As her classmates filed out one by one, she remained in her seat, still struggling to keep the voices in her head down. But the more she tried thinking of other things, the more the malicious thoughts crept into her head. There was no denying it now. Her craving... no, her [i]need[/i] for destruction was making the voices become more persistent and louder. Her eyes flickered towards the screens that was replaying the recenly concluded battle. It was a wrong move. The moment she saw the violence, the more the voices became louder, filling her head entirely that she can no longer hear herself think. Or could she? Were the voices there because of her stigma? Or were they [i]her[/i] thoughts. She felt someone jab something at her and her eyes flew open. She looked at rifle poking her arm then at the guard who was holding it. [color f7976a]"Move it."[/color] Without arguing or really thinking about it, the blonde teen stood up and walked towards the door, where the last of her classmates was just walking through. No real point resisting... She stopped when she got to the door and glanced back at the guard who was standing just a few feet behind her, his rifle pointed at his back. [i]Provoke him,[/i] the voice in her head whispered. [color=lightcoral][i]W-what?[/i][/color] [i]Provoke him,[/i] the voice repeated. [i]And then hurt him.[/i] The guard glared at Lily and then gestured to the door with his rifle. For a moment, Lily almost gave in to what the voice in her head was saying, taking a step towards him. Just a small move to make him believe that she was threatening. Just a small move and that finger poised over the rifle's trigger would press down. And then... Lily's eyes widened when she heard a commotion outside. The voice strangely receded back into the small girl's chaotic mind as she turned and hurried out. What was happening? Was there another attack? Thoughts of her last real battle flashed through her head and in her distraction, she ran into a slightly taller girl with dark brown hair that was standing by the edge of the gathered students. Lily blinked. [color=lightcoral]'Oh! Uh... sorry."[/color] [hr]At last, it was time for them to go back. Getting up quickly, Sophia excited the room along with the majority of the students that were awake and responding to the guards' orders. The front of her clothes were still thoroughly soaked, and so the cooler night air made her shiver. For once it didn't take her long to decide that once the guards stopped escorting them and left them to their own devices, she would go to directly to her room and change. Along with getting a nice warm shower. Her thoughts began to wander as her legs mechanically brought her wherever the guards were beginning to escort them to. Not paying much attention to her surroundings, she jumped as a loud blaring rang through the air. Within seconds, guards surged forward, showing her exactly where the noise and trouble was coming from. Though the sound of the alarm was beginning to make her head ring, she strained to hear words through the commotion and was rewarded with a sentence or two before she clamped her hands over her ears. Someone had been ordered down. [color=BD892F][i]Is that... how a cuff alarm sounds?[/i][/color] Had one of the students tried to make trouble? She couldn't see anything through the circle of guards surrounding the small area, but there hadn't been any gunshots... yet. So that was a good thing? A jolt from behind caused her to jump and take her eyes off the scene. Removing her hands from her ears as she turned around, Sophia was just able to catch the words of the blonde girl who stood behind her. She recognized the girl as one of the healers, but that was all. It took Sophia a few seconds to respond, gazing at the face of the girl as she drew her mind from thoughts of the commotion. [color=BD892F]"No, don't worry about it."[/color] She frowned and, afraid she might not have been heard over the alarm, tried to raise her voice. [color=BD892F]"It's fine."[/color] Glancing from the circle of guards a little ways off and back again to the girl, she really didn't know what to do or say, so she just forced a smile. As soon as Lily heard the girl say that it was okay, she turned back to the commotion, curiosity getting the better of her. She stood on tiptoes but everyone was taller than her and she couldn't see anything. [color=lightcoral]"What's happening?"[/color] she asked, craning her neck. After a few seconds of trying, she sighed and then turned back to the girl she had bumped into. Upon closer look, it appeared that she was one of the healers from the second round of flag football, the one that hid under the bed. She scratched her head, wondering what kind of healing abilities she had. [color=lightcoral]"Oh, you're one of the healers from the second group,"[/color] she said, obviously unaware of what the girl's real powers were. Sophia didn't respond to the girl's question, watching her try to see over the heads in front of them, unsuccessfully. [color=BD892F][i]I can't see anything either.[/i][/color] She nodded at the girl's remark, before deciding to try and add a few words in. [color=BD892F]"Yeah. One of the,"[/color] she made air quotation marks with her hands, [color=BD892F]"healers."[/color] She exhaled sharply before continuing. [color=BD892F]"I don't actually... heal."[/color] Wait. Now that Sophia herself had brought up that she wasn't a healer, would the girl ask what her power was? She thought of her power, already beginning to organize what she was capable of into detailed sentences, just in case. [color=BD892F][i]-then the last thing I can do is see through stuff, basically x-ray vision. But as I said, I'm not very good yet, so I can't see through anything like rocks. More like water, cloth-[/i][/color] As if suddenly realizing something, Sophia's head snapped towards the circle of guards. X-ray vision. She couldn't see living things, but... the clothes... she could see clothes. If she tried to X-ray her surroundings... would it be possible for her to find out what was going on? [color=BD892F]"Maybe I could..."