Kindred Souls (Closed)

[amon_darknight]

Ben smiled as he saw her come out and toss him his badge.

"Sorry I just up and left like that, I didn't mean to offend you and if I did, I am sorry."

He walked with her and looked to her.

"I would love answers, but I would love to know more about you..."

He looked down nervous at what she would say to that. He saw that she walked with a plan in her head, she had an agenda. He liked that in her, just in the short time he has talked with her, he could tell that about her.

"So, how long have you known about your powers?"

 

[Asa]

About 15 years.

She wondered if he would put anything together with that little bit of information as she walked to the little park deep within the neighborhood. Turning around she watched him for a little bit... The little park seemed to hold all of the elements in it... a little pond decorated with some ornate decorative torches... wind chimes trees vine plants flowers... it was all set up so perfectly.

What about me do you want to know

 

[amon_darknight]

He smiled as he looked around at the park, it was a beautiful park, even though it was night, but he could still tell it was a very nice park, a park where kids had fun. He noticed that she was watching him intently, watching for a sign that he was going to try to do something... than he remembered somthing she told him about her powers

She could control the elements... he looked around and saw water, fire, earth clearly.

He took a step back, now he knew why he got an uneasy feeling before... she was ready to silence him if she felt this was a set up...

"Very smart... I see now why you took me here... not that you couldn't jut call some other element elsewhere, here you can harness power from almost everything... Leena, I am not tryng anything... I am just curious."

What could he do to convince her?

"Can we start with, are you seeing anyone?"

He smiled at her.

 

[Asa]

Seeing anyone... No... Why?

She turned around looking through the park.

No trick trap nothing like that just... feel most at home here... always have... Even before my ability revealed itself.

She was waiting for him to answer her question before moving any further into the little sitting park. Reaching a hand however to one of the torches and billowing her fingers over the flame.

 

[amon_darknight]

He smiled and shook his head.

"Again, just curious... Leena, that name is so exotic... I have never heard one like that before."

He than watched her as she put her hand to the flame and Ben was quick to pull her hand back from it.

"Hey... are you ok, what are you doing?"

He looked at her hand and saw nothing was burned. He was relieved.

"Sorry, I didn't want you to get hurt..."

He felt her hand with his as he looked to her, it was soft and gentle.

"Oh sorry..."

He let it go and took a step back.

"You spent a lot of time here huh, like your second home?"

 

[Asa]

More like nearly main home. My full name is Maleena Maxwell. Flames... elements... the don't hurt me.

She smiled at his care anyways. She stood there looking into his eyes for a moment before walking on further around the park.

Next question

 

[amon_darknight]

"Maleena... wow... I like that name."

He smiled and seemed to light up when he said her name, he was surprised when she told him that the elements wouldn't hurt her. That was very interesting, fire, cold, heat, electricity... none of that.

"Man... so none of the elements can harm you, and you control them, I am kind of jealous, all I can do is move things with my mind... I wish I could do some cool stuff like that."

He chuckled a bit.

"Think, there are others out there that can do really cool stuff like you..."

He than had a flash back of what he did to his partner and what he was thinking when his captain was yelling at him. He shook his head, had to get rid of those thoughts.

"How can you control your powers... do you use them often? And sorry to ask a stupid question, but other than fire, water, electricity, and earth, what else can you command and not be hurt by?"

 

[Asa]

Don't know but they tell me the air thins like climbing a mountain around me. Its just as I said before they are defense... .of really a true control thing on my part.

She shrugged and sat down taking a moment to figure out how to word anything else that she might end up telling him.

Trauma seems to be the activator for the.gifts powers whatever you want to call them.

 

[amon_darknight]

He smiled and shook his head. He knew about the trauma thing, it never should have happened.

"So if I sit next to you, the air will be to thin?"

He wanted to be near her, he wanted to hold her. He sat right next to her and waited to see if her defense would come up.

So far... so good.

