I'm here with a new proclamation
To rid the world of evil and super spies
And new hero for an apathetic nation
Like a Tranformer, more to me than meets the eye"

He could feel them, always. From the springs in the bed to the nails in the floorboards, everything with an atomic density high enough to be considered a metal was picked up by him. It was like he was sending out sonar, always aware of things but never able to actually do anything about it.
Jesse stared up at the ceiling, his vision fuzzy enough to let his thoughts wander away from counting the tiles in the ceiling as the crisp morning light slid across the room in slowly moving bars. His mind roved over subjects, thinking of what the others here might be doing, if he would be late to breakfast again, comic books, wondering what time it was, how much he had actually slept through the night, comic books. Sometimes he would do this for hours, just lying there searching for all the metal in the room and how far he could reach out with his mind to touch the materials he found or simply thinking over mundane things not ever quite willing to leave the enveloping warmth of his sheets. It was at this point when the sun reached the right peak to cascade into the room stinging his poor eyes with it's light, and he could either a: pull the sheets over his head and wait there for someone to come and drag him out of bed by his ankles or b: actually muster the willpower to get out from the security of his bed-sheets.
Jesse breathed out deeply from his nose, and turned over on his side the old frame groaning as he moved a pale and lightly freckled hand scrabbling across the surface of the nightstand beside the bed for the familiar rounded frame of his glasses. Blindly pressing them onto his face, the brunette sat up propping himself up against the pillows his hands splayed out for balance as he blinked to the sudden increase in sight the lenses had given him. Finally as the boy's eyes aligned, the room around him could be seen in perfect clarity. The floor was wood, with the feet of those who had stayed in the room before him worn into the grain. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and sat there for a moment, looking at the wrinkled folds of the tee-shirt and boxers he had fallen asleep in the night before. He tried ran his hand through the absolute curly
mess that sat atop his head, but stopped when he fingers became knotted in the thick hair. Jesse smirked half-heartedly in spite of himself, figuring he looked awful anyway right about now and it wouldn't be any use with his hair clumped in odd places, his Marvel shirt two sizes too big and slumping off is lanky frame, and his mouth having that distinct unpleasant taste of not having been brushed for a couple hours.
He slid off the side of the bed, the cold feel of the floor sending a shiver up his spine and jolting him awake. Jess plodded over to his dresser, intending to pull on a decent looking set of clothes before trooping off downstairs to the wide kitchen in which the other orphans would gather with him to inhale their breakfast before heading out.
"Looks like it's just going to be another day" he mused quietly to himself, over the cloudless sky outside. Not a spot of adventure in sight.
