There was silence in the sewers for a brief moment, only for a few second, in those few second Elijah could only imagine his plan worked. The noises around him started to quiet down until the only thing he could hear was the flowing water and the faint pulse of the two super humans before him. Elijah tried some breathing exercises to regulate his heart beat, using his power so much in such a short time took it's toll. He feared that even if this plan worked, they would hear his heavy breathing. The sewer was silent for a brief moment. The moment of silence and hope shattered like a pane of glass falling on concrete, that moment when he'd heard John's voice, louder than ever. His voice projected to Elijah like megaphone, and when Elijah heard his words, he knew his plan had failed. 

Elijah gave it no thought, but his instincts kicked in and he tried to run. He may have gotten a single step in before something grabbed him. This grip was intense, and it was cloaking him like a blanket. He could move his arms through this grip but his body seemed trapped, he started to get pulled in the direction of the two he was following until he was finally in view. From the rooftops of his building, it was hard to make out the details of their faces, but they were clear as day now. Elijah started to panic again, he feared for his life. That theory about them hunting people with powers was the only thing he could think of, this was his anxiety acting up again. John spoke again, Elijah's ears nearly popped as it was amplified by Elijah power. "I-I-I'm no one... Please! I was just trying to scare you guys." Elijah said, glancing over to Amelia who was carrying Jerome, "I s-saw you guys a few blocks from the burning building, where he's from." Elijah kept talking, "I know you guys are different. Like me! I heard you guys were going to Haven and I wanted to know what was there." Elijah, the more he talked the more he calmed, the idea of these two being a part of the group who was hunting supers started to dissipate. Elijah thought, if they knew he was just a teenager, they would leave him be.
