Something Unexpected (Open)

[kari]

His piercing blue eyes were glued to the book that sat in front of him as he sat there in the library. He had to study up on the united states history, after all he had a test next week in his school. Time seemed to pass painfully slow, as others walked by talking about things that Kari wasn't even paying attention to. Minutes passed and then his phone buzzed with its annoying ring. Kari quickly shot up from his desk and moved his way through the crowd.

His mind was for the most part blank, except the thought of the cigarettes he had in his pockets, although he couldn't get away with having one until after he was done so he sighed and shook the idea out of his head.

His head was buzzing around from lack of nicotine and the overall noise of the people around him. He glared down the rows of books, watching as it got closer and closer. He grumbled as he tried in vain to push the though of smoking out of his mind, although it just caused him to start to have a headache.

He grunted as a sharp twang of pain went through his head and he closed his eyes.
There was a kind of hissing noise coming down from the other end of the hall. He wondered what it could be be, as the noise seemed to grow louder as he made his way down the isle toward the books he needed.
His powers were causing a buildup of gas in a trash can. Although he had no idea this was happening, as he often never used his powers in order to keep them hidden. As such he had no control over them, and lately they had been acting up on their own. He continued walking forward eventually a little ways from the metal box.

Eventually he made his way about five feet from the trashcan when he stopped, the noise was incredibly loud, as if there was some kind of gas leak.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, the gasses that had built up in the trash can from his powers caused them to expand outward in a rapid explosion, sending shrapnel flying forward and into the wall. Kari ducked quickly and looked around, a crowd of people looking around for what happened. Luckily enough for him no one was looking in his general direction when the metal box decided to blow up. He knew it was his powers that had somehow caused the explosion, but he was not about to stick around for people to find out. After all his papers and books were strewn across the floor, and there was a rather large hole in the opposite side of the wall.

Slowly he made his way to his feet and noticed people gathering around looking at the hole in the wall and the damaged metal box, no doubt the noise was going to draw even more attention in the next few moments. So he sidestepped his way backward in to the crowd and slowly started to make his way away from the mass of people as quickly as he could without drawing attention to himself.

“I need another Story. Something I need to confess

Anton had gotten permission from the Professor, to go visit his sister in the Big Apple. The had been planning this big day long excision, where they where to hand out, and just catch up on times. He had seen her in what... maybe 4 years. They had agreed to meet in a library not to far from her apartment.

But so far she hadn't showed up. It was typical, Sierra wasn't always the most reliable person in the world. Only god knows how Ty, her husband, puts up with it. So Anton had resigned to fate, and just started reading books.

He had paced up and down the fiction isles, for a good half and hour before found anything. He found a small book written in Russian, which Anton was lucky he found, because you normally don't find anything in Russian in a library that are run by English speakers. But he had found it and retreated to a small corner, reading in the peace and quite, trying to ignore the mental murmurs that he could here around him.

It was strange, to tell the truth, in a place so quiet that it could be mentally, so loud. But when you think about it, the library is a place of thought, and when you can hear thoughts, it sounds like you in the middle of a very loud College Commons. But Anton was mostly successful in getting himself lost in the Russian stories.

Then he started to hear something that he couldn't ignore, It was people thoughts about a strange noise, and then he heard a large explosion. He looked up from his book to to source of the noise. A garbage can exploded. Which was strange, he had never heard of one being volatile, what would cause it to explode? Anton was watching the preceding and saw the librarian rushing over to investigate. Actually everyone was going over to see what had happened. Everyone but one guy who was moving away, from the scene. Normally no one moves away from something like that, unless if they had caused it.

Anton picked up his book, and started following him, placing the book on what looked to him a shelving cart. He followed not to far behind, trying to not lose the guy who going away. He was trying to hone in on his thoughts, though what he was picking up on was lost in the sea of thoughts that where coming from the onlookers.

Anton was trying to think of away to approach the kid, he couldn't be much older Anton himself. But then an opportunity presented to him. The other guy during his exodus from the group had dropped a sheet of paper. Anton picked it up. It looked like a sheet of notes or maybe some study guide. He wasn't going to examine it to much, feeling that it might be rude to do that. Anton rushed over to the other kid.

