Alyssa was very pleased that Troy was both fascinated with her power, and successfully doing it. Though she hadn't been expecting his next question.
"This may sound like a weird question, but what else can you fix? I mean, could you heal broken bones if you wanted to?
Honestly she hadn't even considered the possibility of actually healing someone with her powers.... but with that idea came a hoarde of things she'd never thought of.... Her eyes widened and she looked at Troy for a moment, silent.
"I never thought about it.... or tried it.... but I think I could be able to." Her smile turned into a slight grin. "I want to test the limits of this.... i've never bothered before... but.... wow..." She picked up her bear, not really paying attention to her actions, and did her usual routine and made it disappear... now having no further use for it.

"You don't know until you try."
At that note, Troy leaned over, searching for something sharp. Finally, he found a thin, silver-colored rock with jagged edges. He picked it up with a slight smile, then turned back over toward Alyssa. He held out his wrist and grabbed the rock, slowly slitting it with the sharp edges of the rock. After it was cut, he concentrated on holding back his regeneration powers that he picked up from Lauren Winters.
"Try it...Quickly. You don't have to worry about me."
To prove that a mere cut on the wrist was no trouble, Troy allowed his healing factor to come back for just a minute in order to show Alyssa that no harm would be done. The wound closed before their eyes. The teen then cut himself again, staring into Alyssa's eyes. It stung, but he knew that it would be healed quickly.

"Aah..." She said, wincing slightly as he cut himself... but when it healed she was relieved. He must have gotten that from another destined.
"Alright then."
Scooting close to him, she placed her hands over the wound and closed her eyes, picturing and feeling the wound, then picturing it healed.... no mark on his skin whatsoever. Using her powers for new things always seemed to work better if she put her hands on them directly... then slowly but surely she'd be able to do it with her hands slightly above... and possibly without the direct use of her hands at all. But that point she hadn't reached yet.
"Can you tell, or are you ready to find out?"

"I don't feel anything..."
Anxious to pull Alyssa's hand away from the wound to find out what happened, a sigh left Troy's lips. Yes, he didn't feel any more pain, but he could have accidentally regenerated. He couldn't feel his ability working, however, and the chances were that if the wound had healed, it was Alyssa's doing.
I wish I had x-ray vision, Troy thought. Of course, he knew that none of the Destined had powers like that...Their powers were mostly related to the elements, defied the laws of physics, or were just enhancements of their normal skills. He looked up at Alyssa, an anxious look in his chestnut brown eyes.
"Let's find out."
[[OOC: Blech, short, sorry]]

Alyssa gave a short nod and paused for a moment before quickly pulling her hands off his arm. Her eyes widened and a soft gasp escaped her lips. His arm looked the same as it did before the cut. She looked up at him, grinning broadly, her eyes glittering with excitement. "It worked!"She shifted her weight and threw her arms around him in a hug. After all, she would never have even tried such a thing.... or have been willing to cut herself to test it, even if she did somehow think of it. She let go of him and moved to sit back down, blushing slightly. "oh...um....sorry. I guess I got a little too excited."((lol, its not short  )) |

Troy's eyes were glued to his arm. He closed his eyes as Alyssa quickly pulled her hand away from where the wound was. As Troy slowly opened his eyes, he looked down at his arm. It was completely healed, without a mark. He looked back up at Alyssa, her eyes glittering with excitement. A smile spread across the boy's lips as he chuckled lightly.
"It worked!" There was still a bright smile on Troy's face that wouldn't go away. Soon, he looked over and saw Alyssa grasping him in her arms. The smile remained on his face as he hugged her back...That was, until she backed away, like it was awkward. This caused Troy to blush a bit. "oh...um....sorry. I guess I got a little too excited." Troy simply shook his head.
"Oh, no, it's fine..."
Trying to steer away from the awkwardness in his mind, Troy started to think of all of what he and Alyssa could do with this new-found 'healing' power. The possibilities were almost endless, though he was unsure of how to heal things that were broken, but not visible. He looked up at Alyssa, a smirk on his face.
"So, you've discovered this power...What are you gonna do with it?"

She lightly scratched her head, finding herself feeling very....close to Troy even though the two of them had only just met. Maybe it was the fact she was able to relate better to him than she had with the other Destined she'd met before.
"I figure it will help in actual battles.... but otherwise.... i'm not sure. I'd like to test it out some more. Hopefully with you, since you can do it as well."
She added with a smile.
((buwah... such a lack of muse tonight))

[[It's not bad at all!]]
"I figure it will help in actual battles...." This question seemed somewhat foreign to Troy. He didn't realize that they would be fighting any actual battles...Not for a long time, at least, when and if their existance was discovered by scientists. If they were discovered and the origin of their powers were exposed, there would be no limit to the danger that they could bring to the world, particularly amongst religious groups. The thought made Troy tug at his collar a bit in anxiety, though he didn't want to think about it. He turned toward Alyssa, an eyebrow raised.
"Battles?"
.... but otherwise.... i'm not sure. I'd like to test it out some more. Hopefully with you, since you can do it as well." Troy didn't mind being Alyssa's guinea pig, so to speak. He was the best person to test her powers on, after all, since if it didn't work, he could always heal the wound instantly. Once again, he sliced his own arm. Some blood dripped down from the cut.
"Wanna try it again, or should I just do it myself?"

