"Umm.. Yes. And if you don't mind me asking, what happened to your hand?"
Daria nodded, clumsily bringing a cheeto up to her mouth with her left hand. She paused as she answered, wincing slightly. It was kinda embarrassing for someone who made the highest score in her driver's ed class to admit she crashed her car.
"I uh..broke it in a, um..car crash. Just this afternoon."
Noticing that the girl was making a sandwich, she set down the chopsticks holding the lone orange snack, and picked up the bag.
"Want some cheetos for your sandwich?"
The bag was just the regular bag, but stuck to the outside was a tag.
"Fingerprinted, do not touch." The tag read. Daria smiled, it never really deterred the others, but when she stuffed in the very back of the cabinet(and a new one every time), she never had to worry about buying a new bag more than once a month.

"Was anyone else hurt? ANd how did you crash?" Katlyn asked, makign sure to get her shields back tight. It wouldn't be polite to read her thoughs, once she knew how to sheild. She just now noticed what Daria was using to eat with and just kind of gave her a silly look. "Uh... No thank you. I don't really like Cheetos." Katlyn sits down at the table and procceds to eat her sandwhich. "So, uh... What powers do you have?"

"Was anyone else hurt? And how did you crash?"
A funny look crossed the girl's face, but Daria couldn't guess what for.
" Uh...No thank you. I don't really like Cheetos. So uh..What powers do you have?"
Daria smiled, this girl really opened up once you got her talking.
" Nah, I was the only one. Was driving when I shouldn't have been and almost hit an animal. Ran into a tree instead. The animal was okay...I think."
Daria grabbed the chopsticks again. Picking up a Cheeto, she popped it into her mouth and chewed thoughtfully(with her mouth closed) before swallowing and answering.
" I can control water, and have this kind of telekinesis I think. I can make some weak force fields, and move some stuff, but nothing too heavy."
Daria pulled enough water from the air to make a small dancer, no more than three inches tall. Holding it in mid-air, she floated it over to the table where the girl sat, and made it complete a few twirls before dissipating.
"By the way, I'm Daria. Some of the students around here call me Mermaid, Mer for short.
How about you? What's your gift?"
Daria tucked a loose blue strand behind her ear before popping another Cheeto into her mouth. As she pulled the chopsticks away from her mouth, she suddenly realized what the girl had thought was so funny.
Not only was she using chopsticks, she was using them with her left hand, and eating Cheetos with them. Yup, she was definitely crazy.

"Well, that's good. Right?" Katlyn asks. She really wasn't an animal person, but understood how much they could mean to someone. Excpesally after you have been inside thier head. Well, being apathitic was better then cruel.
Those sound better then what I have. Its more a curse then anything else. Katlyn thinks, locking down her shield. Again. It was pretty hard to control this "gift" of her's. Water control, hey that would be pretty cool. ANd telekenises, that could be useful.
"My name's Katlyn." She replys, keeping those thoughts from her mind. "And my gift, if you could call it that, is telepathy. A rather strong form of it, from what I can gather."

"Well, that's good. Right?"
Daria nodded, it wasn't that she had a special bond with animals, but ever since her talk with Zach that morning, she didn't even want to think about hurting something. She'd even let a spider she had seen earlier go.
"Those sound..."
Daria thought she'd heard something in her head, but quickly discounted it. Instead focusaing on the girl's response.
"My name is Katlyn, and my gift, if you could call it that, is telepathy. A rather strong form of it from what I can gather."
Daria was impressed, telepathy, the ability to read a person's mind....how would that not be a gift? It was pretty cool, especially since the Prof. and Ms. Jean Grey had it.
"Are you able to control it?" She asked, for that would be the only reason it wouldn't be a gift.

"No, I can't. I never wanted this. I just wanted to be like everyone else." Katlyn says. She took some more bites of her sandwich. Thinking about what this new life is going to be. She'd never go back to her friends, or her school. Maybe she would, but she would be different from them. She would stand out in her family. The mutant. Wonderful. ANd considering some of my family really dislike mutants. Why me?
Katlyn then realizes that her shields came down while she was thinking. Blushing, she works to get them back up before she reads anything from Daria

"No, I can't. I never wanted this. I just wanted to be like everyone else."
Daria felt sorry for the girl, she obviously didn't consider her powers a gift.
"Wonderful. And considering some of my family really dislike mutants. Why me?"
Except that it sounded like it was inside her ehad, Daria coudl've sworn the girl had actually spoken, it was amazing!
"You shoudln't go so hard on your self." Daria said, smiling helpfully.
"So, can you hear what I'm thinking right now?"
" When I first found out I was scared to death. Then Ms.Munroe explained it, and what they do here...I sure felt a lot better. It only takes a little time." She thought with grin, hoping that the girl could hear her.
"I wouldn't worry about family, my parents still don't know, they think I'm here for my dancing." Daria mentally laughed,a soft sound like water trickling.

Daria's thoughts came through and since she was thinking them at Katlyn, he fragile shields came down. Katlyn just listened to what all Daria said... Thought. Katlyn liked the sound of her mental laugh, it was sweet, not harsh like some of the others she had "heard".
MY parents know about this school because one of my uncles is also one of us. I don't remember what his powers were, but I don't think they were good. My parents and my imedet family know, but no one else. Because of my uncle, they fear and hate us. Katlyn thinks back at Daria. Maybe this thinking at each other wasn't so bad.
((Sorry about the long time no posting....What ever happened to the other people?))

