Thomas sighed, he hated having to be alone. But it was like it or lump it, so he dealt with it. He put his car keys in the ignition, and started driving down the road. He put his radio on, and put it on full volume. He liked listening to music to disconnect from the world.

After a few minutes of driving, Thomas reached his destination, an abandoned rail station. He park his car, and got out, leaving most of his stuff inside. He walked into the station, and saw someone walking around. Shit, he thought to himself. He was about to make himself unnoticeable, but if they were a hunter he could be dead meat if his power was detected. He hid behind a pillar, and tried to be as silent as possible.

Naddy looked at the man as he responded "He should be fine, hopefully he ain't a mouth breather. That bike yours? It's nice". She looked at him with a crooked little half smile in response. "Nice tattoos by the way, lovin' the gun" she nodded "Thank you" she said as he walked out of the store. She walked up and started to pay for her food "Don't see many girls like you out here" She smiled at him laying down the cash Don't bother cupcake, I'm way out of your league He man laughed some giving her change as she waved to him"Taa taa" she said walking out of the door.

Since she couldn't really eat and ride she walked up to her bike and leaned back against it using it as seat. She crossed her legs, like a proper lady, as she sat her drink down and opened her bag of chips. She started to eat them as she looked over the little duo sitting in the car. Leaning forward She looked at them. The car was acting as a buffer so even she couldn't read them at this moment. Only really what she could see. Muscle movement, facial expression the only thing she was sure of was that she was coming up in conversation. It didn't take long though before she lost interest though, as such things were fleeting for her. Leaning back she ate her chips before taking a drink from her water bottle she figured she would give them until she finished her snack.

John waited in his seat for a moment longer, wiping his face with both of his hands as if he were stressed from the "argument". He then got up and followed after the red-headed girl, walking fast like he was in a hurry to catch up. Soon enough he saw the girl exiting the library, and saw another guy was following her...and then John realized he was sensing another gift. So this guy's a Gifted too? Strange...there's never been so many of us...NO...THEM...together. - You've got to remember who you work for John, no matter how much you hate it. They can find you...and they will kill you. John thought to himself as he pushed through the doors. He almost immediately gave the Gifted guy a pat on the back, gently nudging him along. "Hey! Long time no see! How's work been for ya? Too busy to hang out?" John said before stepping ahead to put his hands on the girl's shoulders to stop her and turn her to face the new guy. "Look I'm sorry for what I said back there, it wasn't the right time nor place. But, come on, here...let me introduce you to the guy I've told you about." He said and gestured to the complete stranger of a man. We really shouldn't stay out in the open like this...let's go somewhere more secluded. John thought, and came to an idea. He looked quickly at his wrist, as if he had a watch even though he didn't. "Oh my! Look at the time! We should go home..." He said to the red-headed girl before looking at the man. "Won't you come with us and hang out for awhile? So we can catch up?" He asked as he started nudging them along the sidewalk. If I remember correctly...there's an old train station nearby...and that should be a good place to get acquainted. He planned, unable to sense any other gifted beyond the two that stood there next to him.

... Sorry about your sister, by the way."

"Do me a favor and don't ever mention my sister. Also, stay the fuck out of my head!", Cole sat back in his seat and tried to calm down. Reaching for the radio dial he found it was missing entirely, "What the hell!", it didn't take him long to figure out it was Miller who broke it. Letting out a sigh of frustration Cole looked around for the dial and upon finding it carefully put it back into its rightful place. "What have I gotten myself into..", he thought before looking up at the possible Gifted.

"If anything, we should ask her and maybe try to get her along with it, the idea, I am not sure entirely sure how."

"You said she had the eyes. She could be a gifted being used to hunt our kind", to be brought down now after making it so far Cole was cautious about bringing her with him. Miller alone was a huge gamble but he seemed to fresh to be an enslaved. Cole glanced back at Miller and caught a glimpse of him giving the Gifted a look that he knew far too well, "Alright, you want her? Let's go. Go talk to her, get all touchy with her if you can. And if you find a memory of her that proves she's a slave then get in the car and I'll take care of her"

Chris recoiled instinctively as he felt the touch on his back. He turned to face the bandaged man and stumbled back several paces, nearly tripping in his surprise. Automatically, he dropped his bag of possessions and brought his arm up to cover his face, though he really needn't have bothered, as he still wore the scarf and sunglasses that protected others from the sight of him.

