@Miakardia What sort of limitations do we have on powers?

Apologies. I've had a couple things of my own that I've had to be dealing with (lost my job due to downsizing).

@A Tattooed Girl If you need some time to get better, take it :) It's not like this is urgent.

Paulina Benson

In a heartbeat, Paulina was up and half-hugging, half-supporting Ashleigh. ”You are not weak, Ash,” she murmured into her ear, ”You’re one of the strongest people I know.” Drawing away a little to look at her face, Paulina smiled warmly and proudly. ”Certainly stronger than me.”

It was true. While Paulina couldn’t know what it was like to be in her friend’s shoes, to feel all the varied and constantly changing emotions of everyone around, she likened it to being in a crowded room with everyone shouting at the top of their lungs at once. In comparison, going blind didn’t seem too bad. The fact that Ashleigh even got out of bed each day was amazing, and it was that strength and bravery that inspired her to keep trying with her own project. And it was that reason why, if Ashleigh were to ever ask her of anything, and Paulina thought it would help, she couldn’t say no.

She shifted around so that she was under Ashleigh’s arm, ready to support as much weight as her friend needed. ”If you’re sure that you want to do this, then okay. I’ll be right beside you if it becomes too much.” Smiling warmly, Paulina kissed her friend on the cheek. ”And Ash? I am really proud of you, for trying to help Alister,” she said, making no effort to hide that pride and admiration.

The pair slowly made their way towards the kitchen, waving at the pair of boys who were waiting for them as Paulina helped Ashleigh into a chair. ”Well, we’re here boys. I think I can guess most of what happened, but let’s hear it from you.”

Paulina Benson

It took some time, but eventually Paulina was able to make it to her room. She knew from prior experience that whenever her friend was taxed too much, the best thing was for her to just sleep it off. The entire way, Paulina kept talking in the same low, soothing voice.

”I… I took it off…”

”I know, I saw you. It was a very brave thing to do.”

"Its...it doesn't dull my effect on others, enough..."

”It’s okay, we’ll make it stronger, I promise. Nobody got hurt, everything will be fine. You just rest.” Using her elbow to open the door, Paulina slipped into her dorm room and gently laid her friend on her bed. ”We can talk about it when you're feeling up to it, okay?”

"Liam is scared....It's my fault, whatever I did with Alister...."

Crawling onto the bed and laying down beside Ashleigh, Paulina smiled and tucked the empath’s head against her chest, softly brushing her hair with her fingers. ”No, Ash, it wasn't your fault. It was just an accident, we'll figure it out. Besides, Liam’s a big boy, I'm sure he can handle whatever is going on. First you need to recover, alright? Then we'll get everything sorted out. “

Internally, Paulina was already trying to puzzle through what happened. Something had set her sensitive friend off, something sudden that had caught her by surprise. The telekinetic wave had obviously been an instinctive attempt to defend herself from whatever “it” was. Right after that was when Liam told everybody to leave, which meant that Ashleigh’s “push” must have also disturbed the ghosts that she had seen while she had been in Liam’s body.

"Alister....must talk to..."

”Shh. We'll talk to him after you've rested a bit,” she murmured. The triggerpoint, however, had been Alister. He'd been the one who had shouted first. Whatever had happened to him, Ashleigh must have felt it. So the question then was, what had set Alister off? She hadn't been paying much attention to what he had been doing in the class, so it was difficult to say. Whatever the case, they were definitely going to have to have another talk.

It could happen later, however. Right now, she had higher prior-

”Ashleigh, Paulina, Jason, Vedica, and whoever else this may concern. This is Alister. Meet myself and Liam for dinner in the kitchen down the hall. Room 34-A. It's an urgent matter please be present ASAP. Thank you"

Glancing up at the ceiling, Paulina frowned. What the hell is he doing? Did he sneak into the office? He should be resting as well! At this rate, he was going to hurt himself even further, however he managed to do it the first time. And what do him and Liam want to talk about?

”Paulina…”

Blinking, she looked down at Ashleigh, the girl's face looking surprisingly concerned. "Please, let's go to this meeting. I need to know what I did, please. I need to know if it was because I took the bracelet off, or how I diffused Alister's pain. Please, Paulina. Let me go kitchen."

The request made Paulina’s frown deepen. ”Are you sure? That class took a lot out of you. I'm sure we could figure out some way of participating remotely.” The scientist in Paulina very much did want to go, if only for the opportunity to question Alister about what had happened. But she was a friend first and foremost; magical science would always be secondary to that.
