Casper didn't usually find himself comfortable around others like this but due to the vast amount of change in his life, perhaps something clicked over in the boy's mind. He didn't have anything against Aiden and the thought of spending more time with him wasn't terribly uninviting. Though, Casper didn't want to get any new attachments this early on. Part of him thought it a bad idea to grow this close to Freya after such a short amount of time, despite her being his sister. Was there something which drew Casper closer to the other boy? A desire to settle down in this new world he called home? Was it something simpler such as the desire to have a friend in the unknown? Either way, Aiden possessed an aura of harmony and serenity which could soothe even the most savage of hearts. Perhaps that was his mutation? The ability to appear appealing to those around him? It brought words to thought. [color=00aeef]"What's your power...?"[/color] [color=aba000]"Huh? Oh, I can heal people."[/color] Aiden responded, his bright smile quite enchanting under the strong lights above them. [color=00aeef]"So...ya' could heal my arm...?"[/color] A question based mostly on curiosity. Casper wasn't very eager to have a random mutant he just met use whatever power he had on Casper's wounded limb. [color=aba000]"Yup, I could heal it right up. Using my powers without permission is a big mistake, though. I can heal you if you'd like but a lot of people think its weird so I don't really offer it anymore."[/color] The taller boy shrugged slightly, turning his eyes to many of the other students for a brief moment before returning his eyes to Casper. [color=00aeef]"Oh, okay..."[/color] The pain was tolerable but the feeling of helplessness was high in might. What if Casper was attacked again? What could he do with only one arm? Sleeping was also a hassle with the wounds he had sustained. According to the doctor, Casper had also sustained internal damage from the fight but it was nothing that could be treated. It had to heal on its own. Its own...perhaps it didn't. Was he going to let Aiden heal him? They had some time before the teacher came so perhaps it was a good idea. Trying to weigh the pros and cons of the situation, Casper thought this through. If Aiden healed him, the wound would be gone and he'd be able to continue about his day without an issue, if Aiden didn't, Casper would have to live with the pain and inability to move his limb. Aiden could in fact be a crazed maniac who only pretended to be a healer and would utterly destroy the smaller boy with his touch, couldn't he? That seemed highly unlikely, though. [color=00aeef]"Alright..."[/color] Casper continued, looking up at Aiden who tilted his head curiously. If he could indeed heal the wounded, this was a good time to show it. [color=00aeef]"Ya' can heal me..."[/color] [color=aba000]"Alright, come closer."[/color] Reaching his hand out, Aiden carefully placed his palm on Casper's arm and closed his eyes. With a deep breath, he focused on the damaged tissue with a soft, barely noticeable glow emitting from the boy's hand. [color=00aeef][i]"This feeling...it's so...so warm..."[/i][/color] Casper couldn't help but watch with wide eyes as Aiden's power revealed itself. The pain was replaced by gentle warmth, the kind you felt in front of a fireplace on a cold winter night, and after a short while the boy felt nothing at all. He could move his fingers without pause and the pain in his side had completely vanished. Was this for real? Was Aiden truly able to just will the pain away, the hurt? [color=00aeef]"Th-that's fuckin' amazin'..."[/color] [color=aba000]"Thanks!"[/color] The taller boy smiled brightly with his hand gently patting Casper's shoulder. [color=aba000]"You're all better now."[/color] [color=00aeef]"The hell would anyone say no to that...?"[/color] Looking down on his knuckles, Casper removed the bandages and saw the smooth skin below. There wasn't a single hint of blood or any trace of damage left on his limb. How could anyone consider this power a danger? How could Quantum search for someone like this in a hostile manner? Aiden was a healer, a fucking doctor, why would anyone want to put him away for healing the sick? [color=aba000]"A lot of people find it disturbing."[/color] Aiden informed, slipping his hands into his pockets. [color=00aeef]"It felt warm..."[/color] Casper returned, his quiet voice breaking through the otherwise loud atmosphere on its way to the taller boy's ears. [color=aba000]"Hm, a good warm or a bad warm?"[/color] [color=00aeef]"A very good warm..."[/color] Casper finished, completely removing the bandages to see the undamaged tissue below. He wanted to say more, to compliment Aiden on his capabilities, but their conversation was cut short when a teacher joined the scene and shouted at some new arrival. A dress? No, a gown? Who was this woman? Out of nowhere, Casper and Aiden laid eyes on a person who could only have been dragged out of a television show. True, it was an Evo school and anything was possible in a location such as this but it was surprising nonetheless. She seemed lost, incredibly so, with an expression of disbelief on her face. This wasn't where she was supposed to be, and she knew that very well. [color=00aeef]"What the..."[/color] [color=aba000]"Maybe we should help her?"[/color] Aiden took a few steps forward in an attempt to approach the situation. Casper was close behind, equally curious as to what was taking place but they were caught off guard by her immediate stumble. Before they knew it, the woman fell forward. [color=00aeef][i]"All the grace of a fuckin' cat..."[/i][/color] Casper's thoughts quickly brought him forward in an attempt to catch her but as soon as she connected with the two boys, the trio vanished from the spot, leaving naught behind.
