Drip. Drip. Drip. Water slowly trickled from the ceiling onto what appeared to be a very large cocoon made of vines tucked into a corner of a science lab. The lab was currently empty except for the cocoon and a computer that seemed to be monitoring whatever was inside. A vibration could be felt in the thick humid air. All was still in the abandoned lab until... Crack The vines splintered releasing a vibrant green pollen. An alarm blared just as a pale ivory hand rose from the depths of the cocoon yet no scientist could be seen anywhere. Another hand appeared and with both now free the woman inside used her strength to free herself from the vines. Lillian rose from her crouched position revealing her very nude and firm body. She stretched her arms above her head and bent down to her toes. Lavendar eyes scanned the floor around until they landed on a decomposing corpse in a lab coat lay. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth before standing up straight. She kicked at the remains.

“Bastard. Serves you right.” She tucked her hair out of her face and made her way toward the lit exit sign. Six months she had been inside that cocoon after murdering her boss and it wasn’t by choice. After the solar flare something changed. She felt as if her body had become different, and that didn’t go unnoticed by her boss. It didn’t take long for the physical changes to take place and that’s when Lillian had been held hostage and experimented on. The experiments were small at first, but when he had discovered she had an ability to heal he began all sorts of twisted and painful ones. She shivered at the memory and vines from the cocoon slithered across the floor and wrapped around her body as if to protect her. The result looked like a skin tight dress that accentuated her curves perfectly. Every few steps she would pass another corpse, each one wrapped in the same vines that were on her. She stopped in the dark hallway and clicked her tongue. “Do something about that noise, will you?” There was a loud crunch as the computer was crushed by thick vines. A smirk played on Lillian’s lips as she shoved open the double doors of the building and walked into the warm morning light. @Deleted User

"We got action," a loud intercom blurted in the room of a dark haired man, "Get to the briefing room in the next ten minutes." The man sighed as he grabbed a remote, turning off a monitor in the room that was playing a generic 90s sitcom. He moved to a side room next to the bed, containing clothes, throwing on a pair of black jeans and a black button down shirt. After getting dressed, he stood at the door of the room, waiting moments before looking up at a camera, "Gonna let me out or not?" With a few clicks and a shift, the door opened with a slide and he was allowed to exit the room. Taking a right, he came to another door that exited into another hallway. Each of them requiring clicks and shifts to open. As he finally reaches a "conference" room of sorts, inside this room, another woman is seated and stares at him, "We have been monitoring the laboratory of Professor... Uh, whats his name," The man sighed in response, "Professor whatever. Doesn't matter, he wouldn't work with us and let us in, so his name doesn't matter anymore. But, it appears whatever that signature was is now moving throughout the building and just made its exit moments ago. You know what that means, its on American owned soil and its ours now." Throwing down a pile of pictures on the conference table, "This is what we have so far," the woman said, "Alistar, it is your job to recruit, neutralize, or capture." This wasn't his first job. He knows the deal, he takes the photos, studying them for a moment before looking back up, "Capt. Winslow, you get me to the signature, we will get this taken care of. You know how this goes." He stands up and walks towards the door again, waiting for a shift, Capt. Winslow yells behind him, "Try to bring this one alive, not in cinders. Flight is ready." Alistar continues to the plane, allowing himself to sit with a group of SWAT-like dressed men as the flight takes off to the signatures target.

Lillian stood on the bustling city street and tilted her head towards the sun, her body finding immense pleasure from feeling sunlight after so long. She was so enthralled that she didn’t notice the stares of the people who passed her, or maybe it was that she didn’t care. She felt so far removed from humans and she knew with just a mere thought she could take care of them if she needed to. Lillian licked her lips tasting the air. The pollution in the air left a bad taste in her mouth and made her want to leave the city. She started walking down the streets and every once in a while, Lillian would pause to stare at a tree, a flower, or even a weed and would seem to have a conversation. She looked like a mad woman with no clear direction but in truth she was headed to the park at the edge of the city. When she arrived, a sense of relief washed over her and she eagerly headed for the large pond at the center. She sat on a long since decayed tree stump gazing out over the water. The waterlilies moved ever so slightly from the fish swimming beneath them.

Children and animals could be heard playing thought the park and it made Lillian’s heart ache. How long had it been since she had seen her family? Her mother probably thought she died; Lillian wouldn’t have been surprised if her parents were informed so. How else would she have been kept in the lab and experimented on without so much as a word or protest from her parents. She was an only child and her parents had loved her dearly. Lillian felt the loss in her soul and tears streamed down her cheeks. The plants around her seemed to gravitate toward her as if to console her, their whispers reaching her ears on the wind. Just as soon as the sadness had come it had gone and Lillian bent down plucking a lotus flower from the pond. She held it to her nose and inhaled the pleasant scent before tucking it behind her left ear. Coming... something coming. Lillian scanned the horizon as the plants continued the chant. “We have company, do we?”

As the plane lands in the nearby park, alerting nearby people who were enjoying the sunshine of the day, Alistar and the group of the Department of Mutant and Evolutionary Affairs' finest guards begin their movement on the energy readings near them. Continuing to pin point, Alistar led the group. The first option was always to talk to the target first. Try to get them to subdue. This is what he was trained to do. Moving slightly ahead of the group, he saw the target first, "I got this," he said into his mic on his lapel, "Keep close eye in case things happen to get out of hand." Pushing forward, as he spots the energy target in his Google sponsored glasses. He is struck in the moment by the look of this woman at first sight, she is indeed beautiful, but very fucking dangerous and emotional, he thought to himself, this was not a good combination. As he stepped forward to make contact, "Ma'am," he shouted for a moment, "Ma'am, we are here to help." That generic line never worked, he is never sure why that was the first line of the script.

Lillian BOT 28-Nov-21 05:08 AM

"Here to help" Lillian scoffed at his remark and shook her head, her lavender eyes narrowing. "Where was that help when I was being poked, prodded.... tortured with experiments from the professor?" She observed the man before stepping down from the tree stump. There was still a bit of distance between but if they were not aware she clearly still had the advantage, after all this was a park and it was very lush with foliage of all types. She tilted her head and frowned at him, clearly he was from some sort of organization and more than likely it was one that belonged to the government. "Tell me, what exactly have you come for? To capture me? To take me to someone else who would do horrible things to me?" Lillian tilted her head to the left as if listening to something and clicked her tongue in annoyance, if what the plants were telling be the full truth she would have quite a fight coming her way. So far she only saw him and a couple of soldier types that were quite terrible at hiding; not that they could hide from her, but they probably didn't know that. The vines that wrapped around her slithered across her body transforming to cover more of her body. The result looked like a type of chest-plate one would see in superhero type of movies. The lotus flower that was tucked behind her ear seemed to become a more vibrant color as if to resemble the building anger inside of Lillian.

Alistar Black BOT 28-Nov-21 01:38 PM

"Not capture you," Alistar said as he stepped forward slightly, gauging every reaction from around her, "To help you, we had no idea what was going on inside of that laboratory. From what I am told, we didn't have any kind of intel as we were not allowed access to their facilities, nor could we sneak our way in." Alistar didn't know if that was a lie or truth, as he only been told that through his headset seconds before letting it be known, but she didn't need to know that. It was obvious, she had some kind of kinship mutation with plant life. They seemed to protect her as stepped forward. "We are from the Department of Mutant and Evolutionary Affairs," he stated as he began "We are a department of the United States Government that is looking to help and train mutated individuals from the solar flare to harness their skills and use them for good."

Lillian BOT 28-Nov-21 03:56 PM

“So what you’re saying is they want to use me for their own schemes.” Lillian eyed the man and shook her head. She wasn’t so naïve to believe that they didn’t know anything that had gone on in the lab. The only explanation for the computer that had been hooked up to her pod would have been that someone had entered after the chaos she had caused. “And do you honestly expect me to believe the words coming out of your mouth...do you?” She looked around again and spotted a few more agents, the park was no longer filled with the noises of families, even the animals had seemed to grow quiet. She narrowed her eyes as she took another step forward. “Why send so many agents if all you wanted to do was recruit?” Lillian didn’t necessarily want to fight, but if it came down to it should would defend herself. Truth be told she was probably outnumbered, and there was the unknown that bothered her. What was the man's ability? Surely, he had to have one, otherwise why would he be at the forefront of this encounter. Lillian sighed and ran a hand through her hair. “Let’s be civil...shall we?” She wondered how much exactly did this government organization know about her. For now, against her better judgement she would play nice. She extended a hand toward the man before her. “I’m Lotus. And you are?” She refused to reveal her real name, just in case they really didn’t know much about her. If keeping things tight lipped helped protect her family then she wouldn’t give away too much information. She was thankful that enough of her DNA and physical appearance changed that it would hinder certain aspects of their information gathering abilities, she had helped the professor during the early experiments to know that much.

"Why so many agents?" Alistar scuffed, "Seems like to me you have plenty of backup here," Alistar continued motioning to the trees and ground around him, "I needed some insurance. But, yes, I agree. Let's be civil here." This was definitely a change of pace for Alistar. In the last few months, it had been nothing but immediate action, so he was excited to hear that she actually wanted to talk instead of immediately come to blows. He extended his hand to the woman, "Alistar," he stated as he shook, "It is my pleasure to meet you, Lotus." A fake name, perhaps? Or lucky concidence, Alistar didn't care in that moment. He was tired of being alone in that hovel. He would really enjoy the company, so he was going to do whatever needed to be done to end this peaceful. If he couldn't, so be it. Smiling at Lotus, he reached up to his ear piece and microphone, removing it. Static and loud shouting could be hear before Alistar yanks a radio from his back pocket and throws it to the side. "Civil," he stated again, "Let's talk..."

Lillian BOT 30-Nov-21 10:03 AM

When her confirmed that they knew about some of her abilities, it made her wonder exactly how much they knew, but for now she held her tongue. When he offered his own hand she shook it firmly. This was the first time in awhile that Lillian had actually had pleasant physical contact and she almost wanted to recoil from the sensation but held herself firm. As he tossed his radio and mic, she smiled ever so slightly and if one wasn't paying attention they'd have missed it for it was gone just as soon as it appeared. "I am not some monster that would go back on her word, Alistar." Lillian pointed to a nearby park bench not far from where they were currently. "Shall we sit and discuss what exactly this so called organization wants from me?" She turned her back to him, showing that she was trusting him just a bit to keep his word just as she was. Lillian sat on the bench and crossed her legs, her eyes on the small ripples in the water of the pond just a couple of feet from her. She waited until Alistar was situated before speaking again. "I assume you have some sort of ability and work for this government agency. Can you tell me, the truth as of what it is they will do, what you think they want, and if it is truthfully worth my while to go along with their demands?" She was sure he wouldn't be totally honest, but that was the point of the test, wasn't it?

Alistar followed her to the park bench. It had been so long since he had been out of the compound so he did enjoy the moment itself. He would catch hell when he returned for dropping the headset, but if they wanted to hear the conversation, they definitely could. As he settled beside of her, he began to answer her questions. "I will be a hundred percent honest with you," Alistar said with a smirk looking at the ground, "This world don't want people like us. Never did. And once people like you, like me, started appearing in this world, we were public enemy number one." Alistar pulls a small cigarette from his front jacket pocket, "Damn things, I tried to quick them, but couldn't get the nerves calm in the outside world without them," Alistar flicks his thumb, almost like a lighter and a small flame extends from the tip of his thumb to light the cigarette, quickly putting it out after taking a puff of the cigarette. "This organization takes care of people like you and me. They make sure we are housed, feed, powers are contained, and most importantly, we are safe. I don't have any, but I am sure if you have family, they will make sure yours are safe as well. What they want from us is our powered. We are some of the first of the evolutionary in the world and there will be more," Alistar takes a strong draw of his cigarette, "They give us all of this so that we help them to eliminate, contain, or recruit whatever evolutionaries come through the world." "I'll be honest," Alistar said as he released the smoke from his lungs, "I am getting tired of doing this alone..."

