[Center][h1][u][Color=A52A2A]Bailey Collins[/color][/u][/h1] [img]http://i.imgur.com/oe5AJE1.jpg[/img] [U][I]Location[/i][/u] Pool [U][i]Interacting with[/i][/u] [@aquanthe] [@jinxer] [@omatur] --- [/center] [Color=A9A9A9] All the tension and soreness seemed to melt from Bailey's body as he clung to the side, his subconscious nestled deep into his own reality as he played out all the future's possibilities. Though despite his earlier uneasiness about Emma her image kept popping up as his mind wandered. The curve of her lips, the even better curve of her hips. [Color=A52A2A][I]'Stop that.'[/i][/color] his conscience would quip whenever Bailey let his mind wonder a bit too far. Not that he could help it, it was simply biology after all. Wasn't it? Bailey tried to squash the whole mess of things, wanting to bask in the moment instead of debating his own questionable morals. [Center][i][b]SPLASH[/b][/i][/center] The sound had caught him off guard. Had someone else joined him? Bailey opened his right eye only to be greeted with the smudge of colors and shapes of the world around him. [Color=A52A2A][i]'Oh yeah.'[/i][/color] it was easy to forget, with his glasses shapes were at least more definitive and his good eye filled in the rest for his brain to make sense out of. Closing his eyes he felt the gentle rocking of the waters as whoever else had joined swam behind him. He didn't feel the need to try to talk, they both of them probably after the same thing; a moments peace. [Center][i]"Good afternoon all! Firstly, congratulations on the successful completion of your first testing sessions!"[/i][/center] The irritatingly chipped voice jolted Bailey from his position,frowning at the ceiling as clapping clearly sounded through the intercom system, echoing loudly, [color=A52A2A]"How annoying."[/color] he commented out loud before the woman's syrupy voice chimed back in. [Center][i]"Tomorrow will be more of the same and we'll gradually ramp it up but first y'all need to rest up so the afternoon is yours! Oh, and there are a couple of new faces joining us today who took a bit longer to get here. If you see them make sure they feel at home."[/i][/center] [Color=A52A2A]"Jesus, how many [i]new[/i] are we going to get?"[/color] he frowned looking over at the other body in the pool. His gaze lingered a moment before it clicked that he was staring down at Sienna. Instantly Bailey's geeks flared to life as he settled to stare anywhere else but directly at the woman, [color=A52A2A]"So, uh, did you find your suit in your room? Cause I looked around here but I didn't see anything."[/color] He rambled into the open air, suddenly feeling the need to explain why he was in the water in his pants. Turning back away from Sienna, Bailey settled back down in the water. He wants sure if Sienna even wanted to talk with him, not that he would blame her. Lately he felt completely out of his element. Between his sudden illness, the surprise announcement of super powers and then that oddly intense physical; Bailey was mentally spent and he was sure most of the others were in the same boat. Footsteps echoed in the pool room as another patient came in. Bailey sunk a little lower, now even more aware of the fact he was sitting in the water in his pants. [Color=A52A2A][i]'Should've went back to your room first.'[/i][/color] his conscience chided. [B]"Oh sweet lord."[/b] The newcomer spoke, the familiar lilt of his accent making whining was glaringly obvious. Curious, Bailey looked up only for his jaw to drop in shock and awe. He watched as Arthur padded closer to the water, disbelief and awe written clearly across his face. [B]"Just to check,"[/b] be paused, looking over at the two of them, [b]"You guys can see this too, right?"