Secernia nodded, glancing between his eyes, head returning to it's previously tilted position. She brought up her lemonade to sip from the straw again before putting it down as he described the situation. "And then he drew a gun on you I suppose?" She said, almost a sense of dullness to her voice.
"Anyway, I'm sure you hold your mother very close to you, defending her like that. Don't you?" She said, almost questioning him. A grin grew on her lips as she toyed with what was left of his memories. She knew he was starting to remember now and was just waiting for it all to click. She'd give it a day or two. How exciting...
He continued to hold her gaze. Her smile grew slightly, obviously finding the experience slightly thrilling. "No, Rust. You don't have anything on your face, well... Other than the usual- a nose, two eyes, a mouth, some ears on the side..." She gave a small childish laugh, noticing the playful smirk on his face, "Have I anything on my face?" She wondered with a playful tone.

"He pulled the gun, I got it away from him. Wasn't as clean as the movies make it seem." The mechanic shrugged. "And yeah, Mom practically raised me since I was four when Da-when her ex walked out on her. I'd give anything for the woman and insinuating I don't love her is a one way ticket to a glowy blue fis-
He stopped. Blinked twice before looking at the shoulder where the AA normally appeared. It fizzled in and out for a second before disappearing entirely.
"....good. Got worried there for a second." the Brit breathed out, shooting Secernia an apologetic look. "As you can see, been working on it."
"As for you, you tend to have the same things as me on your face," he answered, resuming the playful tone. Verbal jousting wasn't his speciality, but he could hold his own in the arena of speech. "Well, add on a pair of red glasses but apart from that..."

Secernia listened to him describe to her all the little delicious details that she just ate right up. She noticed the blue fist start up, as though his subconscious knew what was coming. It was like that arm acted as a separate entity. She remembered the few secrets that she had gained from this boy before. Little things like that she could remind him of to bring her vision to life for him. Oh how glorious.
She didn't reply at first as he continued to say that he had been working on it, and that she had the same thing that he had on her face. Stupid little twerp. She thought.
"Actually No..." She began, activating her power and causing him to pause. She took a sip of her lemonade, glancing away from him to do so as he was caught, "Your mother didn't practically raise you, you more or less raised yourself. Her sending your father away was the worse thing that ever happened to you. He wanted to take care of you, but your mother thought that you didn't deserve it, being a mutant. She suffered trying to raise you and eventually gave up any real effort to do so. You were always getting into fights with people and she was fed up constantly. You remember the fight you had with her growing up, that was a daily occurrence. You never burned those letters from your father's parents, that was your mother who did that. Those letters were from your father to you, telling you how much he cared. Your mother hated you, really. It was a wonder you survived in that house-hold at all. "
Her words spewed from her lips, filled with a deep sort of hatred themselves, as though she was channelling what she felt that his mother should have been like.
"She's a two-faced bitch your mother... She sends you all these happy little messages on your phone... but it's all just a mask she wears. You have no reason to believe she cares for you. No reason at all."
She broke the spell suddenly and without hesitation.
"Rust are you okay there? You sort of spaced out for a minute?" She said, looking concerned, "You were just starting to tell me about your parents or something?" She blinked innocently.

[/url] (click to listen!)[/center] Say...she's really staring into my soul there, huh?
Wait, shouldn't stare like that, she might think I'm a perv or something.
Where was I? Oh right, Mom.
Moooooooooooooooooooom...
Mother. Yeah. Her.
Never really understood what he problem was. So I was different from her, what of it?
Dad would probably not mind me, right?
Right? Why does that sound weird?
Gah, can't concentrate.
All I did was try to please her though. Wasn't my fault those kids tried to start something they couldn't finish.
She didn't have to burn those letters either...or was that me? No, no, it was her, cause I remember finding the ashes and trying to hide them so I wouldn't be blamed.
She did smile a lot though...masking it all...
Right?
rIgHt? TwO fAcEd AnD sTuFf. An UtTeR bItCh, NeVeR hApPy...
all i did was try to make you feel better...
i just wanted you happy.... julieBlinking as he was abruptly brought out of his daydream, Rust shook his head. "Sorry, must have zoned out for a minute there." he tried to regain his composure. "And yeah...erm, do you mind if we change the subject? It's a sore spot for me..."

