rin looked around the room and sighed. she tried not to fucus too hard on it and eventually got a spark. she smiled exitedly and it went away. she frowned and breathed out loudly. she tried again, harder this time and got a full out spray of heat with no color to it. "UGH! what am i supposed to be doing anyways!?" she frowned trying again and lighting a small fire on the tips of her fingers.

"Rin, maybe you have to get all fired up, no pun intended there...." Ink suggested as she made more sparks of electricity.

rin glanced over at her and nodded. "fired up, huh?" her heart felt like it had a new life of its own and she smiled tapping into it. suddenly, a large blast of flames burst from her hands. the fire stayed in the room for about thirty seconds and then vanished. she fell back from the shock and smiled over to her. "fired up enough for you?" she smiled wide, standing up.

Ink grinned and gave Rin a thumbs up,"That's the way to do it!"

rin smiled and nodded at her, not looking away. she stood stronger this time and tried a few more times, each time more succesful than the last. she finally sa down where she stood. "tired..." she smiled proud of herself.

Ink tried to concentrate but only sparks came out of her hands,"Hmmm....." She kept trying at it, however.

Zen gave a small smile and closed his eyes and held up his hands, focusing on 10 small black orbs when he opened his eyes he saw them. He twiched his fingures and they shot at the other orphans clinging to there eyes, His smile got bigger "Send me running" he mumbled to himself

Fred looked around "Who's with me?" he asked

El smiled, the orphans were progressing faster then he thought "Do we have our teams yet?" he asked

Ink flicked at the orb,"Black thing?" She turned to El,"I'm with Zen," She stated as she picked up her scythe.

"Damn, i knew it would not stick to you" he mumbled "Yeah i guess Ink and I, we need one more right?"

Ink made a ring of light and placed it above her head,"Look I'm an angel!" She joked, laughing.

Zen grumbled and looked at the ground My power must suck compared to the others, they can all beat me he crossed his arms. Darkness started to creep out of the ring and leaking to the ground like a fog.

Ink looked over to Zen, she felt bad for him and put a hand on his shoulder,"Oi, you're not going to be able to see what you can do with darkness unless you try!" She grinned,"I wanna see you control shadows and make our enemies fear you!"
Ink sighed,"In truth I'm a bit envious of you, but I'll cope with what I have."

Zen looked up, then down, "damn,am i that readable or can you just read minds?" he asked

Ink laughed,"You're just that readable." She replied and tried to make lightning again.
"I just need the right combination!" She muttered while sparks flew from her fingers.

Zen felt the urge to do somethign he has not done in a long time and he acted on it he hugged Ink "thanks" he muttered in her ear

Ink blinked in shock, then she hugged back,"No prob!" She replied, still in a daze.

Sam looked on as the other's played around with their powers. He was jealous that their elements were able to be reached so easily. Earth could only be reached outside, so that meant he was useless if he was indoors. Hearing Melrose, Sam turned and nodded ",I don't see what else I can be other than Earth." He took a half angry look at everyone who were flaunting their powers and control over them. "Tellyah," he said ",Just because Ink's element is 'light' doesn't mean she has control over 'light'ning, I think that one is either in Rin's control because lightening is a lot like a compressed form of fire. Or, it belongs to someone who has electricity." Pointing at Melrose and himself, Sam asked "Mister El, can me and Melrose go outside to practice? Y'know, me being earth and all." He was surprised to see Zen hugging Ink but it made him grin for some reason. "Are we going to be live together for a while?" Sam inwardly added the word 'permanently'. He was a bit weary of his life being so unsure; this new goal of finding 'artifacts' looked fun and his teammates didn't look half bad either.

Tellyah looked over at Sam and teased "What? Don't you want to live with all of us?" she laughed. Then she thought Well, isn't he a smartass. Just because he went to school. Tellyah stood and turned to Master El. " I'll sit out. I'm not fond of small groups anyway. I agree with Sam." inwardly she cursed herself. "We should go outside."

"We will setp out into the garden when we have both teams formed, Now Rin where are you going?" el ask calmly tho getting a little annyoid with the orphans but did not why.

Tellyah stood and looked at the old man. "Really? You're going to play it that way? Fine." Tellyah formed her whip, getting angry and cracked it towards Master El. " I told you that I'm going to sit out and it is what I will do. I've never enjoyed listening to management. And I don't take kindly to people who want to break up a strong groups. Kind of Socialist if you ask me." she lashed her whip around another glass and flung it against the wall, where it shattered. Her breathing got heavier as she looked at the man, anger boiling in her eyes. Suddenly the water in the pitchers on the table started to rapidly boil, filling the room with steam. Tellyah could feel her skin absorbing the water, and she gasped dropping her whip and falling to the floor.

El stayed calm "We will start but we need small groups to start now please join on Tell"

Sam was slightly annoyed at Tellyah's outburst. The girl was being too much of a dramaqueen; if he had given an outburst like that everytime some parents picked out a kid that wasn't him, then the orphanage would probably throw him out. They had labeled him as a lost cause already. He inched towards the door on the other end of the room. That was the door that he didn't enter in;it might be the one that lead to the outside. Reaching out, Sam pulled Melrose along too. "The groups are pretty much settled, Mister-uh, Master El" he corrected himself. "Me, Melrose. Zen and Ink. Rin and Tellyah." Pointing to each person as he spoke out their names. Ink was still embraced by Zen so that seemed pretty much decided. "I think we're ready to go."

Tellyah's head spun, and for a moment she didn't know where she was. She thought she heard laughter and smiled. "Aaron, stop laughing at me." her boyfriend from home. She opened her eyes and everything came flooding ((again, no pun intended)) back. "Ouch." she sat up and touched her head then scoffed. "I'm bleeding." She looked at Sam, who had been talking. "What did you say?" she asked still confused.

Anna looked up at fred as she asked who should be with him. Before she could stop herself she had stepped forward and volinteered herself.
"Ill go with you!" She said beofr realizing what she did, and blushed wildly. "I-I mean y-you and I were sapose to be partners in the first place right!?" She asked still blushing deeply.

"Well, I was hoping for two groups of three not three groups of two but this will have to do, odd opposites btu this will be fun" El smiled


Zen smiled "This is fine with me"
