...Ha... yeah, no kidding. Life never went according to plan even when I didn't have powers. Why would now be any different?

[It's a depressing truth, admittedly, but trying to deny it would just make it worse. He just... has to figure out how to prevent it from happening, that's all. Figure out how it happened in the first place, while he's at it.]

Is there... some kind of spell that could protect someone against mind control?