“Hey? Is this yours?” He asked waving the paper around, trying to catch his attention, but trying not to be to loud. “I thought you dropped it.”

“Tell me what you want to here.”

(I don't mind at all ^-^)

Kari found himself on the outside of the crowd by now, other people muttering things about what they thought happened. Sure enough someone would find something with his name on it and then rumors would start to spread. Kari grumbled and gritted his teeth as he began to slowly try to walk away. Looking as casual as he could he managed to make it a little ways down the hall before he looked over to the closest door.

But there was something unexpected that happened as he was about to make his escape. He found himself stopped by a man, who seemed to come out of nowhere. Then the guy said something about him dropping a paper and Kari's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if the guy had seen him do it, or if he was actually just there to help. No matter what happened the guy had somehow managed to stay incredibly calm, and to help out a stranger even though there had been a explosion nearby.
"I don't know who you are or what you want but I don't have to talk to you..." Kari's voice was shaky, sweat was starting to form on his brow. Sure he could try to lie his way out of this, but the guy was kind of intimidating.

He took a step back and his hand touched a large shelf full of books. His eyes began to glow blue and a cone of nitrogen gas shot outward from his hand and started to freeze several of the books. Pulling his hand away he looked down and noticed the white fog of gas floating around his fingers. He muttered something under his breath and ran toward the closest door, even though there was a man who had obviously seen what had just happened.

When Anton was trying to give the kid his paper back, he turned to Anton, very Neverous like. He told Anton that he didn't know him and didn't have to talk to him. Both his mental and physical voice was stuttering, the other kid was frightened, but why?

Anton never considered himself intimidating. Anton knew he was quiet and often quite aloof, but never figured himself to be intimidating. Anton was about to try to give the kid his paper, but then Anton say, at least what Anton could have viewed as his source of his worries.

The kid had taken a step back and his hand was on a book. Then something extraordinary happened, the book froze. The kid looked at his hand and then ran toward the nearest door. Anton put two and two together, the kid was a mutant. He must have caused the garbage can to explode. Anton had to try to keep up with the kid, mostly out of curiosity, but also he should find out his name, the paper that Anton was clutching had no name on it. He should probably find out his name, so that the Professor would know about him.

Anton chased after him, trying to keep up. The kid had a head start, and Anton had no way of catching up to him. He wanted to tell the kid to wait up, but he couldn't speak right now, his breath was focused on helping him run. But Anton mentally shouted 'Stop!' The library assistant at the desk turned and looked at Anton, not truly registering what had just happened. Anton didn't really realize that he had just project that word into everyone's minds around him.

“Tell me what you want to here.”

Kari was running from the other man in a desperate attempt to flee from the scene. He didn't want to be around a crowd of people after what he had just caused to happen, and he knew it was obvious that rumors of a mutant were circulating by now. He looked over his shoulder only to see the other man now making a dash toward him, most likely in order to stop him.
Kari had managed to make his way close enough to the door that he was able to reach out and grab the handle. Although something had happened that caused him to stop abruptly. There was a loud yell inside his mind, a overpowering voice that boomed "Stop!" He gasped and tried to take a step back only to catch himself from falling with the door handle.
He pulled backward trying to break free only to have his feet start to slip out from under him. And the next thing he knew he was falling toward the ground.

Although as he made contact with the solid terra firma he found the slick tile floor of the library replaced with hard concrete. He gasped for breath and started to look up only to see himself sitting halfway through the now open door on the ground. He tried desperately to struggle back to his feet before the other man could catch up.

Anton's mental command, it was meant as a command, but it most of came of as one, had stopped the boy dead in his tracks. Unfortunately the fact that Anton had just revealed his power too everyone with in 15 feet of him was dawning on him. Anton end up running to the kid, who had after braking free of his command, fell.

