“ Yeah don’t get your hopes up to much… i don’t exactly like my power. “ She said before sighing. “ Sorry for sounding so dark, it’s just all ive known since i found out about this stupid power. An it’s horrid I can’t sleep,and forget about getting close to people cause god forbid if they have spirits attached.” 

“I feel the same way....” Alex added. “I guess I hope I don’t just get picked next time then...”

Ophelia had gotten bored, and wandered past the arena where two other Deviants were fighting. She had to chuckle as they both seemed to be having a hard time at it, of course she just laughed harder when the other person watching spoke. “ Well you wouldn’t be for long, well if I mastered my skills you wouldn’t be dead for long… if the other Deviant killed you.” 

“Well, I hope you get better by the next round picks, just in case I have to go out there.” Alex tried to joke but it just came out sounding dark.

Baxter was a pacifist by nature, and he’d never made a secret of that. He was a doctor, for God’ sake; he;d dedicated most of his life to helping people feel better. Sure, he’d thought about the military, and he’d gotten in his fair share of scraps when he was a child, but they were all at least comprised of violence against a backdrop of helping people, of saving lives. This was violence for the sake of violence. Or, worse perhaps, showboating and self-preservation. Baxter didn’t like it, didn’t want any part in it. Wincing alongside Alex, he agreed. He had to stay in the very back of the arena, they’d all found, lest his powers take effect, and he wasn’t all that upset about it. “They’re not pulling any punches, are they?” he asked quietly, cataloging their injuries every time he glanced back into the arena.

“They really aren’t...” He answered distracted by the action in front of him. Alex went to stand as one of the Deviants looked like they got seriously hurt. He stopped immediately. He couldn’t do anything to help the way he is now. Instincts were hard to suppress though. “There wasn’t a better way to test our abilities?”

“It’s just…this whole place, the vibe it gives off is not safe for any of us, and we’re all just trying to cope with it.” She reminded him, her smile thinning out. “Even the whole phasing thing, yes. You going through me, and…me going through you…it’s weird…but…what isn’t around here?”

“I know. I wish I could leave but I can’t. Like physically can’t. Cause I can’t open doors half the time.” He tried to joke to lighten the conversation. “Okay... I just wanted to make sure.”

“I haven’t been notified, no. but…really, I could make anybody do anything I wanted in the ring, so I’d watch your attitude if I were you, unless you want you or someone close to you getting hurt.”

“I was just wondering.” He mumbled looking down. Zadrian had already hurt him and people he cared about in a dream. He could only imagine what he could do in real life.

“Good thing I’m not involved or I would be dead right now.” She wrinkles her nose. “I am not made to fight others!”

“Neither am I. I don’t understand why this is the best way to test our powers.” He frowned.

Orion looked to the person beside him, “Lucky you then,” he commented, not too interested in chit chat. The fight was much more fascinating than the stranger. 

Alex was saying it more to himself, not realizing someone was next to him. “Are you fighting then?” He asked

“Well, this place has changed all of us, I think.” Maddie continued to assure him, a soft smile edging across her lips. She only wanted to be there for Sully as much as he had been there for her. “Sul—Of course I would, and I can tell you right now that you’ve never made me feel anything but safe and comfortable, okay?” 

Alex sighed. “I agree.” He smiled at her answer, but he wasn’t sure about it. “Even the whole phasing thing?” He asked. He knew he couldn’t control it, it wasn’t his fault. But he would be uncomfortable if it happened to him.

zadriandougal:

“Maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.” Zadrian chuckled maliciously at the other, looking over to him with a smirk. “I mean, what is it that you really do around here?”

Alex shifted uncomfortably. “Are you fighting this time round?” He asked trying to change the subject. Maybe there was a Deviant that could crush him, or something.

[alex-sully-sullivan-blog]

Alex cringed as he watched the fight between the two Deviants in the arena. “Good thing I wasn’t chosen this round or I would be dead right now.”

“It’s okay to be selfish Sully.” Madeline assured him with a small nod as she nearly reached out to try and pat him on the shoulder before she reeled her hand back in. A soft smile pulled at her lips and she just looked to him. “It’s okay, everything’s gonna be fine. We’ll get through this.”

“I know... I just, I never was, before all this.” He said waving his hand nonchalantly. “It seems wrong.” He shrugged. Alex smiled when she pat his shoulder and he actually felt it. “Okay.” He said more to himself. He looked up at her. “Okay. I’m glad.” He added with a smile. “You would tell me if I ever made you uncomfortable right?” He asked boiling down what he thought went wrong. He wanted to fix the problem before it started.

