She stopped when she heard him cry out then turned to see the boy who had appeared in her apartment suddenly crackling with electricity. "Wow, I was right, you ARE one of them."

  He snatched for the robe, since it had fallen THROUGH him, blushing to the navel again, and said "Apparently something happened, anyway.  I keep, umm, going unsolid.  I'm not sure if it's safe to get me in a car or not . . . and I'd be a piss poor guest if I hurt you, even by accident.  He was trying to keep himself decent, but he was still blushing hard.

She nodded blushing as the robe fell of him. "So what are we going to do? Is there someone else you can call?"

  He seemed torn, and then said "Maybe I should be here until I can get hold of someone?  I'll just, umm, borrow a pillow or something to go with the robe and sit on the couch?"

She smiled. "Sure if you don't mind. Just let me know when you wanna use my phone again." She headed over to the kitchen where her dinner was waiting. "You hungry?"

  He considered, and said "I could eat, if you're sure you don't mind company while you eat?"

"I don't mind as long as you don't fall through the chair." She said with a giggle as she prepared a plate for each of them and placed them down at the small kitchen table.

  He chuckled, blushing, and said "Well, if I fall through the chair, at least I'll be under the table and out of sight if I'm naked again.  I'm sorry that keeps happening, I know I'm not the prettiest scenery on earth . . ."

She placed a plate in front of him. "Other than making me blush you have nothing to apologize for on that account" She said with a smile as she sat down in front of her own plate. She crossed her hand and closed her eyes a moment before she began eating.

  He smiled, still blushing, and admitted "I think something just happened to me, to give me these abilities, and I have no handle on them yet.  And I apparently can't take clothes with me yet!!"

"Maybe it was the explosion? I don't think anything WITHOUT abilities could have survived THAT."

  Tim nodded, and admitted "I don't really REMEMBER the explosion . . . .so I would guess you're right."

"People talk about near death experiences turning on powers, thats prolly what happened to you." She took a bite and chewed slowly like she was trying to enjoy every bit of taste. "I dunno what the glowy hand thing was though, I've never done THAT before."

  Tim spread his hands, and said "I don't know, but I'm really glad you didn't totally freak about a naked man ending up in your living room.  I'm not SURE how I did . . . "

May was about to answer when her phone rang. She looked at it then held out the phone to Tim. "I don't know this number, this your friend?"

  Tim looked at the phone, then nodded, hitting 'talk' as he said "Jack!  Don't believe the news, I'm not dead!"

May blushed as she listened to Tim holding out the phone for him. She looked him over as he talked. He really was cute and he seemed nice but she'd only seen boys with their clothes on.

  He blushed, and smiled at May.  He kept talking to Jack, and added "Jack's surprised I survived.  So am I."

She smiled under the blush. "It was an awful big explosion, you should see the chem building."

  Tim nodded, and said thoughtfully "I might want to swing by the hospital, I think that's where Jack and Penny are.  I think she may well have been in labor, as I hear baby giggles."

"Can you stay solid long enough for me to drive us there? And are you okay showing up there in a fuzzy pink bathrobe? Or should we find you some clothes first?"

  Tim admitted "I don't know.  I'll give it my best shot.  And I can deal, although pants of any sort would be nice.  I'd sure feel less exposed."

In reply to Tim Wright (msg # 51):

She nodded and went to her room apearing a moment later with a pair of stretchy yoga pants. "Will these work?"

  Tim smiled, and said "They sure look like they'll work.  I'm game to try them."

May handed him the pants and turned around while he changed. Once he was ready she lead him to her car