Lillian BOT 30-Nov-21 10:35 AM

Lillian listened intently to his words, as far as she could tell he was, in fact, being honest. She watched him flick his thumb and create flame out of nothing and she flinched. She gripped the bench tightly and leaned forward as a flashback hit her. The images of the professor and the hand torch he had used during one of his experiments. Lillian tried to control her breathing, she knew it wasn't actually happening again, she could hear Alistar's voice clearly but it didn't prevent her body from feeling each wound that had been inflicted again. Every word he said rang true, people hated them, some even envied them and wanted to exploit whatever abilities they had. Her whole body shook with tremors as she calmed her breathing. The trees and flowers around them began to sway with each breath she took, ready for action if she needed them. She turned her lavender eyes on Alistar and focused on what he was saying. If she was being honest with herself she didn't want to be a pawn for anyone, but his words of not wanting to do it alone tugged at part of her. Lillian nodded and took one more deep breath before speaking. "If I chose to go along with this.... Department of Mutant and Evolutionary Affairs..." She turned to face him, her eyes almost pleading. "They will not experiment on me. I will aide in what they need but I will not... no I can not go through what I experienced again." She stood abruptly and walked to the waters edge and knelt down, gently caressing a lily pad with the tips of her fingers. The plant grew twice the size it had been previously and Lillian smiled at the flower that began to bloom before them. "I will not hesitate to destroy everything that means me harm, well intentioned or not." She turned and faced Alistar again, the wind blowing her hair and masking half of her face and hiding the sadness within her eyes, "Be it you or the entirety of the organization."

Alistar watched as she went to the water and begin moving the lily pad through her fingers, making it grow in front of his eyes. He smiled. She loved nature, that was for sure and why would she not, she communes with them. Alistar drops his cigarette on the concrete walkway, stomping it out in front of him as he walked over to the girl. "The D.M.E.A. will not experiment on you, I have been with them for more than 6 months and they have not experimented on me." Alistar did not want to let her know that she was under constant surveillance and would be refined to a room until she was allowed free time or an active duty called. "The D.M.E.A. will give you a room and anything you ask for within reason," this was not a lie, anything that Alistar had asked for, he had gotten from them, but he had not really tested his luck. "I am sure they will even let you bring a plant into the dorms with us."

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 04:15 AM

Lillian tucked her hair behind her ear and eyed Alistar. "Well, it doesn't sound terrible but I do feel like you've left some things unsaid. But I will trust you, and if I come to regret it I promise you, you'll be the first to know." She was relieved that they wouldn't experiment on her, and if she was honest it didn't sound terrible. The idea of the extra protection against incidents like in the past was also a perk that she really couldn't turn away. "Well, I wouldn't agree otherwise if they wouldn't let me." She took a deep breath and looked around. "So where do we go from here? I have nothing I need to collect, or people I need to say farewell to... You threw your coms out, should you go to collect it so that we may proceed with whatever the next step will be?" She raised an eyebrow and smiled a small smile. Lillian hoped that she would not come to regret the decision she was about to make, there had been times in her life that she had thought what she was doing was for the best and later hated herself for the choices she had made. Eyeing Alistar she had to admit there was something about him, something that made her want to see exactly this would play out even if it ended horribly. "I do have to ask though, does this... D.M.E.A force even the nonthreatening mutations into these sort of situations?"

Alistar smiled at Lotus, "Thank you," he said with almost joyous voice, he was getting tired of the bloodshed, "And yes, more than likely we will be in the same room together, so I would definitely hear about it before anyone else." Alistar walked back to the communication headset that was left on the grassy area where they first met, pulling the headset to his ear and the walkie talkie back to his belt, grabbing the mic, "We got her, she has agreed to join in." "Black! If you ever do that again, I swear to God, there will not be a next time for you. Get back on the plane and back to HQ," screamed the Captain over the headset, "We will take it from there once you make it in." Alistar walks back to Lotus and smiles at her, extending his hand, "Welcome to the DMEA. If you will follow me, we have a chopper waiting at the end of the park and we will be heading back to HQ."

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 04:39 AM

Hearing that they would be sharing a room made her raise an eyebrow, but otherwise she kept her comments to herself. Lillian removed the flower from her hair and concentrated, roots began to sprout from the small piece of stem and she tucked it back behind her ear. No one would have been able to see but the small roots pierced into her skin and took root. It was the only way that she would have to keep it alive until she had a pot of some sort to put it in, and if she was honest it didn't hurt at all. If anything it made Lillian feel a comfort she couldn't quite describe. "Alright, lead the way." She had never been on a helicopter but she guessed this would be one of the many firsts that she would be experiencing. Before climbing up into the helicopter she turned and got one last look at the park, a sense of loss hit her unexpectedly and she was puzzled as to what exactly she would be losing by the choice she had just made.

After making sure that everyone was on the plane, the plane whirled to life as they began to move into the air, a slight shake to the helicopter began as they angled towards the horizon. While in the air, Alistar stared at the floor, knowing they would be crossing water shortly. He couldn't stand the water. Taking a shower, pools, etc, were fine, but anything like a large open body of water terrified him. So, he stayed quiet for the majority of the trip unless asked asked a question. However, it wasn't very long before they were nearing a open grassy plain in the middle of the country side. As they neared the grass, a large thumping was heard as two doors swung open. Large enough to fit the plane as it landed about 25 feets below ground on a platform. As Alistar and the soldiers began to unbuckle and move around, the platform began to lower even deeper underground. This part usually felt like forever, but after a couple of minutes, the platform slows to a stop. In front of the group stood Captain Winslow, an African-American female, slender with longer black hair wearing traditional military fatigues and a group of military scientists. Alistar had a bad feeling about this...

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 05:44 AM

Lillian didn't mind the ride, it was rather pleasant except for the time it seemed to get to wherever it was they were going. With each mile they made to reach their destination the pit inside her stomach grew, but she shook off the feeling as nothing but nerves. When they passed over the water Lillian felt a sense of relief knowing that there was abundant plant life beneath it's surface, she could feel them calling to her and she took a deep breath in their comfort. Lillian glanced at Alistar and noted he looked uncomfortable, his eyes had never left the floor while they were over the water. She supposed it was due to his fire ability, it was understandable that water made him uncomfortable. The grassy plain was just as breathtaking for Lillian, plant life thriving in abundance. She swallowed a knot that formed in her throat as the huge door open, it was like a pit of blackness into the unknown and it made her uncomfortable. Lillian unbuckled herself and stayed closer to Alistar than the others, she couldn't help it as he was the only thing she was familiar with. She felt dread hit her with a force when her eyes drifted from the woman who seemed to be in charge to those of the scientists behind her. She took several steps back, her eyes growing wide and her heart began to hammer inside her chest with a force. He promised! Scientists meant experiments, Lillian knew that as she was once one herself. He lied Untruths Run The whispers from the flower behind her ear were of no help, the thump thump thumping of her heart grew louder in her ears. Lillian looked around wildly for an exit, any exit. The only word she managed to get out was a whispered "No." The panic attack hit her harder than the one at the park, within seconds she hit the floor as she lost consciousness. The vines around her twisted and coiled wildly around her body to protect her from her fall.

Alistar Black BOT 01-Dec-21 07:32 AM

Alistar fell back to try and catch Lotus, but he was a moment too late as vines from seemingly nowhere appeared to grasp her... "What the fuck are you doing, Winslow?" Alistar let off after he knew she was save, "We just promised her no experiments, no issues, and here you show up with the lab crew..." Winslow steps forward, motioning for the crew to stay where they are. "No experiments, Black," Winslow commanded, "We were gonna check her vitals, her health after being cooped up with that maniac for however long. You will take care to not speak to me in the tone of voice you just did again, lest you forget our arrangement." Winslow pushes forward to the girl, looking over her unconscious body, checking her pulse as she does. "She doesn't seem hurt," Winslow says as she motions for the crew, "Can we just take her to the room for now? We will talk to her later. I have a feeling if we take her in their unconscious, we will have a lot of hurt agents when she wakes up. Alistar!" Alistar snaps his head around to Winslow, "Please watch over her in your dorms for the time being, the moment she is awake, make sure she feels comfortable. I will be there to talk to her soon." Alistar nodded softly as he followed the crew who had picked Lotus up and began walking her to the dormitories. Taking the same path in as he did when he left, he gently helped to keep doors open and move her around as they finally made their way to the dorms. They moved Lotus into the right side of the dorms, a bedroom that was connected to the main common area with no door. Inside of the room, pure white paints and linens surround the room and the king sized bed. Lotus is laid into the middle of the king sized bed and Alistar finds himself sitting on the couch for a moment, drinking in what had just happened.

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 08:22 AM

Darkness. It was the only thing Lillian could sense around her. It was a strange sensation to be floating in a void of nothingness. Time stood still and nothing seemed to matter. Lillian couldn’t help but feel relief that she wasn’t stuck reliving her past trauma again. She looked around and floated aimlessly for what felt like forever before she came upon the familiar lotus flower; it too floating in the nothingness. Lotus The flower seemed to echo the one word over and over and it reverberated inside of her. When she reached out to touch it everything that had happened and what was said while she was unconscious flooded her mind. She felt relief for knowing that Alistar hadn’t actually lied, but it would be hard for her to be around anyone in a white coat for a long time to come. When the images subsided, Lillian came back to consciousness. Lillian slowly blinked, her surroundings were unfamiliar but not unpleasant, if anything it was severely lacking color. There was a pounding in her head from the rush of blood during her panic attack and she slowly sat up placing her head in her hands to block out the bright lights. A soft groan escaped her as she tried to fight the nausea that always followed. Thankfully after a few calm breaths she felt relatively okay, she hoped it would be a while before she had to deal with the agents from before.

