It was a quiet afternoon. There was no sun, just pale gray clouds covering the whole sky. There was no wind either, making it muggy. One could tell a storm was soon to come, as there were distant rumbles of thunder out in the distance.
Courtney sat on the bench, staring out to the lake shore. The families who were still there were cleaning up, as the weather had changed from a sunny morning to a gloomy afternoon. She let out a sigh, as the weather seemed to reflect her mood at the moment. She was sad, she felt somewhat cursed with her powers, but she also knew they were a gift is she used them right.
Courtney thought she would sit at the bench for a couple of minutes, before heading home. She decided she would stop somewhere to get food on the way home too, as she heard her stomach growl. Staring at the sky for a few minutes, she realized this weather was calming, and very peaceful. She used her hands and blew a breeze around with her fingers, rustling up a few leaves. Okay, i'm leaving Courtney thought to herself as rumble of thunder sounded above her.

Raeanne walked slowly, ignoring the rumbling thunder booming around her. Her head was hung down, and she stared at the ground while she walked, searching for a quarter or anything. Then, she stopped. Her head slowly rose, and beautiful emerald eyes, half covered with black hair tipped in white, saw what looked like a girl. All alone.
Raeanne smiled and walked towards the girl. But she couldn't just come up and start talking like she new the girl. She needed a plan. Raeanne looked around until she found a peice of paper, clearly out of sight of the other girl. She focused on it, and it whipped into the air and flew into the girl's face.
"Oh! I'm sorry, my paper flew out of my hands! Are you okay?" she asked, satisfied. |

As Courtney headed for the bus stop, she noticed someone else in the distance. Who would come out here when there's a storm rolling in? she asked herself. Of course, it wasn't really her business, and she shrugged it off.
That was until, a piece of paper fluttered into her face. Not wanting to use her powers to simply blow it off, she pushed it off her face gently. She then heard the stranger ask is she was alright. "I'm fine, a little piece of paper couldn't hurt much" she tried to say sounding as nice as she could. "So, what are you doing out here? There's a storm coming after all"

Raeanne kept a smile on her face. "Well, I was just out walking and looking around. Storms don't hurt me." She looked as the girl was going to get on a bus. "You want to go inside and we can talk more?" she asked. She didn't want to make a friend. She was bored, had nothing else to do. And she could be able to play with this girl.
And Raeanne was always curious as to who was a civilian, or who was different.

Storms don't hurt her? Is she a super? Courtney thought. She tried to not think about it that much, as she might just be saying she enjoys them or something. "Uh, sure. I only have enough change for myself though" she told the stranger. She still didn't feel comfortable with whoever this person was, as they just met unexpectedly at a park. She didn't even know the strangers name. But then again, Courtney thought she was just being nice and polite, inviting her to chat and maybe even become friends. She started slowly walking to the bus stop as she could she the bus approaching in the distance.

Raeanne nodded. "I have some change." Even if she didn't, she could just transport herself onto the bus. If no one was looking. Raeanne looked at the girl. "So, whats your name?"
Raeanne knew the girl would be uncomfortable telling her name, so Raeanne immediately added, "I'm Raeanne." Raeanne looked at the bus coming for the bus stop and put her left hand into her pocket to fish out a few quarters. As she did so, her sleeve stretched away from her shoulder to reveal a skull tatto plainly eteched into her skin.
As she took her the money out, the sleeve covered it once again. |

"Okay, thats good" Courtney replied, glad she could have someone to talk to on the bus. She sat down at the bus stop bench, motioning for the girl to sit and wait next to her. Wow, I might actually get to know someone she thought to herself.
"My name? It's Courtney" she responded a little shyly. The girl then told her own name, which was Raeanne."That's a nice name" Courtney complimented. The bus soon pulled up to the stop, and Courtney stood up. As she walked to the buses open door, she looked back to see Raeanne getting her change. Is that a tattoo? Courtney saw some kind of marking on the girls arm, but forgot about it quickly as she got onto the bus.