Secernia nodded solemnly, as though the words she had said hadn't been spoken at all, and that this had been an ordinary conversation thus far.
"That's fine..." She said softly, "I can understand that." To him not wanting to discuss it.
She gave him a soft warm smile, noticing the darkening look on his face, "Rust... Cheer up, I'm sorry if I've in any way upset you..." She said with a caring tone. She gave a small glance before taking another drink of her lemonade.
Inwardly, she was already considering the implications of her actions. Perhaps she had acted too hastily, driven too much by her spite and impatience. That was quite a drastic alteration... She considered, Having altered his memories so recently on top of that would mean that these will not last as long either...
She bit her lip somewhat nervously, her eyes dashing over to briefly meet with his before she glanced away, as though embarrassed.
"You know Rust... You're a lot nicer than you first seem..." She admitted, ".... I was actually wondering, if..."
It had taken years of training for Secernia to make herself blush on whim. By now, she had it nailed. Secernia's face grew slightly more red in tint as she spoke. She adjusted her glasses as though it was some sort of nervous habit.
"Maybe, sometime, you might want dinner... with me-" She pursed her lips for a moment before looking up at him, "I mean, I know that people are talking and all... so it would be something to maybe be quiet about if you wanted...to..."
She shook her head, "It's alright if you don't want to... I was just hoping that I might get to know you better..." Her eyes lifted up to meet his, "You're very interesting you know..." She said boldly.
I'll need to keep an eye on him. Keep him isolated from other students as much as I can... Perhaps I made a mistake here... One which I need to keep in close observance...

"No...No you didn't, just brought up a few bad memories, it's no big deal." He shook his head, slowly grinning to try and reassure her, though his eyes still showed a little bit of hurt behind them. After zoning out a little more, Secernia blushing brought him right back down to earth.
Nicer than I first seemed?...oh man, I have a feeling I know what's coming here...
He kept his face as neutral as he could as Secernia worked her way through her little speech until the hammerfall fell.
...............and there it is.
His first date offer, laid out on the table. Right damn there. Now the offer was open, Rust viewed Secernia in a slightly different light.
Redhead? Check. Funny? Check. Sweet? Check. Hot?
He inadvertantly gave her a once over.
Check.
Rust took a drink.
"Sure. What time and when?"

Secernia's face lifted at the reply. He's so easy to fool... She thought to herself, surprised at how easily he was being manipulated by her. She smiled warmly to the boy, "Oh, well... Maybe tomorrow night if you're free... Or some other time, I don't mind..." She said with a false casual sort of giddiness to her tone. "What works for you? You know my dorm number, right? I mentioned it earlier."
She played with the straw in her glass and finished the lemonade. "Well I'm certainly not thirsty any more, that was the third glass, right? Or fourth? Can you remember?" She wondered, lifting a finger to her chin in thought. Her dark red eyes darted to meet his, and she drew herself out of her seat and straightened her back.
She put the glass down on the table once more with a satisfying clink of ice. "Before I disappear... When should I be expecting you? I'll have a little something prepared.." She inquired with a promising smile.

"Sure thing. I'll swing by your Dorm around...say...6ish?" Rust replied, trying to hide his grin as best he could. "Dorm 12, right? Yeah, 6 sounds good."
He laughed a little at her memory.
"It's only been two, don't worry, I'll grab the bill on these. And about the something prepared... am I being too bold in asking what it might be?" the mechanic smiled, fully expecting a joke answer here. Because this was just a first date, right? Not as if anything major was gonna happen. Hell, if things screwed up, they could still just say it was a meal between friends at this stage.

Secernia smiled, "Yep, Dorm 12. Six sounds good, I'll see you then, Rust.." She said, her smiling growing slightly wider. "Oh, thank you for the lemonade, it was very refreshing..." She said with a glint to her eyes, "I'm sure I can repay you somehow."
Whenever he asked the question about what would be prepared, Secernia just gave a mischievous laugh, winked, and then disappeared without a sound, as though she hadn't ever been there at all. The only evidence was the glass on the table, condensation forming on the sides in the hot sun.

Rust just stared where Secernia had vanished for a few moments, unable to blink.
So...what started as an apology...ended up as a date? Bloody hell...
THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTNING! VERY VERY FRIGHTENING! ME!
Looking down, Rust felt the phone vibrate in his pocket but after a quick moment of deliberation, decided to forgo it. Was probably Julie just checking up to see if he was dead yet or not. Making sure she wasn't due for an insurance payment for his injuries or what not.
Screw it.