Alistar Black BOT 01-Dec-21 08:38 AM

Alistar sat in the common area, in the dim lights of the room, for what felt like hours. Looking up at the clock, it had only been about 3 hours since he had been in the room watching a show on TV. He was still in his 'work' attire, he couldn't seem to focus on anything except making sure that Lotus was okay. He needed to make sure that she was okay. Every couple of minutes, he would wonder from the common area to the dorm room that was now being assigned to Lotus and check on her. Her breathing seemed stable, but she looked like she was chasing or reaching for something as her arms and leg would flinch every so often. In the common area, there sat a large living room, with a couple of desks to work at as well as three couches in a U formation that sat in front of a 80 inch television. Unfortunately, they were unable to watch the news or live programing down here, not because it was prohibited, but it just couldn't be picked up this far underground. But, they did have a WiFi signal. He wasn't sure how that worked, but didn't question it. Netflix was a priority down here. Attached to the same area was a refrigerator with a long counter top containing a coffee pot, a drink cooler, and various condiments for food. Normally, their food was ordered in, so they have to worry about cooking, nor would they be allowed something as dangerous as a stove. As Alistar finally found the nerve to begin changing his work clothes off, he walked to his dorm. While they could request to have changes made to the room, the only thing that Alistar asked was to have everything removed off the bed, except a top sheet and a thin comforter. He wasn't sure if it was his condition or just a natural thing, but he got very warm at night and all the blankets did not help. He grabbed a part of basketball shorts and a long black t-shirt from the drawer of the dresser and changed quickly, throwing his clothes down the clothes chute in the common room for laundry to be done, he waited for Lotus

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 10:21 AM

Lillian slid off the side of the bed to look around the room, there wasn’t much to it and hoped that she could change a few things. There was a dresser and nothing was in it, though she was sure if she asked, they would provide clothing. Though the fines were still wrapped around her body she couldn’t wear them as clothing forever. Not seeing anything else she out of the room. She looked around the communal area and spotted Alistar. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed since she passed out and wondered what he had done while she was unconscious. She stood in the doorway a moment and just observed him, he looked different out of his work attire, more approachable. Lillian took a deep breath and walked up to him; she must have been quiet because he didn’t turn around. She awkwardly cleared his throat to draw attention to herself. “Sorry for earlier. Seeing the scientists in the white coats triggered something in me and I couldn’t control it.” A slight blush tinted her cheeks as she looked away sheepishly. She had talked such a big game about fighting and defending herself earlier. For talking a big game, she must have looked extremely weak.

Alistar Black BOT 01-Dec-21 10:46 AM

Alistar had started to feel himself falling asleep in the chair, so much so that he didn't even notice Lotus waking and walking into the room, as he shoots his head up in her direction, hearing her voice, "Completely understandable," Alistar said with a smile, "I am sure you are tired and wrapped up from everything that has happened." Alistar trailed off. He sat up off the couch and straightened his posture a little bit, "So, this is home," he said with his arms extending out, "The room you came out of, that would be your room. If you don't like the way it looks, you can ask them for anything you want. I honestly haven't met a request that they didn't approve yet."

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 11:37 AM

Lillian looked around when he postured toward the rest of the place. “Is that the full tour?” She offered a playful smile. Hearing that she could ask for things made her heart more at ease. “I will do that then; it has a bit of a... hospital feel right now. Very unpleasant.” Lillian’s stomach slightly rumbled and she blushed with embarrassment and cleared her throat to try and cover up the rest of the noise. She looked toward the kitchen briefly before looking back at Alistar. “Is there food? I can somewhat photosynthesize but seeing as there is not sunlight down here...and it seems I was out for quite a while...” She spotted a fridge but wasn’t sure how full the fridge was, and she didn’t spot a stove anywhere. There was a coffee pot and she was quite happy that there was one, as coffee was one of her guilty pleasures.

Alistar Black BOT 01-Dec-21 12:26 PM

"Sure," he said with a smile, "Just cold stuff, like sandwiches and stuff right now, I am not sure if they haven't added a stove and microwave because they don't trust me or if they know I can heat up my own food. If you don't mind, I can eat up some stuff in there for you." Alistar stood up and walked towards the kitchen area of the room, it was moderately sized, but had the feel of a breakroom kitchen. "What are you hungry for?"

"Do you have any chicken? Either canned or shredded will do." She followed him and leaned over the counter resting her elbows on the countertop, her chin resting in her right hand. "Also, it may sound weird but peanut butter. I like making toasted chicken and peanut butter sandwiches...have since my grandma made my very first one when I was five." She smiled at the memory and she felt a slight tug on her heart. She missed her grandma the most out of all of her family. Lillian watched Alistar briefly before looking through the cupboards. "Glasses? I could use some water." She closed the cabinet she had just searched that seemed to have miscellaneous snacks.

"Uh, there," Alistar pointed to the cabinet right above the sink last countertop, "Glasses are there, and no shredded chicken, but I do have left over fried chicken from the other day. Chicken tenders exactly. If you want I can head those up, bread is in the cabinet next to fridge and here is the peanut butter." Alistar placed the peanut butter on the counter next to the fridge, smiling as he held up the chicken tenders, "They seem homemade-ish? Might be cold, we can call up and have them make you one and bring it if you would like, if not, I can heat the chicken for you."

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 02:13 PM

Lillian wasn't quite ready to face anyone else yet so she shook her head as she stood on her toes and opened the cabinet he pointed to. "I trust you not to burn the chicken." She filled the glass from the sink faucet then headed for the bread, grabbed it and then carried her spoils to where he was. She took a guess at where the silverware would be and guessed correctly and grabbed a butter knife. Lillian noticed some paper towels near the sink and grabbed a few as well. After everything was all together she started prepping her bread with the peanut butter and waited for him to heat the tenders. "So when am I to expect your boss to come and interrogate me?"

Alistar Black BOT 01-Dec-21 02:29 PM

Alistar smirked and nodded at her, "Trust me, I have had plenty of practice at this," he nodded as he pointed to the cabinet about the sink again, "You will see a metal bowl that looks like it has been scorched on the bottom, hand me that." As he grabs the bowl from the girl, he lets the heat come from his hands on the bottom of the bowl. He gently shakes and circles the chicken in the pan. About one to two minutes later, the oil that was left over on the tenders was bubbling again. He smiled as he placed a few paper towels on the counter and laid the chicken on top of it. "I don't know how hot you wanted it, but it should be fully cooked now." As she asked the question, confusion escaped with a shrug, "I am not sure, but I promise, it is nothing more than a physical like at the doctor, except with weird doctors who seem to know all about this mutation that even you know nothing about."

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 02:48 PM

"Thanks" She added the chicken to her bread and added the other bread piece on top. She thought about asking him to toast it but she was really hungry at this point so she just took a bite. Her eyes closed as she chewed, the flavors of the peanut butter and chicken merged and made her immensely happy. She took a couple more bites before speaking again. "Mm. I doubt that." She stared at the sandwich before looking at Alistar. "I was part of the experiments on me... before things got...bad." She made a sour face and set the sandwich down on one of the paper towels she had grabbed. She took a sip of water, "Even after I wasn't included I was still...a part of it." She took another few sips and then set the glass down. "And while I was in my.. cocoon? pod? Whatever you want to call it." She shrugged, "During that time I evolved, I don't even know how to explain it. I just became more than a mutated human..." She pointed to the flower behind her ear. "I can do things with these plants..." She trailed off thinking better of it not to continue. She was sure there were mics all throughout this place. She shrugged, "Sorry, I got carried away." Lillian cleared her throat and picked up the sandwich again, this time taking smaller bites, her eyes on her bare feet.

Alistar Black BOT 01-Dec-21 03:10 PM

"That might be something you want to let the doctors know," Alistar said as she seemed to trail off, "As far as I know, they knew nothing about what was going on in the lab you were in. I know of you as just a signature in the building, but nothing more than that." He smiled as she did seem excited to talk about the plant behind her ear, but felt her regress. "If you are worried about talking or saying anything, the only camera, that I know of I should say, is above the front door. However, I don't know of anything else if there is." He stood for a moment with her, in awkward silence for a moment, before stating, "Uh, if you like to watch movies or television, we have Netflix on that TV. There might be more, but I don't deal with stuff like that."

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 03:27 PM

Lillian glanced to the camera and made a note to remember that. She was relieved that there wasn't cameras in the bedrooms, that would have been rather uncomfortable for her. She finished her sandwich and glass of water during the awkward silence. She wiped her mouth with the spare paper towel to remove any leftover crumbs on her face. At the offer of Netflix she perked up, "I haven't seen anything in the last year!" She looked over at the couches and the television. "Do we have time to watch something? I would love to watch something." Lillian placed her dirty dishes in the sink and threw away her trash then headed toward the couches. "Or do you have any board games? I haven't done anything remotely fun since...yeah."

Alistar Black BOT 01-Dec-21 03:41 PM

"Uh," Alistar stammered, "No board games, but you can tell them to bring them down if you would like some, I really haven't had a need for that since I have been the only one here since I arrived about six months ago." Alistar walked over to the couch and joined her, allowing her to have her own couch as he sat in the one to her left. He smiled over at her, "We should have plenty of time, unless they come looking for you. Usually I don't know if anything is coming down the pipe. If anything is needed, they will call from the intercom," he pointed at a speaker that was above the television, "Other than that, today is Friday? You have two days before they start doing classes or work of any kind. The work or classes can vary, I can't even explain what to watch out for." As he handed the remote to the television over to Lotus, he smiled at her, "It is all yours, flower."

Lillian BOT 01-Dec-21 04:08 PM

"Thanks" She blushed at the nickname and took the remote. She looked away quickly hoping he didn't notice. She cleared her throat, "Let's see." Lillian turned on the tv and clicked the Netflix button. "She browsed through many categories but settled on a romance comedy that said it was released within the last year. She grabbed one of the many couch pillows and hugged it to her chest as she tucked her feet beneath her. Every once in awhile between movie scenes she would glance over at Alistar. He had been really kind to her since he first walked into the park. It could have gone done in such a different way back at the park and she was thankful that it hadn't. A very intimate scene appeared on the television and Lillian hid her face inside the pillow. She wasn't a prude by any means but it'd been awhile. There were a few scenes that made her laugh whole heartedly and the rest of the tension she had felt from the day melted away. When the credits began to roll she hit the back button on the remote. "Um...anything you would like to watch? Suggestions?"

Alistar Black BOT 02-Dec-21 01:59 AM

His reactions were half way between watching the movie and half way watching Lotus' reaction to the movie. He smiled as she hid herself away behind a pillow during the intimate scenes, "It is like you are watching the dirty scenes with your parents," Alistar commented sarcastically at that point. After the movie had finished and she hit back on the remote, he looked at the clock in the room, 7:19pm. Fortunately for them, they were not going to be called up for anything hopefully tonight, a free weekend ahead of them is possible. He has had one too many of those alone in this bunker in the last couple of months. It is nice to have a friend down here, "Hold on," he stated with a smile, "Let me go grab something." Heading to his room in the side of the common area, he grabs a couple of pillows and his blanket. Moving back to the common room, he tosses one of the pillows to Lotus playfully before bring them the blanket to the couch, "This should be way big enough for both of us to fit under, I will call up for some popcorn. You pick the next movie since it has been so long." As walked to the kitchen, where an intercom stood next to the fridge, hitting the button and hearing a ding, "Can I help you?" a gruff sounding voice sounded over the intercom to which Alistar, "Yeah, can I have like two of those popcorn pans that you fry on the stove?" A grunt was heard, which usually meant approval on his end. As Alistar returned to talk to Lotus for a few moments, but maybe 2 minutes after he rang the intercom, the door to the common room swung open and two popcorn tins were laid inside.

Lillian BOT 02-Dec-21 04:54 AM

Lillian caught the pillow when he threw it to her and placed it beside her. After hearing popcorn, she got excited. “I love popcorn!” She watched him head over to the intercom before browsing the movie list. She was stuck between a horror movie about a haunted doll and the newest installation of what appeared to be fast and furious. Lillian shook her head; she was surprised they were still coming up with new plots for the franchise. When the doors opened and the popcorn was delivered, she decided that her curiosity for the car movie wasn’t enough to justify watching it so she clicked on the horror flick. Before it could start to play, she hit the pause button and waited for Alistar to finish with the popcorn. Lillian set the remote on the pillow he had tossed her and got up from the couch. She looked around a moment before making her way over to where Alistar stood. “Uhm...” She bit her lip. “Mind if I take a quick bathroom break before we start the movie?” She tucked her hair behind her ear. If they were going to be sitting near each other she wanted to be clean. “Also, there weren’t clothes in my room... I don’t actually normally wear the vines like this... could I borrow a shirt or something?”

