Diana- rows an eyebrow. Abraham Sapien?
Once Manning told her where to go; she left and began to walk to Abe's room. She walked for a little while and found herself in the presence of the most remarkable set of golden double doors she had ever seen. The marvelous details of the doors and the overall impressiveness of them seemed to beckon her to open them; peeking her curiosity at what maybe inside.
Her eyes widened and her mouth parted slightly next into a large smile at the largeness of the room, it was so classy and impressive, with massive book shelves. It was certainly something she never expected to see in a place like this. The room filled with boxes, decks, tables, chairs, a few books still in their shelves, and a large tank filled with water. Diana continued to walk into the room; as the door closed behind her. She looked over the room seeing that no was there.
Diana- I guess he's not here…
She sighed in addition sitting in a near by chair. She watched the large tank as she rubbed the bugle under her shirt. A sad smile went across her face; as she continued to rub. She strolled slowly to a bookcase and gently outlines the spine of a book with her finger, reading the fine lettering on it. It was a book about all stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe. The creator of one of her favorite poems "The raven"; She was so absorbed with the books that she didn't pay much attention the large tank of water that took up most of the other side of the room. Also not paying much attention to its inhabitant; until she heard sounds of movement come from the tank. Diana looked up in surprise but saw nothing; she row eyebrow. She moved over to the tank; she looked inside just seeing water. She peered closer glass pressing her hands on the glass.
???- So you like to read?
Diana- hm? still having her hands on to glass; she looked around room and saw no one. W-Who said that?
She heard the sound of movement come from the water again. At the same time as a man swam up to her. Diana jumped back in surprise; as the man smiled at her. He was thin with light blue skin; Different dark blue markings covered his body from head to toe. It also seemed that he had gills on both sides of his neck. He tilted his head to the side, amused.
???- I'm sorry; did I scare you?
Diana- Oh, no you didn't scare me; just surprised me a little.
???- Nonetheless I do apologize.
He swam a little closer along with pushing his hands on to the glass wall that separated them. She smiled as she walked back closer to the tank.
Diana- So what's your name?
Abe- Abraham Sapien; Please call me Abe.
Diana- Abraham Sapien…
Abe- It's strange; I never was fond of it.
Diana- Oh! So you're the doctor?
Abe- Yes, and you're the girl who some how fling my large friend in a wall. he laughed
Diana- oh, um… you saw that?
Abe- well I wasn't looking at the time it happened; but I saw the end result. How did you perform this action?
Diana- huh? Oh, you mean move the red guy?
Abe- Yes…
Diana- well, I'm still new with my powers; but I think it's call Telepathy or something like that. The only things I can do so far are read minds and moving things with my mind.
Abe- hm.. Telepathy… I'm a kind of the same as you… Oh, I'm sorry I didn't ask what your name was…
Diana- Oh its al right…
Abe- nevertheless; that was rude of me. I am sorry; if you will please give me the honor of knowing your name.
Diana- giggles Diana.
Abe- Well, I'm very pleased to meet you; Diana.
Diana- laughs softly thank you; it nice to meet someone so polite here.
Abe- why; thank you.
Abe swam a little away from the glass and bent forward in a bow. Diana laughed again in addition she grabbed the sides of her large shirt and kneed down in a curtsy. He swam back closer to the glass. They looked and smiled at each other for second then laughed.
Diana- smiles so you're like me?
Abe- in a way; Yes…
Diana- if you don't mind me asking; what can you do?
Abe- smiles back at her I don't mind at all; well I can do lots of different things. Let's see I am an amphibian which means I can survive underwater. I'm an excellent gun marksman, and I'm formidable in hand-to-hand combatant. I'm highly intelligence, telepathy, and psychometric. I also possess superhuman toughness, having survived numerous wounds that would be normally fatal to humans.
Diana- Wow.
Abe- As for my Telepathic abilities they mainly come from my hands.
Diana- your hands?
Abe- indeed; I'm able to sense many different things with my hands. I'm able to not only read a person's mind but also uncover information about the person and what is happening in a room. But with those actions I must have physical contact.
Diana- Neato; what else can your hand do?
Abe- hm… Oh, as I said before am a psychometric which means I can sense what is in a room if I am not able to see it. I can also see the past, present and future; by touching an object that maybe able to show me.
Diana- that's so cool. Must be fun being able to see the future.
Abe- At times it can be. So how good are at using your abilities?
Diana- hm… well I'm not very good at reading minds I can only read 2 minds at most at the same time; I have to be focused and be looking at them to be capable of reading their mind. It's kind of the same with moving and lift things. I don't to focus very much but have to be able to see it.
Abe- Is that how you knocked out those people. They got to close and you tossed them away.
Diana- yeah, I lost my glasses when I was kidnapped. So it's hard for me to see thing if they are to far away.
Abe- So you need to see to using your powers?
Diana- yes; that how those men were able to get me so easily. They blindfolded.
Abe- I'm sounds frightening.
Diana- it was; I'm also able to use that part of my powers to do other things. But it's rather hard to explain. I'll have to show you some time.
Abe- Alright; Well now that you're here let's get started with your examination.