The man had been talking. "Won't you come with us and hang out for awhile? So we can catch up?"

Chris tried to reach out to the man's mind, but all he could tell was that he wanted to get away from the library. Desperately.

He lowered his gaze to the stranger's feet and stammered out a reply. "Y-yeah. Sure thing... old friend." He let out a terribly unconvincing fake laugh. "Sure has been a while."

Chris stooped to pick up his bag again, taking care to maintain his distance from the other Gifteds. Something was going on here, that much he was certain of. Someone was in danger, and if Chris could help, he had to.

Kithra watched as Damien picked up the dirty dishes and she wanted to take the plates away and eat the half eaten food, she felt like a starving animal. Control yourself Kitty! She thought angrily as she tried to control her shaking hand and aching stomach. But the smell and sight of food had her mouth watering and her eyeing Damien. Now she looked back at her life and realized just how much food she had wasted, how she wished she didn't waste so much when there was other like her dying of hunger. She bit her lip as she sat down and listened to Damien as he said he was sorry for the mess and that he wasn't expecting guests. She didn't care as this was the first time she had been in a place other then a cardboard box, she wasn't going to complain.

Once he placed the plate of food infront of her it took all her will power not to look like a pig. "Thank you." She said as she waited a moment longer as he poured her a glass of juice. Once he sat down and was looking at a book she lifted the sandwich slowly before taking a bite, she chewed slowly before swallowing. Suddenly she remembered that he had asked her a question. "My name is Kithra, some called me Kitty." She said lowly as she looked at her hands before looking up again. She pink eye most likely looked strange as who had a bright pink eye? "I take you have a mind gift? You walk like you are unafraid of those around." She said feeling a little bit more confident and comfortable with a little bit of food in her stomach, plus being with another gifted was comforting or was it his gift? What ever the case she was feeling a little better. She took another bite of her sandwich, she was still trying not to look like a pig but it was hard.

Finely she just gave up her self-control and wolfed down the food and the glass of juice. She looked up at Damien smiled shyly, her cheeks going a soft pink colour. "I.... um... Thank you, you have no idea how hungry I was." She said trying to find her words. She looked down at the eye contacts case and shook her head. She wasn't going to wear someone else's eye stuff, a part of her was weirded out by the thought.
"I will have that shower, but I am fine wearing these clothes again. I don't want to be a burden, plus you have done enough." She said as she looked Damien in the eyes, though she felt like she couldn't hold his gaze. She wasn't sure if it was because her mind was still foggy or because he seem very pretty. It could of been both, but before she could contemplate it she stood up and waited for Damien to give her a towel. Once she did she went to get cleaned up. Must keep my mind clear! She thought as the fogginess seemed to lift a bit being a bit further away from him. She hoped that he wouldn't ask anything of her, maybe she could dance for him. But that seemed to frightened her, as she hadn't used her gift since she found out what it was.

Once she was done her shower she came out of the bathroom and smiled at Damien as she dried her wet hair. "Thank you."

Lucky was walking around trying to clear his mind when he thought he heard a car door shut. He stood still and waited for the person to come, he knew he could easily make them forget if they were a threat. He waited a moment longer when he before turning around slowly, he took note that the station door was open when he had shut it. So he knew that the person was in the room with him, he looked around the room trying to see if he could find a clue to where they were. There were only a few spots that someone could hide.

"I know you are in here." He said as he continued to search for the intruder. "If you are Gifted come out but if you are a Regular leave now." He said regular in a distrust tone, he knew if they left he was going to have to leave as well as they would send hunters or come back with a mob. So needless to say he really hoped that it was another gifted, but then he hoped that it wasn't a Gifted hunter. Ever since the Regulars have come up with that idea it has been hard for Gifted to trust each other.

Divide and conquer. He thought knowing that was the tactic that the Regulars loved to use. So regardless he was ready to use his gift on who ever it was that was in the room with him.