Alistar Black BOT 02-Dec-21 05:00 AM

Alistar nervously stared at the floor, "Oh, uh, I didn't know..." He said with a boyish innocence to his voice, "I thought that was like a body mutation, I am so sorry." Alistar stood and without even thinking, he pulled off his long black t-shirt and handed it to the girl. He panicked in that moment as he didn't think she was just naked under the vines. Alistar's body shined in the glare of the natural lighting fixtures that surrounded the roof of the room. He was standing at 6'1", weighing in at a smaller 145 pounds. This mutation of fire made it to where his body burned calories and stayed lean so he currently, while skinny, his abs did show through his skin. He had small burn marks over his body though. Something that usually came with the fire skills that he had. "Bathroom is right over there," Alistar pointed, "It is like a college bathroom, so don't be surprised at how large the shower is."

Lillian BOT 02-Dec-21 05:31 AM

She thought his reaction was adorable. “It’s okay, my old clothes kind of deteriorated while I was in the pod and I guess I subconsciously had the vines cover my body.” Lillian was dumbfounded when he offered her the shirt of his back, and even more so when she got a good look at what was underneath it. He towered over her already with her being just under 5’6” but adding in his muscular form she felt heat rush to her face. “Oh.” She just stared for a few moments before realizing she hadn’t actually taken the shirt from him. Clearing her throat, Lillian took the shirt gently. “Ah...thanks. I won’t take long, promise.” She offered a small smile before she headed to the bathroom. He hadn’t been kidding about the size of the shower. Lillian placed the shirt on the sink counter and stared at herself in the mirror. She hadn’t actually seen how she looked since she had woken, she was shocked at how wild and untamed she looked. It was an odd feeling, seeing her once brown hair now a shade of green that one would see in a forest. Her blue eyes now her favorite shade of purple like a flower. Lillian touched her cheeks as she leaned over the counter to get a closer look. She carefully removed the lotus flower from behind her ear as she willed it to remove it’s roots from her body. She ran some water in the sink and put down the stopper before gently placing it in the water to float. For now, she would leave it there until she had a proper bowl for it. Next, she had the vines uncoil to reveal her ivory pale skin. She placed them beside the shirt and let one end dangle in the sink full of water.

Lillian wasn’t too thin nor too thick in the waste as she observed herself. The small portion of weight she had before the flare it had all but disappeared. She wondered if that was because her body turned it into nutrients while she had been suspended inside the pod. She bit her lip and turned slowly to observe her body and found it oddly amusing that the carpet actually matched the drapes and let out a laugh, at least she still had all her curves in the right places. Lillian turned on the shower head and waited for the water to warm, before too long steam swirled in the air. She stepped under the water and relished in the stinging sensation against her skin. Lillian remembered that she had promised not to take too long so she washed herself as quickly as she could. She found a towel and dried off before slipping his shirt on. It practically swallowed her, the hem of it ending just mid-thigh. Even with the shirt Lillian felt a bit exposed so she used the vines to at least cover her lower half sort of like bikini bottoms. Satisfied with her appearance she headed back out to the common area. “Sorry if I was terribly long...” She glanced at a clock that hung on a wall, she had spent about twenty minutes in the shower which wasn’t bad, if anything she normally liked spending at least an hour in the shower. “Thank you again, for the shirt...”

Alistar Black BOT 02-Dec-21 06:15 AM

As she moved away into the shower, Alistar walked back into his room, pulling another shirt, a sleeveless gray shirt, from the dresser. As he threw that over his head, exiting the room again, he stopped for a moment to grab both containers of popcorn from the side desk of the door. Usually when anything was delivered, if it took a couple of minutes or multiple days, it would show up on the desk next to the door by one of the agents or staff from the facility. Walking back to the couch, he put his hands under both individual containers as he walked, letting heat flow from his hands and gently popping the popcorn in the container.

Satisified with the popping of the popcorn, he sat down next to Lotus' spot on the couch, making himself a spot next to her where he could share the blanket. Seeing her exit the bathroom, he alerted, "Uh, next time you have clothes, you can dump them in the chute there and they can be washed and laundred. I am sure they will give you some clothing to chose from or let you pick some out over the next couple of days. Uh, the movie is ready to be picked andn popcorn is ready whenever you are!"

Lillian BOT 02-Dec-21 06:31 AM

Lillian nodded and made her way over to her spot and sat down next to Alistar. She tucked her legs back underneath her after getting underneath his blanket. She looked from him to the television. "I picked a horror movie, is that alright? I love horror movies but am terrible with jump scares." She warned him and gave him a very serious look. "So if I scream, I apologize before hand." Lillian grabbed one of the popcorns that was offered and popped one in her mouth. "Mmmm" She thoroughly enjoyed the buttery taste that hit her tongue. She cradled the popcorn with one hand while hitting play on the remote with the other. She was highly aware of Alistar as the movie began to play, he radiated heat and Lillian couldn't help but move a little closer. The room temperature wasn't terrible, but the warmth he gave off was more tempting than the possibility of being cold. She glanced at him as the opening credits finished rolling and the main character in the movie made their entrance on the screen. "Have you seen this one before?" Normally she didn't talk during shows or films but she had been deprived of human connections for six months.

Alistar Black BOT 03-Dec-21 02:28 AM

Alistar sat back into the couch, letting her get comfortable before he would adjust his position. He smiled at her as she got underneath the blanket, "It ill be fine," He laughed at her explanation of the jump scares and if she will scream or not, "As long as you allow me the same courtesy, I don't do very well with jump scares myself." He chuckled for the moment before they sat down with their individual popcorns and begane the movie. As the movie continued to play, Alistar really realized how much he had missed human interaction and contact in this hole in the ground. It is not like he doesn't have interaction, but nothing in this friendly of a nature. His body began to heat up momentarily as he stared at her. She really was gorgeous, in mind drifting to inappropriate thoughts. It had been so long since he had been in the presence of a friendly person, let alone lived with one now. Breaking him out of his concentration in the moment, "I haven't," he said with a shrug, "I am not a big fan of horror movies, I tend to go the route of the 90s nostaglia flicks, but watch, I think she is getting ready to get her head cut off." Without a moment of thought, the camera cuts to a woman, who's head is currently chopped off by a machete. It makes Alistar jump and he fells his hand fall onto Lotus' thigh. "Uh," he smiled at her, "sorry..."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 04:14 AM

Lillian had been so absorbed into the movie that when he said the head would be cut off she hadn't quite heard it. So when it actually happened she herself jumped, instinctually moving closer to Alistar. When his hand fell to her thigh her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She hadn't had any kind of physical touch in so long, it felt really good. To the point where she shook her head, a lump stuck in her throat. "N-No...it's okay." Lillian turned back to the movie but didn't scoot back over, so their shoulders were practically touching. The next few scenes were not as scary and Lillian started to get comfortable again. Lillian took a few bites of popcorn and was about to grab another when a ghost popped up on the screen out of nowhere. She yelped and she threw her popcorn while she tried to hide on Alistar's arm. Lillian grabbed his shirt as she buried her face. "Tell me when it's over please!" She peeked at the tv, the main character in the movie was currently running on the television screen. Lillian sighed and sat upright, her hand trying to smooth his shirt where she had grabbed it for dear life. "Ah...sorry. I wrinkled it."

Alistar Black BOT 03-Dec-21 04:19 AM

"It is okay," Alistar smiled as she hid herself, but once she pulled away, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, "I mean, maybe this will help." Alistar was being a little forward, more forward than he should be. This could ruin the whole mood, friendship, or more, he could be moved away from him and he loses all connection. But, he continued. He let his arm wrap around her shoulders as she attempted to pull her in for a moment, "Uh," Alistar stammered, "if this is too much..."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 04:49 AM

Lillian fervently shook her head, it was definitely not too much, if anything it wasn't enough. Being this close she could smell him and he smelt intoxicating, tempting even. She felt her heartbeat inside her throat and she rested her head on him. She looked at him and swallowed her nerves. "I-It's..." Lillian knew they had just met earlier that day but both of them had been lacking in human intimacy of any kind, so both of them were probably craving it. "...nice." She looked back at the movie but couldn't seem to focus. She could hear his heartbeat in her ear, feel his warmth radiating and enveloping her. Sucking in a breath of air Lillian let her arm wrap around Alistar's waist. She repositioned her body to get more comfortable, her feet were no longer under her but slightly stretched out. The movie looked like it was about to wrap up and Lillian tried to pay attention.

Alistar Black BOT 03-Dec-21 04:57 AM

Alistar's heart began pounding in his chest, he was sure she could hear it. It was definitely beating faster than he had hear before. As they were finishing the final piece of the movie, Alistar looked down at Lotus' catching her eye, he looks down at her for a moment, letting their eyes lock and linger. Alistar began to lean in, looking to kiss this beautiful flower in front of him, but a loud series of knock can be heard on the door before it slides open, causing Alistar to jump. It is Capt. Winslow with several agents, scientists that Alistar had met before, but sans the white coat. "Sorry to interrupt..." she motions to the two snuggled on the couch, "Whatever that is, but Lotus? Can you come with us? It is introduction, movement, and physical time."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 05:27 AM

Lillian sat up quickly and very awkwardly looked away, her cheeks were a very deep shade of red. She cleared her throat and tried to sound cool, and totally not as worked up as she currently was. They had almost kissed...almost. What was she thinking? She barely knew Alistar, Lillian mentally scolded herself before looking at Winslow. "Oh, um. Yes..." She stood abruptly and smoothed out the shirt, feeling more exposed. She would definitely need to ask for some clothes. "Lead the way..." Lillian would follow them out, she was thankful they weren't wearing the coats. She guessed with her reaction earlier they wanted to play it safe. Before the door shut behind her she would glance back at Alistar. She used the time they were walking to cool her head, and get her heartbeat back in it's normal sinus rhythm.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 08:05 AM

As the group heads out the door and leaves Alistar sitting alone in his dorm, Capt. Winslow looked back at the girl, smiling, "Lotus is what I have heard so far, is that what you would like to continue to be called?" They move through several different doors in varying directions, almost enough to make you dizzy as they had through. Once they have managed to make it to the infirmary/lab of the facility. Capt. Winslow stops before the doors open, "We need to make sure that you are okay and your mutation is not causing you a dangerous issue, would you allow us to exam you without any issue?"

