Another night, another instance of Archetype standing by the lake, watching the moon reflect off the lake water. He didn't know why, but Ty loved this spot; in fact he frequented it almost every night. But tonight, he had alot more on his mind. Just a few days ago, he'd ran into his old friend, then he realized how much he'd changed. He let out a low sigh, closing his eyes.
"Well well well...Look what I found in the park..."
Ty jumped, spinning face to face with an Antidote; he was out of armor, but the guy was wearing the Antidote symbol on a pendant: A diamond that was really two A's reflecting each other.
"What? Is it illegal to look at the lake now?" Ty hissed, his voice low.
"It is if I say it is, Lesser..." he muttered, drawing his N-67 from his belt.
In a flash, Ty grabbed the silver coin from his bag, his skin turning silver; the dart bounced off of the skin without so much as a scratch. In the next instant, Ty's silver fist connected with the man's jaw, not only shattering it, but knocking him out cold.
"Antidote..." Ty muttered, shaking his head as he turned to look back out over the lake as if nothing ever happened.

For some odd reason, Violet just couldn't sleep. Too much was on her mind and was overwhelming her thoughts. She decides to go and take a stroll in the park. Nature always seemed to help her straighten things out in her head. She walks to the Myriad Park after leaving the Residential Area. She was still having to get used to this place. So many new things and new people she tried to keep to herself. As she walked to the park, she noticed how beautiful the night was, and how peaceful it seemed. Upon getting to the park, she walks over the hill and looks out across the horizon. She sees the lake and the trees. She wonders where in the park she wants to go. She decides to go amongst the trees. She likes the idea of being concealed. She likes being able to see the bright moonlight through the forest tops. She makes a gentle breeze begin to blow. She closes her eyes and relaxes as the wind kisses her cheeks and blows back her braids. She begins to think when she hears talking coming from towards the lake. She walks over to the tree line where she can see what's going on covertly. She sees an Abnormal. He looks really familiar but she can't place where she's seen him before. She sees the other person draw what looks to be an N-67. It must be and Antidote officer. She keeps watching when all of a sudden, she observes the Abnormal turn to silver and is unharmed by the dart the Antidote officer tried to shoot. Thinking to herself, "Thank goodness he's all right", when she sees him strike him with his silver fist. She gasps, "Oh well, he deserved it. Pulling out his gun like that." She stands there hoping that she had not been heard.

Ty's body turned to normal, then he heard the voice, and he turned it right back silver again as he turned to the source of who spoke. She didn't look like Antidote, but he wasn't about to take any chances.
"Maybe," he said, his now-blank eyes focused on the woman in front of him. Just to be sure, he looked her body up and down; at first glance one would think he was checking her out. In reality, he was checking for any trace of the Antidote's symbol, which all of them wore at all times. Okay, it looked like she was clean, but he still wasn't letting his guard down.
"Some people just aren't that smart..." He looked down at the Antidote officer's unconscious body. "Low rank. Thinks just because he has that tranq, he can do what he wants."

Violet waited. She realized that she had been heard when she saw him turn around and turn silver. She kept quiet and still, not wanting to make any more noise. She wondered if he was going to walk over and try to find her. She decided to take a risk and not let what happened to the Antidote officer happen to her. She created a dense fog to shield her so that she move without being seen. She had blown her cover in the woods. Now it was time to conceal herself somewhere new. But she couldn't help but to be drawn to this Abnormal. The familiarity of him was eating at her, and she was also beginning to take interest in him. Quickly she slipped into the lake and kept beneath the surface. Thankfully, she had the power of waterbreathing. Now she could be right under his nose and get a closer look at him and be able to watch him from underneath the waters of the lake.

He blinked when the fog suddenly appeared, and the shadow he thought he saw had disappeared. He spun, taking a fighting stance as he looked for the figure; though he was sure by now she was an Abnormal like him. But Archetype wasn't that trusting. And if someone was going to hide when they were discovered, then that meant they had to be up to no good.
"Alright...I know you're out there. If you mean no harm, I suggest you show yourself and I'll be the judge of that," he said firmly. "If you do, mean harm...then I'm going to hunt you down."

