Matt was in the library, finishing up on reading a book about mutations. He wanted to know about his power as much as possible. If he could ever touch someone without absorbing their power. He then shifted his thoughts to the girl he met when he first arrived here. Her name, Pandora. He remembered her eyes, those sweet and sad eyes. He wanted to know more about her. But since her learned of her power, he couldn't.
He didn't think he could control a power like that. To bend reality itself. He didn't even know how such a power was possible. He was stuck between the choice of wanting to be with her and consequently absorbing her power, or staying clear of her and being safe. He didn't know what to do.
He took out his painkillers and took some. This was the only way his telepathy could be turned off. At least until he could practise controlling it.

"Oh hello there," said Pandora. "Your name is Matt, right?" Entering the library, she spotted the new student. She had remembered him from their earlier encounter. They hadn't talked much, but he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. And from what he had said, it sounded like he might be accepting of her despite her powers.

Oh... Hi. Yeah, that's me. And you're Alice, right?" Matt said, suddenly turning around when Pandora came to him.
"So... You're here to like, study or something?" Matt said, mentally slapping himself as he thought to himself,
You idiot! Is that the best you can come up with? Come on, man! Man up already! He thought as helooked at Pandora, smiling casually.

Lucas walked into the library with his brother, Markus. They had heard that Matt was last here and decided to look there. He then looked ahead and saw a familiar kid. He smiled as he dudged Markus and crept up behind Matt and picked him up, along with Markus and put him into a choke-hold.
"Alright asshole, don't move or I'll tell your girlfriend about the time you puked in front of the whole school!" Lucas joked as he and Markus held Matt.

Markus walked in with Lucas and found their brother sitting with an attractive girl.
"Bout time he got some action, huh?" Markus whispered to Lucas as he crept up with Lucas and held Matt up with him. He looked at what looked like his girlfriend and said,
"How you going. Markus Wilson. You keeping my brother out of trouble?" He asked as he used his knuckles to scrape against Matt's head.

Matt was sudden;y hoisted up into the air by two individuals and after hearing their voices, suddenly blasted the two away with a telekinetic blast. He fell to the floor, and noticed his hands were on fire.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Matt said as the flames extinguished and he turned around to see,
"Markus? Lucas! BROS!" Matt screamed as he jumped on his brothers and hugged them.
"Alice, these are my idiot brothers! This is Markus and Lucas. Oh you guys!" Matt said as he hugged his brothers and noticed that the chairs around him were levitating.
"What the... Wait. You guys... Have powers?!" Matt said as he stepped back and looked at his hands. The flames were back, but much smaller. The room also had a slight tremor to it and the bottle of water he had in his backpack, burst out, swirling around him. He felt a little dizzy. Two powerful abilities absorbed at once was a bit too much for him.
The chairs and water fell to the floor and the flames and tremors stopped and Matt sat back in his chair, sweating a little as his body adjusted to the abilities.
"So... What brings you guys here?" Matt asked as he looked to Pandora.
"Sorry, they're a little bit excited." He said as he thought to himself,
Great! Now she thinks I'm a freak that's part of a freak family. Thanks bros, that's really helping!

Pandora blushed at the mention of being Matt's girlfriend. Being shy, she was quite easily embarrassed, and she had already had her heart set on Tyler. She had no idea that Matt had feelings for her. She just assumed that the brothers had seen their sibling with a female and had some crazy ideas in their heads.
She watched the scene unfold with a combination of awe and confusion. She wasn't really sure what the history was between the brothers, but she could see the powers were being absorbed.
"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah... I'll be fine." Matt said as he sat down on the table, noticing the glass moving around on the table and the water in it swirling around. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on stopping it. After a minute, it had stopped and he looked to Pandora, seeing his brothers lying away from on the floor still. He took the chance to say,
"So... You uh, doing anything later on today?" He asked.

"No, I'm doing not anything," she replied honestly. She didn't have any more classes for today, so her schedule was open. She wondered if Matt was asking her to hang out. It might be nice. She could use more friends. Pandora was a pretty naive girl, and she didn't really have a very high self-esteem. She didn't really expect that anyone would really want to go out with her. Personally, she thought she was pretty plain-looking and had a boring personality, the shy girl that nobody would want.

"Great!" Matt said as he put his hand onto Pandora's shoulder, not making any skin contact and teleported himself and her outside.
"You see, we can pretty much go wherever you want? Lunch in Paris? Dinner in Moscow? The world is our oyster. Speaking of which, don't order those they taste horrible!" Matt joked as he looked into Pandora's eyes.
He was actually hanging out with her now. Without his brothers there to embrass him this time, he hoped that Pandora would like him, just as much as he liked her.

"Whoa," said Pandora. She certainly wasn't expecting the sudden shift in scenery. As she adjusted to the change, she thought about where they should go next. "Well, if you don't mind, there's this nice place near Rockville, Indiana called Mom and Pop's 24-Hour Diner that serves a really good cheeseburger. I know it's not exotic like Paris or Russia, but I kind of miss being home."

"Um, ok. I know what you mean." Matt said, his own home resonating in his mind.
"Hmm... Cheeseburgers. My favorite." Matt said as he patted his stomach and licked his lips.
"Um, do you have a picture? I need to picture the place in my mind." Matt said as he looked into Pandora's eyes. He wanted to be closer to Pandora than just talking. He wanted to touch her skin and feel how nice her hair would be. But the thought of her power frightened him. He couldn't be able to control it.

"Well, I just so happen to have picture of my old friends and I there in my cellphone," said Pandora. She took it out and showed it to him. They were all smiling and making goofy poses, so naive and carefree. She wish she could go back to those innocent times, when things made sense and her sky was still blue.

"Cool." Matt said as he looked at the photo.
"Hehe, that's sweet." He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder again.
"Take a deep breath," He said as the teleportation took place and they appeared in front of the diner.
"Now, how good were those burgers?" Matt joked as he opened the door for Pandora to walk through.
"Me Lady?" He joked as he tilted his head down, offering for her to go in.

"Thank you," she said. She led Matt inside. It was a very homey atmosphere. Black and white glossy photographs of football teams lined the walls. A smiling hostess in a turquoise uniform greeted them.
"Hello," said the hostess. "May I help you?"
"Table for two," said Pandora.
"Right this way." She led them to a cozy table in the corner and gave them menus.