He some how managed to not step on him, he offered his hand to the kid. He said whispered winded, “Please, don't have me chase you cross town.” He mentally projected to the guy, 'I just want to talk to you. But we should leave here, I think too many knows' His projections where neither a command nor a request. It was like he was talking to him, but only mentally. Anton thought he was getting the hang of talking telepathicly, that what the professor called it at least. But it was causing a strain on Anton, he was feeling sort of light headed, and he wasn't sure one how well he could chase after the guy.

Kari was still dumbfounded on what had happened, he really didn't know what to think about the situation at hand. He started to make his way back to his feet when he noticed someone run past him. He looked up only to see the other man from before trying to lend him a hand.
This of course was something altogether suspicious, he really didn't know why someone who was just chasing after him would be so willing to help him up.
He heard the guy say something about not wanting to chase him and Kari grumbled. He mumbled something under his breath before he pushed himself up back on to his feet.

"Why the hell shou-" He stopped suddenly when the voice had returned from no where. He held on to the side of his head as the voice echoed. It finally dawned on him where the noise was coming from, why the guy didn't want to chase him down, and why many people inside were now starring at the open door. Both of them were mutants.
Kari bit his lip and grabbed the other guy's hand, pulling him along as he started to jog away from the library. After all it wasn't the safest of places for the two after what had happened.
"Come on!"

Anton was tired, between the display of his ability and the made dash he did after the kid, he didn't have much energy to talk. Probably between passive reading minds and sending messages out to people, had drained Anton considerable, he won't be able to talk or run for that far.

Anton was being pulled right alone with the other kid, and stumbled for a bit till he was able to get his cadence down. After awhile he was able to fall into step with the other kid, and start following him. He had a huge headache and his stomach was starting to do slight tumbles, for what reason was lost on Anton. He just followed the other kid.

After going about a block, Anton posed another mental question, 'Where to?' He asked simply, he couldn't focus on much more of a complicated message, then that.

“Tell me what you want to here.”

Kari continued to pull the other guy along with him as he tried to make his way down the street, he didn't want to seem suspicious, but at the same time he really didn't want to be near the library anymore. He noticed the other man having trouble keeping up at first, so Kari tried to slow down until he had managed to balance himself. The two managed to get a block or so away before Kari heard another echo inside his head, something he really wasn't getting used too.

He turned around a corner and pulled the guy into a alley. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath and he looked up at him.
"So... your really a mutant....." Kari looked at the other man questioningly, after all he was more than certain at this point that his theory was right, but then again he didn't want to seem like a idiot. He had never met another mutant before, after all he usually kept to himself. Not to say he was the greatest fan of mutants, but he was so stunned to have met one so suddenly.

They had gone about a black before the other guy had stopped and aske dthe question that he had figured he would ask.

“So.... Your really a mutant......”

It had a hesitant sound to it, and he can sense that his mind was uncertain about how to say it. He could tell the other guy was sure about being in a presence of another mutant. It began to pick up on the possibility that Anton was the first other mutant that he met, which was a strange concept for Anton.

Anton nodded, saying “I am, I guess if that what they call it.” He wasn't 100% comfortable with being a mutant, after all being told for most of your life that being a mutant was equal to being the helper of the Devil, and then finding out you fit in that category. Not a pretty picture, huh. “My name is Anton.” Anton added, extending his hand out to other guy. Anton figured that was a good idea to be give his name, to show he was putting faith in the other guy. Which he was.

“Tell me what you want to here.”

Kari noticed as the other man seemed wary of something, as if he was studying something without saying a word. Although Kari just figured this was how the guy acted, after all its not like they really knew each other before now.
When the other man confirmed Kari's suspicions he cracked a soft smile, knowing that he was right.

Slowly he reached into his pocket and pulled out his slightly crumpled pack of cigarettes. He pulled one out and placed it into his mouth before looking back at the man. Kari started to pull out a lighter as the other guy said his name was Anton. Although up to this point it was slightly obvious that he had some kind of accent Kari couldn't put his finger on where.
Regardless as not to seem rude Kari extended his own hand and grabbed a hold of the other mans firm grip.
"My name is Kari."

