Liam gave Elaine a wry smile as she noticed the plate and informed him that he would not be receiving a thank you. “Just so we’re on the same page.” With a chuckle he turned to look back at the door way. 

All but jumping a foot in the air when they slammed open from what was clearly a psychic force. Turning he scanned the crowd and noted Ashleigh standing and striding towards the door way. Snapping back around Liam narrowed his eyes and peered at the three people in the hallway. One of them was a new guy but the other two he knew. Vedika was a Kinetic of some sort and given where she was standing and what she was doing, she was trying to do something to…[b]Paulina.[/b] Liam’s eyebrows shot up, the new guy had her by the front of her shirt and it appeared that something was smoldering. The next thing Liam knew there was some guy wrapping his arms around the neck of the guy who was picking up Paulina before it appeared that his arm was seared. 

Things were getting out of hand with Ashleigh joining the brawl. “Oh goodness.” Pushing back the table Liam bit his lip. What to do? If he called spirits he was going to need to command them and possess someone no doubt. Currently none of the spirits here were beyond a class 3...well besides Elaine’s but that was out of the question. Liam had never tried to command an Outsider and there was no way to tell what commanding Elaine's spirit would do to her.

The other option was to wait for the defenses to kick in. It would probably suppress everyone in the hallway and he could get in trouble for calling and commanding students. Given Elaine’s general response to him there was no doubt she was not interested in talking. [i]Where are the powerful ghosts when you need them..[/i] Standing up Liam pushed his chair in slowly. “I think I'm going to leave you be, It was nice to meet you Elaine. Perhaps we can talk later about our mutual friend"

Well. Might as well go say hello. 

Pushing all of his emotions into a tight little ball in the back of his mind Liam slowly exhaled. Opening his eyes to the spirit world Liam continued to slow his breathing as he walked towards the knot of students standing at the door. The temperature around him dropped a few degrees causing an unnatural shiver to run through those he passed.

With a little pressure Liam sent out a call to any spirits in the vicinity. The mantra he used was not original in any fashion. When he was younger he’d had a penchant for video games and the phrase had been borrowed from them. If the spirits that came even understood it he wasn’t sure but they never seemed to mention it so for the most part it was a private joke. As passed through the crowd most people unconsciously stepped out of his way. Even in a school of freaks he was a freak amongst them. Opening himself up to the half a dozen or so class one spirits that had flocked to him they quickly inhabited him and bolstered his powers. The spirits were largely emotions and urges but they could be bent to Liam’s will if the need arose. While he didn’t exactly have a plan and he really didn’t feel like forcing a possession on anyone the debacle was going to get everyone in trouble. By the time he had parted the crowd the guy from earlier was already down on the ground. It would appear that he’d taken a kick to the groin. Liam suppressed a grimace as he took in Paulina, Ashleigh, Vedika and the two guys he didn’t know. It looked like things were largely resolved. 

The temptation to possess the guy who had grabbed Paulina was strong but it was entirely possible Paulina had done something to him or he had a condition that no one was aware of. Liam’s foot nudged something on the floor and he looked down. Reaching down he picked up a pair of glasses; at which point it dawned on him that Paulina was missing hers.

Crouching down behind Ashleigh he leaned around her and held them out in front of Paulina as she asked Ashleigh for help. “Right in front of you on your right” Taking her hand he placed her glasses in her hand and stood up. “Hope you’re alright.” Looking at the others he kept his face carefully schooled into a distant mask. It took a lot of concentration to maintain a multispirit possession and giving into any emotion could be dangerous as the class ones would seize on it.
