max sat in the kitchen it was one of the only quiet places. he needed to get some studding done for his classes. He looked at the book he had read it cover to cover. Of course he should do fine but he needed to keep his mind sharp. He wanted to be a gym teacher one day or be able to do some thing with sports its all he had ever wanted.
His powers had put an end to it and now he had a chance to do it again for the first time in so long he had every thing that he wanted but yet he still had a whole in him but he had to fight past that. he noticed the door open but he kept his noise in the book.
Aless yawned softly,pressing a hand to her mouth as she headed to the kitchen. She had fallen asleep in the middle of reading one of her texts books.
Now hungry and in need of caffeine she headed downstairs. The kitchen door was closed,but that didn't stop her. Yawning again she headed into the kitchen.
Opening her eyes she noticed that someone was already in the kitchen. "Oh!"she blinked,backing up slightly in surprise
"hey" max smiled and looked up. he did not say much as he reached for his drink. he looked around he was the only one here. his mind was not on what he was doing his hand knocked over his boiling coffee. most people would of been burned but max's body just registered the wetness. Steam floated of his hand as he stood up and went to get a towel to clean up the mess.
"god i cant belive i did that." he started to clean the coffee off the table. "sorry if you came for coffee i will put some more on." he smiled as he picked the jug up and started to fill it.
"It's alright,it happens to everyone"She said softly,smiling to him as she lifted a hand to the small amount of liquid that had dripped onto the floor. The brown colored beads popped up before darting into the sink.
As he remade the coffee Aless decided she'd handle the snacks. Humming softly to herself she grabbed some apples out of the fridge and started to slice them up.
"Apples and peanut butter okay with you? Or would you rather something else?"
"foods food." come to think of it max had not eaten to day not that he needed to. "i don't think i have seen you around." there had been a few new arrival over the last few mouths and he was glad of that some of them blamed him. he knew Scott held a grudge and he was the head of the x men so that would not do .
"I am Max Smith." he held his hand out for her it was still hot from the coffee but as far as max new it was fine.
"Alessandra Grimm,just Aless please"She said happily,taking his hand to shake. When she felt the heat of the liquid she gasp."That has to hurt"She said startled,grabbing a hand towel and drying his hand off with it.
"What didn't you say that it had spilled on your hand? If it was any hotter it could cause damage to your hand!" She patted the hand softly with the towel before turning it over,plam down.
She checked over the skin for any deep red marks or blisters that could've formed in the short time since he spilled his coffee. Really,men were so stubborn
"simple i did not feel it its my power." his hand had not even a mark on it apart from the heat and the wetness there was nothing not even a red mark. "my body is in a status lock nothing can change it, I don't feel pain my hair never grows nor dose my nails or any part of me. here watch." max liked this trick he done it a few times now the first time it was well scary. He picked up a knife and placed his hand on the table. quickly he drove the blade down. straight on to its hand and it bent . he looked at the bent knife and slowly started to unbend it and place it back.
Truth be told he would of loved it to of hurt he missed it because with that fear come the rush that he hungered. The only time he felt it now was when he was with Amara. he had been spending a lot of time with her in the med bay of late. the only time he left was for classes and thats because she yelled at him.
"Oh"Aless said,taking the dish towel from his hand"Well I can see some up and downs."She murmmered to herself,watching him take the knife. When he jammed it into his hand a small scream had stuck in her throat.
"Okay....please,never do that again"She said as he put the blade away. Aless pressed a hand to her heart slightly"You'll give me a heartattack"
Lifting a hand she pulled the coffee from the dish towel,arching the liquid into the sink"Me,I'm an elemental controlist,water based"
"much cooler than mine. all though falling out of a plane is well a lot more dull now than it use to be. Yeah more downside than up. I just cant get rid of this stubble from my face." it was a joke he hated his powers he felt less each day and he was scared that one day he would be dead inside just a body unable to feel or understand the world around him. he knew he was going to outlive every one he cared about and that was going to be tough.
"so have you been here long?" it was a clear chaneg of subject and he hated his powers that had taken far to much away from him for him to be happy about talking about the subject.
"The coolness rating of our powers all depends on who's doing the rating"She said softly,shrugging her shoulders. Folding the now dry towel and hanging it back on the oven door she smiled brightly.
"I've been here for a few years now,I think three or four. I haven't really kept a count"She laughed,hiding her smile behind her hand. It was true,after taking off from her own home she stopped counting the years.
"How about you? Have you been at the school long?"
"ever since just after professor Xavier kidnapping. So only about several mouths really. it dose not seam that bad and at least i can keep studying here my powers made me drop out of school because i did not want to hurt any one. since i been here i found ways to control my strength crushing every bone in some one hand is not good. "
He moved back to his chair and looked at his notes lucky his notes were safe and he did not need to redo them. "i just glad i get time to study and do the training" he was not going to quit or change he was not going to give that bastard another win over him no mater what it took. the fact he could not be hurt or tired down he had an advantage over him in that respect.
"Always good"She laughed softly,waving a hand to his books. It was the truth,she was rather fond of the fact that the students here could continue on with their studies rather than having to quite school.
"No one from my school or family found out about me. I took off the day my powers showed"Her smiled turned slightly sad as she looked down at her hands"They probably think I'm dead by now"
"yeah i really did not have a choice i found out about my powers when i nearly died so its not like i could do much about it lucky no one was around. I was sky diving and i had a failed open. Hitting the ground at the speed i was going i should of died or at the best broken every bone in my body. but nothing i stood up and walked away. I just said my shoot opened and i got tangled in the trees or some thing like that. "
he shrugged as mentioned parents "my father is the head of local Anti mutant group so i don't talk to them at all not that they know and the worst they can do is disown me. he could beat me up and hell i would let him not like its going to do anything."
"Ah"Aless said,blushing softly. She knew that when it came to finding out about her powers and her family Aless had one of the easiest times. She fiddled slightly with the edge of her lace dress.
"At least here we all have some form of togetherness. If your father did try to take further actions there will be people at your side trying to stop him"
"Its not like he could do much to hurt me at all. I just wish life was not like this but hey life like that." if truth be told he wished he could lose his powers he hated them. he would of killed to get rid of them if it was not for Amara that he would of felt a lot worse. "so what classes are you taking at the moment i am finessing my collage course to be a gym teacher and i taking a couple of mutant bassed classes. i must say they are strange."
