The look Pavel gives Peter makes the Russian cringe. So much rage. Understandable, but still. Peter gets up. "I'll leave you for now, while I go take a shower, Da. I need to freshen up." As Peter walks off, he hears Pavel kicking the box. In his ensuite he takes off his work-out clothes and turns on the shower. As the cooling water hits his body he feels himself tap into his mutant power as he hits the wall and punches a hole right through it. "Crap." He bends down and looks through the hole and sees the box with the boy in it and he is looking over the edge and the ruckus. "Excuse me."
Pavel was done kicking the box and was climbing out of it and as he reaches the edge he hears a loud noise and sees an iron fist stick though the wall. As it retreats he sees Peter's face, made of shining metal look through it. The moment he apologises Pavel can't help but laugh. Losing his grip and dropping back to the bottom of the box.
Peter quickly finishes his shower and towels off. Thinking he must have scared the boy half to death he quickly wraps the towel around his waist and runs out to the box, finding the boy rolling with laughter still. "That was so cool." Pavel says wiping some tears from his eyes. "If I could do something like that, my mom would never left me here." Peter grins and slowly lowers his hand into the box, the boy doesn't run away, but climbs on. Almost fearless. "Unfortunately, Professor X, makes us pay for our own accident." He almost forgot how good it feels to talk in his native language. He walks to his desk and sets the boy down, before sitting in the chair and leaning forward resting his head on folded arms to not look too big.
"So, this happens a lot to you?" Pavel asks and Peter nods. "All the time. It is why I'm here, still learning to control my powers. It is what this school is all about." Pavel shrugs, "Yes, but at least your powers can be usefull. Mine are just... useless" Peter grins, "Any power can be usefull. It is just how you use them." Peter leans back. "So, do you have powers except being small?" Pavel shrugs. "Well, nothing usefull, to others I mean." Peter nods, "But usefull to you?" Pavel nods, "my first power is that normal sized humans can hear my voice if I want them.". Peter nods, "Like psychic powers?" Pavel shrugs, "I don't now what that is, but you can hear me. and then there's another thing." Pavel pauzes . "Can you show me?" Peter asks. "Only if you help." Pavel says. Peter nods, "Anything." Pavel hesitates for a second. "can you grab me, please." Peter blinks, but leans forward and takes Pavel in his hand "Like this?" Pavel nods "Now... Squeeze me as hard as you can." Peter flinches, "Did you say?" Pavel nods. Slowly Peter closes his fist around Pavel and hesitates a second the moment he feels the little boy's body, but before thinking too much he just squeezes. For a second there is resistance, but than the boys body gives in and slowly but steadily he squeezes harder and harder tightening his grip as much as he can, before opening his hand.
As he finally opens his hand he looks and sees something he only can describe as goo on his palm. "This is my second power." he hears the goo say and slowly it starts to reform into the little boy, "I just can't control it, however it has been usefull to keep me alive." Peter nods, "But does it hurt?" Only at the beginning, then my body gives in. However I still can see, hear, smell, feel and taste. I just can't move untill i reform, so it's really not that usefull." Peter laughs, "Sure it is If I can't break down a door you can just slide under it." Pavel sighs, "But I couldn't get it open, even from the otherside. I can't stretch out like mister fantastic, I can just kinda be squished into goo and reform. I tried it so many times when someone of my family accidently stepped or sat on me. But I can't I just had to wait till either they would find me, or I had enough space to reform.It got easier when I learned I could talk to people too in my Gooey form, but that only works when I'm touching their skin for some reason." Peer nods, "I see, maybe you just need some more training. If anyone can help it is the professor." Peter pauzes, "Oh, that's right, I should tae you to him immediatly." Pavel grins. "Maybe you should get dressed first."
