[color=mediumaquamarine][center][h1]Elena Reese and Jack Harper Los Angeles, California[/h1][/center][/color] Jack was sitting on his couch watching some tv when he heard a knock on the door. He turned off his tv and walked to the door. Just to be sure it was who he thought it was, he looked through the peep hole. It looked like she had gotten the note. He unlocked his door and opened it for Elena. [color=aqua]"Hey, I'm glad to see you, come in and have a seat if you'd like"[/color] he said with an upbeat tone. After today she would be the only person on the planet to know his secret. Elena stood in front of the door for a few seconds, before finally the door opened and smiled slightly at Jack. [color=lightgreen]"Thank you."[/color] Elena said as she took a step into his apartment and looked around, she was still very cautious about revealing her ability to him. She walked over and sat down on his couch looking over at Jack. [color=lightgreen]"So what would you like to know about me and my ability?"[/color] Elena asked as she leaned back into the seat. Jack sat down halfway between her and the end of the couch so that he didn't seem like he was sitting too close. [color=aqua]"Well I was curious about what you can do. Everyone in the apartment complex knows you're an evolved human. So firstly I would like to know what your ability is. If you don't mind of course."[/color] Jack was eager to learn what kind of ability she possessed. Elena ran a hand through her hair and looked at Jack for a moment, she could tell that he was just genuinely curious. [color=lightgreen]"Alright then."[/color] Elena said softly as she extended her hand out forward and closed her eyes for a few seconds as she concentrated, then an arc of electricty left her finger tips as the lights around Jack's apartment started flickering and then it quickly stopped. [color=lightgreen]"I basically can create and manipulate electricty or anything that has an electric current."[/color] [color=aqua]"How absolutely remarkable. Won't you get in trouble using your power though? Either way I'm glad to have seen it. There is so much potential in your ability. Seeing your ability has given me the courage to tell you something that no one else in the world knows about myself. I too am an evo Elena. That's why I asked to talk with you."[/color] He paused giving a moment for that little bit of information to settle in. [color=lightgreen]"I wont unless you have cameras bugged around here or something or you go and report me, as long as no one doesnt see me use it I should be fine."[/color] Elena answered Jack, then she raised her eyebrows slightly, she hadnt met another evo herself aside from the various news stories going around. [color=lightgreen]"Well since I did my show and tell, why dont you show me then?"[/color] Elena asked leaning forward her interest peaked even more. [color=aqua]"Fair enough"[/color] Jack said with a slight chuckle. [color=aqua]"It's a little hard to demonstrate, but it's biological manipulation."[/color] Jack held his hand out then thought about a way he could demonstrate his ability. [color=aqua]"This may be slightly creepy but this is the only way to really show you."[/color] with that being said he shot out 4 small spikes of solidified blood [color=aqua]"like the name suggests I can manipulate anything that's biological. That's a more gruesome use of my power. I used this ability to fool the quantum industries testing by altering my own DNA. I can heal by manipulating the speed of mitosis in my body. There's so much I can do already and so much more I can achieve. But aside from you nobody knows thanks to my ID saying I'm a human."[/color] it was such a relief to finally have someone he didn't have to hide his ability from and lie to. Elena looked down at Jack's hand as he held it out and stared at it as four spikes of solidified blood came out of his hand and slightly shivered at the sight of it. But it looked like it was an exteremly useful ability. [color=lightgreen]"That is really useful you could go anywhere a regular person would without powers."[/color] Elena said looking at him and smiled she didnt feel lonely at all anymore now that there was someone who was also an evo in her apartment. [color=aqua]"It is helpful being able to fly under their radar. I just feel so bad for those who have to undergo their absurd rules and regulations. I should be under the same restrictions as any other evolved human. Actually if they would have found out I'm an evo I'm not sure I would ever see the light of day again. I must say it's quite a relief to have someone to talk to about this. Ever since they started the testing I've kept to myself, being as cautious as possible knowing my fate. I just wish there was something I could do to help other evolved humans such as you and I."[/color] he said with a slightly morose tone. All he ever wanted to do was be helpful and he couldn't figure out how he could help his own kind yet. [color=lightgreen]"Its good that you are using your ability to stay hidden, thats what I would do if I had something like yours."[/color] Elena leaned forward and looked at Jack. [color=lightgreen]"I think in time we would all eventually get along. These rules are ridiculous I cant even go out and enjoy a drink if I wanted."[/color] Elena sighed her eyes meeting his. [color=lightgreen]"Well I am happy to meet a fellow evo in my apartment."[/color] She looked down at her watch as she remembered and forgot about her lunch back at her own apartment. [color=lightgreen]"I better get going, if you want to come over sometime you know where I live."[/color] Elena said as she stood up from Jack's couch and headed out and down the hallway back to her own place. After she left he sat for a moment in silence and thought. While he was beginning to stare off into space he noticed a strand of hair that must have fallen while she was here. Why he noticed it he did not know, but his curiosity got the best of him. He picked up the strand of hair and began studying the very DNA of his new friend. Given enough time maybe he could unlock the secrets of her own powers...
