[INDENT][INDENT]Staring at Whitney blankly, Aiden blinked twice as he tried to process what she had just said. Everything in the last few minutes had happened so quickly it had given Aiden little time to fully process exactly what had transpired over the last couple moments. But Aiden was far more inclined to believe in divine intervention than he was to somehow swallow that he, Aiden Roth had manipulated electricity. Reaching out a sturdy arm, Aiden helped guide the trembling girl to a window ledge as Whitney stated her need to sit down. Rubbing his forehead, Aiden ran a frustrated hand through his hair as Chester finally broke the few moments of silence. 

[color=indianred][b]"Y'know."[/b][/color] He began, looking from Aiden to Whitney and then back to Aiden again. [color=indianred][b]"It's not impossible that you stimulated the latent static in the air to create an electromagnetic charge. Although how you would have done so escapes me."[/b][/color] Chester said as his voice trailed off into a mutter. Perhaps it was because he had read one too many comic books, or perhaps it was because Chester was comfortable with massive leaps in logic that the next few sentences came out of his mouth.

[color=indianred][b]"I think this has to do with why the two of you are the only survivors from last night. There's something different about each of you, and while I've only known you both for a day, I can't say for certain if this is the first time that anything like this has happened. Entertaining the idea that it is, there's two possibilities. One, the two of you have some sort of symbiotic relationship where proximity to the other brings out the potential in each other. Two, whatever drug or toxin the punch was spiked with, reacted with your latent genetic potential, bringing forth something new neither of you expected."[/b][/color] Chester stated waiting a moment for Aiden to catch up.

[color=steelblue][b]"I can say for certain, that nothing like this has ever happened to me. But since waking up this morning, I've felt different. I've felt like metal is drawn to my hand, like I'm constantly buzzing and a strange [i]tingly[/i] sensation has been washing over me all day. Especially when I'm close to Whitney."[/b][/color] Aiden added as he slowly processed Chester's words and began to formulate his own thoughts.

Opening his mouth to reply, Chester's jaw hung in the air for a split second as he paused at Aiden's final statement before shaking his head.

[color=indianred][b]"I'm going to ignore that last part, but the rest does sound interesting."[/b][/color] Chester replied before turning his full attention to Whitney. [color=indianred][b]"What about you, anything different, anything really out of the ordinary since you woke up?"[/b][/color][/INDENT][/INDENT]
