Christian had been awake for a few hours now. He had showered and eaten breakfast before anyone else was awake. At the moment, he was wearing a pair or baggy jeans, and black sleeveless UnderArmour shirt, with his hair undone, lying in a mess on his head.
Still playing with the lyrics he had written the night before, and strumming at his guitar, he stopped once in a while to think over the tune he was conjuring in his head.
Cole had him worried. While Kevin was technically in charge, he was too used to Cole's antics to take him seriously, which caused a serious problem in morale. Especially where Ellen was concerned. While he wasn't sure what Cole did to invoke her wrath, he knew they shared Cole's room last night, which was invitation enough for trouble.

"Do you think they'll be alright?" Amelia said from the door. She had borrowed some clothing from Ellen, mainly a t-shirt and pants, that were a little big on her. Her hair was up in a pnytail as she looked at Christian with curious eyes.

He smiled as their eyes met, "Don't worry about it, Cole's gonna get slapped around more by Ellen than me, then things will cool down."
He looked back to his paper, "Sleep well?"

"That will be interesting consitering her powers," Amelia said smiling, "Well except for the things wizzing by my head, yes, yourself?"

Christian smiled, putting down his pencil to retune his guitar, "Just dandy. So how was your first night here in the dorms? Wanna move in full-time yet," he joked, "Ellen could use a roommate, I'm sure."

"I'm afraid of what she'd do if I used all the hot water," Amelia joked sitting beside Christian, "So, I know you have a song, and you want to sing it."

Christian hurredly covered the lyrics, "Ehhh, it's still a work in progress. But rest assured, you'll hear it before... you know. You leave, and all."
He tried to change the subject, "So, Ellen and Cole's antics weren't too bad, were they?"

"No, strange, but not that bad. I grew up with war nothing really surpises me now," Amelia shrugged.

He smiled, "Yeah, about that, I just want you to know: Despite the dysfunction this little battalion of retards, I want you to know, I 'm gonna do everything within my power to make sure that you don't have to go home to that kind of life."
He folded up the lyrics sheet, and stuck it under the strings of the guitar, propping it up beside him.

"Thank you that means a lot to me," Amelia said quietly.

He nodded, "Anytime."
He stood up, "So, was there anything you have planned to do today?"

"I'm probably going to scoot around maybe get some information on places the virus can be manufactored or created," Amelia said.

Christian smiled kindly, "Alright, mind if I tag along? You almost got lost looking through a toy store window yesterday. Good thing I stopped by and picked you up."

"I guess so," Amelia said standing up, "But to you it'll probably be boring."

Chritian smiled, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure you can keep me entertained. Besides, you need an escort around town, right?"
He stood up, and put on a heavier shirt, "Where ya wanna go first?"

"Probably to the scientific parts of town maybe some local ones at that, walk around talk," Amelia said, "As I said before I'm doing this all by ear."

"Well, that leaves alot to wish for," he said, "We could start at the university, or maybe head back downtown, and ask around, but like you said, I wouldn't know where to start, either."

"Well, there has to be some reports about the Virus already started, we can probably track to where it's been reported," Amelia said thinking deeply.

"I do know of a Dr. Essex down at the University," he said, heading for the door, "He's a genius in Genetics. If anything is coming down the pike in the name of science, he'll be the go-to guy!"
