Having had a busy day of trying to fly below the radar, all he wanted to do was relax for the rest of the night, its hard when your a new kid at a school full of super powered teenagers. All Sebastian wanted to do was get a good night sleep but knew he couldn't go to sleep cause he would just wake up in some random spot, he had left his "energy pills" in his room, and would need them tonight to help keep him awake. He could feel his body call out for sleep but would not give in to its need cause he new what it could mean. He just needed to get his pills.....
With a thought he appeared back in his dorm room he walked over to his bed and dresser. Not remembering where he hid them, but knowing that he had buried them some where in the very little personal belongs he owned which was stuffed into the dresser by his bed, he began rummaging through his stuff. It was a minute before he realized there was somebody else in the room with him.

Beau hadn't really gotten to know both his roommates yet; he definitely didn't know much about Sebastian. Beau had mostly come back to his room to go ahead and sleep for the night. Now that he'd decided to really crack down and focus on his powers, he spent a lot of time training. And that time meant that he spent a lot of his time being exhausted, having shifted powers and worked at using far, far more abilities than he cared to.
He'd been more or less ready to just collapse and call it a day when he heard someone rummaging around nearby. Beau couldn't recall hearing door open or anything, so he pushed himself off the bed, ran his face over his bleary eyes, and walked toward the noise. To his slight surprise, it was one of his roommates, rummaging through stuff. "hey," said a drowsy Beau, still blinking a little, "what are ya lookin' for?" The last came out as even more of a drawl than normal, as Beau nearly had to stifle a yawn. The place looked really disheveled, and Beau couldn't see anything that gave away any hints.

"Oh hi, sorry if I woke you...I was just looking for my...... medication." My name is Sebastian by the way I'm guess your one of my roommates glad to meet you." Sebastian said with a smile, slipping on his 'everything is awesome' mask as he spoke. He wondered why he always did that, he never liked showing his real emotions. He held out his hand to shake the other guys.
"So how long have you been at the school?" He could tell from the guys southern drawl that he was from down south, which gave Sebastian another reason to be leery of what he said to the guy, he has met many bible thumpers in his travels and found most to be either very judgmental or total hypocrites. Still they couldn't all me like that right he thought.
Abel was munching on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when he walked up on the pair of conversing males, having been drawn out of the kitchen by the sound of voices. His curiosity was pricked. Logically the only other people in his dorm would be his dorm-mates (hopefully), and he had yet to properly meet either of them.
Bracing one hand against the door-frame, Abel leaned into the room and grinned, swallowing the rest of his sandwich. "Morning," he greeted cheerily. Whether it was actually morning or not seemed completely irrelevant to the conversation, so he didn't bother fixing it. "I'm Abel, you two must be Sebastian and Beau, right?" Abel asked hopefully. It was never nice to find intruders in one's house, and if their names were not Sebastian and Beau, then he properly had some trouble.

"Ain't seen no pills 'round here,' said Beau, looking around. He rubbed his face again, trying to get a better look at the area around him. The other guy looked pretty much okay though, so Beau figured it was just the sort of medicine that you needed to take on a regular basis. He started to sort of look around himself, not quite dedicating himself to the task.
"Been here a few years," offered Beau, still stifling a yawn, "an' I'm--" but before Beau could finish, the other roommate showed up. Beau turned to look at the guy, feeling his stomach turn a little at the sight of the sandwich. Eating something like that did sound pretty good right now, though not quite as much as getting a good night's sleep. Beau promised himself both in good time.
For now, there were introductions to be had. Beau nodded at the guy, who had to be Abel, confirming his statement. "I'm Beau; he's Sebastian," Beau nodded to the other roommate, then stifled another yawn before adding: "Sebastian lost some medication; you ain't seen any, have ya?" he looked at Abel, not really expecting the other guy to have noticed it either. There might have been something tucked away in a cabinet somewhere, but Beau couldn't say for sure. He didn't really snoop, especially not in medicine cabinets.

