"I'm glad you aren't a myth. You're really nice." Luke said quietly. "Wow... that sucks. You must be scared a lot."

"You have no idea" said Dream. "Believe me, there are a lot of things worse than death. And I'm sort of...trapped in them."
Dream looked at Luke. She wondered what his powers were. She hoped not mind reading.

"I'm sorry." Luke murmured. "If it makes you feel any better, you're not the only one with bad memories." And he knew a few things worse than death. One of them was killing. He shook the thought from his mind.

"What about you?" Asked Dream. "What are your bad memories? What are your powers?"

Luke shrugged. "I don't like to talk about the memories." He sighed. "As to my powers, I'm still working on them. So far, I know I can control fire, water, and stone. I figure I can control other elements, too, but I haven't been able to yet."

"Really!" Said Dream, getting excited. "Why those are kind of like mine, in a way, I guess. Does that mean you can breathe underwater, and fly? And does it mean you can't die either? Or, if something like a bullet gets you too fast to stop it... would that still kill you?"

Luke held a hand out to gently silence her. "No, I'm not invincible. It would be nice, especially when everyone wanted to kill me. I can't breathe underwater, but I can hold my breath for a very long time. But I can be shot." His face fell at th ememory, and he looked at his right hand, and the round scar that marred it. "I've been shot before."

Dream placed her tiny, soft, pale hand into his, and gently ran her fingers over his scar. She looked up into his eyes, "I think it's beautiful" she said. "You're like a phoenix. You rose again, even amidst the flames."

Luke smiled. She had a way of making everything seem like a good thing, even bullet wounds. "Thank you." He closed his hand around hers.

Dream was nervous. It was dangerous to like someone this much, especially after just meeting them. And she knew Luke had a dark side...but somehow, right now, she almost didn't care.
"You don't like the other students much, do you?"

Luke hesitated. "Well, some of them, but I was never a very social person. I had a rough childhood. No friends."

"Me too. I don't think I ever talked to anyone until I came here. But I don't really remember. I don't even know how old I am."
