Roger grumbled to himself, and swam to shore. He had to admit, it was a fairly decent revenge plan, but he would never admit it to her. When he reached the beach, he unrolled his towel, layed it carefully on the sand, and lay on it, on his back.
He crossed his arms under the back of his head, and closed his eyes, taking in the warmth of the sun. He could feel himself beggining to dry, and was fighting to stay awake. His eyes were so heavy.
Well, if I do fall asleep, at least I am wearing sun tan lotion.

"think he'll hold it against me?" chuckled Lena, getting jolted by the waves static starting to run up her arms.
"nah- he's too easy going," insisted Eagle, she noticed Lena jump. "Charge?"
"You bet- i'm gonna get out for a bit. sleep or socialise or something."
"u b ok?" asked Kitty worriedly.
"i'll b fine. all i need to do is make sure i change mi bandage on mi hand now. though salt water is good for it..." she thought about it then jumped again slightly, "you know what- im going out now. good luck with bobby and mason." she got her half grin back as her two girlfriends looked at the boys who were currently messing around in the sea.
Lena waded out and streched up into the air arching her back getting the crickes out.
some idiot wolf whistled, which only earned him a blistering glare as Lena walked over to her things near where Roger seemed to be snoozing.
"hey baby, got a name?" asked a curious voice from near by.
Lena looked up at the group of three boys, only mayb a year older than her. she smiled half nervously and turned back to looking for some sun tan lotion.
"you're quiet," another stated.
"mayb its coz i dont WANT to talk?" she asked patronizingly.
"aw c'mon, ur new here. mayb we could show u round."
"i have my friends, thanks." she was getting angry.

Roger, who had apparently dozed off, drifted back into alertness as voices sounded nearby. One was unmistakably Lena's (he didn't know why he could pick her voice out so easilly).
"I have my friends, thanks," was the what he had last heard.
There were three boys, fairly old, who seemed to be attemptin, and failing, to pick Lena up. He coul see that she was getting annoyed, and wasn't sure what she would do if she got angry (she had ounched a wall).
Roger stood up, stretched, and walked up to Lena, putting his arm around her waist, standing beside her. "Hey, baby," he started, "wanna go get a drink down at the boardwalk?"
He looked up at the three guys, "Do you guys mind if I take my girlfriend for a bit?" he paused for a second, then, "No? well then we are going to leave now, excuse us."

Ember watched the "show" with boredom etched into her face. Even with her ball, she was bored. She was glad that the guy, Rodger?, had gotten her out safely. Placing the ball on the sand, she drew a circle in th sand around it. The ball mented back into water, startling Ember.
This made Red come back with a vengence, scolding Blue was always a great show for her. But so, Red was shoved back off, only being a small corner in her mind, still watching with enthusiam.

Lena sighed in relief as her static calmed down. she looked back at those idiots for a moment, then laid her head on his shoulder.
"dude- u are my freaking knight in shining armour!" she exclaimed in a horse whisper, "bt call me baby again and ill make sure u cant reproduce." she grinned at him, and bumped him slightly with her hip to show she was only joking. "ugh... i have no money..." she muttered, "and i need a drink now. Wait a sec." she half pulled away from him to head back to get some money.

If you don't like this so much, Roger thought, laughing a little, then why did you put your head on my shoulder?
After fighting the urge to call her bluff, and call her baby, he found himself, for one of the few times, enjoying her company. That was when Lena chose to pull away to get some money.
"Don't worry," Roger said, pulling her back, "I have some, you can pay me back afterwards. Besides, those guys are still there, do you really want them taking another shot at you."

Lena looked back at the group and glared at them. "i'd like to see them try," she muttered angrily, but calmed down quickly and just enjoyed actually enjoyin Roger's company for once. they didnt always argue, bt it wasnt exactly friendship made in hevean.
she found she didnt actually mind having his arm round her waist, and he didnt complain when she slipped her arm round his.
"well then sir- seeing as your paying," she winked at him cheekily, "where are we going?" she made a promise to herself to pay him back with interest.