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 08:35 AM

"Lotus is fine." Lillian couldn't tell if they knew her real name or not but she wouldn't ask. Looked at the floor and her bare legs as they continued walking. How many corridors were in the place? She shouldn't make sense of direction even if she tried. Having being asked surprised her, as she had expected them to just get to it, so it took Lillian a minute to get a grip. "Oh well yes, I left the vines and flower back there anyway. Just please let me know what everything is for before hand so that I understand why it is needed, will help me not...freak out." She sheepishly looked away and shrugged. Let them think that she had to have a connection with a plant... the less they knew about her full capabilities the better.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 08:43 AM

"So, obviously you have some kind of partnership or mutation that allows you to control or create flora, would you say that is correct?" Capt. Winslow said as she flashed a badge in front of a card reader on the door. As the door opened, she is met with the sight of a tens, if not hundreds, of scientist and agents running around, conducting individual experiments in huge rooms. Vials of liquid can be seen as well as various testing chambers. However, this is below them as it appears they are walking through a control room that over looks everything. "Right this way, Ms. Lotus," Capt. Winslow ushered her along, "We have a room here, kinda like a patient room in a doctors office where we will be taking care of you. We will also have several agents coming in to take clothing, design, and additional requests you might need."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 08:56 AM

"Something like that. I can't create something out of nothing though. That would be pretty wild." She sucked in a breath at the sight all of all that was going on below. She continued to follow the captain after shaking off the building nerves. Of course it shouldn't be a surprise the government would have such a huge lab. The lab she had previously been was not even a fraction of this. She let out the air she had been holding when they were in front of the room. She nodded, "That would be helpful thanks. Kind of...down to my bare minimum here." She chuckled nervously trying to lighten the mood.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 08:58 AM

"I kinda noticed that you and Alistar were 'warming up

"I kinda noticed that you and Alistar were 'warming up' to one another," Capt. Winslow made air quotes, "It is definitely not against the rules, I would in fact encourage it. However, if things get out of hand, just know we can have you moved out." As she opens another door, they are finally met with a dead stop, "Here is the room," Winslow said with a motioning, presenting hand, "Wait here and we will have a trail of people coming to talk to you. Once they are done, I will be back to pick you up and guide you back to the room."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 09:15 AM

"Uh...right." Lillian blushed and made sure to not look directly at the captain. Talk about awkward. She cleared her throat as the captain opened the door to the room. "Uhm okay..." She walked into the room and hopped up on the examining table. She looked around the room and scrunched her face. She hated the smell of disinfectant. She hummed a song to herself as she waited for whoever was going to enter first.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 09:22 AM

After about five or so minutes of waiting, Lotus was greeted with the welcoming smile of a small, relatively young Asian female doctor, "Hi, Lotus, I am Dr. Wu, I am the general practice doctor here, I am here to just kinda give you a look over and make sure everything is okay. My associates, they will be little bit more deeper with their examinations, but I am just here to make sure your physical health is okay." She smiled as she extended her hand to the girl, "If you wanna go ahead and lay back, we will look you over."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 09:53 AM

Lillian offered the small woman a half hearted smile and shook her hand. "Alright." She swung her legs onto the table and laid back, the thin paper beneath her crinkled as she did. She laid her hands beside her not knowing exactly what to do with them. They were clamy from her nerves and she tried her best to just pretend she was at a regular doctor's office and not a lab where they have experimental devices and who knows what else to use on mutants.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 09:58 AM

As Dr. Wu began moving around her body, she first placed the blood pressure monitor on her arm, allowing it read her automatically a couple of times to get a good average of what her blood pressure would be. While the test was going, she continued to move through the process, placing a heart rate monitor on her finger to get a read of that as well. "Did you have an existing conditions before your mutation?" Dr. Wu asked as she wrote on the chart the numbers she was seeing.

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 11:58 AM

"No, I was a healthy kid, teen, and adult." Lillian shook her foot back and forth and stared at a black speck on the ceiling. "Unless you count having stitches from falling and getting scrapes every now and again." She nervously chuckled. If the doctor observed her skin closely she wouldn't find not even a scrape or preexisting scar on Lillian's body, which did not match up with her story.

Deleted User 03-Dec-21 12:02 PM

"Well, excellent," Dr. Wu smiled as she continued with her exams, "Are you comfortable with breast and pelvic exam? I can understand if you are not, but we like to do these every couple of months to ensure nothing is wrong." As she continues to write notes on the mutated individual in front of her, she was joined by another agent, "Ah, Mr. Jones!" Dr. Wu said with a smile, "Everything seems to be normal, but we might have a few more tests to go through." "Take your time, Dr. Wu," said the tall slender white male, as he looked through the paperwork with her, "Next test will be showing your skills, I just wanted to check, do you need anything to help perform your abilities?"

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 12:30 PM

"Ah no I don't mi-" She cut off as another person entered the room. Lillian didn't know what to make of the newcomer, she put her hands on the shirt to make sure nothing was exposed. "Um yes...I left them back in the bathroom sink where I was before. There's a rope of vines and a lotus flower. They need water if they aren't with me..." She looked at him, and hoped if someone was going to get them that they would actually take care of them and not hurt them. It took a lot for her to nurture those vines.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 12:32 PM

"Ah, okay," Mr. Jones said he started to exit the room, "Would a vase help with that, or glass? I am sorry, flora care is not my strong suite at all." Mr. Jones waited for her answer as Dr. Wu prepared to do the exams.

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 12:34 PM

"A glass bowl will be fine. Just enough water, don't want them to drown and the flower should float. Thank you" She offered a small smile, he seemed well enough. "They aren't too fragile I just...they're important to me."

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 12:45 PM

"No worries, completely understand," Mr. Jones stated as he began to walk out of the room and Dr. Wu spoke up, "Alright, let's go ahead and get started. If you would, please remove your shirt and any undergarments." She rolled over a doctors stool to the side of the table and waited for her before continuing.

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 12:56 PM

Lillian removed the shirt and folded it neatly, as for her bottoms she willed the vines to move and coil around her left arm. "All read, Doc."

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 01:01 PM

"Alright," Dr. Wu said as he began to maneuver her into position, performing the exams, starting with the breast exam, she began to squeeze each breast, looking for lumps and making sure that no spot appears as well. Looking for abnormalities. After a few moments, she said, "Okay, and if you would," Dr. Wu stood moving stir ups into place, place your legs in here for me."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 01:14 PM

"At least buy me dinner first." Lillian gave an awkward laugh as she got herself into the position. "Sorry" She literally almost facepalmed herself.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 01:16 PM

"Well," Dr. Wu laughed, "I will have an extra steak dinner sent to the dorm for you." As she begin her procedure, she spoke up, "I have heard that your energy signature was read in the same place for the last six months, but before that, when was the last time you had sexual intercourse, so I can get a good gauge here."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 01:29 PM

Lillian thought back to when she had that wild night just after getting the job at the lab, and before the flare. Damn "About...two...and a half years? Give or take a week." No wonder she was getting all bothered by Alistar just being in close proximity earlier before they were interrupted.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 01:36 PM

"Ah," Dr. Wu said, with almost a confused tone, "There seems to be a little bit of additional discharge down here, some wetness." Dr. Wu shook it off as he wiped away whatever excess was there and smiled up as she appears back from under the cloth moments later, "Everything looks good to go, Ms. Lotus!" Dr. Wu wheels herself back to the middle of the room and begins scrabbling on the notes in front of her. "I think that will do it for me," Dr. Wu said with a smile, "Unless any sudden sickness or anything pops up, you probably won't see me for another month, but until then it was a pleasure, Ms. Lotus." Dr. Wu exits the room.

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 01:49 PM

Lillian got dressed again, she didn't know who was going to enter the room next and she wasn't wanting some other stranger to see her body. She looked around the room and waited for the next person to come in.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 02:13 PM

After a few moments of hesistation, Mr. Jones knocked on the door, cracking it slight, "Are you decent, Ms. Lotus?" After getting approval, Mr. Jones comes walking in with a glass bowl with the vine and flower present in them, "Is this your items?"

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 02:16 PM

"They are yes." She hopped off the table and over to Jones, she held her hand near the vine and it coiled around her right arm to match the left. For the flower she picked it up and tucked it back behind her ear. "So testing my abilities, huh?" She looked at the man.

Deleted User 03-Dec-21 02:19 PM

"Just a demonstration and some notes," Mr. Jones added as he placed a camera on a tripod in front of the two of them, "What we are looking to see is what you can do in a major way and any other abilities you might have in a minor way."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 02:38 PM

"Descriptive." She eyed the camera and the Jones. When he gave her the signal Lillian willed the vines to move down her arms and wrap around Jones's pants leg. Not tightly, just enough to show she could control it. Next she had them come back to her while she was across the room. She pulled the flower from behind her ear, and the roots could be seen ripping out of her skin and it healing pretty much instantly. You were gone. Man brought us to you. He talks to himself. He's a funny man. Lillian smiled and looked from the flower to Mr.Jones. "She says you're a funny man...apparently you talked to yourself on the way here?" She arched a green eyebrow.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 02:45 PM

"Well, uh," Mr. Jones looked visibly uncomfortable for a second, "Does singing and talking to try and remember my way back to this room count as talking to yourself?" He looked delighted in the next moment, "So, they can tell you what they see? Do they tell you anything else?

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 02:48 PM

Lillian shrugged. "They tell me what they want, or if I'm in danger. Or just to talk, I'm sure you heard that old saying about how talking to plants helps them grow? Well, I guess mines just a little more extra"

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 02:51 PM

"Fascinating," he said as he began to scrabble notes on a pad in front of him, "So, what about growth? Agents mentioned that you were able to grow any plant? I see how you have moved the vines, but what about another plant like the flower there?"

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 02:53 PM

"Well, yes generally... If you could bring me a seed of any kind of plant I could make it mature before your eyes." She put the flower back behind her ear. "If I mature the lotus any more it would die, so I would like to refrain from doing that." The last bit was a little of a fib, but she didn't really want the d.m.e.a to know exactly everything.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 02:59 PM

"Ah, we wouldn't want that, it is definitely a lovely flower," Mr. Jones smiled, "So, I assume, as with flowers, your weakness would be flame, fire, and mishandlement." The last word came out with a bit of confusion from Mr. Jones, but he went with it. "We want to make sure that you avoid any issues like that."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 03:03 PM

Lillian noted the confusion and kind of wanted to laugh at the way it was worded. "I have ptsd from my old job... I worked for Professor Weiss...before the flare. After he went a little...mad" She hoped she wouldn't have to elaborate more than that. She could already feel herself shaking.

Capt. Winslow BOT 03-Dec-21 03:13 PM

"Professor Weiss," Mr. Jones scrabbled down that name with a little bit of uncertainty, "I have no idea who that name is." "But, we will get you the best care we can for the PTSD issues, and any other mental issues that you might have. He leaned forward, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder, "Actually, that should be your next person to introduce themselves. Do you prefer a female or male therapist?"

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 03:21 PM

Lillian looked at Mr. Jones. "A woman, most definitely." She answered with a sigh.

Alistar Black BOT 03-Dec-21 03:24 PM

Mr. Jones smiles as he stands up, collecting the camera equipment, "One other thing I did wanna ask before I got," Mr. Jones looked intently at her, "Do you feel safe in the same dorms as Alistar? He does have a fire mutation and I know that it wouldn't work well with your mutation. If you feel like you might be better in your own area, I would completely understand."

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 03:36 PM

Lillian shook her head side to side quickly. "Oh no, please don't move me!" She said that a little louder than she intended. "He's the first nice person since my whole...incident." She cleared her throat. "I would like to stay where I am." She tried to play it off cool, but even she could tell she wasn't fooling anybody.

Alistar Black BOT 03-Dec-21 03:49 PM

Mr. Jones giggled for a moment, "Ah, I think I see what is going on," he said as he smiled at her, "Don't worry, I won't say anything. We will be meeting weekly or so, just to check and see if anything new has come about and possibly to train your powers, otherwise, you will see me for classes or training that might happen." Mr. Jones gathers his equipment and begins to the door, "I will be sending Susan in next, she is the therapist on call. I don't even think we have a male therapist at this point..." He pondered as he shut the door on his way out, leaving Lotus with her vines and flower.

