Providence walked slowly along the streets, lost deep in thought. The dreams and visions seemed to be happening more frequently, and also so much clearer.
The most prominent of them, always featured the same people, many of which, or most of whom, she knew from school. She almost wanted to ask them about it, but didn't feel like telling everyone that she was seeing things, and that she fantasizes about them, because she knew that's exactly how most people would take it. Especially the kids in school.
She sighed and jerked herself from her thoughts, her gaze jerking around as she tried to pinpoint exactly where she was. After several tense moments, she spotted the subway entrance and breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurried down the stairs, carefully avoiding everyone, and slipped through the first open door. Smiling at a few people, she slid quickly into the first available seat. It didn't matter where she went,s he knew the way home,and didn't feel the need to be there right now. Too much pressure. It was better just to ride around and try to figure out her life.

Alyssa filed into the train shortly after Providence, pushing past the shuffling people to try and find a seat of her own.... which she spotted next to the aforementioned girl. Granted she had never been introduced to the girl, but she felt slightly more comfortable sitting next to her than a complete stranger.
She walked over and slipped into the seat, setting her sketchbook on her lap. She had been out toying with her new powers.... trying to sketch down how the world looks when she goes to a different plane. Though all her sketches seemed to look like was a bunch of wavy lines in the shape of things.
With a sigh, she decided to speak, hoping the girl could hear her through the ruckus of the subway. "Its been quite a week, huh? It seems like things have gone a little bit mad at school."

Providence jerked slightly as she heard the other girl speak. She had been so absorbed in her thoughts, and trying to anlyze the crazy visions, that she hadn't even noticed her sit down.
Trying to cover her reaction, she smiled and turned to her. Her deep blue eyes widened alarmingly as she realized she knew the girl. Had seen her more than just at school. But she quickly covered it, by nodding.
"Yeah, everything's been a bit strange," she replied, thinking that it was only getting worse. "I'm Providence, Hunter, I've seen you around school right?"
She smiled inwardly when her voice didn't come out choked, nad that she could make normal conversation. She hoped she didn't sound forced or strange to the girl, but she knew she did sound a bit fake, or maybe just different.

The doors of the subway almost caught Trixie as she ran into the train. She was pretty sure that if she hadn't been using a bit of her super speed she would have never made it inside. Once inside she looked around for a seat and of course there wasn't one. People in New York were just ever so nice...didn't they know that ladies seat and men..well...do other things..
Finally she spotted a weak link in the sitting arangements. There were two girls who she thought went to her school sitting next to a very attractive looking guy. Trixie then wasted no time, she approached the guy with a smile on her face. "Hi there..do you mind if I steal your seat? I really wanna sit next to my friends here.." she said while batting her eye lashes and using all of her girlish charms on the guy. The guy looked at the girls then got up. "Yay thanks!" she said with a smile as she sat down.
She then turned on her side and faced Alyssa and Providence. "Hi..Im Trixie." she said with a smile on her face. She really had no idea who these girls were but thanks to them she now had a seat.

A little shocked at the girl jumping from her talking, Alyssa found herself even more curious about the girl when her eyes widened from looking over. Maybe recognition from passing through school or something.... but she hadn't met the girl before so it couldn't be that.
Alyssa opened her mouth the introduce herself..... then she found someone else doing it at the same time. She looked at Trixie and smiled, trying hard not to start laughing.... after all the girl did just slyly con a guy out of his seat. And she did it more convincingly than most people could, which made it even more amusing.
"I'm Alyssa Blake." She said. "And yeah.... I think I've seen you both around school, actually."

Providence was a bit surprised at how the girl aquired her seat, and more than a bit surprised at yet another slightly familiar face. She remembered seeing these girls from around school, she never forgot a face, even if it was just in passing. She had begun to think of it as a curse, because she couldn't forget her visions either. She choose to ignore it, sure the other girl, Alyssa, had already noticed, and began to speculate.
So, to shrug it all of it, she simply nodded.
"I thought so, I think I have seen you both around, as well," she replied, hoping Trixie had caught her name. "Although, I don't think we have ever had any classes or the like."
She smiled, thinking that her knack for small talk seemed to be slipping.

Trixie smiled as the girls seemed to not know each other either. "Yeah I know..i think I've seen you guys around school.." she said not really sure. "Oh and sorry about the way I got my seat.. I just didn't want to stand all the way home..plus I knew that guy would fall for the batting of the eye lashes." she whispered with a smile on her face.
"So Alyssa and Providence..I like your names...mine sounds..like a barbie doll or something..yours sound like royal people." she said with a smile on her face. She had always disliked her name and meeting people with cool names seemed to bug her sometimes.