((Broky, you are an RP tramp  jokes)) "We are going down to the board walk. It isnt that far, about a ten minute walk," Roger explained. They walked in silence for a while, the a thought came into Roger's mind. He remembered Phobia, and how he, somehow, caused him to relive a horrible part in his own life. Also, how Lena was frozen in fear, just like Roger was. "When I found you near Phobia, what did he make you remember?" |

(THT WASNT WAT I MEANT!!!!! pervert...  ) Lena looked at him in surprise then looked down sadly, and swollowed hard. "will you tell me what he made u see?" she asked, not wanting to open up about her's, but knowing she wud eventually. He hestitated, before nodding slowly. "when i was ten, and i first learnt about my... my powers, i got called a freak alot. even by some of my family, and my brother and sister got the same stick for bein related to freak. and one day, in winter, wen we were by a frozen lake, we got attacked again, this time with sticks and stones. we werent hurt badly- but we were scared. my older sister turned on me, blaming me for everything, saying it was my fault i was born a freak and it was my fault we werent able to fit in." she took a deep breath, eyes locked onto the middle distance. "we fought, pulled each others hairs out, punched kicked. that was what really hurt, phyically. then she called me a freak and told me she never wanted to see me again. i told her i didnt care, that she cud die and it wudnt matter." she felt almost close to tears then. "and then she did. she did die. she fell right through the ice. barely even a scream. not even a splash. i tired running out on the ice, wanted to get her back, i was panicing so much. but it was too thin, and it cracked under my feet. my brother pulled me back, and told me to get help." she shuddered. "she was dead by the time the albulance arrived. colder than anythung. skin blue. lips purple. we dunno if she died of drowning or hyperthermia." she looked to the floor. "i still miss her... i didnt mean wat i said... i wish... i wish..." she wished she had died instead. she didnt need to say. |

((Congrats, Broky, that was actually sad, it made me depressed for a minute or so))
Roger was silent, on the verge of tears. He pulled Lena closer to him, a newfound respect for her filled his mind. She had been through something that traumatizing, and still had the emotional strength to be strong and independant.
"Well," he said quietly, "I guess it's my turn to spill my guts," he tried to laugh, but only managed a tortured chuckle.
Roger elaborated what he Phobia caused him to see ((not gonna say it again, you know the gist, and now the character does)). He explained about Jimmy Marshal, the blood, the look on Jimmy's face as he gasped his last breath. He told her how the surrounding people, he opened up about how he felt, the guilt, the sadness, the remorse. By the time he was finished, he was on the brink of tears, but held them in.

Lena looked up at him. like most usual boy he was trying to hold back his tears, but she knew it was more than that. she wrapped her arms around his waist, not really sure what else to do. her respect for him had grown somewhat becoz of what he went thru and he still managed to stay normal, easy going and sarcastic (in a friendly way).
"i really think we need that drink," she muttered, resting her head against his shoulder again.

They approached the boardwalk's consession stands Rgoer oredered their drinks, payed the cashier, and they went to go sit on a nearby bench. A soft, cool breeze wafted over them, running through their hair. Roger felt refreshed as he breathed in the salty ocean air. He looked over at Lena.
"Should we go back soon? The others might start to worry."

Lena paused, enjoying the feeling of the wind brushing past her. she breathed deeply and smiled. remembering her sister was hard, especially when it was remembering her with someone else. but that moment was passed, she felt better.
"yep," she agreed, gulping the rest of her refreashing drink down, and got up and streched, "we need to get our butts down to the mall remember- and i need a PROPER swim suit, nt this brief thing." with a sudden burst of energy, she poked Roger's shoulder and darted away from him, "RACE YA!" she called over her shoulder, not caring that she had cheated and had quite a large head start.
mayb these friends she'd b alright with. this school for the gifted teenagers wasn't so bad.

"Hey!" Roger yelled out, chasing after her, "I like the suit," he laughed.
They raced down the beach, Lena was far ahead, but Roger was closing the gap. Running on sand wasn't easy, his bare feet slid over the grains of sad. Almost slipping gave Lena enough time to take another commanding lead.
By the time Lena and Roger arrived back where their towles were, Bobby, Mason, Eagle, and Kitty were already dried off. Mason was back into his cargo shorts, and with t-shirt. Bobby wore blue jeans, and a red t-shirt. Kitty and eagle were in their hip hugger jeans, and tank tops.
"Finally," Mason sighed, "we were getting worried. What were you doing," Mason asked laughing, "making out?"
"NO!" Roger spluttered, "Well, let's get going to the mall. Maybe we could catch a movie at the malls ciniplex ((and yes, some malls do have movie theaters in them))."

Lena burst out into peels of laughter, she could help it. "ah let him have his gutter mind," she chocked out, searching through her things for her jeans and top, "he'll only start thinking them anyway."
"im not that bad!" protested Mason.
"yeah- sure," agreed Kitty sarcastically, "all boys are like that."
before an arguement could break out, while Lena started laughing again, Eagle cut in. "what sort of movie should we watch?" she called over the starting-to-raise voices.
"HORROR!" chortled Lena, pulling on her button up top over her swim suit, "i havent seen a decent one for YONKS!"
