Alan tilted his head at how nonchalant Lindy was being about her injuries. Either this girl had nerves of steel, or she was just really good at putting on an act. This only served to make him further suspicious of what was going on with her...of course, he could be overthinking this whole situation. How long did it usually take for morphine to be flushed from one's system again?

However, he was distracted from those thoughts by her question,"My glasses?" Instinctively, he felt around his face and, sure enough, they were still gone. For a moment, he was silent, thinking of how to explain this. What was he suppose to say? That he'd somehow managed to get corrective eye surgery in the midst of a flipping terrorist attack? Anybody in the know was aware that Alan and his Mom only had enough to make ends meet.

...But the young man knew in his heart that he couldn't lie his way out of a paper bag. As such, he let out a sigh before going to fetch a bottle of water for himself and some of his homemade cinnamon rolls which he set on a tray before his guest,"Lindy...what I'm about to share with you does NOT leave this room, understand?" 

He looked her in the eye with as serious a face as he could give before laying back in his chair and gulping down some water,"...You know that bio-terrorist attack at the local university?...I was there," Alan would watch for her reaction before continuing,"I got caught in the blast but...somehow, I'm still alive. I know. I look pretty good for someone who should be a walking tumor right about now. As for "how"? Well...guess I was just lucky..."

The baker shook his head,"When I recovered, I started noticing these...mutations going on with me. I had perfect vision, and I could...do things..." He let out an empty chuckle,"I must sound like a madman, don't I? Honestly, I wouldn't blame you if you felt that way...except.." 

He picked up a hand-held mirror and looked at himself, focusing on letting his power out. As he did so, his hair changed to a dark brown, then blond, before fading back to normal. Even his eyes briefly changed color to a soft green. After this, he sighed and laid the mirror back down, "See?"
