She could keep control, as her mental commands totally override any but the most willful recipients, or let them take the reins, depending on the situation. (She'd keep control to 'fly' an unconscious person down from a high place, for instance, but might let a friend have control as he flies with her, and keep him close enough to recharge the air, and allow him to keep flying as long as he stays close enough to her, or swings by to 'refuel' periodically. I'd be okay with the duration being like Rogue's, 1 second of touch equals 60 seconds of flight before the charged air runs out, with a maximum practical limit of her holding someone's hand for a minute and giving them the power to fly for an hour.)

The development of this power would come with other effects from the air, like being able to maintain the bubble even under attempted infiltration from poison gas, or underwater! And then, she'd experiment with Crosta perhaps, and learn that she can psionically charge *water* as well, and allow herself to swim at incredible speed, like a human torpedo, and even to *breathe* the charged water (and keep it agitated and warm in the chilly deep, and the water pressure around her comfortable for surface dwellers!), opening up a whole new aspect to her powers, and a whole new world to explore. And once she expands this development to others, she can bring her friends with her, again, by surrounding them with these sheaths of psionically-charged water, allowing them to adventure under the sea with her in their own life-support/mobility bubbles.

All just building off of the words 'flight aura' and extrapolating from the psionic-based powers common among mutantkind. Nothing crazy like Gabriel Summers mutant power to do pretty much anything, but still more flexible than 'has a big chicken beak.'

There's a lot I like about that sort of stuff. I particularly like your ideas about Hindsight, since combat uses of pre or post-cognition are super-fun.

'Hey, here's Hawkeye's old bow, and now I vividly remember every move he's ever made with it, and I'm like Taskmaster, if he was *awesome.*'

'I held my sister's hand through the thirty hour birth of my nephew, and psychically shared some of the trauma of that. Here it is, all for you, all thirty hours of labor compressed into thirty seconds, just for you Mr. Manly Villain. Now who's 'screaming like a girl, huh?''
I like all of these ideas Aero being able to psionically affect air in her proximity would be very cool. She could even make gusts of wind while flying at high speed by moving the air the right way, and giving other people limited flight could make for a great power in rescue missions.

And I'd die if they gave Hindsight this kind of power. He'd be an amazing short-distance fighter.
