[quote=Caits] Connor sat down gently beside Kijani, listening as she spoke. "It's not stupid to have nightmares." He said softly "nightmares are very much real. Yes, the come from your imagination, from your fear...but maybe in some way they are real. Especially in a school like this. There has to be some side effects of living here, with so many people with powers." He sighed "there's nothing wrong with feeling fear. But you have to talk about it, or it will just get worse and worse. There is nothing wrong with having nightmares. one out of every two adults has nightmares on occasion." He fel as if he couldn't comfort her, so he slowly fell silent, wishing he could just make everything better [/quote] Kijani laughed and shook her head. Quietly, she leaned against Connor, pressing her cheek against his chest. "Talk about it, huh?" She let out a breath of a sigh, and just started talking, before she could psych herself out of it. "I was in a dark place. I was naked, and there were lights on me. They were so bright that they burned. I couldn't move." She flinched and clutched her side. The scar pain was flaring up just thinking about it. "I saw my parents, and my grandmother, and Anthony, and you... One by one you walked away. None of you wanted to help me, even though I begged." She shut her eyes, starting to tremble. "It was clear that I was alone, and no one cared, and I was going to die by myself, in pain..." [quote=Eviledd1984] Nicholas slowly took the notepad form his hand taking a quick look at the names of the people on the notepad,He found a few good subjects but the question was would the school allow such things."I don't think the teachers nor the students would want me to do my little experiments on them...so i would have to find some way to conceal my work form any prying eyes" He put the syringe down on the table beside the rat cage. [/quote] Devika peeked at the notepad as well. If Nicholas was really going to experiment on people without their knowledge, that really wasn't okay. There had to be some way to stop him without tipping him off... "I'll do it." The words were out of her mouth before she really thought it through. Once they were in the open, though, it made sense. "I mean, I deal with emotions on a daily basis. Mine, others... I would probably be able to take a lot more than anyone else. I'm also good at calming myself down, just in case things go south. If you're looking to make your fear gas really potent, it'd have to be strong enough to take me out." She grinned, a touch of pride in her eyes. "Good luck with that."
