okay we’ve heard about chronically ill / disabled eddie but what about chronically ill / disabled volt.
volt, who stumbles with large power flickers and grips at his chest tightly. you can’t tell me he doesn’t feel those same pains in his chest during small surges, he’s just able to conceal the pain. he and eddie and have connection, so while the faulty wire mostly affects eddie, the more time passes the more it also affects volt.
volt, who gets migraines from getting too worked up therefore making electrical usage in the house go up. after an episode, he can feel it coming on like tendrils creeping around his body. the glowing of his eyes makes the pain even more unbearable that he had to start sleeping with an eye mask during this and eddie has to close the club and take care of him.
volt, who gets sick and drained during power outages where his hair is an inky black, hanging heavily on his shoulders and his eyes lose all shine, turning to a dull gray color like eddie’s but more flat without pupils. volt, who can barely move from bed when thunderstorms knock out the power and takes days for him to recover afterwards especially if there are several outages over the course of a few days.
volt who will try to keep the power going, causing the flickering in your home and several large surges to happen, the power going off momentarily before coming back on and repeating a few times, before collapsing. he’s panting and tears burn down his face as darkness surrounding him and he realizes he couldn’t hold it together.
