At the chance to show off, RAy smirked. He stopped and set the duffle bag down, popping his knuckles afterward. At first he held his hands closed together, like he was holding a small ball. He felt his temperature rising, his eyes turned blue, and steadily, blue bolts began to appear between his hands.
Redirecting them to one, Ray held his hand out, and the bolts coarsed up and down his arm, then out into the air, heading for the first contuctable thing, in this case, a metal picture frame. The frame quivered, then shook, then jumped from the table, and then into Ray's hands.
Ray stumbled back from the force, his eyes returning to normal and the bolts disappearing. He looked at Paige, and smiled, holding the picture frame up.
"I make electricity," he said simply. Setting the Picture frame down, he popped his knuckles again, then rolled his shoulders. A habit he wasn't exactly happy to have, but it was necessary.

((shh shh! she ain't supposed to know! lol jk))
"Hey, she asked!" Ray said brusquely, crossing his arms after he had retrieved the duffle. He glanced at Paige, then at X23; "Can she be your roommate?" he asked, not knowing that it was possible to have roommates.

((oh yaaaay))
Paige's eyes lit up with delight, and she gasped when the frame suddenly flew into his hands. "That's awesome, why couldn't mine be that cool?" She smiled and had a sudden thought. "Hey, you can control it? All the time? Does that mean you can go swimming an' stuff without killing everyone?" She asked with an amused look on her face.
Paige turned her head at the voice and sudden appearance of another girl. "Aha, it isn't an all guys school." She pretended to frown and be dissapointed. "Hi, I'm Paige." She smiled at the girl and waved. She'd figured there were girls since she'd only seen two people so far. She giggled at the interaction between the two of them and bit her lip.

Ray shook his head; "I haven't risked the pool yet," he explained; "Sometimes when I get angry I send off a couple bolts. But I haven't killed anybody yet;" he paused; "Well what can you...?" he asked, but his voice trailed away as he saw her wrist. Was he skin a different color.
"Are you a morph?" he asked, interest peaked, thinking ot an old, pre-institute friend.

"Yes please maybe that'll keep Bobby out of my room," she said that boy never learned.
"Did she really ask?" she joked laughing.
"Oh Ray leave her alone you know how people are about there powers and if I was you I'd steer clear of da pool, so lets get ya to our room," she said grabbing Rays hand and dragging him to her roo,m the girl fallowing.

"What? We're at a school full of mutants, X!" Ray said; "We were all gonna find out!"
When the reached the room X23 let him go, and ray crossed his arms again in a huff; "Leave me alone," he said, pouting; "Ain't my fault I can instant-fry."
Ray looked at Paige; "I didn't mean to be too rude, I was just curious was all..." he sat the duffel down, and then stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Oh, well thats good." She said to his comment about not killing anyone.
"Wha-" She said slightly shocked. "I thought you made electricity, suddenly your-" She trailed off before saying 'psychic' and follwed his gaze to her wrist. "Oh crap..." She blushed a little and quickly grabbed her wrist to cover it up.
"Yeah..." She grumbled and followed the two to her room. "Yeah." She repeated in a somewhat embarressed voice. "It's no big deal." She had figured that she could only hide her power for so long in a school where she was supposed to be trained to use it, but she'd figured it might have lasted a little longer.

Ray looked at her; "It's no big deal," he said, knowing she was embarassed about it; "Trust me, you're luckier than any of those norms out there," he motioned to the window, to the world beyond their little sanctuary. "Hey, can I see...?" he asked slowly, politely, holding out his hand and hoping she wouldn't shy away and block him out.
He had a thing for mutations, sure, but he'd been around some scary ones. He had lived with the Morlocks after all, he knew how to handle such things. Outer mutations just didn't scare him at all, in fact he thought they were really cool, even better than internal ones because they justpromoted one's own indeviduality. He was sure that Paige's power couldn't be as dibliitating as a little girl's he knew. He didn't want to ridicule her or make her feel worthless, Hell no. He just wanted to know what was so wrong about her ability. Even Sam was pretty secure with his, and he was destructive.
He hoped the understanding and interest was etched in his face.

Paige bit her cheek and looked over at X23, half expecting to find Sam there. In strange situations back home, Sam was always within a few feet with some sort of advice, but after her taunting he'd probably been less than happy to follow her upstairs. "Uh, yeah, fine." She pulled her hand away from her wrist, and with it went a layer of dead skin. The small patch that had been revealed showed a glassy looking layer.
"I can't exactly control it, not like you. Sometimes its not this different, I mean one time I just had freckles and then about a week ago this cut I had was suddenly gone over night..." She looked over at him for some sort of a reaction to the awkward layer of skin.

But unphased, Ray only studied her hand, not surpirsed, not disgusted, unphased as the skin broke away. He was trying to figure out what it is Paige could do, what her mutation meant, how she could fix it, control it. This was his way, this is what he had done when with the Morlocks. She seemed so awkward, so uptight about this, he started to regret it, but her mutation was something he'd never seen Gently, he reached out, glancing at her for approval, then he took her hand nad held her wrist up slightly.
"Paige... that's...that's crazy!" he said quietly, gently touching the revealed patch. It was smooth, just like glass; "Crazy cool, though," he said, slowly letting go of her hand. he looekd at her; "Why would you be ashamed of that?" he asked. "That's beautiful compared to some of what I've seen."
And he had seen a lot.
