Leona listened carefully to what Elli was telling her. So he had an ability also. Leona had now met quite a few people like her with abilities, it would seem there were rather quite a lot. Was that a good thing or a bad thing? She was yet to work that one out. However Leona liked to think it was a good thing.
"You absorb air?" she repeated what he said to her, taking this in. That sounded like it could be a very dangerous ability Leona thought to herself. It would be one of those abilities you'd have to make sure you never got yourself angry. Then it struck her if his ability has been in action earlier when he'd been running away from that shop.
"I imagine that it can get very dangerous? This ability of yours?" Leona asked him, she didn't mean to be so blunt with it, but she was interested and wanted to know if she had to be careful around him or not.

“It is.” Elli replied, “When I panic and get scared it just happens.” He was quiet for a couple of second, thinking. “I’m not sure how much I can absorb though.” He said, in truth he had never really tried, it would always seem too dangerous.
“What about your ability then?” He asked. “Can you control it, or are you like me?” It was quite a complicated question, since Elli knew he could control his power when he wanted to use it, he just needed practise to get it completely under control.

"It must be really awful for you" Leona said softly, she couldn't being to imagine what it must be like for him to have such a powerful ability which could cause serious damage. Not specifically for himself, but for those around him.
"So you have no control over it all then? It just happens when you're in a panic or scared? That is quite frightening" she didn't mean to sound bad by saying that, but it was sort of frightening to know that you could be with someone who was in a panic and then suddenly find it difficult to breathe.
"At first I couldn't control it and I could hear everyones thoughts, but now I am able to hear what I want to hear, but the ability has a great power, lots of new avenues I'm just learning about now, the older I get" she explained with a soft smile, and took a sip of her drink and ate some of her fries.

Elli smiled slightly. “I do have some control over it.” He said quietly. “Just not as much as I really want to have.” He was still in a slight shock over discovering someone else with an ability.
“It’s the reason I ran away.” He said, not completely realising what he had said until afterward. He hadn’t been thinking properly, and really hadn’t wanted anyone to find out about it.

"Oh, well it's good you have some control, having some control is definitely a lot better than having no control" Leona said softly to him with a smile.
"Have you ever thought about getting help to control it?" Leona asked thinking of the school she hadn't really been to very often herself. But it was a good place to go for people with abilities when they were young.
Then he said what she hadn't expected to hear, that his ability was the reason he ran away. She blinked a few times before speaking. "Oh, I thought you said you moved here? So you're here alone, by yourself, with no family?" she asked all worried about him now.

“My family are around somewhere.” Elli replied. “I left a few days ago after what I did.” He paused, wondering if he should tell Leona about it. “It was an accident, I got scared, and then.” A small tear seemed to from in his eye. “I killed someone with my ability, I didn’t mean to I just did.”
He sat where he was, thinking deeply. “It’s why I need to get help, to stop something like it ever happening again.” It was all he wanted now, to find out why he could do what he did, and how he could control it properly.

"I see, but that's so sad, someone as young as you shouldn't be without their family" Leona went on to explain sadly, but with a sweet smile. Then it was like he suddenly began to trust her and opened up, telling her what he had done. She noticed the tear, but wouldn't say anything, as it would only make him worse and she didn't want that.
"Hey" she began softly, "We can all have problems with out ability, it's just unfortunate yours can kill, and you didn't mean it, I'm pretty sure your family would be fine with you if you just explained" Leona prompted gently with her kind smile.
"Well the school I attend" she then coughed a couple of times, "Should attend, is for that very thing, to help young evolved humans with their abilities, you may want to consider joining there" Leona explained softly as she finished her fries and downed the rest of her drink.

“It’s not their problem.” Elli mumbled quietly. It shouldn’t be their concern to worry about something he could do. He didn’t even think that they would believe him if he did tell them what he could do, it would be too complicated for them to ever understand.
“I just need help.” He said, a glint of determination in his eye. “If I could control it then maybe.” He paused,”Maybe I need help with it.” It was all he really wanted now, to gain control of what he could and help people.

"You might not think it's their problem, but you're their son, you're family, I would have thought familiy always stick together" Leona said kindly, however, she wasn't completely naiive, she knew there were a lot of families out there who weren't close and it was rather sad when you thought about it.
"Well you certainly seem determined enough to get help with your power, so why don't you come to the school with me tomorrow. It's only for three days a week, one day of proper studies and two days of learning and controlling your ability, the school also has dorms and flights are put on for anybody out of State" Leona explained with a warm smile.
If he was really serious about getting help with his ability, then he would think about attending the school thought Leona, it might not be everybody's idea of fun, but it was certainly the best place for someone like Elli she thought.

Elli started to smile. “Could I?” He asked, this seemed like all he had ever wanted since discovering his power. Somewhere he could go, to discover how to use his ability. He was sure it was somewhere he should go.
“Where is this school then?” He asked, curious about it now, it was now occurring to him that this meant he could meet others like himself, with abilities, and he felt that would be a good thing, it would let him at least know he couldn’t be completely alone.

"Yeah, of course you could, it will be a good thing for you" Leona said with a warm smile. She was glad she had mentioned the school now, it would sem it would help Elli and that's all Leona had wanted to do from the moment she saw him running out of that shop scared.
"It's based in the East Area, near New York, which is why flights are put on for students who don't live in the right State and need transport to get there, and of course, it's also why there are dorms there, for kids who stay out of State to sleep for the two nights" Leona explained with a smile.
"You can make your way to my house tomorrow if you like, and get the flight with me" Leona offered with a warm smile. After all if he'd run away from home, that must mean surely that he was not staying anywhere.

Elli smiled happily. “Yeah, OK.” He said, much happier now that he knew what he was doing. He knew it must be the right thing to, since it seemed to be exactly what he needed. He was going to enjoy learning about his power, and how he should use it properly.
He thought about where he was going exactly, across the country. It felt like it should be a long way away, and it probably was really, since he had never really got out of California at all. To him it was just going to be somewhere new to go, and explore.

Leona was happy he had agreed to meet at her house to go the school the next day. She hadn't been to the school herself for a few days, so it would do her some good as well. The school wasn't mandatory, but it certainly helped if you attended.
"That's good" Leona said, as she wrote down her address on a piece of paper and also her cell phone number and handed the piece of paper over to him with a smile.
"That has my address and cell phone number, you can call me any time and I'll see you tomorrow at the school I guess, it was nice to meet you Elli" Leona said softly, as she stood up to take her leave.
"Be careful out there, okay?" she added with a smile, before she left the cafe, leaving Elli behind.

Elli watched her leave, thinking about what he was planning now. He liked the fact that he could get help, and would be able to learn about his ability.
He stood up, thinking about what he should do for the rest of the day. There wouldn’t be much time for him to do much really, and he should probably just find somewhere to sleep. Deciding on that he began to walk back into the street.
