Moonlight glistened through the trees as Nichole walked through the park, using a small flashlight that was clipped to a pair of jeans she was wearing. It swung back and forth as she walked, the light dancing around her fingers as she moved.
She paused, running a hand through her curly brown hair and shaking it out. She let out a sigh and glanced around, frowning. "Ooooh, what to do, what to do," she said to no-one. "Uuugh, why is there nothing to do?" she questioned the night sky before starting to walk again.

Ty stood out by the lake, almost mesmerized by how the moon reflected off the water. Several things still ran through his mind. In a mere instant, he'd went from a happy superhuman with friends and a girlfriend, to all alone in this hellhole. The scars on his back and chest were still prominent, though covered by a shirt. His arms were uncovered, thanks to the sleeveless tee he wore. Though the scars weren't as bad on his arms, they were still visible.
Sighing, he reached into his bag, pulling out a silver coin. Focusing, he turned silver, tossed the coin in the air, and turned human again. When it hit his palm, he repeated.

Nichole saw someone standing at the lake. She stopped and watched as he turned to silver and back again a few times, almost mesmerized. Her mind flashed back to her old best friend who could shift into anything he touched. A ghost of a smile graced her lips as she thought of him. She hoped he had never been caught.
She walked up to him. "Neat trick," she said.

Ty didn't even look back to see who spoke, though the voice sounded familiar. He put the coin back in the bag, still staring across the lake. "Thanks, I guess. Last person who saw that didn't think it was so neat." His voice was dark, almost shaky as he remembered that fateful day only a few months ago...

She frowned slightly. The voice. It sounded a little familiar, but not quite. It was a little darker than Ty's and a little shaky. "Yeah, the last person who saw my neat little tricks didn't think they were so cool either," she replied. She let the light from the flashlight dance over the lake.

"I think that could be the story of everyone here," he said dryly, his eyes not wavering from the lake. "Like some isolated zoo full of animals no one likes. He brushed his hair out of his face as a gentle wind picked up, then looked back to see who he was talking to and blinked a few times. "....Funny. I feel like I know you from somewhere..."

She let out a dry laugh as a gentle wind picked up, lifting her curls. She brushed her hair back with a hand, brushing it behind her ear as she let the light drop. It went back to shining on the ground and on her leg as she looked up at him, frowning slightly. "I know what you mean...you seem familiar to me as well..." She pulled her lip-ring into her mouth and sucked.

Ty turned to face the woman he was talking to, trying to place a name to the face. Or even events. Where did he know her from...?
"Nichole," he whispered, unsure if it was really was his friend from kindergarten. Sadly, he wasn't near the same kid that he was back then. He'd grown....colder. Darker. And at this moment, even if it was his 'sister....' he wasn't so sure he could let her back in so quickly...

She let the lip-ring slip out of her mouth as she heard her name. Could it be...? "Ty?" she murmured, the light slithering up around her arm. "Is it really you?" she asked, lifting her hand up to touch his face. He looked the same but somehow...different. Darker somehow. Colder than he had been.

"Yeah...it's me," he said softly. When her hand touched his face, he jumped at first, as if to pull away, but he forced himself to stay there, to let her hand rest on his cheek. Tentatively, he reached out to touch hers in return. This is Nichole...it's my sister....she's okay. I can trust her....At least....I will until she gives me reason not to. I owe her that much.
"It's....been awhile."

She rested her hand on his cheek, rubbing it with her thumb. "Yeah...it has..." She frowned slightly as she looked at him. He was so different. "What...what happened to you?" she asked.

He closed his eyes as she rubbed his cheek with her thumb. She used to do that to make him feel better when they were little, and even teenagers. And even now...it was relaxing.
"Alot happened...mostly over the past few months...I...I'm not the same person I used to be." His eyes opened, and they showed an inner intensity, hurt...pain.

She smiled slightly as his eyes closed. It brought back memories of her childhood.
"What happened to you? I mean, I know you were brought here, but what...what did they do to you?" She looked into his eyes and saw the hurt...the pain. It made her want to cry.

"I wouldn't know where to start...." he muttered, trying not to show emotion because where he would have cried about this a few years ago, it only made him angry now.
"Well...I guess it started with my now-ex. Angela...we got serious, and she used to love these...heart to heart things. So...I finally got the guts to open up and show her my powers...her brother is Antidote...she turned me in, and...they hit me with some....gas..." He bit his lip, pausing. "As they were about to carry me away, though I was half out of it, all I remember is her spitting in my face. And in the prison...before they took me to the city part...I was beaten. They treated me like an animal...." He looked away, back towards the lake.

"That bitch," Nichole spat. "I can't believe she would do that to you!" She felt a few tears stream down her face. "I'm so sorry you went through that. It must...must have been terrible." She wiped the tears away with her fist. "Would you...like me to take away your pain?"