"Not for awhile at least. By battles I meant... with the Gods.... once they get all 'pinky and the brain' take over the world. And people are bound to get hurt due to the fact.... that its a battle..."
Her eyes widened as Troy unexpectedly cut himself again. "but..uh.... ohh... She pulled out a piece of cloth from her bag and quickly moved her attention to his arm. She wiped the trailing blood and dabbed lightly at the cut before placing her hand lightly over the wound.
Repeating the same process as before, Alyssa pictured the wound removed, and after a few moments she lifted her hand. She glanced at the glass a moment, and bit her lip lightly before reaching over and taking it from him. She wiped the blood off and looked up at him with a smile.
"Your turn to try." She braced herself for a second then made a cut on her own arm, wincing as she did so. She extended her arm over to him.

So, the gods are in a war against us... It all seemed a little weird to Troy. Why did the gods seem to hate the Destined so much? What did they ever do to them? It was all far too difficult for the teen to wrap his head around. As tempted as he was to ask Alyssa about it, he assumed that she probably didn't know much more than he did.
"Your turn to try." An eyebrow was raised as Alyssa cut herself. At first, Troy tried to stop her, worrying that he wouldn't be able to do it, but it was too late. The boy took a deep breath, then placed a hand over the wound. Closing his eyes tightly, he imagined the wound healed. His eyes still closed, he slowly moved his hand away.
"Did it work?"

She lightly dragged her finger over the spot where she had cut herself and smiled at him, nodding quickly.
"Its a little strange though..... knowing that one moment i was bleeding, the next i'm not.... theres not even a wound there."
She blinked and giggled, cheeks reddening as she seemed to realize who she was talking to. Troy would probably know better than most how weird that would be, due to the healing factor he had.
"Though you would definitely know that feeling, wouldn't you?"
She liked the fact that he had managed to gain her powers, even if they wouldn't be as strong as hers... he was an excellent learner though, and would be able to do so many great things with the powers he'd absorb from others.

"I could only imagine."
The teen spoke with a hint of sarcasm after Alyssa spoke. At first, using his healing factor felt strange...Well, that was an understatement...But he got used to it after using it a few times. Although it wasn't always the most pleasant power to use, it was incredibly useful. In fact, if he didn't have it, he would probably be dead, or at least pretty banged up.
"Though you would definitely know that feeling, wouldn't you?" With a smirk, Troy slowly nodded in response. Alyssa was one of the nicer members of the Destined, that was for sure, but none of them seemed all that bad. Of course, however, they were all different around each other than they were while with their fellow Destined. Troy was no exception...He felt more comfortable when around other people who were going through the same things as he was.
"You get used to it."

Alyssa seemed to suddenly notice that the basement was the slightest bit chilly.... in fact it was close to being cold there. She thought to herself for a moment, her lips pursing slightly.... then an idea came to her.
She extended her arms to make room for what she was conjuring... and a moment later a decent sized blanket appeared in her arms. She began unfolding it and stretching it out before putting it behind her back, pulling the left side over her left side, but holding the other one open for the moment.
"Cold? She asked, a slight smile playing on her lips. She was actually a bit proud of herself for taking initiative like she was.... she wasn't normally so bold.

As the teenage girl conjured a blanket, a snicker left Troy's lips. It just appeared out of absolutely nowhere...It just didn't seem real. He couldn't help but wonder what exactly she...Err, they...Were doing when they were conjuring. Were they creating molecules or cells, or was it purely magic or some sort of trick? Either way, Troy was absolutely amazed by it, even moreso than he was by some of the other powers.
"Yeah, actually. Thanks."
With a smile, the young man took part of the blanket and placed it over his torso. He stared into space for a second, then turned back toward Alyssa. She seemed intelligent, and more informed about the powers of the Destined than he was. His curiosity continued to spark, and he hoped that she knew the answer to his questions.
"Do you know how any of these powers work, or is it just like, well, magic?"

(*tackle hugs* YAYYYY you're back ^___^)
His question made her lapse into silence and think long and hard about the powers. She'd met so many of them.... and it was just so strange how it suddenly happened.... but it had happened to different people at different times, she's heard. Most of it was that night a few weeks ago...
"I think maybe that the powers.... were latent in us.... you know? That teacher guy, Skryar... he said that it was our destiny to fight the Gods... so maybe... they only matured when they were needed."
She remembered meeting Lyf, who she later found out was Aphrodite, and she had met Alec and a couple other Gods.... ones that she'd seen and spoken to only occasionally.....
"The people... who are the Gods incarnate... I don't think they had their powers the entire time. I've known a couple of them... and they didn't start acting oddly until a few weeks ago... the night my powers activated."
She leaned against the wall, pausing a moment to think. "I'm not quite sure how they work.... but its got to be something to do with maybe a little bit of magic, maybe a bit of ourselves. Something has to change in our body to allow us to handle what we do."
Glancing over at him, her only thought that led it to magic was him....because he could 'learn' other peoples powers. "Like Pandora's fire or that other guys electricity. A normal body couldn't handle being on fire or the kind of current that runs through him."
