When Sparks Fly (Vinny)

[Lincoln Campbell]

(ooc: July 25th. Morning.)

Lincoln had set up a few targets for practice. He'd tried with the Blade Blaster and did ok. But he knew he could do better so he'd switched to his powers. He blasted a couple with a grin. Unfortunately, he put too much juice into the blast as the targets exploded and Lincoln was flung back. He groaned realizing his tanktop was ripped a bit that it was torn in the middle having two half shirts covering his sides with his chest and abs bare.

"I guess I overdid it." said Lincoln.

As he stood up he realized he had fallen on someone and blushed.

"I'm sorry. I put too much juice in the attack. I got to work on that." said Lincoln.

He took his ripped shirt off wiping his face using it as a rag. He then held out a hand.

"Do you need some help getting up?" asked Lincoln.

The guy looked familiar but he couldn't remember his name.

[Vinny Santorini]

Vinny had been working on explosions, as was his job here at the war. Critic was clear that they needed a demolition expert and vinny was certainly that. He had came outside to cleanse his mind and work on exactly how to make both facilier and ATG quake in their boots. There was also the matter of his own personal curiosity over Lincoln. The two were allies but vinny felt this drawn energy to him. There was no question he was attracted to Lincoln, but he felt it was more than just the tiny crush he got here or there. Why? Vinny wasn't sure of the answer. He barely knew the guy. He wasn't even sure if he knew Lincoln's name. But that was why he was out here. To get his mind on the why. And more importantly inspect on his feelings.

He went to get natural herbs for his explosive weaponry when suddenly a loud bang was heard. Vinny went to see it, ever curious when a explosion came off. Only to have someone be thrown into him, causing vinny to be toppled by said person. When he heard Lincoln's comment of doing too much, vinny chuckled "Gee. What gave that away? The explosion or the fact you flew onto me?" He was mostly kidding, not really concerned. As long as nobody he knew got hurt he didn't care. He then looked up, resisting the urge to flirt right then and there. There was no denying Lincoln was a handsome man. But vinny felt it best to not flirt right now, especially since he didn't know if the guy wasn't straight. He then shrugged off the apology "Eh. It's alright. No harm. You made one hell of a awesome explosion. I should know. I make them for a living" He then took Lincoln's hand, replying "I'd appreciate that, much obliged. I've seen you around here, you're Lincoln right? Name's vinny"

Lincoln chuckled before looking concerned.

"I'm sorry about that. I didn't hurt you did I?" said Lincoln.

He paused as Vinny took his hand and Lincoln helped him up.

"Yep. I'm Lincoln. And you're Vinny." said Lincoln.

He would make sure to remember that name and he paused realizing he was still holding his hand and reluctantly let go. He was bisexual and had only dated women before. It hadn't worked out but he was attracted to men too and Vinny definitely was attractive. But at this point he'd be grateful they were friends after he'd practically knocked him over.

"So you make explosions for a living? Do you have powers like me? Or do you make them?" asked Lincoln, curious.

Vinny smiled a bit as Lincoln seemed genuine about his apology. Vinny shrugged with a amused grin "No harm no foul. Just surprised me" He then smirked more "Gotta say. One hell of a power you got. I love a good explosion" It was true. He was obsessed with them. He liked the way they looked, sounded, were created. It caused good destruction against the enemy and that was enough for vinny.

"Correct. Glad we got that all sorted out" Vinny replied jokingly before realizing also that their hands were held until Lincoln let go quickly. Much to vinny's disappointment. But he kept that to himself. Instead he focused on Lincoln's questions. He replied with a evident amusement in his voice "I wish I had powers but alas I'm merely just talented with making stuff blow. Got some dynamite, grenades, you name the explosive weapon I know all about it. And I'm great at making it too. Could make that explosion of yours look tiny" He then showed off his half done bomb "I just need a mint leaf for this and I could show you a hell of a fun explosion of ya want" He wanted to talk more to Lincoln and hoped the other man would accept his invitation. Like Lincoln, he was bi but was used to dating women, yet he found himself totally interested in Lincoln's company.

Lincoln grinned.

"I'm good. I'd be sad if I hurt you." said Lincoln.

His grin grew.

"Thanks. Before this war my world I hid it. Because I thought people might treat me like a freak. There was a group of us that hid where we could practice our powers. I was one of them. We were called Inhumans. I hope they're all doing ok." said Lincoln.

He paused listening to him.

"A weapon expert? That's so cool. I always wanted to see one of those up close." said Lincoln.

He was in shock as Vinny showed him an incomplete bomb and he grinned like a kid in a candy store.

"Do you have any I could use? I would love to throw at least one. Maybe you could show me how to do it right." said Lincoln.

He had toys like this as a kid but nothing beat the real thing. And with an expert like Vinny here they'd be safe. If something went wrong, they could run away. And he could fry it with his powers so they weren't hurt.
