Peace and Quiet [OPEN]

[tubeborn.livejournal.com]

Mewtwo had been searching for somewhere less busy, and he found it in the form of the city. It was more open and somewhat cooler, but the most important thing was that there were fewer people. There were some, true, but it wasn't as much of a big rush of strange beings as there was in the main living area.

He could think here.

Probably his biggest concern was checking that his powers were still working properly. There was something... off. He had to figure out what it was.

The catlike creature could be found on a grassy hill, floating with eyes closed just above its crest. His legs and arms were folded up almost in a fetal position, his tail swishing slowly back and forth behind him. As he meditated, he was focusing on the grass below. If someone stopped to watch, they might notice he was slowly flattening out all of the blades of grass on the hill a handful at a time from the center down.

It was something to do while he thought, and it was a test for his precision to see how badly it had been damaged.

"Whoo mental powers, cooooool," remarked Ben in his usual derpy manner. He was used to various powers and this ranked high on the scale of freaking awesome. "Hey I just wanted to say hi, and um, for what its worth welcome to Stacy. I'm Ben Tennyson, of the Outsiders. Is there anything I can help you with? Food? Water? A place to stay?"

Mewtwo was torn for a moment. On the one hand, he just wanted this human to go away. He could just ignore him and hope for that outcome. But, on the other, these humans outnumbered him vastly.

And some of them, just enough to potentially be dangerous, were psychics. Mewtwo denied it to himself, but it was true that this thought gave him pause.

He opened his eyes to peer suspiciously at Ben.

< I am Mewtwo, > he replied. < I do not accept charity. >

"Hey it's less charity than looking out for fellow crewmembers," pointed out Ben easily. Not one to give up or be deterred so easily, he added, "People wake up on such a rare basis now, it's kind of nice to at least meet a few people and all."

"Besides, you look like you're one of those stoic solitary types who need someone to counterbalance it with a little weirdness. Am I getting close?"

Mewtwo was silent for a moment, trying to decide what he made of this. Then, he gave his tail a slightly more emphatic lash.

< There is nothing wrong > he said firmly, < with solitude. I will owe no debts to anyone and I will need no help from any human. >
