Old Habits. New Home.

Steven was shocked when Victor revealed that he could stop time, and went on to prove the fact after admitting to searching them and looking at their ID. Steven supposed that the man could be lying and instead could read mind or something, but that didn't explain the appearing book. Though Victor did explain that name he had put on note wasn't actually his, but it was easy to see that he just taken part of his surname for it. Steven didn't know if he should be as displeased as Elizabeth was. The guy had helped him after all, so Steven let the intrustion slide without comment seeing as the girl had done so.

"So he was staring at me, but you were at him then." Steven said in respone to Elizabeth explination about how she had know Victor had given him the book. Some decent deductive reason, that was on the border of jumping to conclusion. Either way it had seemed she was right, and that Victor saw fit to ask her if she knew any detectives. "Worried she might report you for invasion of privacy?" Steven said with mirth to his tone to make it clear the comment wasn't serious, but instead in jest.

"Well a pleasure to meet you both. As strange as it all is to me." Steven gave a nod to the pair of them. His words did make it clear, that he was as new as they both had already realised. Being able to stop time sounded like a much better power then his own.

Steven had been a little shocked by the defensive tone his comments made made Elizabeth reply with a first. Only to be further suprised, when Victor's logical deduction about her having interacted with those of a detective mind set proved true, when Elizabeth explain she used to work alongside her father with the FBI. He was pretty amazed by that, as she was here in the school which must have ment she was only slightly older or younger then himself. Not really at an age to be working with the FBI even with the relation.

Steven let that topic slide though, as she mentioned her father's death and didn't want to be insensative and push on the topic. Instead focusing on the question she asked him. "Cyro and Pyrokinesis, and their logical combined applications." He anwsered not seeing a reason to refuse to anwser as Victor had already revealed his, and he supposed if one of them had, the other doing so was fair at least. "Yourself?" He asked in return.

Steven gave Victor a small nod in return to his comment about Steven's powers. While no pun had been intended he couldn't help the smallest smile forming on his lips in amusement at the comment. The powers he had did lend themselves towards simple but light hearted word play. Steven was simply too hot to handle, too cold to hold. He though to himself, not exactly remebering where he had that line before but thinking it was likely a song he had heard.

Steven thoughs of word play were ended quickly as Elizabeth started to explain her powers. Making Steven feel a fraction of jealousy. His power did effect his emotion when used, and he could exploit that to an extent but no one would think to call it control over them more aggravating or supressing them. He couldn't help but wonder how exactly it would have worked. If she faced something distressing would she insticntively control it, or did she have to have enough motiviation to activate the power in order to do so. It was an incredibly interesting power to think about, which made her photograpthic memory sound mundane in comparison.

Steven stayed silent though, as she after explaining ask Victor a direct question and Steven wasn't the sort to speak over someone while they tried to awnser.