Kari finally managed to pull out his lighter as he raised it to the cigarette sitting between his lips. He sparked it and lit up the end of the cancer stick before taking a few slow drags.

Anton accept the other mans handshake with without a word. He began to look out into the distance... thinking. He like to do that, didn't care for anything to be unplanned, or unexpected. But Anton guessed meeting Kari was something both unplanned and unexpected. And Kari didn't seem that bad of a guy.

Anton crinkled his nose when Kari brought out his cigarettes. He was a particular fan of them, but everyone had there own vice. Just because Anton hadn't found his, doesn't mean he didn't have one. Who was he to judge. But he still didn't care for Cigarettes, their smoke made him noxious, something that he found out around his dad. He avoid his dad when he smoked, which was almost all the time.

So Anton decide to brave the question that he was think for a while. “So...” He started waiting for him to get Kari's attention. “How long have you known about them.” He meant them as in his powers. He didn't want to say it to blatantly, who knows who was with in earshot.

“Tell me what you want to here.”

Kari smiled softly when the other boy shook his hand, something that was rather rare to see.
He continued to take a couple more drags off his cigarette before he noticed Anton's obvious distaste with them. But for the most part Kari had gotten used to people not enjoying his habit.

He really wasn't sure what to ask the other mutant, after all it was more or less a first time deal for Kari. Although he soon found the awkwardness of the situation abruptly ending by the other boy's question. Kari only grumbled and took another drag of his cigarette, knowing that eventually the subject would switch to him.
It wasn't like he had asked to come here and have a discussion about his abilities. After all if he could he would rather just ignore them completely. He didn't have to use them, and perhaps every now and then they would go off on their own. But if no one got hurt then Kari didn't really see the problem.

"A while.... Does it matter?" For the most part Kari wanted to ignore the subject completely, so for the time being he decided to try and shift the focus of the conversation.
"So where are you from anyways?"

[myval]

“I need another Story. Something I need to confess

Anton watched the boy side step his question, then he heard his thoughts on the matter of his ability. Anton responded to his thoughts, not his words. “You should practice with it more, so that you don't have anymore... accidents.” The accident he was referring to was of course what happened to the library. “Sorry” He followed up with.. he really needed to stop resounding to peoples thoughts.

Anton thought awhile about Kari's question, wanting to pick his words right... “I currently live upstate a bit. About an hour train ride out of the city.” that wasn't Kari's question. But his question would bring up bad memories. Ones best left alone.

Anton let his mind wander a bit, sort of soaking in the other boy's relaxing thoughts when he was smoking... Which was kind of like smoking without actually doing it. Which was strange... Anton made a mental note to explore that possibility in the future.

Anton began to realize that he practically had the whole day to himself... in New York City. It seems that Sierra had forgotten him. So what was he going to do now. He had to be honest, Kari sort of intrigued him. He was one of the first mutants he met outside of school. And to be totally honest it wasn't like he was mean.. or anything. So Anton let his curiosity take him and asked... “So what are you going to do next?” It wasn't said snidely or in anyway besides curiously. Anton truly wanted to know.

“Tell me what you want to here.”

Kari took another few drags from his cigarette and sighed looking out toward the city. Although his thoughts were interrupted by Anton saying something about how he needed to practice more.
He glared over at the other boy and threw his cigarette to the ground.
"I can control my powers! Just buzz off about it...." He grumbled and turned his head away from the guy. Sure he sounded rather rude, but then again Kari really didn't like to talk about his powers in the first place.

He heard Anton say something about how he lived up town, and Kari noticed how he was trying to dodge the subject as well.
Although Kari didn't notice, his eyes were starting to turn a bright blue again. And a trail of smoke started to drift upward out of his mouth, even though his cigarette was stomped out on the ground.

He heard Anton ask what he was going to do next and he looked at him strangely. Kari was never really the kind of guy to plan things out, he just let things happen as they happened. After all he really didn't have a plan for the day or anything.
"Umm... I dunno bro..." He scratched the back of his head and shrugged.