He looked to her.

"What do you protect this neighborhood from?"

 

[Asa]

All the troubles the cops used to let slip through the cracks. Thats why no one around he re sees anything when the cops always show up. Thats why they are wary of you... because of me.

She smiled a little when he sat down. It wasn't really like her to let people close to her that were not from the neighborhood but strangely this was different. She thought back to one of the times that the "special division" cops arrived and sent away the other cops . It was the first pusher she had ever seen. When the woman tried to get near her she reacted a little more aggressively than she did with most. The woman's associates had to her her away from Leena and Amdo and one of the other "elders" spoke with the older man and the main "cop" of their team and they left her alone after that save for invitations to visit and have people to talk to that understood her. She never chose to take them up on it feeling safer in her area... especially her garden.

Sorry just... thinking.

She realized she had gotten way too silent but shrugged it off.

What else ya wanna know

 

[amon_darknight]

"First off, I would never try and make you do something you didn't want to do, second, these cops, corrupt scum... tell me who they are and I will deal with them. And I will make sure they never step foot back here again..."

He looked to her and determination burned in his eyes as he looked to her.

"I am sorry, am I making you feel uncomfortable?"

He stood up as he looked to her.

"What else do you want to tell me Maleena?"

He shook his head as he pulled out a pack of smokes...

"Its a habit that I just can't kick..."

He took one out and put it to his mouth and lit it up.

"You can tell me anything you want, this is the most company I have had in a long time, I do have to say thank you for that."

 

[Asa]

No not corrupt... they are like us... the group I told you about that is commanded by some Doctor or something... They got rid of your people knowing someone with powers was involved in the situation. They are not that bad just not sure I wanna deal with "therapy" and talking about my powers with some shrink ya know.

She shrugged watching him.

You told me about your powers activating guess I should do the same...

However with that she fell quiet.

 

[amon_darknight]

"Maleena... if these so called others are in the dpt, and you do not like them, than I will not like them either... I just need to know what to do... I am so on the fence."

He looked to her.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want to talk to no shrink either... they are bad news."

He really didn't know what to do, he wanted to stay with her.

"Maleena, I want to stay with you..."

He gulped as he turned away from her, he could not believe he just told her that.

"I am sorry... I don't know what has come over me..."

 

[Asa]

Don't know how I feel about them.

She listened to what he said and bit her lip. She was not sure how to react she had always kept her distance from everyone but then again this guy was different.

My powers "kicked in" when my step dad decided that I needed to be a test subject for something his buddy wanted his help selling. Next thing I knew and half the neighborhood saw was moms favorite plant flipping out the window of the apartment with him in its grip... dead before it hit the ground

 

[amon_darknight]

He heard her story and sighed.

"Why do these powers come out only in a way where we hurt people... I don't get it... we should be helping people or do something more proactive with our powers... just imagine... well not you Maleena, at least you protect people with yours and th people here respect and accept you... if the deparment found out I had a power I would be a test subject..."

He sighed as he looked to a flower that was growing in the grass.

"I wonder who planted that sole flower in the grass here. I hope no one steps on it."

 

[Asa]

I didn't feel like having whatever drug his buddy more than likely stole from some dealer tested on me so they died. Self defense plain and simple.

She looked to the flower and shrugged.

It grows there every year

 

[amon_darknight]

"They? Did you take your father get taken out to?"

She was a very interesting person, very beautiful as well. He wondered what it would be like to make out with her...

Stop that...

"So what else do you do around here, other than a protector?"

He was staring at her, he could not believe she was this beautiful. He walked up behind her and looked over her.

"That flower has a good chance of being picked for a lovely lady..."

He walked over to it and carefully picked it, it was a purple flower of some sort and it had a sweet smell to it. He than walked back to her and handed it to her.

"Here you go Maleena, a beauitful flower for a beautful woman."

He smiled brightly at her.