((I dont' know, they haven't posted since their profile, and the only other one who has is Soviet, and he disappeared into the school somewhere.
And it's okay, I haven't been aroud cuz I got grounded. ))
"My parents know about this school because one of my uncles is also one of us. I don't remember what his powers were, but I don't think they were good. My parents and my immediate family know, but no one else. Because of my uncle, they fear and hate us."
Daria felt sorry for the girl, her situation didn't seem too good. Daria wondered what was better, if you're parents knew, or if they believed a lie?
" At least here, you're safe... your don't have to worry about your parents, and you can learn how to use your powers properly. Did your uncle go to school here?"
She mentally asked. All this talking without using your voice was pretty cool. Daria was struck by a sudden thought, this girl needed to make some friends...badly. Daria bet ten to one that any friends she'd had before had ditched her as soon as they found out. She woudln't have to worry about that here.
"Have you met any of the other students?"

I don't know if he did. I think I remember some of his powers. Something to do with animals. But I don't remember. I tired to forget about him, since that is what most of my family was doing..
Katlyn was just struck by the thought that she really didn't know anyone here. ALl her old friends ditched her as soon as she started to act weird. Katlyn learned then that her powers were telling her about her friends thoughts, not that they were saying those things. It had hurt when she found out how her friends truly thought about her. ...met any of the other students?
If by met them, you mean read their thoughts, then yes. Other wise no. It would be embarsing to come up and be reading their every thought. Lonleyness tingled her mental voice.

Daria was silent for a couple seconds, Dr. Jean Grey amd the Prof. didn't always read people's thoughts, at least, not to her knowledge. They were always very courteous before doing so. So they must have some kind of shield. Daria wondered if Katlyn had learned that particular tool yet.
" Have you how to not read people's minds yet?"
That must be something they taught all telepaths, it would only make sense.
"Cause if you have, I could take to you around to meet some of the students I know."

Yes, I was working on it when you started thinging at me. Just give me a moment, and I'll have it up. Katlyn thinks, cheered. Maybe she would make some friends here that didn't hate her because she could read mind. Gah, what was that thought? Of course she wouldn't be hated, she belonged. Closing her eyes, she starts to focus on the shield. Builiding it up like she was taught, she got it nice and solid. Opening her eyes, she says "Ok, I've got it up, lets go."

"Yes, I was working on it when you started thinking at me. Just give me a moment, and I'll have it up."
Daria patiently waited as the girl appeared to concentrate for a little while, her closed eyes opening quickly.
" Ok, I've got it up, let's go."
Daria smiled, trying to decide who to introduce Katlyn to first. If Phoenix hadn't been sick, he would've been the perfect candidate.
Quickly making up her mind, Daria led the girl from the kitchen, her bowl of cheetos and chopsticks left forgotten on the counter.
She first introduced the girl to a couple of the newer students, being new still would probably mean they understood Katlyn's situation better.
Popping her head into one of the girl's dorm rooms, she spotted who she was looking for easily.
"Allie! I've got someone here you have got to meet!"
Allie, or rather Alena, was another one of the students who had befriended Daria soon after she arrived. Her power was rather hard to describe, easier to be seen than said. A lot of the students called her Sol, mostly because Alena's power was based on solar light.
She could manipulate the light, forming it to her will to the extent of breaking it down into the spectrum of colors like a prism would. Useful thing to have in Daria's opinion.
"Allie, this is Katlyn, she's a telepath. Katlyn, this is Allie, one of the brightest kids in school." Daria teased. Alena seemed to have a warm glow about her most of the time, plus she was also one of the smartest kids in class. Her grades were the closest to Zach's, although his were off the charts, she still was a straight A student. Daria often found herself getting Alena's help especially when dealing with Science, Allie's strong point.
Alena's smile was warm and welcoming as Daria introduced the two.
" I hope you'll like it here, you're the new student that just showed up this morning, right?"
That was another thing Daria loved about Allie, she always knew what was going on.
A Daria flexed her arm slightly, she was relieved that she had only broken her wrist, the slings for a mid-arm break seemed to be not only annoying, but uncomfortable. In her opinion anyway.

Katlyn couldn't help but notice the fact that the girl, Allie was it, was glowing. It was very soft, but it still stood out. And 'brightest' student couldn't be for just anything, could it? Maybe she was glowing. Katlyn smiled back. "Hi yes I am. And could I know why you are glowing?" She asked. It was starting to eat her alive.

Daria grinned devilishly when Katlyn finally asked why Alena was glowing, the girl must have been dying to know what Allie's powers were.
Alena's smile was good-natured, though it wasn't always. Alena could be as mischievous as Daria sometimes.
" It has something to do with my power, the ability to control solar energies,"
Daria faked a grimace. Whenever Alena started talking about her powers, it was more than likely that she would end up talking about science, a subject she could talk on for hours.
" I've noticed that I tend to glow more when I feel more powerful, kinda like I'm charged up."
Alena discharged slightly, showering the room with prismatic displays.
Alena's face suddenly became serious.
" What happened to your hand?" She asked Daria, the latters face split in a cheerful grin. Allie never missed a thing.
" Nothing much, I just broke my wrist in a crash earlier. No big deal, but I think Mr. Summers isn't too happy, now he has to show me how to fix my car."
" There goes you're perfect record." Allie said with a laugh, turning back to Katlyn to explain. " She was always telling others about how she hadn't ever broken anything but teeth. So, who have you met? I guess not Phoenix, he's still sleeping off whatever he caught."
