" So Ezekiel... pretty unique name you got there." Illyana said starting up a conversation as we walked down the hallway towards where I already senses was the exit.
" Mom was an eccentric so I got stuck with it I guess." I told her walking besides her with my arms in my hoodie.
" *Snicker* Sure you did." Making our way infront of the front door and walking out we were now outside right infront of a fountain.
" So any reason you immediately brought me out of here?" I asked while looking around and looking up I felt an energy field around the entire school trapping anyone inside, Reyes's doing I knew.
" I wanted to see what our first male patient would do if given the choice." She said making me raise an eyebrow but from what I knew of the movie I had an inkling of what she meant.
" What choice?" I asked walking towards her as she started walking further from the hospital.
" Dr Reyes said that the closest city is 20 miles away and with no fence or wall, there's nothing between you and freedom and since I assume you can fly it'll be easy for you to run and leave this lie of a facility behind." She said almost daringly looking amused at me.
" Is that so?" I asked with a smirk of my own.
" Well you can see for yourself, just run." She said probably thinking I've bought into her bullshit.
" I'm not stupid illyana." I told her as I raised my hand which started glowing and coarsing with energy.
This made Illyana freeze and take a couple steps back.
" Relax, I wouldn't hurt a pretty girl like you." Yet anyways.
Raising my hand I let out a blast of energy free and watched it soar at great speeds up into the air and before long it hit the forcefield dome around the facility and not doing much as the kinetic energy dispersed around the dome to the ground.
" I know very well that I'm stuck in a prison..." I told her looking at her cockily which garnered a wide grin from her, god what I wouldn't do to hit that.
[— +5 Affection with Illyana for calling her pretty.]
[— +10 Affection with Illyana for being smarter than you look.]
And she shoots right into second place on the people who most like me, ahead was Rhane who was currently watching us through the window not far away.
" Well well new boy, you keep on surprising...." She said looking at me over again.
" Is that all you can do?, fly and shoot out energy with your hands?" She asked walking closer towards me with her hands behind her back as she circled around me like a predator.
" I can also do this." I said before raising my hand and breathing out a stream of cold breath encasing my hand in ice but not freezing it and then took a breath again and breathed out a wave of flames like a dragon.
I always wanted to breath out fire, as stupid as that may be.
[— +10 Affection with Illyana for breathing out fire like her pet puppet dragon Lockheed.]
" Hahahah...you are a bundle of surprises wrapped in one huh?" She said after laughing in what I assumed was amusement and happiness.
" You haven't seen nothing yet, that I promise." I said vague with it because if you wanted to catch a girls attention then you needed to have a mystery surrounding you that she would want to unravel, girls were like that.
" Oh...?" She exclaimed with a grin as she walked up to pressed her chest onto mine while looking up to my eyes.
[— +5 Affection with Illyana for having pretty eyes.]
At this point it seemed that I was farming affection as I stared back at her so close that a single movement and we would be kissing.
" Why don't you show me then?" She said and at this point I was just about to kiss her and try my luck seeing how she had already gotten to +45 Affection already but we were suddenly interrupted.
" Hey!" A voice shouted and turning our heads we saw Roberta looking at us smugly.
" Food is ready." She said which made Illyana frown before she looked back at me after taking a step back.
" Well then, I'll be seeing you around Ezekiel." She said before taking another step back and disappearing with a bit of distortion around the place she teleported.
" Did I catch you at a bad time maybe?" Roberta asked looking at me with a tilt of her head with a pretty little smile on her.
" Not at all." I replied with a sigh that she definitely noticed causing her to snicker.
" Come on, I'll show you around since I'm sure Illyana definitely didn't." She said and nodding at her I walked up to her before she took me on a tour around the facility and all the places outside first.
And so I spent a good hour following Roberta around and in that time I gained +20 affection from her getting her to a total of 30 before she walked me into the cafeteria.
_______________________________________________________
Entering besides Roberta who laughed at a joke I had told her we were stopped just as we were going to grab grub by Illyana.
" Well you sure took your time.... Roberta." Illyana said appearing right infront of us with a pointed glare towards Roberta.
" Well if you had taken the time to show him around then I wouldn't have had to, besides Ezekiel is good company." Roberta said returning her glare back to her laced with a mischievous smile.
" Oh really?, are you sure you aren't doing all of this just to get in his pants ?" Illyana asked making Roberta frown before she continued." You carry yourself like a slut anyway so I wouldn't be surprised really."
I immediately saw this going downhill fast and I was right as Illyana summoned her soul sword while golden armor covered her hand holding the sword when Roberta's hair started floating looking as if on fire alongside her visible body glowing orange.
Sighing at this display I walked between the girls to dissuade their next actions.
" Now now girls, I don't think that's such a good idea...we wouldn't want the head lady putting us in solitary confinement now would we?" I said freely now having a good alibi for how I would know some things in the facility as I had asked Roberta for a lot of information she knew as she was giving me the tour.
" No...no we wouldn't." Roberta said cooling down, literally as her hair returned back to golden and her skin stop glowing an smoking.
Illyana looked at me then at Roberta and did the same de-summoning her sword and armor.
" I wouldn't want to paint myself in a bad light towards Ezekiel here anyways." She said haughtily crossing her arms together.
" Yeah sure, whatever." Roberta said with a roll of her eyes before she said next. " Excuse me Connor I have to reheat our food." She said and then walked off towards the kitchen.
" Bitch." I heard Illyana say beneath her voice probably thinking I couldn't hear.
' This will be tiring...' I thought with a sigh before inviting Illyana to eat with me seeing as she was the one with the highest affection score towards me for now, I would have to get to know Rhane and Sammy tommorow when I could though.