She slowly raised out of the water quietly. The fog still dense. She slowly lifted it, standing at the edge of the lake. Ready to run if she had to. She was terrified of what he would do. She hoped that he would keep his word and not harm her if she showed herself. As the fog had almost completely lifted, she kept her eyes on him. Trying to figure him out. She had already assessed that he didn't trust people from the defensive position he had assumed after the fog rolled in. For some odd reason, Violet had grown to become very curious about this Abnormal. She wanted to figure out his familiarity and find out who exactly he was.

Archetype looked at the figure that had risen from the water, though the fog wasn't completely gone, he could see enough. His former self would have said something about the woman being pretty, but that part of him was buried deep down under the dark, cold shell that he now was. Ty dropped the silver form, now human as his icy blue eyes scanned the figure of the woman, looking for any trace of her being Antidote. But he could see none.
"Why are you stalking me?" he asked firmly.

"I wasn't stalking you." Violet said. She spoke softly, "I heard you while I was in the forest trying to get things off my mind".
She becomes defensive herself trying not to let her guard down.
"I'm not Antidote if that's what you're wondering!" she spat. "If you were wondering who has been responsible for the fog just now and for the gentle breezes the past few days, its me" she said sarcastically.
She stood there thinking when she realized where she had seen him before. She had seen him right here at the lake a few nights ago. She continued to stand there, waiting on his reaction, and observing his body language.

"The breezes..." he repeated, looking at her. "So...you just happened to be near me the past few days. Forgive me if that makes me suspicious," he said dryly. "I've learned not to trust others so easily. Though I see you're not Antidote, so you do have a leg up on them," he added, not taking his eyes off of her, just in case she tried something.
"Call me Archetype," he said finally.

"I've had a lot on my mind the past few days. Haven't exactly been able to sleep very well, considering I haven't been here for very long. It takes a little getting used to, and nature's a way to help me relax and think. I just happened to stumble across this park walking around on one of my sleepless nights." she said.
"Oh and by the way, my name is Crystal Violet Waters, but everyone I used to know before getting taken here called me either Violet or Purple Rayne depending on if you knew I had powers or not" Violet spoke.
"You can call me what you want though" Violet murmured.

He nodded as he listened to her explain. "Yeah...I've been here a couple months, myself. Sucks. I been coming to this exact spot ever since I found out it existed. Everybody here knows me as Archetype, but you can call me Ty, I guess. If you want." He stuck his hands in his pockets. "I understand the sleeplessness. Trust me. I think everyone gets that...at least at first."

"I've only been here a couple of weeks, Ty. And you've been the only Abnormal that I've talked to since being here. I guess you could say that you kind of scared me into talking." she chuckled.
"I saw that you can change into silver. Do you change to just silver or do your powers allow you to change into other things?" she asked.

"Yeah. I haven't been Mr. Social since I got here, either. And...sorry about that. I'm not good with strangers."
When she asked about his powers, a rare smile crossed his face. True, he was darker, and not as trusting, but hey. He still loved his powers, which is all the more reason it hurt that someone would put him here. He loved who he was.
"I can turn into pretty much any material I can touch," he explained. As he did so, he pulled out a rock, showed it to her, then turned his skin into rock, followed by the silver, a piece of black titanium, and lastly, a diamond. His skin went back human between each transformation.
"I can also copy another Abnormal's powers for a little while, if I touch 'em."

She smiled when she saw him smile.
"That's understandable, Ty. You never know who you'll meet walking around here." she said. "I guess you could say that's why I've been keeping to myself since I've gotten here. You don't really know who to trust."
"Those are some interesting powers, Ty" she also said.
"Do you want me to show you mine since you were so open and showed me yours? And what do people do around here exactly when they aren't being attacked by the Antidote?" she asked.

Ty nodded as she spoke, not really saying anything on the trust issue. "Yeah, I like my powers. Wouldn't change for the world. "Up to you really, Violet. Though from what I've seen...fog, breezes...I'm guessing like wind or something," he said with a shrug, looking at her, then back at the lake. He had to admit, this was kind of nice. Even if he didn't fully trust her yet.