"Your name reminds me of fantasy art. I like it." Alyssa said with a slight smile, her thoughts drifting slightly to fairies and pixies. She found it amusing that Trixie preferred their names to her own.... but she didn't feel the need to question it. After all, she had just met the two girls. "And I thought it was very.... inventive of you to get your seat like that. He didn't even question it."
"It is a big school.... I've met quite a few people I didn't know this week.... it makes me feel kind of like I'm new." she added with a laugh.
(blahh.. short. gomen)

Providence studied the guy that had given up his seat for several moments, befroe shrugging, figuring it wasn't her palce to care anyqway. he gave it up willingly. She chuckled softly as she heard Trixie comment on her name. She gotten used to it, but always thought of it as sounding old and prudish.
"Yeah, royal," she said lightly. "Like sixteenth century."
She grinned, and nodded at Alyssa's next comment.
"Same here," she started. "I mean, I regonize most people from the school, but lately I have realized how many of them I actaully haven't met."
--[ Meh - Me too]--

Trixie smiled as Providence and Alyssa commented about her name. "Yea..I guess it sounds like a pixie or something." she said with a smirk on her face then she heard what the girls said. "Oh well Im actually new to the school. I transfered in about a week and a half ago. Just moved to the big apple from LA." she said to them.
"So what is there to do for fun here in the big NYC?" she asked with a smile on her face. Well Trixie could always go partying or even have some funin central park with her powers but she wanted to know what these girls did for fun...somehow they seemed...cool..and it made her want to get to know them more.

Alyssa was pleasantly surprised to find out Trixie was new, it made her feel a little less like she was. "Really? LA? That's quite a move.... though i'll bet you'll like it here. Its crowded, but entertaining none the less."
Trixie's next question fed nicely into her answer, so she continued. "There's a good club here, mall, the park is nice if you're into that sort of thing..." She said, a thoughtful tone to her voice as she tried to deduce places that most of the school hung out at. "I spend a lot of time at the park usually... and I entertain myself with magic tricks if i get bored with my art..."
Though generally her magic tricks were a cover up for her power, which is what the real entertainment came from.

Providence was about to reply, when Alyssa beat her to it. As she listened to the other girl's answer, she was glad. She never did much of any of that, too busy with her furute, but it all sounded like fun. She cocked her head slightly, as Alyssa mentioned magic tricks.
A vision flashed through her mind...
It started as they all did, colors and shapes blurring together, as if behind a mist. Suddenly it started to clear, and certain shapes, normally people were distingushable. This time, it was only Alyssa, amist the blur of the background, brought shaprly into focus, as she preformed magic tricks, but somewhere in Providence's mind, she knew it was no trick, the girl was actually causing hte objects to be, and then to disappear, and reappear at will. Suddenly, a rough voice broke the silence, but she couldn't make out the words. As she tried to strain to hear them, the vision faded.
Providence blinked, hoping that she had only been staring into space, distracted. She looked closer at Alyssa, her gaze searching, as she tried to understand what she had just seen.
"What kind of tricks?' she asked suddenly, her voice low and soft.

Trixie smile when she heard that Alyssa could do magic tricks. "That is so cool.. I can't do any magic tricks..." she said hoping nobody would notice the nerve Alyssa had struck. She really didn't like talking about her freaky powers plus the fact that she could out run a speeding bullet and shoot out stuff from her eyes...just seemed dangerous. Her powers had saved her life once but eversince that day she had only used them a couple of times. Trixie then noticed that Providence seemed to zone out for a second or two. Hmm wonder what shes thinkin.. Trixie thought then she heard the girl ask Alyssa about her magic tricks.
"Yeah tell us about them. Can you do any now?" she asked with a hopeful look.

"You know.... basic card tricks, some disappearing objects in hats or sleeves..." She said, with a slightly nervous tone to her voice at the sudden interest in her magic tricks. Most people could care less about them.... and kids were too childish and young to be able to even think that they were real.
"I could do a couple, if you wanted. Do either of you have any preferences? Card trick, I can pretty much many anything portable disappear... just as long as it can fit under my handkerchief." She said with a small laugh.
She passed her gaze over the rest of the train to see if anyone else had been paying attention to her small boasting. She was fine with small crowds.... but large ones got risky.

Providence grinned, inwardly, as she listened to Trixie second the request for information. As soon as Alyssa finishing explaining, she grinned, her eyes alight with a knowing look. She knew that what she had seen in her vision at that point was completely true. It didn't matter to her that the girl would rather hide her special talent, Providence hid her own as well. She nodded enthusiactically, hoping she would show them, she wanted a demonstration, and needed to see it with her own eyes, to reassure herself she hadn't gone completely insane.
"I don't have a preference now," she said. "I just think it would be neat to watch. I do have another question though, how did you learn?"
