Unless Kira's manipulation of electricity allows her to reduce the temp enough to cool it. If she could rapidly induce fusion then reduce heat quickly then she could meld the two halves without slagging. Slagging is usually the result of bursts of oxygen forced onto the surface (torch cutters beware!) or if the heat was allowed to continuously melt the metal into a liquefied mess. She, like anyone, is a conductor so the electricity could dissipate through her to the ground. Ionizing the air is what causes the lighting since it is the ionized particles that are conductive. This is why electricity can't fly out of a receptacle and hit you, non-ionized air is not conducive. So if Kira can create lightning then she is essentially ionizing the air, if she can do that then she can certainly deionize it. It's all really dependent on whether or not she can control the power of the lightning (increase or decrease its properties) or if she can only produce one "setting" per burst. Theoretically speaking, science allows for her to do as she did even though science also makes it impossible for us ordinary humans to create and/or manipulate electricity the way she does.
