Welcome!

[Angel]

Warren was behind one of the bushes. he was trying out a new harnes that he had made to keep his wings from being noticed. he wasn't used to being at the school yet. he needed some time away from the place.

only problem was, his wings liked being un-cramped for once. they wouldn't fold into the harness. so he was hideing so that he wouldn't be seen from the road, and was fighting with them to get them down, but withut hurting them in anyway.

which was a task that was funny to watch.

[Quartz]

Quartz was slowly striding along on her own around the school. Schiving off of class - and probably getting in huge trouble for it later - just for the fun of it. Hey, who said a girl could not schive off once in awhile. Besides, no one she knew personally really cared about her enough to bug her about it beyond maybe Professor X. And that was only when they came in contact enough to somehow have one of those ever rare student - role model - teacher conversations.

All the same, the fifteen-year-old girl could not help but here something of a struggle as she strode along the front lawn in her faded blue jeans. Her dark blue shirt was sleeveless and the cloud seemed to beat at her shoulders slightly - though that was probably just because she was use to have some type of sleeves on her. Her now dark blue eyes watched as the winged boy struggled into something of a harness.

By the looks of it, the mechanism would hide his wings, but the wings themselves seemed to wish to be free. The young lady did not know if she could help - since she did not know how the hell to work the harness thingamajigger that the boy was trying to put on - but she thought that she might as well try.

"Hey!" She called as she rushed over while her black converse sneakers plodded somewhat noisily on the grass and she came at him from the front. The girl was soon right in front of the winged teen and she smiled up at him. "Need some help, do you?" But before Quartz could allow him to answer, she had weaved her way around to his back as the wheels in his mind began to roll. It took about five minutes of struggling and feelings of some cluelessness, but she was finally able to help the boy into the harness.

"That better?" She said as she took a few steps around and looked up at the boy curiously, wondering what his reaction was.

[Angel]

Warren felt hands on his wings, and they imeadiatly jerked. turning, he tried to find the culpret, only to find that they were spinning arund with him. and he couldn't look over his shoulder for odvious reasons... whoever it was kept grabbing at them, pulling and tugging.

it kinda hurt. after a moment, the wings stopped fighting, adn lay still.

what the...?

spinning around when they asked if it was better, he skittered backwards, and scanned the person from top to bottem and back again. if they wanted to attack, there was nothing he could do now, he was grounded. never, in all his life, had he ever felt more helpless.

but they had gotten his wings in their place.

"who are - how did - what....?"

'CALM DOWN!' he screamed at himself. so he did, with much dificulty.

"alright, first off, who the hell are you?!"

he was never more subtal in his life....

[Quartz]

"who are - how did - what....?"

The young winged man seemed to be somewhat confused and frustrated as he said this - or, at least, as Thale obsessed with her large, innocent looking blue-green eyes. Unfortunately, Quartz could not answer any one of his questions, mainly due to the fact that he did not finish saying any of them so she would probably answer the question - whatever it may be - incorrectly or inaccurately.

"alright, first off, who the hell are you?!"

"I'm Thalia Seruma... But most just call me Quartz." The fifteen-year-old said as a light smile graced her pale pink lips and she looked up at him, observing his somewhat curly, blonde hair and lean build. He looked kind of cute, but, by his reaction, she doubted that anything would happen and that if it did that she might be in trouble due to the fact that she was a student and he was most likely an X-Man far older than she was.

[Angel]

Quartz? Interesting name.

"Um, good to met you... Quartz." Shouldn't she be in class?

"Now, for the second question. How did you do that?" He pointed at his wings. If he couldn't controle them, and they were his, how did she manage it?

[Quartz]

"Um, good to met you... Quartz."

Now, Quartz would have said 'nice to meet you too'. But, technically, meeting someone else meant that you knew their name because they told you their name. So, technically, Thalia did not know anything about the young man standing before her. Except that his power was probably to fly since he had huge wings growing out of his back.

"Now, for the second question. How did you do that?"

"Oh, it's very easy. My mind just works in a way that's it's easy to work out puzzles and such. Your harness thing..." Quartz said, fading out for a moment, feeling somewhat ridiculous that she was now answering this question as if it were something almost completely and utterly normal to answer for her. Wondering what he would think... Shove it. He's an X-Man and a good few years older than you at least. Nothing can happen. So shove it. She pressed her mind as she plugged on, "It's like a puzzle to me. It was really a lot of fun to figure out..." Then, thinking that he might figure this to be her power, she added, "But, no, it isn't my power. It's just the way my mind works."

[Angel]

"i see. then, what is your power? i'm afraid mine is a bit odvious."

he thought for a second, replying everything in his mind.

"hmm... i seem to have neglected my maners. my name is Warren. though, i do belive that i have been given the name Angel."

[Quartz]

"i see. then, what is your power? i'm afraid mine is a bit odvious."

"Your power..." Thale replied, just restating something already thought - and now said - "Yes, it is a bit obvious." Her eyes lingered over the man's harnessed wings for a moment before her mind moved onto his question. Quartz took a moment on how to phrase her power. It wasn't just freezing or melting things. It was changing their temperature to that low or that high that would make them freeze or melt. "I can change the temperature of things I touch." Quartz said, "Water's the most fun, though. It's interesting to see the liquid change to ice."

"hmm... i seem to have neglected my maners. my name is Warren. though, i do belive that i have been given the name Angel."

"Angel?" Quartz asked as a rhetorical question. Again, rhetorical. But she liked to say the names of the people she met - especially if she liked the name itself. Plus, her mind was sure she had heard the name somewhere - but she was not sure where exactly. Hmm... it would take sometime, but she would remember.... eventually. "Hmmm... I like it."

[Angel]

Angel looked her over again. change temproture? that could be dangourous. she was an interesting girl, that was for sure.

"that's quite an ability. you can controle it, right?" if not, she was never going to touch his wings again. he didnt' want his feathers to freeze off or melt. that would hurt!