(side character)

James was a military man and a damn good one too, he knew how to use what he had to bring victory. But now he was fighting a different fight and one that was on his home soil, it was weird fighting on at home. But he knew that he had to as this was a fight that was in every home across the world. It was a war on those known as the Gifted, they were the natural enemy of the human race. Sure they were useful as fodder in other fights and wars, but they were unnatural.
He stood in his office looking out a large window with his hands clasped behind his back, he wondered just how many were hiding in plain sight and how many were truly out there. Just then there was a knock at his door, "Come in." He said in a gruff voice that held a note of command. He heard the door open and the light tapping of high heal shoes come up behind him. "Sir, we have reports saying that there is a higher than normal amount of Gifted in the small city of Triva." The woman said in a matter of fact tone.
"Do we have agents there?"
"Yes sir, but they may not be enough. We already lost agent Terrance Crewe, he was tracking a very dangerous Gifted known to be able to kill. We also have John there, but...." The woman said with slight worry.
James smiled slowly as he turned to look at the young woman, "Send Greg."
"But sir, he has been resistant to our training. He has been ordered to be killed."
"I know Mira, that is why we will send him. They will trust him because he hates us, then we will send in our units to wipe as many of them out. We have implanted him, we will be able to find him...... Leave him an opening to escape." He said before waving his hand signaling that he was done talking. He turned back to the window and smiled darkly, "You have no idea that you are going to die."

Miller Anderson

Seeing the face of, the gifted become visually more sullen over, the mentioning of his sister, he then said,
"Do me a favor and don't ever mention my sister. Also, stay the fuck out of my head!"
A drop of sweat falls from his face and Miller replies, "Uh, I- I'll try.

The other gifted finally noticed that the dial tone that was broken by Miller.
"I swear, it just popped off, just like that." he said to him, with both hands up.

"You said she had the eyes. She could be a gifted being used to hunt our kind"
Pondering for a minute, he replies with
"That's a good point, but I think she saw my eye color too, and if she was a hunter, she probably would've done something by now."

The other gifted seemed to think about it, then utters,
"Alright, you want her? Let's go. Go talk to her, get all touchy with her if you can. And if you find a memory of her that proves she's a slave then get in the car and I'll take care of her"
Taken aback by what he said, Miller sat there in silence, "Wait, why do I have to do it- he says but quickly surrendering, with a sigh "Alright Mom, I'll go do it, but damn you owe me one for this later."

Opening the car door, he looks back at the guy but then walks out, stretches a bit, then proceeds to walk to the bike that the Lady was eating on, face tinged with red, he walks up to the lady and manages to barely utter,
"Uhm, hello, m-my name is Miller, Miller Anderson, and I noticed that your eye color is different, are you one of those gifted?

While saying this, he looks around, but takes off his Sunglasses to reveal to her that he did indeed have different colored.

Finsishing the last of her chips she pulled up that water bottle and chugged it "times up" she thought. The door to the car opened as the passenger got out. She looked over at him as he walked up to her, it didn't take a gifted to notice he was nervous. She gave him that crooked little half smile of hers as she watched him approaching. He looked like a nervous kid about to ask the girl he has a crush on to prom. "Well Miller Anderson, They call me Naddy" She looked at him taking off her own sunglasses "Not at all, these are contacts. I just like placing a target on my back for the rush of it". She kept her little half smile up "How bout your self cutie? you gifted or you just use that as a pick up line for all the pretty girls you meet". Uncrossing her legs she slid down from her bike "and how bout your boyfriend over there. He a part of the club to or do you just keep him around for some eyecandy?" She looked over at the car before slipping her sunglasses back on. She held her hand out to his "pleasure to meet you"

Cole watched as Miller exited the car and approach the gifted. "If anything kid you owe me...", he said to himself as he got ready to exit the car. Before he did he waited and watched in case he had to run her over. Their words were muffled but from what he could make out she liked to be called "Naddy". "Well that's one thing out of the way", he thought as he glanced at the radio whose dial had popped right back out again. "Seriously? I guess the kid was lying after all", he forced the dial back into place and looked back up to find Naddy's hand stretching out towards Miller. "Shit!", he quickly opened the car door and stood outside by the car. The car door was still open and it concealed his hands which displayed black veins. "What is she?", he asked Miller as he slammed the car door, revealing his hands.

Thomas heard how the person in the room said 'regular'. He clearly didn't like them. This must mean that he was a gifted, and that he liked other gifted, or, at least, didn't dislike them as much as he disliked regulars. Thomas didn't know what power this person had, they could be dangerous if he didn't oblige to their request.

