Nash was enjoying her stay in the living room. She had put out the fire in the fire place upon her arrival and had made herself comfy on the couch with her book. She'd gotten it from the library earlier that day. Nash had only just started reading it but it was very interesting to her. It was about the prehistoric creatures and evolution. There was something eternally fascinating about the early years of the earth to Nash. It may have just been her fascination with creepy crawly's or her love for things that seemed to hold so much difference from the world of today. At one time the world had not belonged to humans. At one time they had simply been a simple species with few members. They had come from such simple beginnings. From the first information she had got her hands on as a child Nash had been hooked.

Now though she wasn't all that interested in the book. She couldn't concentrate because she was feeling the edges of hunger and it was way too dry in this room for her comfort. She didn't like all three of the factors. The hunger though persistent wasn't all that new too her. She knew her feeding schedule and she didn't have to eat until tomorrow. This was only the edge of the iceberg and it would do no good to eat now. The lack of humidity was a problem for her that was far more pressing. Setting down the book, page clearly marked, she extended her hand to the bottle of water she kept with her at all times. She took a sip and sighed, relaxing more into the couch arm, drink cradled in her hands.

Ethan walked out of his room a little past noon he was bored and wanted to go for a walk, or glide rather. His feet barely grazed the ground and he went down the hallway, he was getting more brave when it came to coming out of his room. He was still in his sweat pants and a wife better. He slept alot later then most, who'd a thought that a person who emitted sunlight all day would be tired.

When he reached the stairs he flew down, his body parralel to the ground and flew straight into the living room. He only saw one other person in there so he didn't say anything and flew over to the opposite couch lying down on it. He lowered his glow a bit so as not to bother the person to much.

Nash's daydream floated into a realm of water and humidity. Her day dreams often went to places like this. Suddenly her daydream was interrupted by a bright light. Was it another part of her daydream? Oh, no. Nash realized with a start that she wasn't alone anymore. The difference between alone and not alone was that another person is normally in the room with you. Though the boy was glowing, he defiantly was there. Unless this was a daydream. She didn't think her daydreams where that strong though. Was she asleep? No. She knew that. She never dreamed well asleep.

"Ummm.... Hello? Are you a student here?"

She couldn't help but ask. It would be rude for Nash to do anything but great the boy across from her. She couldn't just ignore him.

Ethan lied back on the couch, his eyes closed. He was simply relaxing, something he did alot off nowadays. The he heard the girl across the room from him speak, he jumped a small bit out of suprise cause he thought she was sleeping "Oh sorry I didn't wake you up did I?" He floated up and into the sitting position before flopping back down. He rubbed his shiney blue eyes a bit and shook his head a bit. "Sorry to invade your privacy, these overstuffed couches are even more comfy then my bed." He said a small laugh in his voice. He flipped his cali-boy hair to the right.

"Oh sorry I didn't wake you up did I?"

It was one thing to know you were in a school for 'Gifted children' It was another completely to watch one float around. "O', no. I wasn't sleepin' just relaxin'. Bad things tend to happen when I sleep durin' the day." As in her leeches not as tired as herself running rampant. Last thing she needed was someone getting paralyzed for entering the living room. She had written enough apology letters to enough people as it was. Of course, now that she thought about it she might be the one getting the apology letter. Considering she wasn't all that fight worthy.

"Sorry to invade your privacy, these overstuffed couches are even more comfy then my bed."

She smiled. It was a shy smile but still a smile. "I suppose dey are. All things considered dough I probably ain't the best person to confirm dat with." She was probably as cushioned as they came, what with certain, supposedly, important missing organs that were, supposedly, located in her chest and stomach.

Ethan's brow bunched up in a questionable look, this person must have some odd powers. She spoke of bad things happening when she fell asleep during the day and something about her not being able to tell if the couch was comfy. "Well it sounds to me like you have some like really interesting powers." Ethan said with a smile on his face.

He sat forward and reached his right hand across the coffee towards her, "My name's Ethan, or people around here call me 'Sunshine'. Bet you couldn't guess why." Ethan said a joking wink on his face.

"Well it sounds to me like you have some like really interesting powers."

"A', yes some say interesting, others say it's really creepy." She shuffled her yellow eyes from his face to the fireplace to the wall and then back to him. "It's a 'ard power to describe to certain people." Her leeches wiggled, without any real thought she knew they were thirsty and so she took another drink of her water bottle. With this simple motion she shifted back into the couch more. When the bottle was again resting in her hands she found herself nestled into the couch corner with her arm against the couch's arm. She noted the pillow at her feet and began to pick it with her toes.

