Seth looked up in awe, his mouth hanging open. He remembering Abel's injuries, he tore his eyes away. "Where is your house?"

"Just right down the road," Dr. Adrian explained, pointing down the lane. This area of Hastings was a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Pulling into the driveway, he turned the engine off and got out of the car, walking around to Abel's side and unbuckling him. "Alright, we're here." Dr. Adrian was a single man with a two bedroom house. Outside it just looked like your modern every-day home, but inside was a different story. |

Seth fumbled with his seat belt, finally unbuckling it. He surveyed his surroundings. There was, what seemed like green string growing from the ground. He put his hand on top of it and jerked back. It's itchy, he thought scratching his palm.

Turning around once he unlocked the front door, Dr. Adrian grinned. "That, Seth, is grass. Its one of the most adaptable plants in the world, and grows almost everywhere. Now come on inside." The interior decor was reminescent of the kinds of houses you see in magazines. Dr. Adrian's personal tastes could be well-identified. He had several beautiful pieces of art hung on the walls, and the walls themselves were bright, inviting colors. All the furniture was neatly arranged as well. |

Seth reluctantly retreated into the house. He followed Dr. Adrian. "So are you going to heal him now?" He asked, concerned about Abel.

"Yes," Dr. Adrian reassured Seth. "I will do whatever I can to help Abel but both of your genetic makeup is different from mine so I'm not quite sure how much I can do." He walked into the living room and placed Abel down on the couch, then retreated into the pantry to receive his medical material. |

Seth nodded solemnly, giving Dr. Adrian space to preform whatever measures necessarily to help Abel.

When Dr. Adrian returned, he returned with a cool, moist rag and sterile bandages. He sat down next to Abel and focused on his worst burns, applying cool, wet compresses to the wounds with the rag for a brief period of time, then bandaging them. "Seth, could you give me a hand?" Dr. Adrian asked. "While I compress the other burns, could you wrap the other ones with the bandages?" |

Seth obliged, carefully dressing each burn without making the bandages too tight or too lose.

Abel sat quietly while Dr. Adrian and Seth dressed his wounds. "Thank you.." he whispered. Dr. Adrian pressed a finger against his lips. "Shh," he replied. "Don't speak. Conserve your energy." Once all of the burns were bandaged, Dr. Adrian elevated his arms by propping them on the arm rest. "You should try to rest now, Abel. Is there anything you need?"
"Uhm..do you have any pillows? Could I have some water?" Abel asked. Dr. Adrian nodded. "Of course. Do you need anything, Seth?" |

Seth shook his head hurriedly. "I'm fine," he said as his stomach growled, making him blush.

Dr. Adrian smiled, and just nodded before leaving the room again. Abel looked in Seth's direction. "Seth, I feel..funny," he admitted, shifting into a more comfortable position. |

Seht frowned, perplexed and worried. "How so?" He asked.

"I don't know if its a good thing or bad, but look," Abel replied, and stretched his arm out a bit. The skin that wasn't bandaged had small hairs growing there, and they stuck right up. Tiny sparks could be seen. |

Seth's eyes widened. "Can you...shock other things?" He asked.