"Hi" added Sebastian after Beau was done talking, He wished that Beau hadn't said anything about the pills, since the school didn't know he was taking them and he didn't get them legally to begin with. So Abel how long have you been at the school? And if you guys don't mind me asking what can you both do?"
"Beau, Sebastian." he repeated, nodding his head back and forth between the pair in an effort to distinguish them. Easy enough, he was good with names. His head cocked, eyes clouding as he trecked through the dorm in his mind. Had he seen any medication around? Eventually he could only shrug and shake his head. "Unfortunately no." Looking at Sebastian he winced apologetically. 'Sorry mate, wish i could help ya." At least helping him look was the least he could do, and Abe was always willing to help. Walking fully into the room he began rummaging here and there in an effort to find them.
He looked up as Sebastian addressed him, bashfully scratching his head. "Ah well, I was pretty much raised around this place. But officially? I guess it's been around six year?" he guessed uncertainly. He'd never thought to count.
"Power amplification." he answered forthrightly, standing up with a groan, stretching out his back. 'I can't do jack on my own, but I can magnify the powers of anyone I touch."
It seemed like Abel picked up on who was who easily enough. Beau was pretty sure that he was gonna get the two confused sooner or later, especially given that he still wasn't firing on all cylinders. He did pick up that Abel hadn't seen any medication either. Figured.
The Southern boy yawned while Abel answered the initial question, his eyes still wandering over the room. Would you leave medication in plain sight in your room though? That didn't make a lot of sense, but, wait, wouldn't medication possibly be handled by, like a nurse or a school doctor or something. So Abel had been around here for forever; cool, Beau tried to file that one away for later. So he had one roommate who hadn't been here long and another that had pretty much been here from birth, which put Beau right in the middle.
Then came the power thing. Beau was almost surprised at how quickly Abel answered. The Southerner was disinclined to immediately talk about it, and he shifted his feet a little. He poked at Sebastian's bed, then glanced at the other two. "Power Mimicry," he offered, figuring that they should probably know, what with sleeping near him and all. "I can't do nothin' on my own neither, but get me within 'bout ten feet of someone else an' I pick up whatever they can do," he looked over at Sebastian, expectantly waiting for him to go ahead and share as well.

Sebastian listened to the other two speak, envious of the idea of living in one place for your whole life. He was put on edge when he heard that Abe could boost powers. Sebastian thought most people around here would love the thought of having their powers become stronger or easier to use but not him, having no idea what would happen if his powers were ever boosted. But upon hearing about Beau's power working within ten feet, a fear even greater struck him. If this guy copied his power he could wind anywhere in the world in and instant, then lose the power to get back.
Fighting the urge to teleport, thinking it my be more liking to trigger Beau's ability. Sebastian jumps back away from Beau as quickly as possible, knocking over his belongings as he did, He put as much distance as he could between them, while making sure not to touch Abe in the process. "I can teleport, but it happens all the time and can take me to random places just for thinking about them. If that was to happen to you you could wind up anywhere in the world!"
What Sebastian didn't see was that when he knocked over his stuff, the bottle of pills (with no prescription label but a lab label reading Ephedrine) rolled its way over to Abe's feet.
Abe had the talent of settling himself into any environment and making himself completely at home. He was already quite comfortable in the presence of Sebastian and Beau, and had no qualms about sharing information about himself or his power. He simple wasn't the kind of individual to give those kinds of things any sort of forethought. It wasn't necessarily a good trait.
Beau's power wasn't entirely different from his, at least in the main concept. However, at least Beau was able to do something on his own with help, Abe could only help others. While it suited his personality quite well, it could be hard.
Abe rocked around at the sudden movement in the corner of his eye, noticing Sebastian jump back as if in fright. His expression changed from concerned to confused when he heard a rattle and felt something tap his foot. Bending down, he resurfaced with a little bottle. He held it up with a raised eyebrow. "This what you're looking for?"

Random teleportation? Beau's eyes widened at that, and he couldn't help but wonder who had decided to room he and Sebastian together. Abel and Beau made sense: their powers complimented each other and there wasn't' likely to be any damage done. One wrong teleport though, and Beau could wind up in some foreign country without any way of getting back home. Sebastian wasn't the only one edging away.
Beau had been so wrapped up in the power and such that he hadn't noticed the pills, at least not until Abel bent down and picked them up. The Southerner might still be bleary with his own tiredness, but he could still see that was definitely medication. "Certainly looks like some medication from here," he agreed, nodding in the direction of the pills. He stifled another yawn, pushing himself up onto his feet to get a better look. He twisted his head a little, reading off the label.
"Ephedrine," he said, his accent twisting the word to make it nearly illegible, "well, that ain't nothin' I got in my gear. That what you were lookin' for, Sebastian?"

