It was almost like the two of them had known each other for a long time and she had a comfort level with the other girl despite having never met her before.  One such sign of this surprising level of comfort was when she used her hair to tickle Highlights cheeks.  She never did anything like that, especially to someone she'd met only a short time ago.  In fact, she almost never made a display of her powers, preferring to keep them under wraps as much as possible and here she was showing off a bit.  Then again, it was a harmless trick so it wasn't like she was putting anyone at risk of being harmed and it seemed to please Highlights so she did it for a bit longer before she would allow her hair to return to its more natural length.<br/><br/>As she was asked to tell more stories about her, her smile faltered just a little bit.  The truth was she didn't have a whole lot of fun stories.  Well they were fun in their own sense, but she wasn't sure if Highlights would find them interesting.  Then again, she seemed nice and friendly and Medusa was enjoying the girl's company so she decided to open up.<strong>“Alright, so you know I can paralyze people.  What you don't know is that I lived on the streets until I was caught.”</strong>Medusa paused with a grin, hoping she had the girl's attention,<strong>“Well in order to make money, I used to act like I was a hooker.  I'd let guys pick me up and then when we were alone, I'd paralyze them and take their money.  Used to work like a charm and the best part is they couldn't report it since they were committing a crime when it happened.”</strong><br/><br/>She had always loved that last part.  Even if they could remember who she was, and that was very rare, they wouldn't report it because then it would come out why they had run into her and that was a crime as well.  So most men just shut their mouths and were grateful they lost a few hundred bucks and not their lives.  At this point the movie was long forgotten as her body was now fully facing Highlights, her legs crossed Indian style and her shirt riding up to her thighs so that Highlights could actually see her bright pink shorts that she was sporting underneath the tee-shirt she was wearing.  Not that Medusa really minded that at all since she was too wrapped up in having fun talking to the girl.<strong>“Ok now it's your turn to tell me something!”</strong><br/><br/>Leaning back, she would listen to whatever Highlights wanted to talk about until she finally offered her hand and to give her some energy.  She looked at the hand curiously for a long time as if she wasn't sure what she wanted to do.  At some point she'd planned to sleep, but then again she hadn't planned on having someone to talk to either.  She looked at Heather and then she smiled.  Medusa liked the other girl and decided that she wouldn't mind staying up all night long with her.<strong>“Alright, I'm in,”</strong>she said with a grin,<strong>“Not like I have anything worth doing tomorrow anyway.  And besides, I'm having a good time so why not keep it going, right?”</strong><br/><br/>Leaning forward, she reached out and clasped Heather's hand, their fingers entwining as she looked at the other girl.  She didn't know what exactly to expect, so she braced herself, almost like she thought she was going to get some sort of shock.
