Unlike the other day, he had been given a little more freedom. They had switched him from the IVs to the pills, and no longer kept him strapped down on the bed, unable to move. He wondered if this was a good sign or not. It was hard to tell. But still, even getting up and moving about was a nice liberty to have back to himself. You never realize

[electrocutesy]

Elle had taken an extra hour getting ready that morning--making sure that her hair was wavy and perfect and just so and that her outfit accentuated her form in ways that would drive any man a little crazy

[specialmonster]

He was jarred out of his thoughts as soon as he heard the door to the cell open. He paused in his steps before turning around to face her, a grin spreading across his lips. His dark eyes swept over her appearance. She seemed to be more dressed up than she was before.

"Do you always dress that way for the inmates, or did you do it especially for me?" He couldn't resist asking. He felt more at ease with her today. Maybe because his mobility put them on a slightly more even playing field this time around.

[electrocutesy]

She put her hands on her hips and looked down at her carefully put together outfit--the skin tight black pants and the little corset over her white button down--and smirked, flouncing closer and doing a little turn. "Why? Do you like?"

[specialmonster]

His dark eyes trailed her body carefully, looking over the outfit as she did her little flounce and turn dance.

"It's nice enough," He finally replied in an indifferent shrug of his shoulders. In actuality, he had liked it more than he was pretending to.

[electrocutesy]

She started forward and stopped close to him, and brushed some nonexistent lint off his shoulder. Grinning wide, she shocked him a little in greeting and then turned on her heel to take a seat on his bed.

She leaned back on her hands and crossed her ankles. "Your outfit could use a little work," she shot back.

[specialmonster]

He flinched a little as she shocked him before following him back over to the bed where he sat beside her. At the comment about his clothes he shrugged his shoulders.

"Not much I can do about it, I'm told to just put on what they give me."

[electrocutesy]

"Mmm-hrm," she murmured, studying the side of his profile for a moment before touching where his hair met the nape of his neck, because she could, simply, and was curious how he'd react now that he could possibly resist her in any way.

[specialmonster]

He felt a small shiver run down his spine as her fingers brushed against the nape of his neck. He didn't say anything in response to the action but simply just took a step away from her.

[electrocutesy]

She pouted and rolled her eyes, laying back on the slab and generating sparks between her palms. "Fine, don't be fun," she muttered, staring at the ceiling.

[specialmonster]

He smirked a little at that comment, shrugging his shoulders lightly. He remained sitting for the time being, glancing over at her. "Sorry, can't say I ever claimed to be fun. Well, not to other people anyways. I manage to find ways to have fun for myself easily enough."

[electrocutesy]

"Like what?" She was tempting to roll her eyes again. "Play with brains? Fix watches? How thrilling."

Although she would like to see him take a power--just as long as it wasn't her--even though she'd been terrified when he'd attacked Trevor, she still had a morbid curiosity about it.

[specialmonster]

Now it was his turn to roll his eyes a little at her comment. "Though it can be rather fascinating to dissect a brain and find that special part where their power is hidden away, I was more thinking of things I could do with my powers. They do tend to make it a little harder to get bored easily."

He stretched his arms out before leaning back a little. "After all, they say idle hands are the devil's playthings..."

[electrocutesy]

She couldn't help the laugh that escaped her, and once it was free, she couldn't help but follow it with a small giggle. "Ironic."

[specialmonster]

He chuckled softly as he nodded his head in agreement with her. "Yeah, I suppose it sort of is."

[electrocutesy]

"So, tell me," she said, pushing herself up with a sudden thought, "how many powers do you have?"

She beamed at him, bringing folding her legs up to her chest.

[specialmonster]

He sat there for a moment before carefully replying. "Four, not including my own ability."

Telekinesis, Trevor's ability, freezing, and enhanced memories. He had been going after that cheerleader with the ability to regenerate when they had captured him and put him in this place. But it was a minor setback. He'd get that wonderful ability eventually.
