"I..I..." Chantal stammered, the horror of what those people made hr do rushed into her head. "I have...talents...special talents." She says, trying to sound vague. She was scared that if he found out she would be in trouble and more. "Apparently...someone knows what I can do and sent people after me." She says as she steps forward a bit. "Umm...if you are sincere in the offer I will take it. For some reason I'm feeling safe...talking to you."

---------------------------

"Awwww....ain't it sweet. She's making friends." Id remarks, watching them from afar. "Can I kill it?"

"He's one of us, one of our kind. That kind of decision isn't yours to make. Remember that." The Adept snaps. "We are to capture him."

"What kind of power does he have I wonder?" Tammy says.

"You worry too much. Between the three of us we should be more than capable of taking them down." Id says.

Cayne placed a light hand on her shoulder, "Good to hear you feel safe, you've got nothing to worry about. I'm more than willing to help you out until your friend gets here...and maybe after. And I'm not the kind of person who offers something unless I mean it." He said simply, smiling lightly.

She felt her grow hot as blood rushed to her face.
"I understand....um yeah,"she said getting into the truck again." for the record,...my name is Gina, Gina Sirman. what's yours if you don't mind my asking." she said trying to change the subject.

Roger stood on the Skydeck of the Sears Tower. Families all around him gawked at the sight of the windy city from this high up. Roger sighed content at the moment. He people watched between his picture taking.

He was waiting for his friend from the FBI to show up. Roger had taken a job, but did not have much of any information. All he was told was that Chicago would be the place for some of his infamous investigative journalism.

To be honest Roger was more of a photographer. The now infamous photo he had snapped of the Govenor of New York with his mistress was just dumb luck. What Roger really loved was nature, and photographing nature was his life. He loved scenery. He loved the beautiful sights of people on the beach, sunset hillsides, and the city at night.

Roger sighed, thinking about art as he watched a famliy.He stared at them absentmindedly for a few minutes The father and mother lived not too far outside the city. They had just went to the mall to get in some serious shopping, and then had decided to stop by the Sears Tower for a family moment and photo-op. Their little girl was crying. She must have been terrified of heights. It was most likely that time in first grade when a boy had pushed her from the top of the slide and she went way to fast. The family left, to go to an ice cream shop and calm the girl.

Roger blinked as he watched them leave. Somehow he knew all of that information, despite the fact he had never seen these people before. He quickly snapped a picture of them as they left. He pocketed it and sighed. This was a perplexing start to his Chicagan journey.

He stared out at the city and snapped a picture of the sea of buildings around them. He looked at the picture of the city and took a deep breath. he stared deep at the photo, and somehow he knew that something was happening in this city.

Something eerily familiar.

Carson walks down the streets of Chicago, looking around nervously, but desperately trying not to look suspitious. he keeps close to large clusters of people and avoids anyone in a suit. his stomache growls, and he realizes how hungry he is, and how long its been since he's eaten. he spots a shopping mall "Lot's of people...they can't find me there...." he mutters and heads towards the mall to find a crowded place to eat.

-------

Agent Slater steps out of the airport and looks around at the city of chicago. a hunch had lead him to search here, and now he and other agents were meeting to search for their target. he sighs and looks around "where are you kid...."

"I'm Kris Nexus, a pleasure. Oh,...and mine...well mine gets rid of powers. Like...well like I did with you...um,..so how much you wanna charge me?...for the ride I mean." He said. Getting in and settling himself. He blushed a bit still thinking about...well her.

[Isis]

"Mom, let's go!! Im hungry!!" LEah smiled as her mother shouted "Coming!!" She came around the corner, her hair still slightly damp but ready. "Alright, lets go eat!"
-------in the car!-------

Leah looked out the window at the passing fields and soon the buildings as they made their way into Albion. "So Dad's not gonna make it?"
Her mother sighed, "Not tonight, he's taking an extra shift for a coworker. But we'll get paid, and then you can get that new guitar!" Leah smiled as she looked at her, "Mom, that's great, but why not college? I'm graduating..."
"True....it does sound better, doesnt it?" They laughed as they turned into the parking lot for the diner.

[Deleted]

"Nothing,...I don't need gas money, c.ause I can make my own,...but you did see me naked....soo...how about $50 for the show....and you treat me to dinner in town." She said with a giggle.
"And stop worrying about it Mr. Tomato. You are not the first guy to see me naked.
Although,...well no....that's a tale for another time." She said as she sped off towards Albion.

_____ turning into a parking lot 15minutes later_____

Gina pulled off of the main road, and into a diners parking lot.
"Kay, so....here we are, let's eat....your treat." She said excitedly.
"And if your lucky, maybeh I'll let you take me to a movie." She said happily.

