November 25th, Chicago; Outside the NorthWest System. Noon.

The man came back to her and shifted her out of the sun. She gave him a quick smile as her thanks and blinked slowly, letting her lips wrap around the end of a little bendy straw so she could drink. The juice was warm but she didn't mind it. It tasted nice and clean. She liked it and finished every drop, her tongue almost doltishly lapping up the excess from her lower lip before shutting itself into her mouth.

More people were coming and Ryan was nervous. She felt the need to calm him but didn't know how, her forehead tensing as the strangers approached. Her body had been carefully removed from the vehicle and placed into the wheelchair. With one hand in her lap and the other on the armrest, she stared to the side at the ground as he wheeled her forehead.

She was silent and not very responsive, but she was listening to them as they spoke. Ryan was growing tense and desperate- she didn't understand why. The younger female who looked to be close to Alice's age was getting irate and obviously didn't want them there. She thought they were going to leave and go look at more trees when-

Her eyes widened and the hand laying on the arm rest clenched the padded metal and veins came up to the top of her skin. With her throat closing up, nostrils flaring open as she tried to breath with a tightening chest, her head started to lower forward but she tried to push it up and back so it would not hang. It looked like she might have been seizing but she didn't shake.

Elek had hit a wall and tore through it without even realizing it was there. Information flooded him but none of it was useable as there was too much and it seemed to be in a totally different language. This girl was partially a telepath and he had gone somewhere he shouldn't have. Granted, she wasn't even aware of her capabilities to begin with. This fact, that she was not aware and was not expecting him, ontop of her obvious capabilities and the mass of information inside of her, was a concoction for a problem any moment Elek decided to go in.

The toll this would take on Elek would be painful. His symptoms would look more like a heartattack but with an empathic choking sensation- his throat would close up so he could not speak and wit hthe flood of telepathic information, his powers would be rendered useless unless he could pass out and severe the connection from her by both parties no longer being conscious.

As he continued to be, literally, stuck inside of her mind, her body began to have subtle tremors and a line of drool came down the corner of her mouth. Her whole body began to still, eyes glazed over with a milky white sheen but the blue was still visible underneath. A breath had left her and her whole body stilled, her hand easing back and looking almost lifeless and her body followed. Anyone looking at her would think she was dead until checking for a faint pulse.