Lillian BOT 03-Dec-21 03:54 PM

Lillian sighed. She wasn't even sure she was ready to talk to someone about this stuff. She looked down at her feet and sighed. One of the vines moved up to stroke her cheek as if to comfort her. She wondered what Alistar was doing during all this. He was probably having more fun than she was at this point.

Alistar Black BOT 05-Dec-21 02:16 PM

As Susan walked in, an air of easiness teased through the room. Susan, a 5'1, 290 pound white woman walked through the door with a little bit of a clatter. Covering her eyes were dark black glasses and at the end of her hand, a walking stick guided the way. "Hello, Lotus!" She excitedly said as she strides into the room and cluttered to a seat.

Deleted User 05-Dec-21 02:20 PM

Lillian BOT 05-Dec-21 03:30 PM

Lillian raised a curious eyebrow as the new woman entered. She felt more at ease and Lillian could tell she would like the woman. "Well, hello. I assume you are the lady who's going to help me with my f-" She cleared her throat. "With my messed up ptsd flashbacks?" She chewed on her bottom lip and bounced her left foot right and left as it dangled on the examining table.

Alistar Black BOT 05-Dec-21 03:35 PM

Susan sat with a bit of care, smiling in the direction of the sound in front of her, "Ah, yes, I am actually the residential therapist for the DMEA. And I will be working with you on any issues that you might have or incur while on the job." Smiling brightly at her, but frowning at the words PTSD flashbacks, "I am so sorry that you had to go through anything like that, but yes, that is definitely what we are here to get through. Since it is your first day here, we will not be going too much into things, but I will be meeting with you weekly to just kind of going over things. Unless you think more would be needed?"

Lillian BOT 05-Dec-21 04:32 PM

Lillian shook her head, then realized the woman seemed to be blind and blushed with embarrassment. "Um, no, once a week should be plenty." Stopped shaking her foot. "So, what exactly are we doing today then? Are we almost done?" It's not that she meant any harm to the woman, it's just Lillian felt like she'd been in here forever.

Alistar Black BOT 05-Dec-21 04:45 PM

Susan smiled, "I know," she said as she nodded, "Almost, the girls in decoration and fashion will be bringing you back to your room to look into possible decoration of your room as well as fashion that you might like to wear." Susan stood and reached her hand out to shake her new patient's hand. After the handshake, she began movement towards the door. Getting met as Stacy and Kayla entered the room. "Hi, Lotus!" the girls said almost in unison, "I am Stacy and she is Kayla, we are here to help you decide what kind of decorations or accommodations you would like or any clothing you would prefer!"

Lillian BOT 05-Dec-21 05:38 PM

Lillian blinked a few times, it would take a minute to get used to these two, she wondered where they got their energy from. "Okay...cool." She tried to hint at being excited but in all honesty she had been through a lot in the day and it was starting to wear on her. The only perk was maybe she could convince them to decorate with more plants and paint those horrible white walls, but she wanted to do that herself. She loved painting. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be, and I would really appreciate some clothes to call my own.

Deleted User 06-Dec-21 02:50 AM

As Stacy and Kayla greet themselves, they are almost as quickly ushering her out the door of the medical bay. They were accompanied by guards as they began to move back to the dorm area. At this point, Stacy and Kayla begin to ask several questions as they walk towards the dorms, "So, I know it is early, but did you have some kind of theme in mind for your dorm so we can begin picking out decorations?"

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 03:32 AM

Lillian followed as they walked, the floor beneath her feet were cold, she was definitely looking forward to some shoes. She hadn't minded when she was in the park, feeling the life beneath her feet. But the cold concrete wasn't as welcoming as fresh cut grass. "Alright, yeah I do. Green." She knew it was on the nose but she didn't care. "Lights that imitate sunlight, and I want some paints, if I can. To paint a mural in the walls."

Deleted User 06-Dec-21 03:39 AM

Both Stacy and Kayla scrabbled down the notes that she had left, "We head that you had a plant mutation, so that definitely makes sense," Kayla stated, before Stacy chimed in as well, "You could like, like a heat lamp or just something that is bright like the sun?" They continued through the hallway.

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 04:27 AM

"There's specific types of lamps that help plants. LED red and blue lamps. Shouldn't be too terribly hard to find." Lillian held put an arm and let the vines coil down it like a snake, the leaves slightly tickling her skin as it did. It mimicked the movements of a snake towards one of the girls. "Plant mutation, yeah." The vine went back up to her upper arm and rested back against her skin. "So, I heard mention of clothes? That involves shoes too, yes?" She really hated the floors and how cold her feet were. Plus, what girl didn't like a good pair of shoes?

Deleted User 06-Dec-21 04:52 AM

"OMG!" Kayla said, letters not the analogy, at the sight of the vine moving out and towards them, "That is so awesome, can you show me that again sometime?" Stacy quickly chimed in, "Uh, yes, shoes or anything else you want. You name it and we have been authorized to get it. So, who is your favorite designer or brands?"

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 05:17 AM

Lillian offered a smile, she liked this girl Kayla. "Sure, I don't think the vines would mind..." She looked at Stacy and thought for a moment. "I'm not brand specific. I actually love shopping for vintage clothes from the fifties to seventies and make them my own with a few tweaks and such in styling methods." She stared down at her bare feet. "As for shoes my go tos would be converse shoes or simple flats if I'm going somewhere with fancy attire."

Deleted User 06-Dec-21 05:25 AM

As they rounded the last door, Kayla and Stacy continued to jot down information on an iPad. "Of course, of course," Stacy would say as she began clicking into the iPad frantically, "So, no issues whatsoever, so as for simple wear, if you will check your dressers, you should have shirts, shorts, scrub bottoms, if needed, socks, underwear, bras, and simple slide on shoes for right now." They walked into the dorm's common room. Unfortunately. Alistar is nowhere to be seen at that moment, but Lotus would not have time to look as she was quickly moved back to her room again, "So, we will need to take some simple measurements for you. So, please stand here and we will measure you out so we can get an accurate fitting for your clothes."

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 06:36 AM

Lillian looked around and slightly frowned when she couldn't spot Alistar anywhere. When she was directed toward her room she nodded. She stood there and held her arms out. Her measurements were not much to note in her mind, her bust measured out to be thirty-eight inches, her waist sat at about twenty-nine, she had a little plumpness to her hips and bottom but she tried not to dwell too much on that. "For shoes, I wear about an eight and a half, sometimes nine. I can't handle people touching my feet." It wasn't that she hated it, but more that she was ticklish and even the firmest touch from someone could make her involuntarily kick someone. It had happened before, poor dude ended up with a broken nose. She laughed at her memory. "Anything else needed?"

Deleted User 06-Dec-21 07:03 AM

Stacy chimed in, "Nope, that seems to be about all we need," she handed the numbers over to Kayla, "I think this will give us a good idea on what to get and we will pass them along once we get back to the clothing storage. If you think of anything else you want or need, please let me know and we will get them for you as soon as possible. Other than that, we will see you in a couple of days with your clothes!" Both girls said their goodbyes and began to leave, leaving Lotus in her room alone for the moment. Alistar still no where to be found.

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 07:39 AM

Lillian smiled, "Thank you." When the girls were gone she looked through the drawers of the dresser and grabbed a pair of underwear. Stacy hadn't been joking about simple, none of them were cute or appealing but she'd take it over using the vines. She hummed to herself as she slipped on a pair and some socks. She voted to keep Alistar's shirt on because if she was honest with herself she liked the way it smelled. Thinking of Alistar, she went to search for him, her first stop his room. She knocked lightly on the door frame and waited. She wondered if maybe he had gone to sleep.

Alistar Black BOT 06-Dec-21 08:11 AM

Alistar had done just that, tired from days adventures and nearing 9:30pm at this point, Alistar found himself falling asleep in bed. He had moved from the couch to the bedroom, moving his pillows and blanket back with him. As Lotus would knock lightly, she would be greeted with gentle snoring as Alistar laid in his bed, covered in the blanket from earlier as well as clutching one of the pillows in a cuddling position.

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 08:44 AM

Lillian couldn't help be peek into the room to see, and boy was she thankful. The image of him cuddling the pillow tugged at her heart. She smiled and tiptoed away from his room and headed back to hers. It didn't take her long to fall asleep after she had climbed in and her head hit the pillow. For once, Lillian didn't have nightmares as she slept, instead the image of Alistar almost kissing her played out inside her head; it leading from one thing to the next. When she would wake in the morning her cheeks would be flush and her heartbeat erratic.

Alistar Black BOT 06-Dec-21 09:02 AM

Once morning came, Alistar stirred awake between 4am and 5am, sitting up in bed and rubbing his eyes. He looked at the dark room around him, what little light pouring in from the common room, he could see that the door was a little ajar, probably the night guards checking on them. As he stood and stretched himself out, all he could think about in that moment was Lotus and how her 'orientation' went yesterday, but he wasn't going to wake her, if she had even come back. Alistar walked into the common area, heading directly for the kitchen. Over the intercom, he called out an order, "Hey, can I get two breakfasts? Full plate, everything on em." It was a common order he had of the mornings, he loved having a bigger breakfast, but it helped that his body did burn more calories than the average person as well. He wasn't sure if Lotus would eat in the same way, but what she didn't eat, he could, he thought to himself as he sat at the island in the kitchen. About 15 minutes after the order, the big breakfasts were delivered. He placed the covered dishes on the counter, waiting for Lotus to wake up and he would surprise her with breakfast.

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 09:33 AM

Lillian slowly sat up, not quite wanting to get out of the comfortable bubble of warmth her body had created under the covers last night. She yawned and rubbed at her eyes to rid them of sleep. She thought she heard Alistar out in the common area and decided that was enough motivation to get up and dressed for the day. She rummaged through the drawers and settled on a plain white spaghetti strap shirt, and a pair of short shorts in a dark shade of green. She didn't have a mirror so she tried her best to calm her ruffled hair before stepping out of the room. Her lavender eyes landed on Alistar and she offered him a small smile, "Morning, you sleep alright?" She walked over to the kitchen area and sat on a stool, her eyes landing on the food. "What's this?"

Alistar Black BOT 06-Dec-21 02:38 PM

"Good morning, flower," Alistar said as he heard Lotus come out of the room behind him as he was sitting on the couch, turning around to make eye contact, "I did sleep alright, did you make it back okay and what time?" Alistar smiled as he stood up and began walking towards the kitchen area, opening the lid on the covered dishes, steam poured out. In the big breakfast, it has bacon, eggs, sausage, toast, and a bagel all served on top of hash browns. He motioned to Lotus to come over where he pulled two stools out from under the island and placed them in front of the two plates. "I figured you would enjoy a proper meal for once."

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 03:19 PM

There he was with that nickname again, hearing it made her feel butterflies in the pit of her stomach. Lillian chuckled at the meal before her, moving her thoughts away from Alistar, or more specifically her dream. "Very much so, but doesn't seemed to be very...balanced? Bunch of carbs here and protein. Lots of protein." She picked up a fork "Do we have orange juice?" She wouldn't be able to eat much, but she would eat what she could and it did smell really good. She went for the bacon first, one of the foods she had missed most after. She took a decent bite and literally moaned at the taste, her eyes closing and rolling the the back of her head. Yeah, she really missed good food. She opened her eyes and remembered she wasn't the only one here and her face turned as red as a cherry tomato. She coughed to cover her embarrassment before nibbling the rest of the bacon quietly.

