Mai continued to eye the boy. Something was off about him, and while she continued to straighten herself out, she listened to what he had to say. It took her a few seconds to register his words; part of her was still hyper focused on listening for the guards when what he said struck her. She snapped her head to face him again, her yellow eyes, glowing faintly, looking into his. "You took them out..." Mai wasn't sure if she wanted to phrase that as a question or a statement, but the disbelief in her voice was evident. He was like her. He was an experiment. Different emotions ran through her head: fear, excitement, joy, anger. She had only met one other person, and that was her old friend. Mai almost believed she would die before she met someone else.<br/><br/>For a moment, she simple stood staring at him. She wanted to say something, but nothing came to mind. Instead, she suddenly remembered that even though those guards were down, she had momentarily used her powers again, and more would be on the way soon. Her eyes flashed to orange as she grabbed the boy by his hand. "Look," she started, her voice shaking a little. "Thank you for what you did, really. But, I need to get going now. I have this collar," she pulled down the scarf she was wearing to show the hideous white contraption around her neck. "It goes off whenever I use my powers, and there will be new officers coming after me. I don't want you getting mixed up in this. I don't know how you have your freedom, but don't lose it, okay?"<br/><br/>Mai started to walk away, fully intending on forgetting about the boy, but he had saved her. He didn't have to, and yet he still did. Quickly, before she could talk herself out of what she was about to do, she walked back to him. Pulling a marker out of her backpack, she reached for the boy's hand again and wrote something on his palm. It was an address, and a time of eight in the evening the next day. "Meet me at this address at this time tomorrow," she continued. Her eyes on his were almost pleading. "I have questions and I'm sure you do too, but we aren't safe here tonight.<em> Promise </em>me you'll go there tomorrow."