[/color] Though her lips could be seen moving, what she said was too quiet for anyone to hear over the alarm. [color=lightcoral]"Oh, you don't? Hmmm... come to think of it..."[/color] Lily thought back to the other healer from the second group... the tall, blonde boy. He had been destructive and fought hard not to be captured. No, he didn't seem like a healer as well. If he was, then he'd be called on to heal the injured. Yet, only that timid boy Christmas had been needed for the task. [color=lightcoral]"Well, what do you..."[/color] she was just about to ask about her powers when the brown haired girl turned her attention to the guards. Curious, she stepped nearer and then followed her gaze. [color=lightcoral]"You don't happen to have X-ray vision, do you?"[/color] It seemed like a silly question. But where they were, it wasn't really silly at all. The girl guessed correctly, surprising Sophia. How had she been able to tell? Of course, that was only one of the three types of sight Sophia had, but still. A little creepy. Biting her lip, she nodded then gestured towards the guards. [color=BD892F]"Do you... think I should?"[/color] Lily blinked. [color=lightcoral]"I was right? Seriously? That's so cool!"[/color] The idea of this girl having X-ray vision perked her up a bit. She looked towards the guards and then shrugged. [color=lightcoral]"Well, it'll be nice if you can find out what's all this fuss about. Or we can just walk away. Either way, I don't think we'll be able to do anything about it."[/color] What Sophia had been hoping for was a definite answer as to if she should use her power or not. But then, it was her choice to make, so she appreciated that the girl wasn't trying to push her into doing one thing or another. She did want to find out what was going on. [color=BD892F]"I think I'm going to."[/color] Concentrating on her power of X-ray vision, she activated her power. Showing that her power was now on, from each of Sophia's eyes came a faint white glow, and her eyes appeared unfocused. To her, the world was now shown in shades of gray. Everything seemed so strange now that it took her a few seconds to comprehend the things she was seeing around her. Everyone was gone, including the girl standing beside her, and all that remained to be seen of everyone was their clothing, floating in midair. In the darkest shades of gray were the objects that she could not see through, like the telephone pole and the floating guns that each guard had. The circle of guards was now a circle of clothing, depicted in a medium shade of gray. Through the layer of clothes that the guards were wearing, she could just see that there was another set of clothes of someone who seemed to be kneeling on the ground. The source of all the commotion. And near the figure on the ground, was the shape of what she recognized as a cuff that all the students had to wear. [color=BD892F][i]That person managed to take their cuff off? No wonder there's such a fuss.[/i][/color] That was amazing, but a little scary too. What kind of power did that person have to be able to slip a cuff so easily, without getting electrocuted in the process? Then, as she watched, something happened. One moment the person was there on the ground, and the next, the clothes seemed to slip into the dark gray ground... and vanish. She gasped, and her mind reeled. Where... how... had the person disappeared? Someone screamed. A woman, judging from the clothes, forced her way through the circle and knelt on the ground. A few seconds later, the alarm shut off. Still staring at the place where the person had disappeared, Sophia seemed to have forgotten about the girl beside her. She was even more confused than before. She had no idea what had just happened, all she knew was that it had been bad. Lily stared at the brown haired girl. She sort of expected some garish display of power, maybe something like how Superman does it while the camera showed everyone what he sees. It was a silly expectation but nevertheless, she was disappointed when the teen merely appeared to be staring into space. She was just about to reach out and touch the girl's arm when she heard a scream. Her head snapped towards where it came from but her sight, as always, was blocked by the multitude of tall people standing around. Being small has its advantages but this was definitely not one of them. And so, feeling bored again, Lily stood there and waited until the alarm shut off. But, by then, she was so bored and the voices in her head began whispering again that she huffed and walked away. Too absorbed in her own thoughts to notice the girl walking away, it took Frederic's orders to bring her back to the present on goings. Looking beside her, Sophia was surprised to see that the girl was no longer there. With a a twinge of guilt, she scanned her surroundings, trying to see if she could spot the girl. She probably would have wanted to know what Sophia had seen, and Sophia would have told her despite how disturbed she herself had been by it. But with her power on all Sophia could see were the different styles of clothes the people around her wore, and she couldn't remember what the girl had been wearing. She soon gave up and instead began to make the walk back to Building A. Maybe she would see the girl another time, but until then, what she still really wanted to do was return to her room. She now had even more to think over than before.
