yes - Derek thinks she is very sweet. He thinks she is trying to become his friend... but we know that she is really testing him. She is trying to sense if he changes when she brings things from the other world. If it triggers his innate essence and pulls something forth.

She is not really doing it to be helpful... but she is becoming a little bit darker like him. As he is becoming a little bit more innocent? like she was? hmmmmm role reversal. LOL

They are actually always human. both of them. They have human bodies that they were born into.

However... Derek ... he is different. After the explosion - he seemed to be separated into parts. And now the only part he remembers is his human side.

so - he is not using the powers that he had, because he doesn't even know that he has this ability to do so.

by the way - HI @josediccus!!!! hehehehe I was away for an entire week- and now I have to get back into the swing of things on steemit! hehehehe thank you for being patient with me :)
