Let me just put in a power section for the temps then….
school
alright
Wait oh my god I'm so confused, you had the template
Should we just introduce the powers as we go?
school
ah shoot i forgot the powers! why don't you go ahead and do what you wish, edit the template to include powers for alexis or just introduce his powers as you go, but i'm just going to go ahead and keep stella's powers hidden for now and we'll see what they are! :)
Perfect!
school
alright, cool!
Alexis leaped down from the roof onto the dumpster, landing silently in the deserted alleyway. With a sigh and a smile he reached into his pocket, falling into a lean against the brick wall.
He pulled out a stolen candy bar, retreating further into his tattered sweatshirt.

Stella sat in her cell, her back facing the view of anyone who approached the cell. Her blue eyes flashed with anger, it wasn't fair, she shouldn't have to be in here.
Muching thoughtfully, Alexis sauntered out into the open road, scanning the heaving crowds for a victim. Open bags, accessible pockets, distracted people… They were all over. He wandered out of the shadows, looking aimless.

Stella knows every inch of the building her cage rests in by heart. She should know, she's explored it all, before being put back in her cage. She snarls, like a wild animal, but only to herself. The entrance outlooks the streets in the city, the front dark and gloomy, and no one has entered nor exited the building in ages. Good thing she only needs a meal a day. Hah, she laughs to herself quietly. She used to eat three meals a day like a normal human being, then they locked her away with only a meal a day. She's come to expect the daily salad and bottled water. Oh, that's right, it comes from the ceiling. Stella glances up at the ceiling, knowing there's no escape out of here. There is only one living soul in here, and that would be her. The dark hallway leading to her cage is lit up by a single light on the ceiling, with a meshed covering. I don't need anyone anyways, she thinks to herself bitterly.
(Oh shoot I thought I'd answered sorry)
His gaze roamed the people for a victim, until he spotted a young woman chattering away on the phone who's bag swung vulnerably from her shoulder. Head down, he engaged into the flow of people, weaving his way towards her.
She was approaching an alley. Perfect. He sped up until he was two feet from her, and waited for her to be crossing right in front of the alley's opening.
Then she was there. He broke into a run straight for the alley, his hand flashing out to Yank the bag off of her shoulder and before she could even turm around he was running into the shadows, praying to whatever higher power existed that the end of this wouldn't be a dead end.
school
(Ah that's fine)
Come find me, she could ask them. But it would be worthless anyways, no-one comes here anyway. She sighs, running a hand through her messy hair. Stella's head snaps up at the sudden sound of her daily meal falling onto the ground. She shakes her head, not hungry. Resting her head on her knees, bored, she stilled as she listened to the chatter of those outside her building, perhaps behind it. "…burn Lily to the ground, and for once, suffer the pain she dishes out…" she heard coming from a girl, and a laugh returned from a guy. People nowadays, they just take it, they take freedom for granted, they're not being locked up in a cage though…
The sound of footsteps running after him were quick to come, but he was faster and more agile. He reached a dead end and skidded to a stop, spotting a fire escape just as the sound of footsteps rounded the previous corner and sounded awfully close. He swung himself up and over just as the police man ran in to the dead end, stopping and casting a puzzled look around.
school
"Come find me," she voiced aloud, then mentally scolded herself. Who are you kidding Stel? You don't need anyone, only me and yourself, she envisioned herself in a sort of spirit form talking to her real body. Stella snorted, but then suddenly picked up someone nearby. They weren't talking but they were there. She just knew it. Oh, who was she kidding, it was probably the light footsteps she barely picked up, as there wasn't much to do at all. She could eat, but she wasn't hungry. Maybe she could store it and stockpile salad and water. Maybe, just maybe…
Breathing out a relieved laugh, Alexis waited for the police man to leave before pulling the stolen bag onto his lap and rummaging through it. The woman had a full set of make up, a notebook, a granola bar, a bottle of water, some pens, her wallet, a scarf, and a script. He curiously rifled through the script, realizing she'd been on her way to an audition of some sort.
He ignored the twinge of guilt and pulled the bar, the water, the wallet and the scarf out of the bag. The wallet contained a credit card, a debit card, a library card, an Oyster card, a couple photos and 45 pounds in cash. He took the cash and the Oyster card before putting the wallet back in the bag and throwing it over the railing back down into the alley. Maybe they'd come back and find it.
He climbed higher on the fire escape until he got to the roof, and taking a running start he leaped off and jumped onto the next one. He was standing on a tall, secure looking concrete building, which he'd never seen before. He started scaling the windows down to the street.
school
"Hello?" she called out, wondering if anyone could hear her, then recoiled in disgust at her childish actions. As a child, she had called out many, many times "Can anyone hear me?" and gotten no response. She knew that no-one would hear her, yet she couldn't help herself.
He was curiously doing the rounds of the outside of the concrete building when the faintest wisp of a voice echoed out to him. He frowned, ducking towards the windows to see if anyone was there.
No one. "Hello?" he answered.
school
Stella jumped back, a little surprised. A faint voice called out, "Hello?" Reverting back to a childish state, and not only feeling like one, but acting like one as well, or at least how she acted when she was a child. "Please, I just want to get out of here," she begged. Her voice was more mature now though.
Alexis froze, listening intently. His face paled and he started running his hands up and down the walls of the building, searching for a weaker spot that he could freeze out. "Miss, are you underground?"
school
Stella drew back from the walls of the building she had been leaning against. "Underground?" she repeated. "How would I know? I…" she couldn't finish her sentence. What she'd started to say was that she'd been under since a child, but her throat unexpectedly closed up.
The sound was cut off. Cursing under his breath, Alexis lay a hand on the softest part of the wall he could find. Slowly icy cracks spread from his hand and in a splintering web along the wall.
A small part of the wall crumbled, just big enough for him to crawl through.
school
The echoing of the wall crumbling startled Stella, and she let out a little yelp. "Hello? Who's there?" she called out, just on the borderline between scared and, well, not scared.
He did so, following the girl's voice. "Keep talking, Miss! I'll follow your voice!" He found himself standing in a LED-lit stone corridor, branching off in all directions. "This place is a damn maze," he mumbled.
school
"Who's there?" she called out again. It'd been so long since she'd heard another's voice that she wasn't sure she could trust herself to determine the gender of the person who walked the halls of the building. She thought it might be a male, but she wasn't sure.
"My name's Alexis," he called, turning left to follow her voice.
