Welcome to Gaia! ::

((okay, im no good at thinking these things anyways, lol))
Kioko looked up at the boys that had just arrived..
"wow, they seem to be in deep thought" Kioko said..
"i wonder whats up?"

Kioko finished mixing the chocolate and handed one to each Jackie and Max, also grabbing one for herself. She then turned her head towards the cave where Strobe recently entered.
"we're over here Strobe" Kioko called out

"what did you find out?" max asked excitedly. "i cant wait anymore, hurry up and tell us."

Crow kept an ear attentive to Strobe's imminent statements, though as he pulled forth his own folder and ran his fingers along the brick of pages he knew unfortunate knowledge would be brought to him soon as well. He turned the whole of the folder to veiw it from the side, it was very thick, hundreds of pages, never would he have thought to write so much about himself. The work done on him must have been expansive. He then rested it on his arm, took a look about to be sure no one were reading over his shoulder, and open the yellow flap to reveal the first page:



Crow didn't bother to open past the cover page just yet, he waited to hear what Strobe had to say.

"Well, the first thing you need to know is, I'm not who you thought I was. Hell, I'm not even who I thought I was. Let me get right to it. The file says that I was found after a fire which killed my entire family except for me. I had miraculously gotten out without a scratch. They found me and discovered my pyrokinesis." Here Strobe took a big breath before continuing.
"It was then that they told me, with their help, I could go from pyro to full-blown plasmakinesis, and control it with the proper training. I signed on willingly." he looked as if there was more to the story, but shook it off.
"Anyway, besides the value of this information to me, there's something in it for you. Most of the time, normal humans treat us as freaks, but here's the thing; I had powers before the experimentation. They called me a Natural, which means I have powers naturally. Maybe there are other Naturals out there, too, who will be willing to help us."

Crow was confused as to what Strobe's point might have been, it was unfortunate that his family was killed, but they'd all suffered losses. But what really seemed strange was his talk of powers before experimentation, he'd thought all of them had powers before they were even discovered, he never took into account that some of them might have been completely normal at first, after all Max had never mentioned having any powers before the lab. Was it possible that Jackie and Kioko's powers were foreign to them?

Kioko placed an darm on Jackie, notcing her uneasiness...
"are you okay? you seem a little pale?" She said worriedly.
"a natural you say? wow, i didnt even think there was something considered a natural" Kioko said shocked...
Kioko was too a natural weilder of her powers now, considereing she had gotten it from the lab for as long as she could remember, but even having someone have their powers was something totally different.
"i really dont get the full story yet, but im sure if i read enough of this book, we might get some answers" Kioko said holding up the 5 inch thick book. "i'll tell you what i find as soon as i can okay?"
Kioko got up and put away her chocolate milk, adding firewood to the flames

"Mmmrmmm..." Crow made a low, long contemplative sound as Strobe finished what he had to say and seemed to move away from the group. With the newfound silence inbetween he listened carefully to the woods and tried to feel the Ki of the creatures moving through the forest, there didn't seem to be anything threatening to the camp at the moment. He looked back at his folder, now was his chance to get a look at what his history in the lab really was, and what their motives were, he turned the cover page over and began to read the report, this was going to take awhile.
