Connor woke slowly, but when he turned onto his side, the sun coming in through the blinds at such a precise angle was enough to wake anybody, no matter how deep a sleep they were in.
He groaned, and sat up, "Nice, morning, nice."
With a glance at his clock, he nodded. Six hours was plenty for him, but Auru would be sleeping for a few more hours. A smile on his face, he remembered last night, the soft music, holding Auru close as they swayed to the beat. It was getting near the point to where Connor usually planned parties back with his and Jacks old team, and now that he was feeling very much like his old self, or as close as he would ever come to feeling like his old self with all that happened to him, he was going to plan a party. Maybe not today, he would blow the idea past the rest of the members of the team first, and he would want Aurus help with the decorating and planing part, half to get to know her likes and dislikes, half to get reaquaitned with how things had to run at parties nowadays.
Swinging his legs over the side of the bed, he decided it was time for a good morning warm up down in the gym. Who knew, maybe Adam would be there and he and Adam could talk things over about the day before. Around Connor and Jack alone, he had stayed the sweet and shy guy that had been around when Connor first arrived. But around the girls, Auru not as much but Tala especially, he changed into how he acted around them. He doubted Tala got anything from him last night, but he might be able to get something from him now. All he could do was try.
Dressed in his uniform (it seemed to be the thing to work out and practice in), he headed down to the gym, and saw Adam hard at work the second the elevator doors opened.
"Hey, Adam." Connor called out, catching the other man's attention for a brief second.

Adam looked round at the approching man, not older by much, but still somewhat intimadating. "hey connor," he said breifly, putting the weights down, leaning back getting the cracks out of his back. he was shirtless, he worked out better, less heat. he turned to face the dark haired guy, a slight smile on his face, "what's up? y aren't you with Auru?" he winked, it hadnt exactly been a secret in the house what was going on between the two of them

Connor laughed, he didn;t care who knew, all that mattered was that he loved her with his whole heart, soul, and being, and she loved him back.
"Well, seeing as we were up till around 5 this moring, and she needs more than 6 hours of sleep, she's going to be asleep a few more hours and I don;t wanna disturb her." he grinned back, sliding into one of the workout machines seats.
Silence for a few minutes besides for the sounds of the machines working and the boys breathing. A periodic break happened, as it always seemed to do when people were working out down here. A solid 20 minutes on something before switching. Then all of their inner clocks seemed to be in tune no matter how long they had been on the machine beforehand.
"Hey, I don't wanna seem introuding, but how come you're so hostile toward Lewis?" he asked, sliding to another machine.

Adam had gone back to his weights, that was his weakness and it was his upper body strength he wanted to increase. when he heard Lewis' name, he paused, and gripped the handle of his weight. he put it down before he did himself and injury and sat up.
he liked connor, he didn't want anything to stop them from being friends, but all the same…
"did Tala set up to this?" he asked- no, demanded, he spoke through gritted teeth as he spoke Tala's name.

Connor was taken aback at Adams demanding tone, but didn;t do anything about it, "No, I haven;t even seen her since Lewis left last night. Why?"
Connor knew that Tala was going to talk to Adam, but he had no clue of whet went on between them. Or why Tala would try to put Connor up to this. If she wasnted soemthing done, she was the kind to go and do it herself, or nearly die trying.

Sighing, Adam stopped himself from scowling. "because she cornered me last night and tried to get it out of me too," his fists clenched slightly, "she didn't get anywhere far, and i know what she's like when shes trying to find something out." he would have smiled if it didnt annoy him so much. "why do you wanna know? it's not like he's gonna come back here again..." he became uncertain, "is he?"
did Tala really like the git that much?

"I figured she wouldn;t if she did," he sighed.
"why do you wanna know? it's not like he's gonna come back here again..." he became uncertain, "is he?"
Connor raised his eyebrows, "You couldn;t tell from last night that Tala and Lewis were acting like old friends? I'm sure he's going to be coming back."

