Alice~
"Ah, let go Chica" The lifeguard chuckles as he extracts himself from Alice and heads back to his post. "Try and stay above the water huh?" He teases with a wiry grin.
Before Alice can respond that boy draws her attention. He's slowly making his way to her and for some reason she can't help but watch. She would blame teenage hormones but she wasn't precisely attracted to him (Ill leave that up to you Ushi) Not in that odd boy girl way in any case. It was something different, like he was a planet and she was its moon.
Devon~
At first Devon could have thought his attraction to the girl was physical. The lack of jealousy at the tight hug she gave the lifeguard quelled that. It was a little disappointing, that meant the pull he felt was something else. Something Unknown.
Inexplicably this bothered the young man. The sense of Deja Vu, the strangeness. Either way, she was right in front of him now. Best way to figure something out is the ask right?
\\k combining your threads!

Alice looked to this boy and.. (ooc: i'd need to see a pic of him to know if he's cute or not. I dont roll that way, but i can say if a guy is good lookin or not lol) She just thought it was weird how this guy drew her attention. Without looking for too long, she turns away and gets back in the water..she's a bit shocked still, but she makes her way back into the water. Maybe the weird thing would happen again? If it did, she'd certainly be more aware of its coming and try to make sense of it.

Devon matches her gaze, a confused scrunch of his eyebrows making him appear almost comical. He's oblivious to the dispersing crowd, or how odd it was that everyone was just going back to whatever was going on prior to the whole CPR schpiel. To his mind, an ambulance should have been called too? Maybe?
Then he realizes she's gone. Gone back to the water, despite having nearly died there mere moments before. Devon nods his head, impressed, and decides to return to his original course towards a vacant sun-chair he can use to place his pool-bag and towel upon while he does laps.

Alice~
The water is as comforting as it was before. Perhaps even more so. Despite it being a pool there seems to be a current. It tugs at Alice, flowing around her. Its giddy, bored of being stagnant. It wants to play but needs her permission. Like any petulant child. Its not afraid to beg.
Devon~
The water is fine, he has plenty of room for laps. It comes easier to him. He seems stronger than before. The bruises from his recent Iron Body training are silent, They ache, but its the faint hurt of weeks of healing. Maybe its just the water.
The strange girl is in the pool, she seems to be a little distracted. Perhaps it would be gentlemanly to keep an eye on her in case she goes down again.

"hmm? Is..it just me, or is the water trying to..play with me..? alice asks herself as she notices the water moving a bit on its own. She looks at the water and can't stop thinking about that strange dream she had when she was unconsious. She looks at the water more and more, then gently dips her head in. In that dream, she had no problems breathing in the water..
..alice tried to breate inside the water, if everything was normal, she wouldn't be able to breathe underwater, and she'd instantly pop her head back up.

Devon justifies his curiosity and observations of the blue-haired-almost-drowned-and-jumping-back-on-the-proverbial-horse-girl as the amount of attention he dedicates to monitoring anyone and everyone around him. It's not just his training, but an intrinsic impulse to keep an eye out for anyone in his vicinity that might ever require attention. Oddities or not!

Alice~
The welcoming water embraces Alice. Immediately she can feel a strange sensation beneath the surface. She doesn't need breath. It is intuitive. She simply knows she will never need to draw one beneath the water.
The pool takes her silent play as permission. The surface begins to froth and bubble, currents pull and swirl around Alice. Making her the focal point of the steadily growing whirlpool. Unchecked the pools waters run rampant. Splashing merrily about their way.
Devon~
Devon manages two laps before he feels the tug. As he was trained to do he gave the pool a quick glance and had to double take. The waters of the pool were not behaving as they should. They bubbled and sloshed as though there was a current in the man made body. Even stranger, a small whirlpool seemed to be taking shape. A whirlpool centered on that girl.
Almost immediately after he realized this, Devon felt another tug. This time his body was swept towards the girl and her vacuum. He knew he had to swim hard and fast to avoid the suction. It wasn't quite the workout he intended. But it was damn close.

Alice is super duper mega ultra smamtastically surprised when she finds out she doesnt need to breath in water! WTF?! How did that happen!? She was testing it more, when the water started to pull on her. She raised her head out of the water, and saw the water was starting a whirlpool. She tried to swim away from it out of instinct.
==================
Action 1: Swimming 3 to try to swim away from the whirlpool.

As Devon's effort begins bordering on frantic, his water-logged eyes cast about for the concrete wall, or the ropes... or... something, anything?! He wouldn't cry out for help, he just wouldn't... but he WOULD look for something solid that he might help himself with.

By this time the pool is frothing, the whirlpool is growing stronger and the draw more insistent. Before long Alice and Devon find themselves drawn to the heart. People are actually noting the strange occurrence and the lifeguard seems to be very much at a loss of words. Despite being strong swimmers, or physically fit the pair do not seem to be making any progress against the suction. Devon can not find any help and Alice may as well be paddling against a waterfall. The water warms as it draws them in, pulsing with a soft blue light that's bright enough to pass as neon. A few seconds more and the pair find themselves dragged under and cast into the dark blanket of sleep. .~. They are a bit young Master. A young voice whispers quietly. Yes, but there is little other choice, it has already passed to them, can you not feel it?" Replied an older man, his words are soft but ring with a power, underlying steel and fire wrapped around smoke and earth. Faintly, but its there, I fear they will not be ready, already one of the Hands has already integrated itself into the others life."Yes, I have begun to reach out to her, but the veil is thick, I think its time I went myself.The younger man's reply was cut off by a quiet groan. "They are awaking..~. Slowly, Devon and Alice regain consciousness. It is a slow gradual thing that comes in pieces. A sound here, a sensation there. The whispered catch of their breath, the pounding of their heart. All in all it takes several minutes to gain full control over their bodies once again.

Alice rubs her head, in confusion as she wakes to this new place. Could this be another strange dream..? Where was she? She had to find out, because staying in one place wouldnt do anything. Still, it was pretty weird..

Devon can't help it, he rolls over onto his back against all better judgement and reveals that the verbalized supposition is true... he has indeed woken up.

The room the two teenagers find themselves in is warm and cheerful. Soft rosewood paneling and beige to earth toned sofas and couches. A variety of paintings depicting beautiful scenery are stationed around the walls. Somehow appearing casual and standing out just enough to draw the eye. Plush white carpeting coats the ground, soft and warm.
The pair are currently laying side by side on two separate couches. Also soft and toned in a warm milky white. The voices seemed to be coming from two figures. A tall man draped in a grey robe with a honest to god wizard staff. He bore a remarkable resemblance to Gandalf. The other was a handsome young man. A few years older than Alice and Devon. He had piercing blue eyes and white hair, all the more unusual for his milky chocolate skin tone.
At current the two strangers were observing the teens with thoughtful intensity. They seemed content to remain silent while the two adjusted to the situation. After several moments the older man raised a finger and spoke a single word.
"Welcome."

Alice had seen a small resemblance to this wizard looking figure. He looked to be straight out of one of her novels. Though, this was real life, so..what the heck? The other guy seemed to also stand out in his own way. Still, this was really weird.
The wizard then spoke out to them, saying: Welcome. Alice sat up on the couch.
"Welcome..? Welcome to where..?" She simply asked. Maybe this was all just a dream. Who knew? this whole day seemed pretty wacky..

Devon kips up, and rapidly backs himself to the closest corner. His stance is deep, solid, and near perfect form. His hands are raised, clutched tightly into fists. Clearly he's of the impression he's been kidnapped or something...