"My name's Ethan, or people around here call me 'Sunshine'. Bet you couldn't guess why."

"My names Nash. I bet they call you 'Sunshine' 'cause you glow like a small sun." She smiled more brightly then before. "Some people back in my 'ome city would call me, Nest." As she said it she smiled a coy smile as though she knew something he didn't but wasn't just going to tell why. "I wonder if you can guess why? It's not as obvious as Sunshine i would think."

Creepy powers, Ethan had seen some creepy ones in his time at xaviers. His eye brow raised as he began to think what her powers were, there was no visable give aways so she lucked out there. Having a visual mutation like Ethan's was rough, expecially since he got them back in the registration of mutants. He had to learn how to use his powers in the subway. Which is kinda ironic given his powers.

Ethan leaned forward his elbows on his knee's. I Honestly have no idea what your powers could be." He said with a shrug. "So where do you call home?"

"I Honestly have no idea what your powers could be."

That was understandable. Nash did not have your run of the mill powers. She could tell him. Before she got a chance to think that though that through he spoke again. This was a question she could answer without any problems or real thought.

"So where do you call home?"

"A', London.. England. Not the one 'ere in the states." Nash had heard before that there was a london in the states somewhere. Her London though was in the UN. Traveling here had been difficult. What with buying the tickets and actually being allowed to buy them. She was glad she had adult friends back home. Her thoughts though weren't traveling home but back to the question of powers. So she made up her mind to show him. "'ere." She said it slowly and as she did raised her hand. There was a multitude of wiggling under her skin and then 8 of her leeches squirmed out from under her skin, all of them in different places. They clung to her before disappearing back under her skin only one remaining. "Can you guess my power now?" She brought the last leech up to her face and it crawled from her fingertips to her cheek. It burrowed under crawled up out from under her bottom eyelid, over her eye and slid back in behind it. Nash blinked but didn't move.

Ethan nodded as she told him where she was from, "London, cool. I've never been there but always wanted to go. I'm from the total other side of the world though, LA." He said remebering his old home. The long trip to get here in order to be near all the meta human action and then becoming a mutant himself. Then Nash did something strange she held out her hand, and eight leeches crawled out of nowhere and onto her hand only to disappear again, then one crawled onto her face and under her eyelid, Ethan did a flying induced flip over the couch. "What the hell was that!!!"

"What the hell was that!!!"

The classic response. Nash took it in stride just like she always did. Showing people was always the worst part but once that was done it was a matter of calming some people down.She hadn't expected him to do a flip right over the couch though. "There my leeches. They live inside me, breathe and eat for me and act as my own little army." She leaned forward on the couch to try to see him better. "Sorry if I shocked you but I did warn you it was creepy." Her slight hunger was making her act differently than she normally would. Normally she would have apologized right away or not even have done that. Her hunger though always made her slightly agitated and right now she kind of wanted to make someone jump.

Ethan peeked out from over the couch at a pretty student gone leech woman. He looked around to make sure there were no more visable leeches before floating back over the couch. This time sitting on the back with his feet on the couch. "So like, you have all these like, Leeches living inside of you." He shuddered at the idea of being full of leeches, that would be insane. " And I thought my powers were weird." He then looked up at the girl and held up his hands, "No offence."

He then shook his head, "So like, they're in there, with like your organs and everything. Don't that feel like, wierd?"

"So like, you have all these like, Leeches living inside of you, that would be insane. "

She had heard this many times before.It still made her flinch every time though. Nash couldn't help but think how strange it was to be told this by a boy who at the moment was glowing as her sat across from her. Of course he wasn't moving any closer to her. She wondered if she had scared him.

"No offence."

"Non taken." Typical Nash response. It was the simplest, most non aggressive thing she could say.

"So like, they're in there, with like your organs and everything. Don't that feel like, weird?"

"I don't have any lounges and I don't have a stomach. They are both of these for me. We don't coexist simply because they're there and I'm here. They keep me alive and I keep them alive. Did it feel weird when you said like more then once in your sentence or did it just come naturally?" So Nash couldn't help that little push at him. She grew up in a grammar conscious place with very strict teachings from a young age. She couldn't help but think of what her parents and teachers from back home would do if they heard the boy speak. Nash though did nothing after she spoke, except shift forward in her seat.