Carson reaches the mall and enters it. he buys a stramboli form the Sabarro in the food court and gets a soda from a vending machine. he sits down at a booth to eat, slightly jittery from nerves. Where do I go next... he thinks as he chews and stares blankly off at a tv, but not really watching it I can't go anywhere by plane...not enough money and security's too tight...I could rent a hotel room for the night, but would end up spending all my money...I can't get a job to get more money either. I need to keep moving or find a place to hide... on the tv screen a rather graphic anti-smoking commercial comes on, breaking his train of thoughts and causng him to look away with fear. he stares at his food and collects himself I need to get out of the country....then I'd be safe. I could go north to New York...cross the border into Canada from there.... he chews and groans. being a runaway was harder than he anticipated...

------

Slater sits in the drivers seat of his rental car. his phone vibrates and he answers it "Slater...just got into Chicago, I'm going to call Ramirez and figure out when he wants to rendezvous....he said he's got his man meeting with him to help.....right, bye." he hangs up.

-----

Tanner tosses his now empty takeout box and watches as Wyn finishes eating and throws hers out. "Now what?" he asks

"Weeeeeelllll....you do, owe me a trip to the mall...." she smiles

"by god, you do have a power..." he says and looks at his sister's confused face "You can smell a fresh paycheck a mile away." he smirks

Wyn laughs "I guess so!" she gets up "I was only kidding, we can go tomorow. Let's just chill and watch tv..."

Tanner nods "As long as it's not food network, I've had enough of my career for one day..."

[shadow wolf]

as the walked around the slums of chicago they found a busted up house that looked like it hadn't been used in ages. gen walked up and sniffed the air, then smile as wispared. "zach stand at the end of the sidewalk kaguro when i kick the door in rush it with me."

"okay kid what ever you say." they said taking their spots, zach with his windchester, and kaguro pulled out his swords.
then gen released his claws and kicked down the door. inside was a gang of kids who all responed with. "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?!?!" as gen slashed 2 of their chests wide open, right after kaguro rushed in and kicked one in the head while he stabed 2 more in the chest straight threw the chests, the last one pulled a gun and aimed at gen but got his head shot clean off by zach who walked in shortly after.

"okay now guys clean up time." zach said sitting down on the chouch.

[Dynamax]

The Adept twitches.

"What?" Id says.

"We may be forced to act. More powers...we need to follow and stay close. Not only do we run th risk of being surrounded but they might be drowned out." The Adept says.

"Casual time huh?" Tammy says. "Wish it wasn't a bloody coffee shop. Can't drink that swill."

"Don't worry, we'll get you something better suited as a victory drink." Id smiles.

--------------------------------

"Merci...your kindness it's more than I deserve." Chantal looks down as she says that.

[Noble 6]

____Before they leave_____

"Fifty bucks and dinner, I can do that easy." He said with a chuckle. He wondered how many had seen her like that.

(I assume they had small talk during the drive?)

(After arrival)

"Well...alright, let's get some chow...oh and a movie? Well I could go for a movie...it would be fun I guess," he said, his clothing changing into a white Aeropostle T-shirt, and a new pair of ripped jeans.
"Alright my lady, shall we?" he said opening his door and then walking around to her door. He opened it, and extended his hand.

[CrystalPrison]

"Now that, is complete and utter blasphemy." Cayne said, guiding her towards the coffee shop with a light wave of goodbye towards the alleyway. "You've obviously had a hard week, so keeping you company and buying you a drink is hardly anything." He paused talking as they walked, "When's the last time you ate?"

[Inkshade]

Carson throws away his trash and wanders through the mall, trying to decide how to budget his now less than $50. he had abandon his Canada idea, realizing that without proper connections, he'd have just as hard of a time there as he was in the US. It wasn't like he didn't have the connections, they were all just through the FBI. as he wanders, he considers stopping at one of the salons to get his hair cut and dyed, then going t buy new clothes, in hopes of possibly throwing off the agents and giving himself some space. A stupid idea...don't have enough money... he thinks and sits on a bench across from a coffee shop. it was giving off good smells, and though he had just finished eating, he started to crave a cup of a good quality coffee.

[outerlimits]

It was a stupid idea, a horrible idea, but he was going to do it anyways. Going back and grabbing his backpack, Matthew looked out of the alleyway from the safety of the shadows. It was afternoon, late even, and the sun's angle was casting shadows on that side of the mall. Thank god for that...

Keeping to the shade, even if it wasn't as dark as the alleyway, Matthew managed to keep himself invisible. The lateness was starting to make him feel more confident as well, he knew he'd become significantly stronger the darker out it became.

As for why he was following the man and the french woman...well...he didn't really know. It was like a small nudge was compelling him to follow them. But it wasn't just that either. He hadn't heard all that they were talking about, but it had sounded like the woman might be in trouble. If he could do something about it, even subtly, it might take his mind off his own troubles for once. That and his gut told him she could use the protection...