“So do you kill people with kindness or do you have something a little better up your sleeve?” she didn’t quite get why she kept asking the questions. Curiosity was her best friend in a place like this, especially if she was going to get answers fast. And in it all, she hadn’t entirely minded the view with the answers to these. 

“I wouldn’t know,” she shrugged her shoulders. “I figured the twenty questions had newbie written all over my forehead.”

“Um... neither?” He answered hoping she didn’t think he was one of those egotistical assholes who thought they were better than others just because of their ability.

“I mean the fact that I haven’t seen you before kind of gave it away.” He smiled but didn’t uncross his arms. “I’m Sully.”

Felix would be lying if he said he wasn’t excited for these battle events. Despite the very real threat of bodily harm, he was itching to stretch his wings, as it were, and really test the limits of his ability. There were many things he could do that he simply wasn’t aware of, considering how broad a spectrum he sitting on. To add to that, Felix was feeling cocky–never a good thing for a young, ignorant kid just trying to impress all the wrong people. 

“Ah man, I got this in the frickin’ baaaag,” he hummed happily, reviewing the roster that had been publicly posted. “Yer goin’ down, Spirit. Gonna have to raise yourself from the dead, heheh.” Wearing a grin, Felix looked over at the person standing beside him. “Who you got, ah?”

Alex had been on edge ever since they announce this arena thing. He was in no way ready to fight another deviant when he could barely with a fight against a door. He checked the roster as soon as it was posted, scanning the page for his name. He let out a sigh of relief when it wasn’t on there. “No one.” He answered. “Thank God. I would have died.”

“Then why are you here?” one brow raised over the other. She hadn’t really seen any reason for anyone to be there if they hadn’t thought themselves to be something more. The question wasn’t meant to be cruel, not in the least. It was something she wanted to know though it easily contradicted her first words. “Doesn’t really seem like the place for the meek and humble to pow wow around, does it?”

“I’m uh, Deviant, if that’s what you mean?” He answered. It still didn’t make him special, he couldn’t do anything with it. In all honestly, it made him feel like he was worse. “I guess it depends on the person. There are a few people here with big egos.” He shrugged.

“You’re not so special,” her words were covered in ice, her head tilting to the side slowly. She glanced around for a brief moment before swallowing thickly. “We’re all here for the same reason. The act really won’t help you anymore,” Elle continued on as though she was trying to convince herself rather than the person walking past her. This was supposed to help, and maybe would put a lot of her questions to rest. “Not around here at least.”

Alex was in a funk. He hadn’t made any progress with his ability in weeks. Still suffering with random intangibility. He wander back from another one of his ‘just focus’ sessions wondering wether he or not he want to disappear into the ground. The voice made him stop. He looked around, what she was saying couldn’t have been meant for him, but no one was around. “I don’t think I’m special?”

“Yeah…Zadrian. The kid that can control minds.” She shivered at the thought of him, growing anxious even just thinking about him. As she lifted herself up, she only met his single glance and her expression faltered. “Sorry? For what?” She asked back, leaning over the table slightly to look back at him. Shaking her head, Maddie said, “Sully, look…if this is about…las time we were hanging out…it’s okay. I’m not…” She started stammering, looking for her own words. “I’m fine. We’re fine. At least…I think we are, right?” Sully seemed to be like the only constant support she had around here and she wanted to keep that.

Alex didn’t understand why he would let Zadrian close enough to let him to let him control his mind, but he kept it to himself. “It’s not.” He answered. “I mean actually, it kind of is...” He tried to find the right words “I just... you’re the one that actually lived that dream and I’m more focused on me. Even last time, I was only thinking about I felt... I want to be fine, but I’m selfish...” He wanted everything to be okay, but he didn’t want to bring her down

“I don’t know. It was all….it was Zadrian.” She exhaled, trying to calm her own self down, but have a difficult enough time keeping it all together. Closing her eyes and taking deeper breaths than before, she finally found a place in her own mind as she nodded. “Everything that happened over there wasn’t real though. It couldn’t have been.” She stopped and added, “I need to go.” Standing from the table, she gathered her things and took a look at him. “I’m sorry.”

“Zadrian?” How could Zadrian get him to do that? He barely knew him and didn’t particularly like him. Alex was torn. He knew he shouldn’t want it to be real, but he was so desperate to have control over his abilities a small part of him wished it was.  Her getting up got him out of his own head. “No.” He messed up last time. He wasn’t going to mess up again. “I’m sorry.”
