Lamark comes awake with a start, sitting bolt upright and blinking at the low light barely visible through the curtain. For a few moments, he sits completely still, only the eyes are moving. Finally, he looks down at the small wet spot on his covers, just over his groin. An embarrassed groan escapes his lips, then he looks next to his bed and just stares and stares for an entire minute. Next to his bed, perfectly lined up with it, is a copy of his own bed, entirely made up of the yellowish, blue-streaked metal he conjures with his ability; only, until now, he's only ever done objects that can fit into his hand. His gaze wanders down his own arm and settles on the hand resting on the extra bed in his room. Blinking once again and letting his gaze go back to the evidence of a wet dream, he removes his hand from the copy of the bed...With a loud pop and a flash that for one shining moment illuminates his entire room, obliterating all shadows, the bed disintegrates and vanishes. Even before the dust that was the bed has completely vanished, Lamark slumps out of bed, golden horns retracting into his once more human features.
Papa Brand is pacing back and forth in Lamark's suddenly very well lit room, while two Fetchers and a plump woman in a lab coat are moving the limp form of Lamark unto a gurney and strapping him in. "Yessir. No, we still don't know why 13-2 has lapsed into a coma. No, sir. We don't have cameras in their rooms. Not since 8-12... Yes, sir. We'll be transferring him to the Special Ward, at least until he recovers and possibly further on. This could be an indicator of emergence," Papa Brand is speaking into a mobile phone. "We're taking him down, now," Papa Brand merely states to the Fetchers and the woman in the lab coat, as he ends the call on the phone. A group of the other kids watch from the cafeteria area how the gurney with the strapped in Lamark is carried by two Fetchers to the lift. Papa Brand and the woman in lab coat enter as well. "Shit. They took him," one of the kids remarks as the lift doors close.
