Jean was a bit surprised to see the young boy come out of the shower with just a towel, and averted his eyes, feeling wrong for looking at him. However, he had already noticed the large scars on his back. "How did you get those?" he asked softly.

Tai quickly backed up towards the door to the bathroom. "Ah.. N-..Nowhere!" He said quickly, he really didn't like to lie, but he didn't want to tell Jean how he had gotten them... Either he would laugh, highly unlikely, or he would get all sympathetic... Tai didn't want Jean to worry about him more than he already had. He quickly turned around and started striding towards the bathroom.

"Fine." Jean replied with a shrug. "I guess it really isn't any of my business." As Jean finished speaking, the door closed, with Tai behind it. Jean sighed again. He pretended not to really care about the scars, but his curiosity was killing him. He would find out sooner or later. He hoped it would be sooner.

Once Tai had closed the door he took a large breath, relieved that Jean hadn't asked again. He quickly slipped on a pair of gray jeans and a white button up shirt, but he left the first couple buttons unbuttoned. He folded the towels and set them on the counter to dry. He then looked in the mirror at his air. Even if he tried, it never got dry by force...He shrugged and left the bathroom. He went straight for his bed and Placed his dirty clothes in one half of the suitcase. "Sorry...about that.." He mumbled, closing it back up and setting it at the foot of his bed.

Jean was unpacking his clothes, putting them into the bedside dresser as Tai reentered the room. "It's alright." he said with a little wave of his hand before finishing up what he was doing. He then glanced over at Tai and smiled slightly. "You look nice." he said. "Have you seen anyone around the school that caught your fancy?"

Tai quickly turned his head towards Jean. "Thanks.." He squeaked, Opening one of the outer pockets of his suitcase. He quickly moved a strand of wet hair behind his ear and pulled out a small picture. There was 2 adults and one was holding a small baby. He closed his eyes and set it on the bed. He sat next to it an answered, his face turned rose again. "I think... But..I still don't know..."

Jean smiled and sat up, leaning on his right elbow, looking at Tai. "Well, who are they? Are they hot?" he asked excitedly. He always liked meddling in other's love lives, or at least observing them. "Or are you not comfortable enough to talk about it?" he added with a raise of his eyebrow.

Tai perked up, he wasn't expecting Jean to ask that. "I..I guess he is..." He mumbled his fingers fiddled with each other as he answered. He peered up at Jean, and then back down. "But... I don't really understand him..." He sighed, and looked back up at Jean. "WHat about you?"

Jean sighed and smiled wider. "Yeah. This guy name Salem. He's super hot, cool, and I heard he's kinda nice." he replied, thinking about him a little. "I've never even spoken to him though. He might not be so nice, who knows."
[[I am so sorry for all these short posts I'm doing. I don't know what's wrong with me.]]

Tai smiled, he was glad Jean found someone, but truth was, Tai had only met Jean so far... but he liked him.. "That's good...You should talk to him..." He suggested, not sure if it was a good suggestion or not. Tai hadn't really had experience in the love department before..

"I should, shouldn't I?" Jean asked, more to himself than to Tai. He had his hand on his chin. "I'll talk to him another day. I'd probably go all bonkers around him and electrocute him to death." It was true, Jean's powers were especially on the fritz around people he at least had a crush on. He would have to learn to control his powers fully before actually trying to start a relationship or anything of the sort.
Jean soon got out of bed and stretched. "Well, we can talk and lay around in here all day, or, we can go out and walk around the school." Jean said, straitening his straps over his shoulder and around his abdomen. Even Jean knew what he wore was kinda weird and probably against the school's dress code, even for off hours, but he got tired of his shirts catching on fire, or just getting holes burnt in them, so he wore mostly rubber and leather, which is harder to damage with electricity. Wearing his uniform is going to be hell. "Are you coming?" he asked as he opened the door.