[/b] His voice colored in wonder. Bailey's mouth open and closed like a fish as words faded away as he took in the sight of the double helix, watching as the water glistened in the mid air. His mind stammered, trying to make sense of what he saw. Was it Arthur? Maybe Sienna who was doing this? Bailey let go of the pool side and stared at his own hands, surely it wasn't him. He didn't feel like he was doing something but clearly; something was happening. He nodded confirmation to the man before climbing out of the water. His pants shifted down as water poured from the water laden fabric. No longer did Bailey feel weightless but awkwardly heavy and off kilter. [Color=A52A2A]"Holy shit man."[/color] he looked wide eyed at Arthur, laughing as his shock dissolved into wonder. [Color=A52A2A]"Like, holy hell."[/color] Bailey exclaimed as he looked over at Sienna, pushing his fingers through his wet locks. [Color=A52A2A][i]'Everyone needs to see this.'[/i][/color] Bailey's mind as racing at a mile a minute. He didn't even [i]know[/i] where the others were or how to find them. Should be just start yelling? Should they find a staff member? Bailey was frozen for a moment as he contemplated what to do next when a blurry figure drew his attention. [Color=A52A2A]"Hey!"[/color] he called out, moving haphazardly on the now set floor as he jogged towards the hallway, [color=A52A2A]"Bro, you got. You got to see this!"[/color] Bailey exclaimed as he ran out to face the young man. He didn't recognize him but Bailey didn't care at the moment. He just wanted people to see what he saw. Ignoring the confusion on the guys face Bailey reaches out and grabbed his wrist in his hand and pulled the stranger into the pool room. [B]"H-hey, what are you doing?!"[/b] Thomas bulked, immediately pulling away from the manic man but Bailey was quick to tighten his grasp as he pulled him in further, [b]"Man, let go of me! You're hurting my wrist!"[/b] he twisted in his grasp before glancing up at the floating body of water. [Color=A52A2A]"Please, tell me you see this!"[/color] Bailey questioned him with childlike wonder. Thomas looked over at him and the back to the helix, [b]"Yes, now will you let go of me?"[/b] Bailey started, quickly letting go the mans wrist with a sheepish grin. [Color=A52A2A]"Sorry, I got carried away there but I mean look at it!"[/color] he exclaimed proudly as Thomas rubbed his newly freed appendage. Bailey's eyes were trained on the water before him, consumed in his own excitement that he missed the worried look that painted across Thomas' face. [B]"Why can't I feel my wrist?"[/b] he remarked, looking up at Bailey with a scathing glare. Bailey's brows shot up in surprise. [Color=A52A2A][i]'Did I break it?'[/i][/color] he wondered before snatching the mans hand back. Surely he hadn't of broken it, Bailey wasn't that strong. [Color=A52A2A][I]'Unless I have super strength!'[/i][/color] he gasped but as he studied Thomas' hand it was clear there was no damage done. [B]"What the hell man, stop that!"[/b] he scolded, jerking away suddenly as he cradled his arm away from the stranger. [B]"What did you [i]do[/i]?!"[/b] he shot an accusatory glare at Bailey, [b]"I can't feel my hand...at all!?"[/b] Thomas flexed his fingers awkwardly, frustration furrowing his brow as his other hand poked and prodded the now numbed flesh. Bailey looked down at his own hands, quickly grasping his bare arm wondering if he had some numbing effect but nothing. His skin responded to his touch like normal. Again he pressed on another area but with the same results. [Color=A52A2A]"Huh."[/color] he mused out loud before glancing back up at Thomas. Without a word his hand shot out and touched his cheek. A moment of shock cell between him before Thomas slapped his hand away. [Color=A52A2A]"How does your cheek feel?"[/color] he inquired, his excitement barely contained. [B]"How does my cheek feel. How does it-"[/b] Thomas stopped mid-rant as his gently prodded his cheek. Stepped back from Bailey he answered, [b]"It's numb. What did you [i] do to me?![/i]"[/b] he shrieked. Bailey was thrilled, well beyond thrilled. His whole body humming with excitement as he happily proclaimed, [color=A52A2A]"I don't know!"[/color] before turning back to Arthur and Sienna, [color=A52A2A]"Guys! I made him numb!"[/color] a manic grin plastered across his face.[/color]
