However, she went to a place she figured would eventually come up, and definitely be of importance to Kurt, who was very nice... and cute. She kind of liked his accent too, kind of. "This... is the food court, all malls have one of these, let's everyone get their own kind of food but eat together." There were a lot of places she would happily eat at, and a few she looked at and cringed at the thought of eating there. She then said two words she might regret later, and rarely ever said, "My treat." She could get her food after Kurt found what he wanted. She had breakfast so food wasn't a huge concern for her body.
She looked at a casual burger stand. Not a fast food global like a McDonalds, but a nice small grill, maybe a small franchise. It made her miss home, working at the Dot. She hated it at first but it did have some charm to being nice to people and getting paid for it. Treating being nice as the work it really is. Okay, so it wasn't really work when she was mostly dealing with Spinner, but the rest of the time it was.

Of course, he was in absolute awe when they stepped into the food court. So much fast food in one place! It was amazing. And even more amazing was Holly J's offer, "Really? You mean it? Wow, thanks!"
Had he had his own money with him, Kurt probably would have proceeded to get a little bit of everything, but since someone else was buying he figured he should probably be at least somewhat reasonable. Wanting to try something knew, he decided on a little taco stand. He headed back over to Holly J with a couple of burritos in hand.

She sat down across from Kurt, "So Kurt, what was your life like, um... before here." She knew Kurt's life was... not standard, before here, but no details yet as to why. He seemed nice enough, a bit of a goofball, but even the dorks in her school had friends. It would do her some good to learn about her classmates a little.

But as Holly J asked her question. Not exactly his happiest topic of conversation, and he'd been asked about it a lot in the past couple of days. And he supposed the asking would continue for a while until he started to get to know everyone. "Not very interesting. I couldn't leave my house, because of my mutation. Ever. Coming to the school was the first time I did." Not that Holly J was going to understand that, since she hadn't seen him all blue and fuzzy yet, but he couldn't very well show her in the middle of the crowded food court. He smiled, "But now I'm here so that doesn't really matter anymore, right?"

She felt a little bad talking about her life given what he just said. Her life wasn't all that rough when it came to her powers, except for the things she beat herself up over. Like what happened at the Dot, which Spinner told her wasn't her fault, she still managed to save the day without powers. "Before I decided to come here, one of my friends got shot protecting my secret."

Her story really hit home for Kurt, since he'd had the same thing very nearly happen to him the one time he had been stupid enough to wander away from his home. "Wow. That's...just awful. I don't really know what to say."

"He's fine now. But... not something I've come to terms with, exactly," she omitted her exact relation with Spinner, and what that meant about how that night and the next day went. She still had no idea what her other friends would do if they found out. That idiot doing her favors... however she didn't want to get hung up on her past right now, she did remember she should write him soon.
She quickly changed pace and gave Kurt a nice smile, "So how does your power work anyway, I know its teleporting but..." she really wasn't sure what she was asking, as far as powers went that was a neat one, but could he teleport anywhere, how did he teleport, what made it work? How far could he go, that sort of thing.
Reply
He thought her question over for a moment, "I'm not exactly sure. But when I met with the prof., he thinks that when I teleport I might actually be going through another dimension or something! But uh, I need to be able to see where I'm going, or at least know."

Of course, she was ready to turn her unflashy power into her greatest advantage. She could hide as soon as she was done with school. Which suited her fine, to be a normal person, normal life, normal job. It's why she started working when her family was rich. They had made their stance on mutants clear, so had her sister. She just ate quietly for a little while, unsure of what to ask next. He was... not the usual person she'd eat lunch with.

THen an uncomfortable silence fell over them for a moment. He could tell Holly J was thinking about something pretty hard, but he couldn't really tell if she was upset or not. He didn't really want to leave the silence hanging though, "What about your powers? You know, if you don't mind me asking..."
Reply
"Oh, me? Um... my body just works better than human. Stronger, faster, need less food and sleep," She ate another of her rolls of sushi. "It isn't anything grand, but it makes me..." A freak "Special." There was a tone in that last word that said she wasn't entirely thrilled with it. "I've been told my powers have 'great potential' and that I've 'only seen the tip of my abilities.' Whatever that's worth..." She would be fine if this was as far as her powers go.
Reply
But still, it was pretty obvious that her powers were not Holly J's favorite topic of conversation, so he didn't want to dwell on it and upset her. Especially after she'd been so nice to him all day. "What other sorts of things did you do at home?" he asked, "You know, like sports and stuff?"
Reply
At least she was still pretty and rich, "Oh, I was student council president and head of my school's cheer squad. I also worked at a grill part time for a friend." Her life was pretty good, she didn't want to rub it in. For once, possibly Spinner's fault. In fact, certainly Spinner's fault. "Otherwise it was shopping, dances, and everything else that makes school. Well, school."

She looked down at her sushi, "Um, want to try one?"

Kurt had already long since finished his two burritos. "Yeah, sure!" He replied excited, then added a bit more sheepishly, "Uhh, you sure you don't mind?"