 

[Asa]

Moms little tree that she had always kept sitting in the corner grabbed my step dad and his buddy and while they was fighting to get out of its grasp they went out the window. LIke when I flipped out that I had done that the tree flipped too... right out the window with them still tangled in it.

Nothing much really just help out here and there...

She smiled at the flower and at his words. She bit her lip and took the flower not sure what to make of his attentions.

 

[amon_darknight]

Ben smiled as he saw her bite her lip at the gesture of the flower. She was so cute it wasn't funny. But at the same time she was deadly, compared to his abilities, she was a Goddess and Ben was a simple acolyte.

"Well I am sorry for what hadhppened, but they should have known better than to play with fire. I almost lost control today with my captain, he was yelling at me and I fet that itching, I wanted to hurt him, but I held myself back... I do not like not having control... especially whn it is a killer that can come out..."

Ben sighed as thoughts flooded his mind, he did not know what to do here, he wanted to stay with Maleena, but he was a cop. He would not betray her. He would just make up some kind of story about the incident tonight. He would make sure they were... she was protected.

"Maleena, I do not know what to do... where do we go now, what do we do now... I mean there is no great evil to fight against, this is not a comic book story... this is not a story of the damsel in distress or anything..."

He took a long drag of his smoke as he thought.

 

[Asa]

That Doc who works with the special agents like us... He counsels people like us about their powers and stuff. They tend to deal with cases involving people like us... Maybe helping them would not be a bad idea?

She was not sure what to do she was just glad that she was not alone in not really understanding all of this. Someone else was still struggling with this power thing. She stared at the flower and smiled absently for a moment. She wanted to make it grow... to help it live longer but she didn't know how.

 

[amon_darknight]

He watched her as she stared at the flower.

"What's wrong, you don't like it?"

He watched her and wondered what she was thinking, did she want him to stick around or did she want him to leave?

"Helping othes with powers, how could we help them and help them with what? Seeing a doctor seems like a bad idea... but I am willing to what you think is the course of action."

 

[Asa]

She really had no idea what to think or do... she was spiraling mentally as Andorra would call it as the wind picked up a little whipping about chaotic but not dangerous. She looked up to him that strange look to her eyes.

No the flower is nice I... I don't know what to say do or think right now is all. I have never had to really ever deal with one of our kind being so nice or wanting to be around as chaotic of a person like me before.

 

[amon_darknight]

He wanted to try something as she mentioned chaos... he grinned at her as she spoke and he suddenly got right up in her face and he kissed those luscious lips of hers that were begging to be kissed, at first he started slow and he was waiting for her defense to come up and kill him. But he did not feel anything, he just let himself kiss her with a passion he has not felt in a long time for a woman... his lips moved hers as he opened his mouth with hers and let his tongue move in to find hers, a search of passion it was.

Still he was waiting for pain or something...

He would not stop his kiss though, he wanted her to know how he felt for her already in this short amount of time. He wanted her to know the effect she had on him.

He moaned into the kiss her name.

"Maleena..."

 

[Asa]

She started to recoil but something stopped her the chaotic wind seemed to calm after a few moments within the kiss. An almost scared whimper fell from her as she just sat there not sure what to think or do. Then... Her name... What was it about this man... this outsider... this cop... this... being like her... powered... plagued...troubled...different. She didn't know what to do nor did she realize she was slightly pressing into the kiss.

 

[amon_darknight]

Ben just smiled when he felt her kiss back some and he found her tongue with his, it seemed like she was holding back, but she was letting her guard down at the same time. He mashed his tongue with hers as he pulled back to look at her.

"Leena, in this short time I have known you... I have feelings for you. You are an amazing person, I want to lt you know that from an outsiders point of view."

He again took her into his arms and held her.

"I will fight with you."

Her body felt so good against his, he felt the power between them.

"What are you thinking Maleena? Everyone needs someone in there life."

He smiled as he looked into her eyes.