Tai paused and soon stood up. "Ah.. umm..sure..." He mumbled, but his hair was still sloping wet he sighed, he was just going to have to go outside with his hair wet, and he could get sick, but suddenly he heard a whistle noise in his ear. "I'll just be one second..." He told Jean. He ran into the bathroom and didn't mind that the door was open. He quickly closed his eyes, and how wind blew onto his head, quickly drying it. Once he thought it was dry enough, he ran back out to find Jean waiting. "Sorry..." He Apologized, and he slowly opened the door for Jean.

Jean smiled as Tai came back out of th bathroom with his hair looking more silky, instead of how wet and stuck together it all was just a few seconds ago. "It's alright." he said. "Nice job."
Jean then walked out the door with Tai and began to walk lazily down the halls. "I wonder what the professors here will be like." Jean said, looking around in case one was nearby. "It'd be cool if they were mutant's too. Then they'd actually understand what it's like. Or...at least, they'd get the gist of it all, since everyone has different powers. Some more troublesome than others."

Tai observed every door sign they passed, wondering if anyone was in them yet. He nodded at what Jean had said about the teachers... they would probably understand about people's pasts as well...
Once Oliver thought about it, he sighed and hunched his back. "These scars..." He began, referring to the ones on his back. "You wanted to know where I got them..." He felt disappointed about telling him... They had a conversation, they actually became somewhat friends... so he had to tell him.

"There's no need to worry about me," Angel said, smiling for her new roommates; she didn't have any siblings so she couldn't say for sure, but hearing the two react in unison definitely reminded her of a brother and sister. She could see that the two had a very strong bond between them, even if they didn't make it obvious. Still, she couldn't help the slightly apologetic note in her voice. "Really, I'm fine," she continued, "I may be small, but I'm more durable then most people."
Honestly, she appreciated the twins concern ( that was a good description, wasn't it? Angel wasn't an expert but Jamie and Rory certainly looked like siblings to her ), it had been a while since anyone had showed interest in her well-being, but the two were wasting their time. Angel was a notoriously clumsy girl, had been for as long as she could remember, and she didn't want to cause any more worry for them; the constant threat of being caught was more then enough to concern themselves without her adding to it.
Angel couldn't help herself anyway. Whenever she saw someone in pain, no matter who they were, she would help them in a heartbeat. Maybe that was the flaw in her character: compassionate regardless of how much it hurt her to do so. Jamie and Rory would soon learn that Angel was a hopeless case in this category.
For the first time since she had entered the room, the blonde sat down on the bed, a soft sigh escaping her lips. In the grand scheme of things, six months wasn't a very long time. She had roomed with girls in Northwood who had been there for years, some had never known another home. Compared to them, Angel was extremely fortunate. Not only had she evaded detection for so long, but she had been given a chance to get out shortly after she had arrived. Like a magical 'Get Out of Jail Free' card, the Blackthorn Project was a dream come true, a chance to get her life back, a chance to start fresh.
The bed was soft and comfortable, complete with sheets, pillow and a thick blanket; apparently the IMDA had taken care of everything, right down to the bare necessities. Angel didn't know is she should be grateful or not; this was the organization responsible for reducing her entire life down to a single file folder. Still, she was a little glad for their forethought; she, probably like many of the other subjects, only had a single suitcase to her name. Besides herself, it was the only tangible piece of her life that she could bring to Blackthorn. Everything else - mementos, photographs, personal treasures - she had been forced to leave behind when the IMDA took her.
"How about this," Angel said after a moment, "I'll be more careful so long as you two be a little nicer to each other." The comment was meant to be directed at both of them, but it was hard not to look at Jamie as she spoke. It was pretty obvious who wore the pants in this relationship, or was it a partnership? Either way, Jamie seemed to be in control. "That's a fair compromise, right?"
[Sorry for the long absence. I've been really sick this week, but since I can't sleep I'm trying to catch up with my posting. Hopefully this was worth the long wait. whee ]
