Julian gave a small chuckle. " Wow, I thought you were just a robot before, you can make my laugh, which is difficult to do... good job." Julian said handsomely as he took a shot of his drink.

[Celine☆]

Bryce swallowed. He had made him laugh? No one had ever laughed because of him before... Not really laughed. "You thought I was a robot?" He said, looking at him sideways a little.

[GatbsyLover20]

" Well.." Julian said feeling slightly embarrassed. " I... well you didn't really show ay passion in anything... sorry to say."

[Celine☆]

"Oh." Bryce nodded a little and flicked a nut shell off the counter infront of him. "I have a problem with things like that. I know. It's just hard for me to... Show emotions." He shrugged easily.

[GatbsyLover20]

" Ahh well we all got our demons, just gotta learn to overcome them you know?" He said with a shrug and a laugh. " Want a drink?"

[Celine☆]

Bryce nodded. "Yeah, I'd take a drink I think... If my powers'll let me."

[GatbsyLover20]

Julian handed him his own drink, hoping Bryce could get the freedom and finally learn to cut loose.

[Celine☆]

He could feel himself rebel. His hand paused as if hitting an opposing polarity before the glass, and Bryce had to concentrate in order to wrap his fingers around it. He wanted this... He wanted to try. A small, kind of relieved, smile hit his face and he looked up at Julian. "Got it."

[GatbsyLover20]

Julian patted him hard on the back. " Awesome bro, just awesome... how was it?"

[Celine☆]

"Well my nasial passage is on fire and my tongue hurts," Bryce said, staring at the dark liquid contemplatively. "But I was expecting that."

[GatbsyLover20]

" Oh well..." Julian said with a shrug as he went back to drinking.

[Celine☆]

((Joseph made this for us: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ))

Bryce smirked a little and wiped the condensation off his hands and onto a napkin that was laying around. Never dry your hands on your clothing, Bryce. "So I guess I can take a couple people with me into town?"

[GatbsyLover20]

( Yeah I know I joined :P)

" Uh yeah.." Julian said taking a drink. " I think that's how it works."

[Celine☆]

((Oh good. Didn't see. ;) Lol))

Bryce nodded only ever so slightly. Oh God. Now it came time to actually ask, he didn't know if he could do it. "I was uhm," He cleared his throat. "I was wondering if you would like to come with me...? I'm planning on asking Sam as well, but uh, I'd like you to come too."

[GatbsyLover20]

Julian looked at Bryce for a moment. Taking another shot and whipped his moth before shrugging. " Sure, sounds pretty awesome."

[Celine☆]

"Really? You'll go? That's awesome, I mean it'll be fun with you there... And Sam. If he wants to come..." Bryce was grinning stupidly at the counter, somehow losing his composure for a moment. Was this what it was like to have REAL friends?

[GatbsyLover20]

Julian nodded and took a drink before his food finally arrived and he began to chow down on his ribs.

[Celine☆]

Bryce sat there and watched him for a moment, his technical mind forming a contrast between the way Julian conducted himself and how Bryce himself conducted. There was a definate difference, but it wasn't bad.

[GatbsyLover20]

"You gonna order anything Bryce or are you just gonna sit there and look handsome." He said with a chuckle taking a bite of his mashed potatoes.

[Celine☆]

Bryce's throat caught and he looked away as he tried to hide how flustering the comment was. He ordered a weird soup he had never heard of before and then sat there quietly again, eyes sneaking up to Julian every now and then as staring at his plate grew boring. "Uh, sorry."

[GatbsyLover20]

" No problem, just didn't wanna see you waste away nothing." Julian said wit one of those captivating smiles.

[Celine☆]

Bryce made a small, nervous noise that was more or less reminiscent of a laugh and nodded slightly. "Right... Thank you. I'm sure I would if you hadn't said anything."

[GatbsyLover20]

" So Bryce.... what do you want to do with your life cause on you reach a cretin age you get a choice."

[Celine☆]

Bryce frowned. "That's kind of a massive question," he said, kind of at a loss how to answer. "What do you mean? Do I get a choice?"

[GatbsyLover20]

" Well as teens our powers are kinda uncontrollable but when were adults we get signed under a special task force called Team X that performs duties all over the world."

