Callum walked through the narrow backstreets of Dublin. He had been walking for a week now from The Corporation. He was tired and hungry, but most of all he was lonely. He wanted to meet someone, anyone.

Rose quickly walked down the streets of Dublin, trying to get away from something she just did or the cops that were looking for her. Even though it was an accident. She had her hood up and her hands on her pockets, her eyes darting along the sidewalk she walked on. She was just trying to get back to her apartment building, to lie low until everything calmed down. When she turned the corner she crashed into a body, making her stumble back. "Oi!" She shrieked, looking up at the person she crashed into.

Callum looked up at the person who has smashed into him. 'Don't you look where your going?' Callum said spitefully. At that point Callum looked up at the figure. He saw a girl lying on the ground. She had a nasty cut on her wrist. A boom of thunder echoed through O'Connell street. The rain started and the cold grey cobbles were momentarily splashed by Crimson blood from the mystery girl. 'I am so sorry, let me help you." Callum spluttered.

Rose winced as she looked down at her badly cut wrist, slowly running her finger over it slowly. "No, sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." She hissed, as she looked at her wrist. When she heard the thunder she gulped, and she looked around. When it started to rain, she held her hand up, palm up. It made the rain go around her instead of on her. That's when she heard him, her eyes widened, "Oh, no. I am good, thank you." She said quickly before she started to get up. The rain still going around her.

Callum's heart jumped a beat. Could have really found another like him. He struggles in his mind between asking her or running. With a rush of adrenaline he reached out with his hand to her wrist and focused. A stream of green gas coursed from his hand enveloping her wrist. The gas then started to heal the cut. 'Hello', Callum said gingerly.

Rose was about to turn and run when she felt his hand around her wrist, making her wrist. She slowly turned to look at him, then looked down at her wrist as she saw the gas surround her wrist. Her eyes widen in shock and excitement. Just because she could have bumped into someone liked her, someone she thought wasn't out there. Slowly she waved her hand over him to stop the water from landing on him. "Hello. My name is Rose." She said, holding out her hand.

'Mine's Callum', he said. He could obviously could see that she could control water. The possibilities of what they could do together we're endless he thought. 'So, I see you have powers.'

"Nice to meet you Callum." She said as she stuffed her hands back in her pockets, but the water still didn't touch them. "Yes, I do and I see you have some too. Let's go back to my apartment, we can eat something and talk about this more." That was said before she started past him. It still seemed like she was in a bubble of some sort.

Callum started to follow Rose when a thought occurred to him. 'Hey, could we make a detour to St Stephan's Green park because I am starving and I want to show you something?'

Rose nodded slowly and looked back at him, "Sure, we can stop there. Lead the way." She said, stepping back so he could lead the way to the park.

The trek to the park took only 10 minutes. When they got there Callum led the way to a secluded spot. Callum pointed to a tree and said to Rose,"Watch this.' Callum then touched the trunk of the tree and apples started to grow from the tree. The grass around the tree also started to grow and flowers
Sprouted. Callum grabbed one of the the apples and bit into it. 'Tasty', Callum grinned.

When they got to the park, she walked with him to the secluded spot. Rose walked over to the tree with him and watched what he did. Her eyes widen and she smiled brightly, "So, you have more like earth powers?" She asked as she squatted down to the flowers. Then she held her hand out and misted the flowers, making them grow a little more. "I never seen you aground town." She said, glancing up at him.

Callum responded, 'Well, I like to stay around parks and nature in general. It makes me feel safer being around a place where my powers are strongest.' After a short pause, 'So, onwards to your apartment.'

While he talked, Rose stood up straight and looked around the garden. Then at him with a smile, "I sometimes like going to places with a lot of water, like a pool or something but it is just too public for me to do anything. People will think I am a freak of nature." She said as she started off towards her apartment. "But I do like to mess around with people in a way." There was a small laugh after that.

'Remind me not to get on our bad side.' Callum joked. The sky started to clear and the sun shined over the tree and gave it a magical quality. 'How far is it to your apartment.'

"My apartment is about 10 minutes away from here, I was on my way back when I bumped into you." She said as she walked with him, slowly unzipping her hoodie and wrapping it around her waist. "It's pretty amazing that I ran into someone that can do what I do.." She said with a smile, looking around the park.

Ceilibell peeked out from an awning where she'd taken shelter from the rain. She stuck her hand out, just to be sure, before stepping out completely with a wide grin on her face. Great, most people would've left the park because of the rain and she could have it all to herself. She made her way into the park.

She waited until she thought no one else was around and then started spinning her finger, like a kid might do at a pool to make a little whirlpool. A tiny tornado formed above her finger and she giggled. Ceilibell noticed a leaf falling nearby and immediately spun her finger under it instead, watching the wind play with the leaf.

(Hm. This seems interesting, maybe you could admit one of my characters?)

As Rose walked with Callum, she froze by a near by tree when she heard a giggle near by. She didn't think anyone would be in the park, especially after the thunder storm just happened. That's why she couldn't help but look at where the giggle was coming from, and her eyes instantly widened at the sight of Ceilibell and the way the leaf swirled in the column of air.

So, she couldn't help but step out from the tree. "You can control air? You have a power too?" She asked, surprised.

Callum had started to follow Rose when he also heard the giggle. He turned quick as a flash and disappeared. His powers also allowing camouflage.
It was only a girl. A girl who could control air! Then Rose talked to here. Callum was shocked that he had not only met one person like him, but two on the same day by chance
