There was so much flying through her head. Most of it pain. Yet through the haze she heard a steady voice. A voice that was calm and not shoving itself down her throat. She locked onto it hesitantly. It was… speaking to her? What did he say? Telepath?

It all became strikingly clear then. It explained everything. It wasn’t her healing gift ripping her apart. God I got to stop this. She fumbled and tried to think. Remembering back to how she control her light. A wall! That should work. I need a wall. Then she focused as best she could. Imagining like she did when she created a wall of light. Instead she crafted one of thought. One that was shaky, and inexperienced, but it was a wall. And with the simple realization and crude defense, a multitude of the voices vanished. Leaving only vague awareness of the ones near her.

She panted and slumped exhaustedly against the ground. Closing her eyes to relish in the ease of the pain. Now it was just a dull ache. Like the ache from a sore tooth.

Alairis sat up and shook her head. Her eyes were unfocused and everything was a blur. A new power. God, I wasn’t expecting that. Telepath. She shook her head in disbelief.

When the girl seemingly got control of herself, Phil also slumped down to the ground-he wasn't aware of just how much stress was being exerted on him until it went away-when it did, he felt weak and exhausted, like he just got done running a marathon. A dull throb in the back of his head threatened to turn into a headache, and when he noticed it, it did just that.

Phil wiped his face again, getting rid of the blood again. He chuckled and looked up at the girl-this mental power stuff was dangerous. "I'm Za...well, you could learn my real name if you wanted to...no point in hiding it. I'm Phil. I don't think I ever got your name."

Ben ran up beside Phil, telling him in hushed tones that it was time to go-there was a problem in the city. Phil nodded as he prepared to get back up again-he was quickly recovering, and was pretty confident that he could fight just fine if something came up.

"This is Ben, and that guy over there is Matt." Ben sighed and spoke up. "Will you hurry up? She's fine, the city's not, we gotta go!

Alairis wasn’t entirely sure what to make of yet another mess she’d gotten herself into. This time she’d exposed herself with a power without her mask. One that obviously could do some damage. But he said he was an empath? She told herself.

She felt really guilty and ashamed that she’d caught him up in her troubles. Even if he did help her out. “I’m…I’m.” she hesitated. “I’m Alairis.” She said finally after he admitted his own name and that of his friends. “Sorry.” She said, meaning for the whole horrible episode.

Climbing to her feet she was a bit shaky, but at least the wall seemed to be holding for now. She wanted to go home and rest quite badly. “Thank you.” She said and stepped back. Clearly allowing them to head off on their ‘mission’.

"Alairis?...oh, it's no trouble, glad to help."

"Except we've gotta go. C'mon."

With the raw emotions out of his head, and with his head quickly recovering from the experience, Phil suddenly realized what Ben was talking about. He climbed to his feet and started running towards Matt's car, waving goodbye to the second other special he met in the past two days.

"Seeya Ali!"

The doors to the impala all opened before the three boys reached it. Matt obviously got in the driver's seat, Ben got shotgun and Phil nearly dived into the backseat. No sooner than the doors closed, the car started up and started kicking up sand from it's back tires, peeling out of the baseball field and onto the road that led to it. The three were on their way to town, where a robbery seemed to be taking place at a jewelry store.

She watched them take off with tired curiosity. Seeing the doors open pretty much by themselves. One of them’s got some other power too. She noted.

“Ali?” Alairis wasn’t sure if she liked them skipping to a nick-name so quickly. Then she shrugged. Doesn’t matter.

Alairis turned and started on her way home. Keeping a tight hold of that flimsy shield while she did so. She sure as hell didn’t want to repeat what happened a few moments ago.

OOC: Re-entry Again. Last post in this thread though.

The day after the situation at the jewelry store, Phil could be found mostly laying about in his house, relaxing after a day's hard work. He hadn't even bothered to get dressed today, and was lounging about in his boxers. He was watching a particularly amazing re-run of Scrubs when Ben and Matt burst in through the front door.

"Umm...hi?"

Ben made a beeline to Phil's room without so much as a "how do you do" and came back with clothes. He dropped everything on Phil and walked into the kitchen. Matt followed him there, and Phil could hear the pair rooting through his fridge as he hastily got dressed.

"We've got something awesome to show you. Hurry up!...I didn't know you ordered chinese yesterday!" Phil's eyes got wide and he pulled on his clothes, using his power to do it all simultaneously. He ran to the kitchen when he was fully dressed, desperate to save his meal-it was too late. There was Ben, finishing what was left of Phil's spicy chicken.

"I...that...but..."

Ben tossed the now empty container on the counter and walked past Phil, grasping him by the shoulder in the process. He'd lead Phil to Matt's car, with Phil deciding to walk rather than be dragged about halfway out the door. Matt came out soon after, and everyone took their normal spots in the car. Phil mentally closed and locked his door as they pulled out of the driveway and started heading to the less populated, more industrious part of Uptown.

"So...where are we going?"

"The Batcave."

"The Batcave?"

"The Batcave."

The trio would take about 15 minutes to reach their destination-and when they pulled up, Phil decided quite wholeheartedly that he was NOT staring at the Batcave. Matt had driven them to an old, average-sized warehouse, one that had been abandoned for the past few years. The driveway led to an underground parking garage. The three exited their vehicle and looked around-for Matt and Ben, it was a "has anything changed" look, while for Phil it was a "wtf?" look. Matt and Ben led the way to a door-and Matt pulled out a key. Wait...what?

Matt opened the door to the warehouse and he and Ben stepped inside. Not to be left alone, Phil followed. What he saw when he got inside the warehouse...was not very spectacular. It was empty. Well, mostly. In one corner, there were three beanbag chairs, a tv, and an Xbox 360, complete with 4 controllers. There was also a computer a bit behind the chairs.

"Ok guys, seriously-what is this?"

Ben ran out into the center of the room and held his arms out, as if he were presenting the place. "I already told you-the Batcave."

Matt walked up from behind Phil, a proud look on his face. "It's still gonna need a bit of work...but whaddaya think? Cool, huh? It's ours."

"What?"

Ben walked back to the pair, also obviously proud. Phil could feel the excitement coming from both of his companions, and couldn't help but feel pretty awesome as well. "Matt bought this place. Got if for a pretty awesome price too. The landlord's apparently his uncle. Anyways, this place is ours now. Sorta like a base of operations. We figured it wasn't very safe using each other's houses and the baseball field any more, not after that Lantern guy followed us back to your house and after that chick yesterday just stumbled across us."

"This way, we don't really have to be careful about your power anymore. At least, not while we're here. And with a few adjustments, we should have this place up and running-and hopefully, a bit less empty-in no time. The garage we pulled into downstairs-the entrance has a door, but it's broken. We figured that you could at least force it to work while you're here, so that works. If worse comes to worse...we could always call the Lantern. He'd probably be upset with us for calling over fixing a door, but even with my money, we're still operating under limited resources...if you can't make certain things work, his assistance might be useful, yano?"

Now that he knew what this place was, the awesomeness of it was finally experienced firsthand by Phil. "Oh wow...this is ours? I...wow. But yea...let's try to avoid calling the Lantern in for this. He's a hero, not a repairman. We can get this place working ourselves. I think."

-EXIT and this thread is done. Whoo!-