[Celine☆]

Bryce stared at him. "Really? I didn't... Know that..." He grew very still. "What kind of tasks? Why is it called Team X?" Immediately he had more questions than he had time to ask.

[GatbsyLover20]

"More humanitarian things,, helping control natural disatres, helping find and locate other metas, become special soldiers in wars things like that... and as for the name I honestly don't know."

[Celine☆]

"Oh." That made perfect sense. Bryce shrugged slowly as his dinner arrived. "I don't know what I would be good at. I've never really... Found anything I'm good at." It was true. Bryce's parents had done nothing but expected him to inherit the company his father owned. They hadn't allowed him to go to career expos, science fairs; anything that wasn't how to manage or conduct a buisness.

[GatbsyLover20]

" Well I'm sure you'll find out by 21... it's funny though Equinox guys are in it for life." Julian said looking over at the Equinox table.

[Celine☆]

Bryce followed his line of gaze and looked at the Equinox table. "They are?" He said quietly, not so much a question as an echo. "Huh..." He paused and looked back at his plate. "So what's your story Julian?"

[GatbsyLover20]

" What do you mean." Julian asked quietly as his fork began to play with a leftover piece of rib meat on his plate."

[Celine☆]

"What was your life before all... This?" Bryce waved vaguely at their surroundings. "I mean, if you want to talk about it. You don't have to..."

[GatbsyLover20]

Julian's facial experrison immediately darkened as he checked his watch. " Woah look at the time, I gotta go meet my bro up, so what time you wanna meet together?"

[Celine☆]

Bryce made a mental ahhhhh. So there was a nerve he had hit. "Uh, I... Don't know. My house? Threeish?"

[GatbsyLover20]

"Cool see you then." He said quickly before disappearing in a puff of darkness, his food still unfinished.

[Celine☆]

Bryce frowned at his empty seat and then sighed. Note to self, avoid talking about the past around Julian.

[GatbsyLover20]

Sam was off in the distance chatting up with Caleb as he ordered the spaghetti with a buffalo burger.

[Celine☆]

Resignedly, Bryce made his way over. He still wanted Sam to come... Everything would work out if he did, Bryce was sure of it. "Hello Sam," he smiled at Caleb, not certain if he knew who this was yet.

[GatbsyLover20]

Sam's head turned to Bryce. " HEY! Bryce congrats on being the orange level champion... you were definitely a beast out there."

[Celine☆]

Bryce smiled and ducked his head modestly. "Thank you Sam. I appreciate that." Now that Julian was gone, Bryce had gone back into robot mode.

[GatbsyLover20]

" No problem man..." Sam realized the chair next to him was empty. " Nick's working on an experiment tonight so he'll eat a late lunch so why don't you join us?"

[Celine☆]

Bryce nodded politely. "Yes, thank you. That sounds good." He paused. "I was actually hoping to ask you a similar favor, Sam. I guess upon winning I get to take two friends with me into town, and I was wondering if you would do me the pleasure of tagging along? Julian is coming as well."

[GatbsyLover20]

Sam didn't even hesitate for an answer. " Oh sure man that sounds like a ton of fun."

[Celine☆]

Bryce grinned, but only let it last for a brief moment. "Spectacular. I'm sure it will be... You'll have to show me around. I don't - didn't - live near here before."

[GatbsyLover20]

" Yeah sure... will hit all the sites man... and where ever you wanna go will go."

[Celine☆]

"Thank you, I'd feel much better if I have friends with me." Real friends.

[GatbsyLover20]

" No problem just tell me what time to come and i'll be early." Sam said as his food arrived.

[Celine☆]

"I told Julian around three would be acceptable. Is that alright?" Bryce glanced over at the waiter as he arrived and then departed, wondering if the poor fellows have to take oaths of secrecy upon getting a job at Victory Hill.

[GatbsyLover20]

" No problem i'll be there at 2:45." Sam said simply as he began eating and laughing at some jokes Quinn was telling.

[Celine☆]

"Alright. I'll leave you to it, then. Thank you again Sam." Bryce smiled and got up to leave. "See you tomorrow."