"Err yes thanks" Sebastian said, he had momentary forgotten about the pills, reach over he took the bottle from Abe thanking both of them for their help he looking. He quickly put the bottle into his pocket hoping neither of them noticed that his name wasn't on the bottle, he had teleported into a lab to get the drug cause there was no way he could get them legally.
"Hey Beau I'll talk with the school see if we can get some sort of GPS beacon for you, so if you did randomly teleport, we could find you and I'll come and get you.
"So Abe why have you lived here for so long?, and if you guys want I can port us some where else for some real food?" He tried not to come off too eager, but was still new at making friends so he fell back on the best way he knew how free teleports!
He had to admit, the power combinations filed into their dorm didn't seem especially well thought out. He trusted both of his two new room-mates though, and was too positive to believe that anything bad could come of their relationship.
Abel handed Sebastian the bottom with a grin, though there was slight concern in his eyes as he examined the boy. He had no reason to step on his privacy, but he couldn't help but notice the lack of name, or any real prescription information on the bottle. While it was difficult to believe Sebastian was taking unprescribed medication, there didn't seem to be many other possibilities. He'd have to bring it up with him later. Abe had the habit of adopting others, even when his attention wasn't wanted.
Laughing, Abel bashfully scratched the back of his neck. "Well you see my last name is Bellefonte, my grandfather founded his place. It was just kind of expected that we were basically raised around here, I guess." he admitted with a grin. "There's never really been anywhere else for me." Even with the peanut butter and jelly sandwich his stomach growled at the mention of food and Abe bit his lip in embarrassment.
"Don't tire yourself out, Bassy, we can walk. Besides, your powers are surely better used for other things, I'd hate to be a bother."

Beau nodded at Sebastian's suggestion. Some variation of a tracker would definitely be appreciated; the last thing Beau wanted was to wind up lost in Egypt or someplace equally awkward without a way of escape. He did have a slight worry that he might just end up porting to the bottom of the ocean or something, but he didn't want to worry Sebastian further about it. The poor guy already looked a little upset about the fact that his power might cause problems.
Though that wasn't stopping Sebastian from suggesting that he abuse them. Beau frowned. He could understand wanting to port for training or something, but that casual want of using it just rubbed him wrong. He'd spent years making sure that people didn't know he was some kind of freak, and here was someone who wanted to let the freak flag fly. Beau just yawned though; he wasn't in the mood to fight, investigate, or think that much, for that matter.
He did have to admit that Sebastian's comment made his head swivel over to Abel. "Bellefonte..." repeated Beau, frowning, "name ring's a bell... don't suppose you got any sis--" Beau stopped himself before he said something stupid or dangerous. The last thing he wanted to mention was that he thought he might have known a pretty Bellefonte girl or two. That's what happened when you were tired: you stopped thinking straight.
"That's gotta be nice," Beau said, "the knowin' where you stand, part. Tweren't exactly my best moment when I suddenly grew pixie wings in the middle o' a Southern crowd," Beau chuckled and rubbed at his face, the memory not one he was exactly thrilled to be relieving. Wait, had Abel said Bassy? Who the heck was Bassy...?

Listening to Abe tell about his last name, and about living here his whole life, Sebastian couldn't help but feel an over whelming feeling of envy towards him. "That must have been amazing to have lived in one place your whole life, err I mean this place!" Sebastian remarked trying to cover up the fact that he was more envious of Abe living in one place his whole life then at a living at a superpower school.
Seeing Beau's frown, Sebastian thought it was concern about him copying Sebastian's powers, "Hey Beau if you want once we get a GPS on you we can practice you being close to me without teleporting if you want?"
Hearing Abe's stomach growl he couldn't help but smirk. A smirk grown wider by the comment made by Abe, and blushing slightly at the nick name he called him by. He decided not to say anything about getting hired out as he was confident that he cloud at lest teleport the three of them into town with ease if not the whole us, and with effort the world, but then again looking over at Beau he decided it may be best to just to the walk to the lunch room instead of risking a reaction with one of their powers.
He snorted a little at the thought of better things to use his powers for, his powers have caused him trouble his whole life, he would love to direct them to a better use but how to do that was the question, as of right now they seem to cause him nothing but trouble so he would squeeze every bit of benefit he can from them.
Looking sympathetic at Beau as he told his story, he was all too familiar with embarrassing events caused by ones powers. Wondering if either of them had been to the masked dance, when he teleported in naked mid shower on his first day here. Looking down at the ground with fresh embarrassment brought to his face at the thought of that. He went to the door ask "I'm down for walking if you want, who's in" as he looked up at the other waiting for a response, he mindlessly reached in a grabbed a pill from the bottle, and with practiced ease swallowing it with no water needed. Feeling the haze of sleepiness that was closing in to fade back in the face of new found energy.
