"What else do you know about me?" Xander asked, holding a very defensive stance.
Her smile caught him a little off-guard, and while he was pretty sure it was genuine, he still felt strange.

"Um… Your 17. I am too. You really like painting. I've seen your work it's really good and you have powers I don't know what they are though." Ellie said looking at him as if she was scanning him.

Xander scratched the back of his head.
"And I suppose you've got powers as well? Unless you've been spying on me. But I'm quite paranoid, so I don't think that's possible. I would've noticed."

"I'm no stalker. I might have powers but I have always been told I was a failure cause I don't have powers. So, I just believe them." Ellie told him kind of offended he would think she stalked him. She was kind of an open book and she trusted people who she felt like could be trusted.

“That’s kind of a stupid reason to call someone a failure,” he said, “But also… I’m convinced you do have some sort of power. Something to do with prediction perhaps? There’s no way you’d just know that stuff about me.”

"I've gotten used to name people teasing me for being powerless and other petty things," Ellie said looking at her twitchy arm. "I know lots of things about everybody I meet or run into as well. So I bet your right. I thought I just knew these things about people. But I think I might have a prediction power or something." Ellie smiled genuinely at Xander.

"You seem… nice," Xander replied simply, "I don't know, you just give off good vibes, for lack of a better description."
He cast Ellie a slight smile, doing the best he could to be amiable, despite still being slightly shaken up about her knowing so much about him.

"Um…T-Thanks nobody says nice things like that to me. S-So T-Thanks." Ellie says blushing really hard. She seemed to scan over him again. "Oh, God I'm sorry," She said with a gasp.

"You mustn't have met many pleasant people then, have you?" Xander murmured, "What are you even sorry for?"
He saw her blush, then suddenly felt like he'd done something wrong, and he wasn't blushing too, but he kind of hid his face behind his dark green scarf.

"Ya, I guess I haven't met good people," Ellie says with a small giggle. "I read you again I'm sorry for doing it but I-I'm sorry," Ellie said looking him dead in the eyes

"It's fine. You don't have any ill intent towards me. It doesn't bother me as much as you think now."
Xander pulled his scarf down.
"Well, if you do have powers like we believe, it may be good to try training them. You never know when it could come in handy. Besides, it builds confidence and prevents you from using any of that stuff on accident."

"I thought I had a rough past," Ellie gasped covering her mouth feeling bad about what she said. "Um..how do I train my powers," Ellie asks him trying to cover up what she said.

Xander caught her words anyway.
"Yeah, I probably should've warned you that I'm a criminal. Not a violent one, but… still…"
He tapped his foot.
"Do you want to practice digging through my mind? You've already dug up some pretty personal stuff it seems. Um… it can't hurt to go further, especially if it means it'll help you. I don't know much about training mind powers, though."

"You would let me do that," Ellie asked shocked.

"If you're comfortable, maybe. But I reserve the right to ask you to stop if you strike a sore spot in my memories," Xander agreed, "I don't know. I've got nothing better to do with my life. Might as well help someone else out."

"Ok, could I if you think it's ok, I would stop if you tell me to, ok," Ellie says starting to hold her arm again.

"Yeah," Xander murmured, "Let's uh… let's sit down somewhere, in case stuff gets intense. It's fun magic stuff, and one of us could end up passing out if we're not careful. I can control shadows, and with that at least, I know things can get really nasty. Fainting spells… oh, and one time I messed up and was blind for almost three days."

"Ok, I'm ready to let us begin," Ellie said walking to a close tree and sat down. "What's the worst thing that has ever happen to you from overusing your powers," She asked him sitting against the tree.

"Hm… I've blacked out for really long periods of time, and then there was the blindness. How bad it is really varies between magic types. But you can usually feel yourself start to fade before anything bad happens, so don't worry about that. Just take a break if things start to feel bad," Xander explained, "Those things only happened in really dire situations where I had to push myself past threshold in order to survive."

"Ok, tell me when you're ready," Ellie said re-adjusting her position.

Xander sat down cross-legged next to Ellie.
"Ready as I think I'll ever be," he said.

"Ok, let's do this," Ellie said starting to scan Xander's memories.

"You are a SUPER good artist way better than me." Ellie said looking at Xander.

The first memory was a very recent one. A young man, around the age of 20 appeared first, wearing a gray coat and a crimson undershirt. He was crouched on the ground and stood up to his full height, about 5'4. He turned to Xander. His glasses were broken on the left side, and tears streaked his face. He had been crouched in front of someone- someone who now lay motionless. Xander started running towards him to see who it was. It was none other than Xander's friend and this man's younger sister.
Xander twitched a bit in discomfort. It still hurt some, but he wasn't uncomfortable enough to stop. Two tears rolled down Xander's cheek.
"You… did you see that?"
He couldn't hear the compliment at first, so shocked by the vivid flashback.

Ellie looked at Xander. "hey what was that and are you ok." Ellie said putting her hand on his foot.