"Hey, I'm-I'm sorry," Thomas said, coming out of his cover with his hands up, "Didn't know anybody was here. Oh, sorry," he apologised to the person, moving his sunglasses down so that you could see that his eyes were different colours, "I didn't know that anybody was here."

Thomas hoped that this person wasn't a gifted that wanted to hurt him, as he wouldn't be able to use his gift anymore.

Miller Anderson

"Well Miller Anderson, They call me Naddy" she said with a smirk, "Not at all, these are contacts. I just like placing a target on my back for the rush of it."

Hearing this, Miller was a bit suprised, "For the rush of it, wow, how free of spirit, or well, wild. he thought to himself.

"How bout your self cutie? you gifted or you just use that as a pick up line for all the pretty girls you meet? and how bout your boyfriend over there. He a part of the club to or do you just keep him around for some eyecandy?" she continued,
"Haaaah, well damn my cover's blown." he says, "Well, yes I AM a gifted. Psh totally not. Well, you know what they say, safety in numbers and all." he replied with a smirk.

"Pleasure to meet you" she said to him, with the same half smile that exhilarated Miller, "Free spirited or not, she's still pretty cu-" he thought to himself before he was cut off by the other Gifted who apparently has gotten out of the car. "What is she?" he somewhat shouted towards Miller. "I didn't have contact, yet, gimme a sec." he replies as Miller shakes Naddy's hand, he begins to use his gift once he had contact.

"Well, now i am transmitting my thoughts to you, and I can hear your thoughts, so I guess it's somewhat of a phone, heh. Now do you mind telling me, are you really a free spirited lady or a gifted, like me and my friend over there?

Naddy smiled a bit as he answered "Haaaah, well damn my cover's blown. Well, yes I AM a gifted. Psh totally not. Well, you know what they say, safety in numbers and all." She looked at him and laughed some "wait did he not notice that is sarchasim" she thought to herself, though soon the otherone came out of the car. He shouted as Miller was talking cutting him off. Soon he grabbed her hand and suddenly she heard thoughts in her head. She looked up at him raising an eyebrow "I am a gifted, and I notice things...everything actually. Though you seem oblivious to sarchasim" Looking over she pulled her hand away "Now if you don't mind. I don't think I want someone probing around in my mind. No matter how cute they are.

She looked over to Cole "Yes" She answered him as she looked at him "and your right, safty in numbers. I've been alone for along time. Might be fun for some company" She winked at him as she kind of enjoyed messing with people "And how bout you tall pale and brooding?"

Cole breathed a sigh of relief after hearing their new friend was not a traitor. The veins in his hands regained their natural color as he approached the two of them. She winked at him however it did little to phase him, "What about me?, he asked giving a puzzled and slightly annoyed look. "If your asking my name it's Cole. If your asking my power...", Cole turned his gaze to a squirrel nearby on a tree. His gaze seemed to compel the animal to approach him to the point where it was sniffing his hand. Cole's snapped out of his stare and grabbed the squirrel by the torso. It's teeth biting his hand and clawing at Cole to be free. Cole's hand became lined with black veins once more as the life from the animal was quickly sapped from its body. When it was over Cole's grip on the squirrel was loosened and the poor creature fell to the ground."That was going to be you. Like i said to this one, you sell us out or screw us over in anyway you'll end up like the squirrel. You watch our backs, we watch yours. I'm sure we'll get along fine", Cole headed back towards his car but spoke again as he did so, "I'm guessing you want to ride on your own so stay close. I got a place for us to stay...".

Lucky raised an eye brow when the intruder came out from his hiding spot with his hands. Did he seriously sound that intimidating? He found that odd as he was told that he had great bedside manners, and was one of the nicest people. But he guessed that was before he was Gifted, when no one was afraid of him or was trying to kill him.Guess time running changes you. He thought as cocked his head to the side still looking at the other guy. He didn't look like a threat but he could be covering, once the other guy took his shades off he could see that he was Gifted.

"It's alright, just can't be too careful these days." He said though he didn't move any closer to the other guy just in case his power would only activate with in a certain distance. "Name's Lucky. What's yours?" He asked as they might as well exchange names if they were going to be in the same area. Though a part of him was relieved that it was a Gifted that was the intruder, as he wasn't ready to move.