Alistar Black BOT 06-Dec-21 03:40 PM

Alistar laughed at her little happy head throw and moan at the bacon, "Damn, that good, huh?" He smiled as he jumped up and walked to the fridge and grabbed a container of orange juice, it had maybe two glasses left in it. He looked in the cabinet and found two tall champagne glasses and smiled. Walking over to the island again and placing a glass in front of the two of them, "We gonna be fancy," he said with a little bit of a Southern twang escaping his lips, as he poured the orange juice into the two glasses. He would have been right, two glasses exactly. He walked over to the trash can on the side of the room and placed it in. "Yeah, I didn't really think about it," Alistar admitted, "My body tends to need a lot of protein and calories to function correctly. From what the Doc has said, the fire that I produce is actually constantly burning in my cells, so it makes me lose and produce more energy than normal."

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 04:01 PM

Lillian raised an eyebrow and shook her head. "Fancy indeed." She raised an eyebrow and picked up the glass meant for her. She took a sip as he spoke about his mutation. "That makes sense I suppose, also kind of wild and bizarre, but who am I to say... I can photosynthesize if I need to so..." She chuckled as she set her glass down to continue eating. "You can have half of this, there's no way I can eat this much..." She grabbed a piece of toast and added some butter that was provided in a little cup. She took a bite and chewed quietly as she thought of something to converse about. "Is there anything of import today? Do we get weekends?"

Alistar Black BOT 06-Dec-21 04:17 PM

Alistar thought for a moment, it was Saturday, so nothing of importance for the day, he announced as such, "I don't think so, we do get weekends. I am sure they will kick us out into the outside area for a little while today while they take care of your room. You did get all of that taken care of?" He smiled as he poured the remaining contents of her plate onto his and placed her plate back over to her in case she would need it. He continued to eat as they talked, "They have a bit of a park like area that they let me into whenever requested, I am more of a home body though... The outside world is..." Alistar sighed and put his head down for a moment, letting the words pass for a moment, hoping she would not ask for him to explain. "So, photosynthesize... You really are my little flower partner."

Lillian BOT 06-Dec-21 04:50 PM

Lillian noted the pause in his words and then the instant redirect. If the man didn't want to talk about it, then they wouldn't talk about it. But with what she went through? She couldn't even guess what her might have experienced. "Well then I guess you'll have to be gentle with me, flowers are delicate you know." She offered a playful smile after she finished her toast. She picked up the remainder of her juice and downed it. Instead of sitting it down she picked up her utensils and went to the sink to wash them. It hadn't taken her that long and he still seemed to be enjoying his meal so she sat back on the stool. Lillian laid her arm out on the counterspace and laid her head on it. "So a park huh? What's all in that area?"

Alistar Black BOT 07-Dec-21 07:56 AM

"Your typical parky things," Alistar would giggle out, "Couple of park benches, trees, plants, a little pond that ducks seem to come too, it is nice at times. Seems to be built on top of whatever base this and away from the entrance of the helipad where we came in. It is about a ten to fifteen minute travel time from here across the campus via railcar, so they went all out with it." Alistar quickly finished what was left on the plate before turning back to Lotus, "So, what did you decide on your room?"

Lillian BOT 07-Dec-21 08:55 AM

"I asked to paint a mural on the walls... And for some lights for some plants. Didn't really ask for much else. Lillian didn't raise her head but turned her head just enough to look at him. "It wasn't too terrible yesterday. Everyone seemed...okay. Nice even. I was expecting different." She stared at him from this angle, her eyes focusing on his jawline. "Sorry I missed you last night, you must have been really tired. Saw you cuddling your pillow something fierce." Her eyes twinkled with mischief. "It was very cute."

Alistar Black BOT 07-Dec-21 09:09 AM

Alistar's face grew red with embarrassment, "Uh," he said with a stammer, "You saw that, huh? Uh, well, that happened, I guess. Sorry, I am a big cuddler, I reckon." He stammered through his sentence with embarrassment, feeling his face go flush for a few moments, before getting up and taking the dishes to the sink to avoid eye contact in the moment. "Uh, so painting your room," He said, trying to turn the conversation a different route, "What were you thinking of doing?"

Lillian BOT 07-Dec-21 09:33 AM

Lillian sat up and turned around so she could at least look at the back of him. She had seen his blushing and it was a damn shame he was trying to hide it. "Well, I was thinking a field of flowers, or maybe a forest...but definitely something green." She crossed her legs and gave a little mischievous smirk. She silently slipped off the stool, her bare feet hitting the cold floor as she moved up beside him. "A cuddler you say?" She would reach over where his hands were to grab a paper towel from it's resting place. Her hair lightly brusing against his arms as she did. "With that heat of yours I bet you make the perfect bed companion." She fixed herself up right and turned back to the counter which she began to wipe. There weren't many crumbs, but it was nice to be tidy.

Alistar Black BOT 07-Dec-21 09:42 AM

Alistar had never been called a bed companion before, but his mind immediately went to dirty thoughts. He could feel himself starting to get aroused. In the middle of the night, he did have a dream of her, one that caused him to wake up in a heightened state. He was beginning to feel that way again. He smiled as looked over the dishes in the sink, "Bed companion, eh? Buy me dinner, first?" He joked as he turned back around. "Something green," he commented as well, "I am not much of a painter or artist, but I can color in between the lines if you do need help." He began to walk toward his room, "I am actually gonna grab a shower to get the day started, do you need anything before I go in there?"

Lillian BOT 07-Dec-21 10:34 AM

Lillian smiled at his offer. Her mind drifting to more risqué thoughts, but she was sure that wasn't what he had meant. "Nope, I'm good. I'll finish cleaning this up and probably watch some tv..." It didn't take her long at all to finish and before he even came out of hisbroom with clothes she was propped on the couch with a pillow in her lap, blowing through the available options on Netflix. She chose a documentary about the tropical rainforest. However, when he headed for the bathroom her eyes followed until he was completely out of sight.

Alistar Black BOT 07-Dec-21 02:10 PM

It has been in this room so long alone, that Alistar walked into the bathroom first and forgot to grab clothes to change into. It was so use to just walking naked into his room, that he never had even thought about getting clothes when he went to the shower. However, this was a group setting now and he must continue to show respect to his favorite flower. He really did like that nickname for her and it fit so well. As he gather a pair of boxers, a white tshirt, and black athletic pants, he walked into the shower. Stopping at the mirror to place the clothes on the counter, he stared at himself in the mirror for a moment. It had been a while since he had done this, usually he would just shower and go. He admired himself for a moment, he was much leaner and thinner than he was before, maybe that mutation was keeping his body in shape. One thing it was not doing was keeping him shaved. His five o'clock shadow beginning to grow thicker every day. He smiled and rubbed it softly, he always thought of a beard, but never wanted to maintain it. Maybe he would now. Lost in his train of thought, he began disrobing, taking his grey shirt and black basketball shorts off, he had not worn boxers the night before so he felt freer, but for the respect of Flower, he would keep his junk maintained in a boxer cacoon, he jokingly thought. He let the hot water turn on, no cold. His body could definitely with stand it. As the water began to trickle down his frame, he let his hand massage it into his chest and stomach. Feeling the rush of warmth over his body. He grabbed a wash cloth from the side of the shower and begin to rub it across his body.

Once he made it to his 'little Alistar,' he had been enjoying some risque thoughts. What would have happened last night if Capt. Winslow didn't interrupt them, would she have let him kiss her? Would that have let to more? He was letting his mind race with ideas of what possibly could have been. Being a touched starved and sexually alone as he had previously been, it was not long before his 6 inch cock made a shadow on the wall of the shower from its growth. His mind continued to run, thoughts that he had previously been infatuated with when he was alone. Completely forgetting his surrounding. For a few moments, he allowed himself the moment, reaching down and grasping his cock in his hand. With a soft moan, he stroked his cock through his hand, feeling the showers warmth all around him. It had been sometime since he had cum, and he wanted to now, maybe he should get more comfortable in his room. He smiled as he got out of the shower, someone was certainly happy to be out and about, it was no hiding that. Without a second thought, he grabbed the towel that was sitting on the counter as he stepped out of the shower and began to dry his head. Unfortunately for him, in those moments of bliss in his head, he forgot he was alone. Stepping out of the common room, he tossed the towel behind him after cleaning his shoulders and turned to come eye to eye with Lotus who was staring at him from the couch.

Lillian BOT 07-Dec-21 03:34 PM

While Alistar had been in the shower Lillian had tried to show interest in the program on the television, she always loved learning facts about plants and things. Yet her mind couldn’t help but wander to the man who was currently stark naked in the shower. She leaned her head back against the back of the couch and closed her eyes. She imagined him running his hand all over his body as he scrubbed himself clean. In her mind she saw him paying close attention to his manhood and she groaned inwardly. It was torture, being so close to something you wanted in the heat of the moment but knowing you might regret it once the heat faded. After all, they didn’t know each other that well... But being deprived of touch does something to you, makes things more. More difficult to resist, to agree to reason. Lillian paused the television program and tossed the remote beside her. One hand clutching the pillow while she let the other one slip underneath. She repositioned herself as she let her fingers slide underneath her shorts and into her panties. Her toes curling as she began to slide them in and out of her wet folds. A soft moan escaping her as she imagined Alistar while he showered. His strong hands stroking his cock. She bit her lip and flicked her clit once, tiny shock waves radiating down to her toes as she did.

Lillian knew she should stop, should go to her room where he wouldn’t catch her... But there was something intoxicating at the possibility of being caught. Her finger’s pace quickened; her breathing started to become erratic. She was so into it that she hadn’t realized the water sounds had stopped. She started to reposition herself again so she could spread her legs wider when she opened her eyes. To her shock, Alistar was standing there in the suit he was born with, and Lillian gasped. Her hand coming to a halt. He was magnificent but now, in the moment Lillian couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe. Her cheeks turned a dark shade of crimson. She just sat there; her eyes locked on him as his was hers.

Alistar was like a deer in the headlights as he stared at Lotus, he couldn't move or acknowledge anything in that moment. He had no idea what she was doing, but he could see that her hand was inside of her shorts. His mind quickly raced... What to do? Should he do anything? Should he run? Alistar stammered for a moment before looking at her hand and then up at her and saying, "Uh, I am sorry, I am so use to being here by myself, I completely forgot that I am not alone," he said as he finally looked down and was shocked by the sight of his cock sticking almost straight into the air, "Oh god," Alistar gasped as he tried to grab and contain his entire member in his hand and couldn't get it and his testicles completely covered. "I, uh, I'm gonna go..." Alistar walked straight to the bedroom, showing her his ass as he walked through the door, slamming it behind him and cussing under his breath aggressively, what the hell did he just do.

Lillian BOT 07-Dec-21 04:19 PM

Lillian watched, fascinated and anxious at the same time as he tried to cover himself up and wonderfully failing to do so. While he stammered she wanted to say something, but the only thing that came out was air as she opened her mouth. Her eyes followed his ass as he ran to the privacy of his room, it was a very nice ass and she stared at the door for a solid minute before she removed her hand, mentally slapping herself. Clearly they both needed to cool down but damn, if she was honest with herself she had hoped he would have done something. She got up and ran to her own room, she shut it softer than he had but she leaned against it, her legs shaking and weak. She slid down and rested her head on her knees as she tried to calm herself. How was she supposed to face him now? Sure, he had an excuse for being naked... As he had said he was use to it just being him. But she was clearly masturbating in the shared common area knowing he was there. She groaned loudly and hit her head against the back of the door. "Idiot!" She muttered to herself.

