Friday - Mather Memorial High to Orlaith Valley Trail and Park
The silence lasted much more longer than he had originally hoped. When the girls had gone off to get to the flag, he had stayed there with no one other than himself. He looked at his palms as he had formed a small flat circle with an engraving on it. It was a very simple 'E' but enough to make him smile. Baby steps, his father would often tell him when he practiced. Because that's just how it is. Since he couldn't openly practice it, he hadn't exactly been able to use them in more practical ways. He looked up once more to see yet another fire that had been started not too far from them. He slipped the ice object into his pockets as he took a deep breath.
Aiden.
That was who seemed to have been responsible for the fire. Belle said as much when she immediately told them that Aiden was not playing a team-building game. He also had a history of being labelled a 'pyromaniac'. While he didn't exactly believe in these rumors, he certainly considered them now. Great. Ice versus fire - it was obvious which one would win. But it was better to put up some form of resistance to at least make this interesting. But, again, there was really no proof for him to accuse him of being a fire manipulating hyperhuman.
A stream of bright orange caught his attention as it shot up towards the sky and it landed near him, making the the leaves and twigs in that area burst into flames. He moved ever so slightly away from the burning pile, finding the close quarter with fire quite uncomfortable. Evander looked at the burning pile and then towards where the fireball had come from.
"Aiden." He said, figuring out who it was before his eyes could even adjust to see him. He was a hyperhuman, like him. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to be relieved because he met someone like him, or if she should be worried since this just might not end up like what he originally thought this camping would be. He let out a single syllable chuckle,
"They're back at camp, unfortunately enough. You should have warned me first - would have brought a whole bunch if I knew you could do that." He was the only thing that stood between Aiden and the flag... but something told him that Aiden came here for a completely other reason. Wait, actually, Belle told that to him.
"So you're a hyperhuman too huh? Fire too, that's nice." He was awaiting for him to make any other moves. This might be the situation, but for Evander, they were still playing capture the flag.
