Voltaire was sitting in a one persons chair in the living room next to a window. You couldn't exactly call it sitting as his legs where over one armrest and his head over the other. He was looking outside while thinking things over. After all the time he spent here he still felt lonely. All of the other people already made friend and some of them even love interest but he didn't have much people he would feel confortable enough to around with. "Maybe i should try a bit harder." He thought but then took his powers into consideration. He had a hard time making friend because he was scared of hurting people with his powers. He sighed as he saw a couple prancing outside thinking they where alone. He plugged his earphones in and turned on some music. it wasn't loud music but more of the nice, soft music but you could still hear it outside of the headphones. He tapped his leg with his tumb on the beat while pondering how to try and control his powers more

Deathstar walked into the living room noticing a Malik sitting alone, she was just passing through headed to her room, but looking at his face she had to make a pit stop. She walked up behind the chair noticing he was listening to some music, and wanted to surprise him. "Hey!, whatcha doing?" she said as she shook the chair attempting to surprise him softly laughing to herself.

Malik was sitting in the chair as it started to move all of the sudden. He was starled by this and he grabbed on to the chair and returned to upright position. He almost fell of his chair by the movement.

"Hey!, whatcha doing?"

It was just deathstar playing tricks on him. He pulled his earphones out and said. "Nothing." With a blush on his face. He still felt kind of shy around deathstar. He found her pretty and playfull and he liked that. "So what are you up to." He asked avoiding eye contact. This made him look even more shy but he couldn't help it.

Deathstar covered her face with her hands hiding her laughter, she got control of herself reaching her hand out to help Malik get on his feet.

"So what are you up to."

"Oh!, I was heading to my room but I couldn't help myself but to mess with you", she said as she sat on the edge of the window seal. She notice Malik always looked down when she conversed with him, she couldn't help but try to get to know him a little better. "So Malik, why are you sitting here alone?, theres a whole world to explore in this mansion" she let a hint of a smile slip on her face.

Deathstar wanted to give Voltaire a hand but he refused and got up, and brushed away some dust from his pants. He lay down in his chair again and looked at the ceiling.

"So Malik, why are you sitting here alone?, theres a whole world to explore in this mansion"

"Good question." He said. He pondered over how to answer her. He didn't want to spit all his problems at her in a go, making her go on a guild trip or anything. "Well , eeeh" He continued. It made him feel sad again to think about his problems. "Everyone is here has friends that they can play around with and i can't do that because of my powers." He said. "I'm feeling like im missing out on parts of my life." he continued with a sigh while he continued looking at the ceiling.

Deathstar saw herself in Malik a while back when she first arrived, she knew exactly how he felt. "Well you came to the right place, theres plenty of mutants in your same position but that doesn't stop" she paused for a moment while gazing out the window. "See that girl right there" she points to a young mutant outside, "she may never walk again, but her spirits are always high", she pulls her knees to her chest smiling as she watched the girl play with others.

"There will always be challenges being a mutie, you just got to find a solution" she takes another gaze out the window and focus her attention back on Malik. "I think its something else thats bothering you, you didn't quite answer my question about your family while we were in the kitchen, could that be it?".

"I think its something else thats bothering you, you didn't quite answer my question about your family while we were in the kitchen, could that be it?".

The question that everybody always want to know. This question only made Voltaire angry when it was asked. he thought back at what his dad did back then to him. "I got over my dad shananigans along time ago." He replied. " My mom on the other hand died when i was young." he continued. He sighed. The girl might have a high spirit but not being able to walk wasn't as bad as never to touch somebody according to Voltaire. Never touching anybody, never being intimite with somebody scared him and he wished he was normal in that matter.

Deathstar red eyes became infactuated with Malik, she hugged her knees tighter withn her chest as she listens to him speak about his past problems with his family. "My family isn't the brady bunch if you know what I mean, you can consider me..us!, your family now", Deathstar gave him a reassuring smile. "We are all family here, so you shouldn't let your abilities get in the way of that, trust me I know, it took me long time to control my powers" Deathstar let out a deep exhale while having flashbacks of her past.

"So tell me Malik, how did you discover you powers?"

"My family isn't the brady bunch if you know what I mean, you can consider me..us!, your family now",

Voltaire smilled for the first time today: "Guess we are the family of the no family kids."

"So tell me Malik, how did you discover you powers?"

Voltaire thought it through. It felt kind of nice to finally be talking to somebody about his problems. Deathstar really made him feel more comfortable and supported him. He thought about his answer and responded with: "Some bullies where picking on me at school and thats is when it happened." he tried to turn the conversation around and said: "What about you?"

"Some bullies where picking on me at school and thats is when it happened."

Deathstar was reminded of her past when Malik told her how she discovered her powers, "did you hurt anybody?".

"What about you?"

Deathstar dreaded hearing that question, it always put her in a bad place mentally. It was about time she start being honset with others aswell as herself, "I...uh!, killed my parents, thats how I truly discovered my powers". Deathstar gazes outside the window in deep thought trying to hide her pain she suppressed for years. "To this day I still have a hard time dealing with it, but being here helps me alot, I hope it will do the same for you", she says while still looking out the window watching the kids play with each other. "I'm glad to have someone here like you, who kind of knows what I went through".

"did you hurt anybody?".

"I don't think so." He shortly replied. Voltaire pondered a moment after that if he could recall it.


"I...uh!, killed my parents, thats how I truly discovered my powers". "To this day I still have a hard time dealing with it, but being here helps me alot, I hope it will do the same for you", she says while still looking out the window watching the kids play with each other.

That story made Voltaire sad. he knew what she had been to but she didn't desirve to lose her parents especially not like that. Voltaire wanted to confort her but he didn't know anything to say but. "I'm sorry for your loss.

"I'm glad to have someone here like you, who kind of knows what I went through".

That remark made Voltaire blush. He was kind of attracted to her but people like them couldn't be together even if they tried. However his common sense was supressed by his feelings and he replied with: "I like you too." while still having a little blush on his face.
