Lena had just finished cleaning most of the rooms in the orphanage, those that were used the most. Like the living room where the TV is, the kitchen, their room, their caretaker's room, and the hallway. It took her a few hours of back pain to complete without irritating her wounds any more than they were earlier.
The current time was 5:34 p.m, Alex had just finished his homework and took a snow bath to recharge his physical strength. An ice bath is where a cryokinetic mutant, controls ice and snow, will turn the water in the bathtub into snow or ice depending on how much energy they've lost. Snow is for minor energy lost and minor wounds, they'd rest in the rub for roughly 5-10 minutes. Ice is when they're exhausted or need major healing. When injured, Alex lays in the tub for half an hour to close the wounds.
She, even being a pyrokinetic not a cryokinetic, can also heal her own wounds. Although it takes up more energy than taking a frozen bath. Unlike dipping into a freezing bath, Lena needs to engulf the injury in flames. Other times when it's minor, her body automatically begins sealing the wound, often smoke would sizzle off of the wound to signal the minor healing process. Healing would be much more useful if it didn't need stamina energy. The less energy she has, the weaker her flames are but it's not as if she'd be able to use her flames in the first place. In hear of accidentally harming someone or something, she only uses a small amount of her ability in situations needing it. For instance, to light a candle or start a fire in the fireplace. Only when her emotions become too wild does the dancing death become uncontrollable.
Mutants that have an elemental ability, such as cryokinesis, pyrokinesis, plant manipulation, hydrokinesis, are able to heal themselves with that ability. Hydrokinesis can use water to heal themselves like Percy Jackson, plant manipulators can cover their wounds with vines or some type of plant to heal. Although the process takes up more stamina energy considering how it speeds up the body's restoration process by overworking the cells. Resulting in long hours of sleep that can last from hours to days to over a week depending on the severity.
The sibling's room was a rectangle. The walls were a bland tannish color with dark brown wooden floors. Across the room was a slightly wide window sticking outwards and a built-in bench attached to it with two drawers on the bottom. Thin maroon pillows sat on the wood for cushions, the pillows being one of the only exciting colors in the bland room. On both sides of the window, sits two beds with grey sheets and blankets. The only way to distinguish which bed belongs to either sibling was the pillows. Alex's bed, on the left, had blue pillows while Lena's, on the right, had red pillows. Another addition to the room that really stuck out was the several large dents in the walls and dark stains on the floor.
At the foot of each bed were small dressers with four drawers each. Full of the little clothing the siblings had. Lastly, the bathroom was on Alex's side of the room. There was nothing much in it besides necessities of toothbrushes, toothpaste, hairbrushes, shampoos, and conditioners. Along with some feminine products.
Belly flopping on her bed, groaning into the bland sheets. How come this building is so large and yet only three people live here? Homework suddenly popping up in the 15-year-old's mind. "Oh frick frack snick snack." Jumping off of the bed, grabbing the red backpack, immediately working on the history homework. How did she forget about the unit test tomorrow?!
Alex walked out of the bathroom in his yellow pajamas to see his sister working diligently. Deciding it was best to leave her alone for a bit, he sat on the window's bench and just gazed out at the desert scenery while holding a familiar yellow blanket he's had with him since he can remember. Daydreaming out the window, watching the sunset over the horizon. Gazing through the window was his favorite pass time when there wasn't anything else to do, especially since the activity gave him the option to fantasize about adventure, an escape.