A curse issued from Adams mouth, he stood up, fists curled, walked calmly over to the punching bag. he had intended just to walk for a moment before he answered Connor. but his temper got the better of him. barely even thinking he punched the bag, bare fisted, hard. he didn't even care that his knuckled were throbbing. why the hell did that idiot have to com back into his life?! and why did tala have to get so chummy with him?!
he could hear connor saying something, but he couldn't make out what it was. he sighed. "i used to know lewis when we were kids," he said finally, his voice was so low, "he was a nasty piece of work, and didn't like supers. something to do with a family member being killed by when when he was a kid… he took his anger out on me. we got into so many fights, and i'm ashamed to say that he won every single one of them fair and square. but that's not why i'm angry…"
(btw- ull find out which family member it was and then u mite understand why Lewis hated supers for so long)

Connor had walked closer to Adam to hear him better. He sat at one of the quieter machines and worked on that while Adam talked.
"Then why are you angry?" Connor asked, but the news that Lewis hated supers was new news to him. Why was he acting so nice around them then? He had obviously changed, else he wouldn;t have stood to be around so many supers at once, or shown real pleasure to meet Connor and comment on his abilities.

"we used to be good friends," admitted Adam, "even when I was in the orphanage, we were really very close. then he left for a while, I didn't see or hear from him in months... we were eleven at the time. when he came back all he said to me that it was my kind's fault, like it was something dirty. i didn't understand. he was my best friend… my brother almost, and he turned on me."
Adam clenched his fists hard, then slammed them into the punching bag again, his knuckled were going to be very bruised, the materiel in the punching back was designed to be punched with covers over the hands- he was doing it without. he gritted his teeth hard, and concentrated in a spot in front of him. he had to explain himself to connor about Tala... but he didn't know how.
"i just... don't want him to do the same to that girl," he said slowly, "she acts tough- but she's all heart. if he hurts her... she'll be devistated." even then it sounded almost empty... Tala was far too strong to be hurt in a big way... but it was still partly true.

"Well, I imagne he's grown from that thing that bothered him then. It seems as almost if his memory was deleted from his childhood if he doesn;t remember that. Most likely self willed like my memories have done about the warp. But thats why i get attacks like I do, cause some of that stuff was relatively recent." Connor explained, "Since you were kids, he may have needed a way to channel it out while it was too recent to delete. But this is me going on logic from my expierences, so it may or may not be true."
Connor looked at Adam, "You;re either majorly oing one of two ways, here. One, you could be going into really big brother mode around her, but we all are for her and Auru. So I doubt thats the case. Two, you're falling for her. And falling hard."

"I am not falling for her," Adam said, simply, turning to look at Connor, he saw his friend looking sceptical, "I'm not!" he insisted, "she's just a friend. she pisses me off like hell, she refuses to listen 2 reason and is waaaaay more stubborn that Auru, which generally means she'll get into trouble. but trust me- i am not falling for her."
Adam paused for a moment, "it's just because we all know Auru can look after herself simply because she's more rational... and has you. Tala is far more impulsive- so she's irrational. more likely to get into trouble."
Connor evidently still didn't believe him.
"you want me to prove it?" he snaped angrily, crossing his arms, "then I will. i am not falling for Talise White!"

"How would you prove it? And who would you be trying to prove it to, me, or yourself?" Connor shook his head, "I'm no empath, I'm just saying its a possibility. But the way you're reacting to it isn't really helping defeat the purpose. I'm a male myself you know; one with plenty of time to have thought out logically some emotions and scenes and such."
With a sigh, Connor went back to the other topic, to avoid being put on Adams bad side, "Do you know what happened to make Lewis act like that toward you? If something happened to him, he may not even have been controlling himself. Or, and more likely, he was too young at the time to realise what had happened and how it happened and not all supers were to blame for the one incident."

"i don't know..." Adam calmed himself, he didnt want to fight with Connor, he really did not want to get into an arguement with Connor, they got on too well for him to change that. he didn't want to. "maybe Talise will find out for us," he tried not to grit his teeth. he sighed, "no- i'll prove it to you." 'and to myself…' "and you wanna know how?" he smirked.

Connor grimaced, "how? and tell me it doesn;t involve hurting anybody. You hurt Lewis, and you'll get Tala on your case like fur on an animal and Auru will prolly get mad too cause Talas mad. Then Jack'll get mad cause both of his girls are mad."
