Bracelets for the soul

Vale was surprised at the amount of hands helping him up. He glared at Iksel, but was too emotionally drained to get into anymore disputes at the moment. He glanced at Cyrus and Alraada, furrowing his brow. "Oh, ah. T-Thank you both." He tried to focus his concentration on regaining control of his limbs, focusing on his feet to at least take some of the stress off the others. He was starting to get some movement back, the recovery process quickening as his mind flexed and reassembled itself. This goes here...and this...and that.
Out of everything that had happened, this certainly was the most surprising. But in comparison to his ex, Alti was a saint. "I can move ok now," He said, pushing himself up with the help of the other two. "Thank you..." He would allow the others to take him in with no issues.

 

"Hey man, you don't have to do that. Although, I'll admit, you're making this a lot more easy. It sucks being short sometimes." she said with a sigh.
Oh how she wished she could be tall.

Alraada's eyes widened.
What did he say...?
That he would back her up?
She felt something...she couldnt put er funger on it
Wait...
Is this what feeling like she was worth something felt like?
This new sensation...she wanted to feel it all the time.
She looked to the back, with a big grin, mouthing 'Thank you!' to sharkboy.
She hoped he would find his lavagirl...he could make someone really happy.

She turned her attention over to Alti, who had made them a portal.
"Nice!! Thanks, Alti! You're both being really cool about this..."
She looked back to Vale.
"Ah, you can stand again, that's good." she said, with a relieved sigh.
She took Vale's hand just in case, and stuck her other free one into the portal.
"Holy shit..." she muttered,mesmerized.

"This is...."

"...going against every bit of research I've done on physics..."

"Holy fuck this is so cool!"

She stepped into the portal, still holding onto vales hand, ready to see the other side.

    The scientist looked to his soulmate in surprise. After how uncomfortable the two of them had been around each other, this was a very pleasant turn of events. He smiled to his partner warmly before stepping through with Alraada, the trip back now a lot easier with Vale up on his feet once more. He still walked closely, spotting the luchador just in case of another mishap.


    Cyrus laughed and stepped through after her, walking them to their room door. "You fuckin' nerd!" he teased before shooting her a wide grin. "...Strictly speaking though, scientifically it should be impossible." He chuckled and glanced to the side, almost sheepishly. "Gotta say, a lot of stuff has taken me off guard so far during this experiment... Can't complain though. It's pretty fucking cool," he grinned.

Cheri nodded, standing up and taking a step back though a worried expression still graced their face. "Mhmm... If you ever want to talk... or anything I'm here. I um," Cheri looked away, tugging their hood instinctively. With Maicy around they felt unsafe saying the truth, but still wanted to expression their feeling to somebody similar to themself. "Have a friend like yours. And... I never met anybody else like that before."

They then readajusted themself, smoothing their jumper and brushing a stray hair away. "I'll leave you be. Thank you for listening."

    Alti blushed a bit at the comments, his eyes now glued to the floor as he dragged his feet through the portal after the other three made their way to the other side. He could never recall a time when anyone other than him thought his powers were anything but bizarre, and he supposed that was what bothered him most when the shirtless multicolored asshole blabbered about the supernatural. His portals took up a big part of his life and were a big part of him, so to have two people --not just one, but two entire people-- call them "cool" made him feel... pretty cool, too. Well, cooler than he already was, of course! He mumbled a small "thank you" into the air, the portal soon closing behind him as the other couple made it to their door.


Alti snapped his head back up immediately at the mention of his home. Oh, not this shit again. he thought, his eyes narrowing in annoyance as the rest of him prepared itself for possible conflict. But all that seemed to be unnecessary, and Alti soon calmed down shortly after, a little flustered once the wrestler finished his....

Apology?

And a proper one, too?

His embarrassment was probably enough to rival the others. He hadn't even consider the other man' feelings AT ALL during their earlier confrontation. "No, I'm sorry..." he replied. "I guess I shouldn't have gotten.... too mad about it, heh." He glanced at Cyrus for a brief moment before clutching his arm nervously. Man, talking about this was always hard. "It's not like you would just know, you know? Not really something you see or hear about everyday.... it's uhhh... different." Alti rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes looking straight at his room door. "YeahCyweprobablyshouldgotoo."

    Cyrus felt the grin on his face growing wider and prouder, a major feeling of relief sweeping over his body as the two reconciled, nodding to Alti as he looked to him during his apology. Oh thank fuck, he sighed, one of the major sources of interpersonal stress now alleviated for the time being. With how well he was able to chat with Alraada, and with how the green team seemed to be avoiding him and Alti at the beginning of the day, the scientist was frankly incredibly pleased with how well the day ended up.

    And hopefully this means no more brawls.




    The scientist chuckled at his partner's sheepishness and nodded, lightly tugging his hand. "Alright, we'll see you nerds later then~" he waved, walking back to their room and unlocking the door, closing it behind him once Alti walked in after him. "Well that went way better than expected!" he chimed, locking the door.

    Pushing his sweated hair out of his face, damn do I feel gross right now, he locked eyes with his partner and tilted his head. Alti's theatrical explosion in the gym certainly had to have been deeper than some sort of act of instigation, and with how hurt Alraada and Aberdeen seemed to outwardly be at those comments, he pursed his lips with concern.

    "Hey, what about you, bud? Are you okay after all that?" He rubbed the back of his neck and frowned. Despite his lack of supernatural aura he'd experienced his own fair share of Naces in his life, and while he'd escaped that daily struggle several years ago, he could at least empathize with their upset. "That highlighter is a major fucking twat with a brain stuck rotting in the last century. You shouldn't listen to him." He shot Alti a little grin, patting him on the shoulder, the scientist's face changing to one of embarrassment as his sticky skin stuck to the other for a moment.
