Worm Power Quest by JPublic

Lockers in a school aren't that sturdy so it should be plausible that in a sufficiently panicked state a teenaged girl can break a locker open from the inside

I was wary about the...directness of Hazard's suggestion until I read this. This makes a hell of a lot of sense - at least in my high school, we had...issues...when kids realised they could ignore the locks and just rip doors open. A school locker can be pretty flimsy.

We don't know what's going on outside the locker - whether it's an empty hallway or packed with other students. Walking through walls, teleportation, all that would be an obvious outing of a parahuman. Kicking the door open isn't, necessarily, unless her kick sends the locker door flying like a missile or something or bits of metal box exploding in all directions like a supernova. But the level of strength used could be helpfully calibrated by magic helpful shard fairy to be just enough, just the amount necessary, rather than WORLD OF CARDBOARD OVER 9000.

Master powers are inherently risky in meta terms. A thinker power to let Taylor come up with a better solution would have been my personal suggestion, but then Jpub's initial intro states thinker powers are literally headache-inducing unless it's a combat situation, and I don't know if the Classical Worm Locker counts as "combat" - I'd say no, seeing as how Jpub's likely made that call to limit thinker bullshit.

All of this is an overly spammy post to say:
