Cy took her hand to keep her from ripping anything out. "What do you mean? What changed?" He wondered if he could get any answers from her, since the others weren't telling him anything.

"Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." (OOC)
"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." "Everything it feels like." Sally muttered and looked down, "All because I wanted to go to that dumb summer camp last year." She added.

Cy remembered what his aunt had said about the camp. "What happened at summer camp?" He asked softly, eyebrows meeting at the middle. Though he wasn't sure what it had to do with anything, it seemed to be a part of the mystery, so it was a place to start.

"Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." (OOC)
"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." "It's a really fancy science themed camp and there were stories about something happening to some of the kids that would go and I wanted to go mainly because of my interest of science but the thought of a mystery to be solved was also interesting." sally started to explain and only paused to take a deep breath. "When we got there everything seemed normal and I wasn't finding a clue of the rumors until one night I woke up to notice one of the people in my cabin was getting taken by some of the scientist that were teaching at the camp. I went back to sleep mainly because I was scared of what might happen." She said, pausing again though this time because the next part still scared her. "When I woke the person was back but they felt sick that morning but by after noon they were fine. I talked to Jackson about it and he called me dumb for want to come to a place where I knew strange things happened and I just someone over heard me talking to him or something because that night they came into the cabin and took me. I mean I always have been scared of needled but that night just made it all worse. And whatever they did changed Jackson and me. Like we can do the same thing but he's better with the medal while I'm better with the fire... Most of the time." She muttered, feeling a little better now having told someone about what had happened. "But you can't tell my mom or your dad about any of that. My mom is looking for someone to blame about Jackson's increase of violence. She is looking for a reason to sue Apex Spire Syntech." She added quickly.

Cy was stunned beyond words. A year prior, and he would have doubted the story. Maybe blamed it on sleep paralysis or a particularly rough nightmare. Now... A shiver traveled up his spine and he grimaced involuntarily. Had his cousins really been experimented on? "You said... metal and fire? What did you mean by that?" His eyebrows drew together and his mouth formed a pensive frown. At least he was finally getting somewhere with answers. No doubt that his dad and aunt would try to ask him about the camp, but he didn't feel obliged to tell them much, since they'd been trying to keep him in the dark.

"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." Sally closed her eyes concintrating on her hand that Cy was still holding and started raising the heat of her hand. Once she got the feeling of heat going to her hand she opened her eyes which were again glowing orange.

Skaldi listened but appeared confused by something he said. "Trail mix...? Is that some kind of food?" She asked curiously. The young girl had spent part of the day foraging in the forest, and had managed to amass a collection of berries, figs, wild tubers and truffles. This was typically the sort of things she ate, with the addition of the occasional fruits, vegetables and nuts that she found or was offered. (A couple of role-players had characters that were actually gonna adopt her, but then they ended up leaving the RP XD) Cy's expression was apologetic. He hadn't intended for that to happen, even though it probably worked well in his cousin's favor. As the doors to the ambulance opened, Cy quickly moved hopped out and moved aside so that he wouldn't be in anyone's way. Hopefully his dad and aunt would be there soon.By the time Milo had reached the doors to the museum again, the place had been firmly locked up. His eyes narrowed. Cupping his hands around his eyes, he peered in through the glass. Laser grids. Well, that's not happening. They'd probably cut right through it. Shaking his head, as he hadn't been completely serious about taking anything from the museum, he turned and stalked off with his hands in his pockets. It was getting late and his grandmother would no doubt be missing him. Not that he cared. Unless that meant his annoying twin sister would be sent to collect him. Scowling to himself, he hurried away to another part of the city. Ash sighed "Forgot youre not from around here. There's a lot you dont know" he said "Trail mix is just granola which is basically just oats, dried fruits, nuts, and sometimes chocolate depending on the type of trail mix you get. It's a pretty comon snack and has some pretty good nutritional value most of the time. Would have gotten you a few bags of it if I didn't get another gun pulled on me" (lol that kinda sucks though)

It wasn't immediately clear what was happening, and Cy frowned at her. "W-" Upon catching sight of his cousin's eyes, his own enlarged and he took an involuntary step backward. "Uh, what... What's going on? How..." He shook his head, not even sure what to say. He'd saw powers before, but he wasn't expecting his cousin to have any.

"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." "I'm just directing heat to my hand." Sally muttered and closed her eyes again direction her attention to her other hand and tried to just make a small medal coin but ended up with a medal spiked ball. When she opened her eyes this time they weren't glowing but they were a steel grey color.

(Yeah, seriously XD BTW guys, Skaldi is still available for adoption. She's up to date on her shots and everything! ) "Oh..." As it dawned on her what else Ash had said, Skaldi's brown eyes went wide. "Someone tried to shoot again? Are you alright??" Her eyes were searching, as though expecting to see more injuries. This was part of the reason she normally stayed in the forest. Nobody had ever really given her trouble herself, but she'd watched bystanders get shot by stray bullets. That was one thing her powers couldn't protect her from. She could one of them to hide herself, but that'd make her even more of a target if nobody could see her. "So... you can control heat and metal... But where did the metal come from?" Cy asked curiously. In all of the comics and movies, people that controlled metal had to manipulate already existing metal. The only other alternative his scientific mind could come up with was the iron in one's blood, and that would take a lot of that trace element to produce anything substantial and visible.( Cy started singing 'I'm a Believer' from Smash Mouth.)

(if ash manages to get a home and a job then he may actually adopt her XD )
Ash lifted his arms a little to show that he was unharmed "For some reason another human decided to tackle the gunman before he could shoot me. Turned out said gunman was his brother and he must have realized that I wasn't an ordinary wolf. He didn't seem too surprised to see me like this. We did talk for a little bit and I found out this city has a lot of odd looking people where we could possibly blend in" he said

(Wouldn't surprise me XD She'd be comfortable with almost anyone, as long as they could accept her in return. Probably more comfortable with someone that wasn't a normal human, though. So, pretty much anyone in the RP? lol)
Skaldi's mouth formed a silent 'oh' at Ash's explanation. "I'm glad he did that... and he was right." She nodded to the part about the strange inhabitants of the city. "I hide my ears and tail, but just so I don't have to answer so many questions everywhere I go. Humans are... curious." Skaldi plucked some sort of vegetable from her pile of food and held it over the fire to roast it, not bothering to keep her hands from getting too close. "I have food too." The girl quietly added, smiling. She'd learned over the years how to forage, and how to tell if something was edible or not. She was quite good at it.
(I've been laughing too XD but oh dear... yeah, I've heard they're awful. Who is Akira?)

"Weird..." Cy wished he knew more about how her power worked. It was hard enough to accept that there were such things in existence, but it frustrated him to no means when he didn't understand how something worked. He'd bugged Karma about a bunch of things after finding out who it was, and specifically wanted to know how the void functioned, as well as how Karma could keep people from seeing them sometimes. It was a conundrum to his brain. Sally's hand nearly slipped out of his grasp and he got a better grip. "Why don't I call my dad, and ask where they're at?"

yeah sounds like she'd be comfortable with everyone lol)
Ash nodded "You're damn right about them being curious or rather I think nosy is the better word for it. They never learn to mind their own business and I've seen people get hurt or killed because of it" he said before noticing the food she had gathered "Guess my gut instinct was right about you being vegetarian then. I feel even worse for not getting you something to eat now."

That is why I didn't want them to do it in the ambulance." Sally said softly and jumped when there was a knock at the door.

(Akira is a normal(haha bet) mother of Corona, her adopted child.
She is completely normal. Sheโs in her 30s, and was the previous holder of the green crystal that Holly.
Um...stole during Worlds Collide.
Hint hint on the normal part.)

Skaldi lightly shrugged about people being nosy. It was preferable to fear and hatred, as she'd saw humans react to things before. Normal people tended to fear the unknown, and fear produced hate, and hatred violence. Even her young mind understood that. She was trusting, but only to a degree, and less so with ordinary humans. She shook her head at the apology. "No, no. It's alright. I have food to eat." The girl reassured with a smile. When the vegetable was sufficiently roasted, she pulled it from the fire with her bare hand and took a bite out of it. "I don't eat animals, because... animals are nice and they don't like being eaten." She added, hinting at another of her abilities.
(That would be interesting. I could almost see him as some kind of anti-hero.)
Cy was just about to answer, when the knock startled him and he turned. "Yeah? Who's there?" He called out, thinking it a doctor or something. The distraction was welcome, as he wasn't sure how to handle Sally right then.
(XD Oh... lol, yeah. As I said, Skaldi is more comfortable with non-normal people, but I got what you're saying. X3)

"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." "I'm your nurse. The paramedic from the ambulance didn't write down what you were brought in for so I need to do a quick physical to get you the proper help." A voice said from the other side of the door.
Sally groaned knowing how this was going to go. They would see that the computer wasn't reading her body temperature, pulse, or blood pressure and that would lead to the reader being placed back on her finger and everyone seeing just how high her body temperature was.

"Yeah I'm sure they don't and it's not like I enjoy killing animals, rather it's more the hunt that I find enjoyable. Though if animals ween't killed there would be overpopulation of every animal which would negatively affect the ecosystem. Animals like rabbits and other animals lower on the food chain would end up causing a food shortage and force the animals to move out to find other food or die regardless. Then the animals that hunted them would lose their food sources and it will just keep going like that until everything collapses. But why do you care so much for animals? Do you have some type of attunement to nature?" Ash asked curiously "I've never gotten why people choose not to eat meat especially when it can taste so good"
(yeah i was thinking of that. Basically he'd do anything to get the bad guys even break some rules if he had to)

(I could think of a lot of other names, but nah... XD)
Cy turned to the nurse without letting go of his cousin's hand. With his back to Sally, he gestured for her to be still and subtly slipped on the temperature reader onto his own finger, then hid it beneath Sally's hand. He still wouldn't let her remove the IV, but at least the doctors wouldn't be able to see her abnormally high temp. "They didn't tell you she'd been stabbed?" He asked with a scowl. Some doctors these were...
Skaldi flinched and averted her eyes at the elaborate explanation. "I know all that... I know meat-eaters are important... and I don't mind when other people eat meat. I just don't eat it, b-because I don't want to hunt. I... I can hear the animals when they talk. I know what they say. It makes me feel bad when I see them, hear them... hunted." She admitted, her eyes glistening. "I have animal friends, and I don't mind eating plants. I know some have to hunt. I just don't want to see or hear it. I don't eat meat because I would feel bad about it." The girl explained. Not many people agreed with her sentiments, but she'd come to expect and accept it. Animal communication seemed to be rare, even among her people, and not something that most could properly understand. She guessed it would be harder for anyone to kill something that was plainly pleading for its life.

"In the back." Cy answered simply, frowning. "She bled a lot and they put an IV in, but haven't done anything else. Like, seriously--" He visibly flinched upon hearing himself use that accursed word like his dad.
(I always intended for Skaldi to be innocent, and sweet and cute X3 She's got this really big back story, and a rare and interesting genetic issue, but I haven't got to really delve into any of that yet.)
