Ty put all his force of will into changing himself back to a human being. He was more worried that he'd lost his power than what it would mean if he couldn't become his old self again. He concentrated as hard as he could, shaking with effort.
"Oh..." Jane whispered nervously, holding her breath. "Please. Come on. Please."
All at once, there was a sudden popping sound, and Ty's eyes shot open. In that instant, he grew just a little bigger in size. "Ohhh, wow." He gasped. "Okay."
"Are you all right?" Jane rushed towards him. "What's happened?"
"Hold on." He said softly. "I need to try again."
Jane nodded, stepped back, and stared with concern. Again, Ty gave it his all, and again it took all of his effort. Though more quickly there was another pop, and again Ty grew, but a little more this time. He took a deep breath, let it out, and looked at the smaller Jane and nodded. "It's okay."
She breathed a sigh of relief. "So what's going on?"
"I think..." Ty began, looking himself over, "that my power just might be a proportional thing. So if *I* shrink in size, so too do my abilities."
"Ohhh! I see!" Jane nodded, finally exhaling her total relief. "So it's still there. It just got smaller with the rest of you when you changed. Yes?"
"I think so!" Ty nodded back. "But I just want to be sure. If that's the case, I should be able to manipulate things my own size as easily as when I was big."