Truth was he was getting really tired of moving and being on the run. He wished he was still a Regular though he now understood what the other side felt and what they go through every day. So maybe he didn't really wished to be 'normal', but he did want to make a difference. "What's your gift?" He paused before continuing, "Mine's I can make people forget me." He said seeing that he might as well let the other guy know what he was capable of.

Miller Anderson

She replies back in her thoughts, "I am a gifted, and I notice things...everything actually. Though you seem oblivious to sarcasm" . "Aw that's a bit mean" i said out loud with a phony frown. "Now if you don't mind. I don't think I want someone probing around in my mind. No matter how cute they are. she said, "Aw stop it, you're gonna make me blush." he says while lightly blushing.

Her attention then turns to the other Gifted who again, had a sour face. "Hey she's joining us now!" he says waving his arms spastically towards him. Overhearing that his name was Cole, something he had forgotten to ask, but simply shrugging off now. He then pats Naddy in the back, while clambering back to Cole's car, riding the shotgun seat, he strapped on the car, saying,
"Onward my faithful steed, wait, where are we going again?

"I take you have a mind gift? You walk like you are unafraid of those around."

Looking at the Kithra before smiling, he was feeling great to be talking to another gifted in such a long while now, he forgotten what it was like to share a secret with someone just like you. "Yes, I do have a gift thank you for noticing. Im afraid I can't control it, as I use it everytime I talk, so if your feeling weird because of me I apologize for it. There nothing I can do besides not talking, and that isn't the brightest of all solutions but I don't use this gift for anything else rather than normal conversation if that is what you are wondering." He sighed, looking off into space before he waited for her to finish her meal that he had made. Then he began to fall deep into his thoughts wondering what would he do now, with another person traveling with him...

He had gotten far into his mind, thinking about several scenarios about how this would all turn out the simplest being that if she left but he didnt want that. She could barely survive out there, and now since he had gotten this far he might as well be her guardian now, sighing at the thought. Looking at Kirtha, he gave a guess that she was still in High School probably not being that old, recently turning 18 maybe? He didn't get any further before his thoughts were interrupted "I.... um... Thank you, you have no idea how hungry I was." He smiled before taking her plate and heading to the dishwasher "It was no problem, the only shame is that i'm not that great of a cook. Oh well, at least I don't burn my place down, so that's a plus, I guess?" He said smiling before sitting down finishing cleaning once again.

"I will have that shower, but I am fine wearing these clothes again. I don't want to be a burden, plus you have done enough." He sighed "No, no its okay don't worry about it, I haven't done that much. I only feel bad that I can't do more considering this" He said with his hands stretched out wide, signifying the motorhome and its limited efficiency in comparison to a normal house. Sometimes he wonder what would it been like if he had gotten a home instead of this, he spent a bit of time thinking over his thoughts before deciding it was best he had gotten his motorhome. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had many of his memorable road trips where he met other people of all kinds, both interesting and sometimes boring. He then watched Kithra grab the towel before heading to the shower, and deciding to give her some privacy he went up to the front in the driver's seat.

"Thank you." He looked at the girl once again, she was finished with her shower. "No problem Kirtha, although I haven't thought about my plans this far. Im sorry, but what do you think we should do? I don't mind you staying here if you want, I can fit up to three other people including me, so there is plenty of space in here but what would you like to do? I don't want to sound controlling or anything like that but I want to see whats comfortable with you and what you want to do" He said crossing his arms and giving her a stern look, if she decided she was staying here he wouldn't mind, a person can only go for so long with talking like normal to someone. However, if she left, he would try to give her all she needed before letting her off but that was something he hoped she wouldn't do. Considering her situation, this was perhaps the best scenario but again this was up to her.

Cole started the ignition but stopped and stared at Miller after hearing him say, "Onward my faithful steed..". There was a moment of awkward silence before Cole shook his head,"I can tell you're gunna be a pain in my ass already". Without another word he put the car in drive and began speeding off onto the highway. With the dial back in its proper place Cole turned on the car stereo and pressed play, His favorite song came on and Cole began to hum along to lyrics. "Kind of like the old days..", he thought as he glanced in the rear view mirror at Naddy. He chuckled a bit because the old days were actually just a few years ago.