Alistar sighed as he stood against the door, what the fuck did he really just do, he said to himself under his breath. He pushed himself away from the door and to the dresser where he pulled on a pair of basketball shorts, tucking himself into them, even though he was going soft after a few moments of sitting there. He sits down on the edge of the bed to calm himself even more. After a few moments, he allowed himself to stand and stretch himself out. He walks to the door, sighiing and placing his head on the door before silently opening it. He walks over to Lotus' dorm door and sighs before knocking slightly... "Flower?"

Lillian BOT 08-Dec-21 08:27 AM

Lillian was still sitting against her door, her head on her knees, every so often she would lift it just to drop it back in her knees. Hearing Alistar at her door made her halt. She held her breath for a few minutes before she got herself up from the floor. Lillian reluctantly opened the door slowly, her eyes landing on his chest. Her bangs hid her eyes until she looked up at him. "Need something?" She had calmed down now but there was still a flush to her cheeks.

Alistar Black BOT 08-Dec-21 08:44 AM

"Hi," he said as he hung for a few moments, "I, uh, I wanted to apologize again. I am sorry, I completely forgot that I wasn't here alone anymore." He cleared his throat slightly before looking up at here, "It does get kinda lonely in here, especially when you have been by yourself for so long. I just don't want you to think that I meant any disrespect by doing that or was trying to initiate anything... I mean," he stammered again, "Its not like I wouldn't... I would totally with you... But, its like you are beautiful and I would do something like that with you on any day... But not in a... We all have needs and thinking about you in that way made me..." Alistar cleared his throat and stared back down at the ground a moment, "I guess what I am trying to say is, I am sorry that it happened and I didn't respect your privacy by staring in the moment at what you were doing. I know we both have needs and they probably haven't been taken care of in quite some time. So, if you ever need privacy, just let me know and I will find somewhere else to go and something else to do."

Lillian BOT 08-Dec-21 10:41 AM

Lillian stared at him as he stumbled through his apology and couldn't help but slightly smile. She found it endearing the way he fumbled his words. She opened the door the rest of the way when he finished. She cleared her throat and offered her own apology. "I.. don't know why I did...in the room. Okay, no I did." She finally built up the courage to look him in the eyes. "Your attractive and you're right we both...anyways. Thank you for apologizing." Lillian cleared out her throat again. "You shouldn't have to clear out, of anything J should be the one needing to tiptoe. So. I'm sorry for my behavior out there."

Alistar Black BOT 09-Dec-21 02:41 AM

Alistar smiled at her as she apologized, but try to shush her, timidly and cautiously reaching out his hands and gripping her shoulders in a friendly way, "It is one hundred percent my fault," he reassured her and smiled at her, "The behavior you exhibited is normal for someone who thought they were alone. Maybe we should have some kind of call sign or signal for when we are doing that. Sock on the door like when you were in college or something like that..." He pondered for a few moments before letting the thought fade away into nothing. It is what it is, he thought. As he gives her a couple pats on the shoulder, he turns to walk back towards his room and relax for a few moments. He needed stress relief at this point and he could only think of one way to do it.

Lillian BOT 09-Dec-21 06:40 AM

Lillian chuckled softly at the sock on the door remark. "Well, knowing kind of..." She bit her lip. "You're right though. We can figure something out." She squeezed the doorknob as he touched her shoulder, it was a very platonic touch and she caught herself wanting something more than that but was disappointed when he turned and began to walk away. Something came over her while she watched him cross the room and she let go of the door going after him. She caught his arm and slid her hand down to grab his, pulling on him to have him turn around. Lavender eyes looked up at him with desire. "I forgot about something..." Before she had time to second guess herself she stood on the tip of her toes and planted a kiss on his lips. It was awkward with him being so much taller than her but she managed to plant one and that was all that mattered. When she was back flat on her feet she let go of his hand. Her whole face was red again as she nervously spoke. "We were interrupted last night...and I thought we were going to...so...Thanks for breakfast." Lillian spun on her heels and bolted back toward her room.

Alistar Black BOT 09-Dec-21 07:38 AM

Alistar was stunned by the kiss that she had planted on his lips, it left him almost dangling in the air for a moment. As she fell flat, before he could say or do anything else, she was gone behind her door. He thought about opening that door and following after her for several minutes after the conversation, but he could not let his mind do that. It was so confused on her intentions, he needed a moment to clear his mind, among other things. He walked to his room, slowly, before shutting the door, leaning on the door frame yet again. He needed a moment of peace. Without second thought, he took the shirt he was wearing off and dropped it to the floor. He began to walk to his bed, as he walked, he loosened the waist band of the athletic pants he was wearing, letting them fall to the floor. Completely nude, Alistar climbs into the bed and lets his head rest against the pillow as he slightly covers himself with the blanket, feeling the softness of the blanket surround him, his right hand begins to wonder down under the cover of the blanket. His cock, still slightly hard, but not as hard as when he exited the shower, throbbed in his hand slightly as he grasped it. Lightly pulling and stroking his cock, he could feel himself twitching and throbbing under his own pleasurable hand. No one knows you better than you know yourself. He smiled as he arched slightly, allowing himself to gain more control. Slowly, he began to stroke his cock, from the base to the cut tip of his head, letting his hand continue to please him. He moaned softly as his head brushed against the softness of the blanket as it covered him. Peeling away the blanket and looking down, he watched his cock getting hard, longer, and girthier by the second.

Lillian BOT 09-Dec-21 09:10 AM

Lillian leaned against the door for a moment, thinking back she felt like the kiss she gave him was like she was back in grade school and she shook her head. Clearly it had been a long time and she needed to get a grip. Unaware of what Alistar was doing in his room, Lillian decided she needed to cool off instead of finding her own release. She gathered a pair of the scrub bottoms, a plain white t-shirt and underwear and headed for the shower. When she didn't see him in the commons she released a sigh of relief. Once in the shower she turned it on the coldest setting she thought she would be able to handle and proceeded to strip. She tossed her clothes into the corner and stared at herself through the mirror. Was she attractive? Her hair was an unnatural green for that of a human and she supposed that it wasn't too strange with people dying their hair all sorts of vibrant and strange shades. But it was her eyes, the color of lavender that made her feel like something unnatural. She ran a hand over her body, at least her figure was nice. She glanced at herself one more time before standing under the chilled water.

A: Alistar slowly, but surely, quickens his pace as he throws back his head and lets little moans escape his throat. He is usually not this use to being this quiet, but he is taken extra precautions to avoid any extra screwups on his behalf because of his intense need for sexual touch. He smiles to himself as he continues to pull from base to his cock head, stopping every couple of minutes to tease his cock head with the tip of his thumb. He moans loudly, but not loud enough to escape the room, he hopes. The continued stroking is getting to a fevered pitch as he has quickened his pace. He is getting close to cumming. He smiles for a moment to himself, thinking about Lotus, his flower, his... he thought for a moment, his, he liked the sound of that. She would be his one day and he could do whatever he wanted to his little flower, he could make her feel this same sexual passion he is feeling now. With each stroke, the thought of Lotus pleasuring herself continued to creep in his mind, each finger slipping in and out of her pussy. Teasing her clit until she would... AH! Alistar let out a moan, uncaring of how loud it was as he released in climax. One rope of cum followed one after another, shooting cum all over his stomach. He tensed, throbbed, and moaned with every ejaculation. After several moments, the climax began to move away from him and he relaxed slightly, smiling to himself. He hadn't cum like that in a very long time. (edited)

Lillian BOT 09-Dec-21 05:05 PM

Lillian stood in the shower for a long time, to the point she had started to shiver. If she was cold she wouldn't think of certain matters of tall dark and handsome, or so she thought. She got out and dressed in decent time, and while on the way back into the commons she walked past Alistars door to hear him cumming. She stopped dead in her tracks and looked at the door, then the door know. Clearly it is missing a sock She licked her lips before biting the bottom one. Before she got herself into more trouble she spun on her heels and went into the kitchen. She browsed through the pantry to see if there were any good snacks but didn't find anything in particular to pique her interest. Her eyes glanced at the intercom and she figured it was worth a shot. She pushed the button and waited until someone spoke. "Could I get some cubed cheese, baby carrots and ranch please? Maybe just take it one of those snack trays with the crackers and such too...thanks" She awkwardly waited but all she got back was a grunt. She figured that was a yes and then headed for the couch. She plopped down and turned on Netflix. To be safe she stayed away from anything romance or things that might have not safe for work things in them. She finally settled on a documentary on serial killer. Just as Lillian got comfortable the tray was delivered and she went to grab it before she made a little nest on the couch. She wasn't sure when Alistar was going to come out...and after hearing him moan she figured it was best to leave him be for awhile.

Alistar Black BOT 10-Dec-21 04:00 AM

Alistar stayed silent moments after cumming, just letting himself relax into the moment before reaching over to his night stand, pulling the drawer open, and pulling out several Kleenex's from the drawer. Cleaning himself off, he flinched momentarily when the Kleenex contacted his cock. He had never been this sensitive before after cumming? Why now? He finished the cleaning, shaking the thought from his mind as his feet swung around the side of the bed and into a sitting position on the edge of the bed. Listening intently for a moment, he could hear the television being turned on in the common room and a moment of embarrassment circled his body again. Did she hear him? Why did he have to continue to mess things up? Again, shaking another layer of intrusive thoughts, he stood out of bed, grabbing his clothes from the floor and putting them back on. He was going to face this head on and... act like nothing even happened. It was probably for the best. They didn't know each other, they were just forced to live in this area together. The kiss was platonic... or was it? Ugh, enough, his mind thought as he walked out of the room and seeing Lotus on the couch, "Whatcha watching, flower?"

Lillian BOT 10-Dec-21 08:52 AM

Lillian looked up, mid bite out of a cracker, she finished chewing it and wiped the crumbs off her mouth, "Hi, just watching a thrilling docuseries on a serial killer." She looked from Alistar to the television. "Want to join?" She moved over to make some room for him, trying her best to move her blanket as well, in case he didn't want to sit in it. "Also, I have snackage." She held up the tray and smiled, "I used the intercom...friendly chap who works that." She picked up a cube of cheese and popped it into her mouth, her eyes going back to the television just as they started to show pictures from a crime scene.

Alistar Black BOT 10-Dec-21 10:55 AM

Alistar smiles at her as he nods in agreeance and begins walking over to the couch, with her acknowledgement that she got snacks, he smiles, "Finally met Lewis, didn't ya?" He looked over at the intercom as if there was a person standing there. "He is a good guy, never met him, but he always responds with that grunt of acknowledge. It use to sound like yep, but now it just sounds like a mhmm." He joins Lotus on the couch as he looks up to the screen watching over it, "Which serial killer?"

Lillian BOT 10-Dec-21 12:51 PM

Lillian laughed, "Lewis, huh. That's exactly what it sounded like." When Alistar sat down Lillian offered him a baby carrot. "I know you love meat, but what about veggies?" Currently the lead investigator was discussing how they cracked the case. Lillian glanced at Alistar, "It's the one who cut off the faces of his victims to make masks, what was his name..." She scrunched her face, "Clint Parker? I remember hearing about it when I was in high school." She shook her head. "To think there's a possibility that there are people like that out there, and that now some could have mutant abilities..." She shivered.
