A heart attack sounds good about now.

"That's the most ridiculous bullshit I've ever heard." At least with Matthew, it was a senior agent. He knew what her power was and had accepted the effects it would have on him. This girl didn't.


The strawberry is still in her bare hand - how's it doing?

The strawberry is mush!

Fiona would drop the flesh and blink at Rebecca. She'd lean in close, almost too close. Her face inches from Rebecca's. She'd speak in a quiet tone.

"Breathe."

Rebecca does the exact opposite of breathing! The strawberry drops from her hand as she steps to the side, too close to the edge to stay in one place.

"Who the hell are you?" Her voice hardens, the similarity to her training session not lost on her. Which meant the girl had some form of psychic ability.

Goddammit, not another one.

"A friend."

She peels another strip of flesh from her arm. It had to be painful.

It felt like several hands were clawing at her from inside her own throat. Her eyes narrowed as she reached out and grabbed at Fiona's wrist her gloved hand. By no means ambidextrous, it's not a strong hold.

"Stop it."

She did stop it as she blinked at Rebecca.

"Why?"

Rebecca drops her wrist like she's burning herself by letting it stay any longer.

"You make absolutely no sense." She picks up an orange, for no other reason than to give her something to do with her hands. And avoid the question.

The orange rots whenever it touches her skin!

"Not everything has to."

She went back to picking at her skin.

Rebecca stares at the orange while it's in her bare hand and scowls at it. She doesn't answer the strange girl, but turns her attention back to the peeling skin.

"You should get it looked at." Her voice is flatter than a board. "You don't want it infected." Now would be a perfect time to have utter control of her power, so of course she doesn't.

"You won't today. That part comes later."

She beams, obviously proud of something.

To find a way to get this girl to go away, or to keep working. Her head's already hurting, but she doesn't want to stop. There's too much work to do.

"Either you leave, or you stay away from me. No touching."

"I already did the touching."

Did she miss it?

"No more touching," she corrects irritably as she grabs for another melon.

The melon rots!

And Fiona watches in silence. Her eyes fixated on the melon as it rotted away. It's juices oozing out much like her own arm was oozing with pus.

Rebecca takes a deep breath, staring at the arm as her stomach churns. She swallows against the fact that she's affected someone else with her power without meaning to, and apparently the fact that the roof isn't all that private.

She focuses on what she knew of the melon when she touched it. It's color, scent, how it felt. How she wanted to peel back the rot, to go back to the stage of its cycle just before she touched it.

Between the continued audience and obsession with fruit, she can feel her frustration slipping in along with her scowl.

"Stupid fruit," she mutters. "If I'm going to be stuck with this power the rest of my life, then I damn well better have the right to decide what goes to the compost heap and what doesn't!"

"Fruit is why you have a problem."

She said absently picking at her skin.

She stares.

"What?"

Guess who grabs a carrot next.

"You should apologize."

She started poking her oozing flesh.

Rebecca looks down at the fruit, then back at the girl. "You're kidding."