After a bit of driving on the highway Cole exited off and drove into the parking lot of a motel. "I'll go get us a room. You can go talk to your girlfriend now", Cole said to Miller with a sinister grin. He got out of the car and headed into the guest sign in. The guy at the counter was shady looking, not the dirty homeless drug addict kind of shady but the kind of shady you'd see in a guy who was about to take someone hostage. Cole walked up to the desk and shook the man's hand, the two were well acquainted. "Well if it ain't Cole Harland. Didn't think I'd see you again, not after what happened at Haven", the man was gifted which was told by the mismatched eye colors. "Yeah...I was lucky to get out, you still got the room for me Brennan?"

"Of course, the 'Presidential Suite', for an old friend", Brennan leaned to the side of Cole and looked out the window to see Miller and Nadia. "What you starting up another-"

"Making new friends. Now, the keys?", Cole held out his hand and shortly after a silver key fell into his palm. "Sure thing boss, sure thing..", Brennan sat back in his chair after handing Cole the keys and began to read a..rather revealing magazine. Cole grinned slightly and headed out, "Same old Brennan".

Naddy watched Coles little display of his power "Oh Mr. dark' She said as soon they both walked back into their car and started it up. She zipped up her coat and pulled her helmet over her head before stuffing her hair up inside of it. She soon had turned the key and hit to the starter as the bike fired up coming to life. She looked back to see the pair already pulling away "Give a girl some time to pull out at least" she muttered to her self before she popped it in gear and pulled the throttle. She swung the back end out and burned out in her spot turning the bike before she was soon off. It didn't take long before she was fallowing the pair. Riding behind them she decided to have some fun while riding. Soon enough she pulled up along side of them and hit the clutch while down shifting two gears, once she let out and hit the gas her front in lifted off the ground. Riding along side them with her front wheel up she pulled a head before hitting her back brake softy to lower the front wheel slowly and pulling up behind them. She stayed behind them, riding back and forth in her lane and pulling up in front of them for a few miles before pulling back. She popped the front up a few times more as well, mostly out of boredom.

After a bit they were pulling into a motel as she soon pulled along side them. Sitting up she streached before taking off her helmet and setting it down on her fuselage and leaning against it "My my, cheap motel. You two sure do know how to make a girl feel special". She leaned back again looking around as Cole got out of the car leaving them. She kicked a leg over her bike as she used it as a seat "guess it's just me and you then." she said looking to Miller sitting in the passenger seat of the car.

Miller Anderson

"I can tell you're gunna be a pain in my ass already" utters Cole, "You'll hurt my feelings man." he replies with a fake sob.

Driving through the thick and unmanaged road, Cole opened up some tunes, back from his old war days Miller presumed. All of a sudden, Naddy begins to start having fun by herself on the road, doing some nasty tricks that could probably kill if it wasn't her driving. "Man I am stuck with Mr. Grumpy over here listening to his old war tunes. Miller grumbles out loud, putting his hand on his chin, and his elbow outside the window. He had watched Naddy the whole time to pass the time, and boy, was she free spirit and wild.

Pulling up the old and rather shady runway, "Uhm, you sure this is where we have to sto- he says, but then was cut off by Cole leaving the car. "It is." he said with a frown.

"I'll go get us a room. You can go talk to your girlfriend now" says Cole, with Miller replying "Oh wow, so you can tease if you try!" he says back to him as he walks into the shady building, face full of smiles.

"My my, cheap motel. You two sure do know how to make a girl feel special" Naddy utters, "Well it's not my idea of a first date either." he replies back with a Banter, grinning ear to ear at her. Staying situated in his seat, he tried ruffling through some of his cds but only found sound weird tunes, "What does Cole listen to." he says outloud. Naddy getting out of her vehicle, in the eyes of Miller, this was a very 'sexy' act. "guess it's just me and you then." she says, "I guess so!" he replies with another smirk "I would ask some teasing thing by now, but I wanna know, why all the tats? I mean they look sexy n' all but, can't help wonder." he asks with a raised eyebrow.

Thomas was thankful that it was a gifted who he had found, and that he didn't mind other gifted. Or, at least, that's what Thomas thought. Thomas put his arms down, and listened to the person, who he now knew to be called Lucky, tell him what his gift was. Making people forget you could be useful, but Thomas liked his own power better.

Lucky asked Thomas his name, "I'm Thomas," he said, "Nice to meet you,"

Then, Lucky asked Thomas what his gift was, "I can make people not notice me," he told Lucky, "But only if they're not already looking at me."
