any attention. He stopped short and quickly prevented the collision. "Hey! What it, would you?!", he said with an uncharacteristic attitude. Some people just don't watch were they are going.
His made a fist and a current electricity visibly flowed down his arm. He sighed and unclenched his fist, knowing it would be unwise to openly show his mutant powers in public. Hopefully, the woman wouldn't see it. He didn't apologize for his unneccesary outburst, he just turned and began walking away.

A voice suddenly snapped at her, and Raven spun around to face the speaker, her hand instinctively moving to the wristband over her other wrist. She didn't unsnap it though, her sharp gaze focusing on him intently, the gold ring in her eyes shining brightly as she grit her teeth. "I'm not the one who almost ran into someone." She growled, instantly noticing the way his arm flickered with electricity. Any other person may have overlooked it... but electricity was one thing that Whiplash knew quite well. After all... a majority of her own body was made out of the stuff. She said nothing more, but watched him carefully, her eyes glittering in the darkness as she waited to see if he'd actually bother to back up his attitude.
