'It's strange. This place feels so different now and I was out here less than an hour ago. Am I dreaming this? Am I going to wake up?' Gabe glanced behind him nervously, squinting against the sun. 'No-one following us. Well, of course there isn't. What was I expecting, a troop of men in body armour shouting "Halt, mutant!"? Hang on..who's that kid? Well, it probably doesn't matter. ' Gabe walked a little faster, following Eleyna to her car. Turning, she asked him;"So..any ideas as to where you want to go yet?"Gabe thought for a moment, but before he could reply, Kyle walked up to the two of them. A look of discomfort appeared on Gabe's face, and at the remarks about the gen-scan, he visibly flinched. Eleyna shot a look of compassion at him as Kyle's well-meant joking struck him painfully. His eyes told the story; no other people, not here. Eleyna turned back to Kyle."Listen, Kyle. Sorry about this, but Gabe's got some personal stuff he needs some help with. But we might see you later or something."Up close, Gabe does look pale, and has obviously been crying recently.Eleyna looked serious as she talked, but ended with a friendly smile. She turned away, took Gabe by the arm and guided him towards her car.Gabe whispered as they walked away"Thanks, Eleyna. Listen, about where..uh..maybe..the memorial park? It's not near the school..and at this time of day it'll probably be mostly empty..and it's..nice there. With the lake, and..."Gabe broke off, looking anxiously at Eleyna to see what she thought of his suggestion. However, before she could answer, Gabe spoke again, a frown appearing on his face."Eleyna.."Yet, glancing behind them, obviously remembering Kyle's presence, Gabe trailed off."Uh...nothing."Gabe said nothing else for the brief walk to Eleyna's car, but after they had got in, his frown re-appeared. With a deep sigh, he looked at the girl and spoke."Eleyna..helping me..is..is it really alright for you to be doing that? I mean...I..I can do stuff. Maybe..maybe dangerous stuff. And I don't know how to control it. You..you might get hurt."Gabe's voice cracked on the last word, and he looked away. Still not looking at Eleyna, he continued."I..doesn't..doesn't that scare you? Make you afraid? Of..of me? Of what I might do? I mean..god, Eleyna. It..it terrifies me. I..I don't want to hurt anybody...I don't want to hurt you. Not..not when you're being so..so..."Gabe trailed off, obviously unable to find the words. 'So understanding. So helpful. So...so *you*.' He slumped in the passenger seat, his words having taken a lot out of him, fighting back the tears which threatened to resurface.</blockquote>