Raeanne smiled. "Thankyou. I chose it myself. I like Courtney. It doesn't seem overused." She kept looking at Courtney as the bus arrived. She climbed in after Courtney and put her change into the slot.
"Where shall we sit?" she asked, looking around for an available seat. There were quite a few but she would let her new aqquaintence choose. Usually, Raeanne would be in full control, but right now she felt kind of tired, so she layed back. She needed to find out who this 'Courtney' was. |

Matthias put his hood down and "saw" that the two just met and were looking for a seat. " Y'all can sit here" said Matthias and got up from his seat and offered the seat to the two and he concentrated is "radar" and said "Courtney, Raeanne it is the best seat in the bus and before you start accusing me of reading your minds i merely felt what you just said because you are both still taking in the names" and Matthias' started clouding again so he put on his sunglasses and decided to just sit in the seat beside the one that he offered to the girls.

Raeanne smiled. "Well aren't you just a gentleman?" shr said, knowing that the man could not see. "You are very generous." Raeanne sat in the seat, and stared at Matthias. She removed her gaze and focused on Courtney.
((Okay, now we wait for Syd))

Chose her name herself...? Courtney didn't really understand it but it wasn't any of her business. She looked around for a seat, seeing some near the middle of the bus that were opened. As she was about to tell Raeanne about the seats, they were interrupted by a young man. He seemed to be offering them his set. Even though the bus isn't full.... But the boy spoke again. "Courtney, Raeanne it is the best seat in the bus and before you start accusing me of reading your minds i merely felt what you just said because you are both still taking in the names" Courtney made a confused face. What the... how does he know..? He must be a super! Courtney went up to the boy and confronted him. Courtney somewhat... lost it. "Don't you know your not supposed to talk about powers out loud! Your gonna get caught, and your not gonna like it! Either that you are stalking us!" Courtney then tried to calm herself down and turned to Raeanne.

" I have thought of that but i talk about them when i am around other people like me..and I take this bus all the time and no one gets on really" chuckled Matthias"Anyways i can always play the blind kid card"and he "looked" out the window of the bus and "saw" that the storm was getting closer and he was looking forward for the challenge of it.
"So i have nothing to worry about anyway i have been keeping it a secret since birth so i have a long time of practice on my side" said Matthias" And you know Raeanne you seem the most unfazed by all this so what do you think of all this" he asked

Raeanne smiled and shrugged. "Well, I myself don't really care about the whole secret thing. It would make those humans more afraid." she said calmly to the boy. She looked at Courtney, "You agree?" she asked, knkowing that the girl most likely wouldn't.

"Well boy, you might as well risk yourself. You at your young age are something the government would like to test. After all your powers are still growing." Courtney gave him one last mean look before choosing to sit away from him at the back of the bus. They don't know how evil those people are. Jealous of your powers, wanting to use them for your own good. She motioned fore Raeanne to come sit by her, trying not to think about what just happened.
Courtney remembered it clearly. Being put to sleep and waking up in a cold room, strapped to a desk. Various tools and objects she didn't recognize all around her. It was a bad thought, one she always tried to forget. She shook her head and cleared her mind, thinking back to what was going on now.
"Well, I myself don't really care about the whole secret thing. It would make those humans more afraid." Courtney tried to ignore her new friend's comment. "Well, i'm not going to risk anything." After all what had happened to her had made her turn into a shy and gloomy person. It was opposite as she was before. Happy and carefree. But as Courtney's stomach rumbled again, reminding her that she had gotten on the bus to go find something to eat.

Matthias felt a huge wave of emotion coming from Courtney and knew no to ask about it and said"I know that i am young and i know about my powers as well and that is one of the reasons i am looking forward to this storm" and he sent reassuring feeling to her hoping that she would get it.
"You see last time there was a huge storm i used my power to try and block the lightning and right before it ended i was hit by a bolt of it.I took three months to heal but it messed up my leg nerves so i have to shock it to get the signals to work sometimes." and Matthias he felt the storm closing in so he told the bus driver to go on ahead and start moving because no one else was coming
