Adalene gave a smile to the girl, and said, "Oh I get that, school starts for me next week, and the workload gets pretty heavy. I stay on top of it well though." She then gave her a measured look, contemplating on if she'd join her for food or not. She'd already planned dinner for tonight, but pizza was tempting, and was almost certainly better than anything she could cook. "I.. I don't know." She said uncertainly. Adalene ended up shaking her head. "I have some pork I need to get rid of, but I'd love to do something some other time!" She said, giving a awkward smile, "What're you doing tomorrow night?" She asked, walking away from the pantry, and pulling out her phone.

She did a quick scroll into her calendar, and confirmed she was indeed free tomorrow night, "I don't have anything planned yet, so that'd work out pretty well for me." It was at this point that Adalene face palmed, and slipped her phone back into her pocket. "I just realized, we're making plans and I don't even know your name." She said with a laugh, "And I don't think I've given you mine. Adalene." She said, "Adalene Jones. And you are?" She asked. She didn't make a habit of getting to know her neighbors, not because she didn't like people, she just was normally far too busy with her life already. One more friend was never a bad thing though.

@FantasyChic Ryan looked towards Quinn noticing her jump a little when he came in, raising an eyebrow towards her for a moment. "Are you getting sick again?" He asked when Quinn admitted that she had felt off during the morning, he then followed behind her towards the lab, he had just gotten there himself as he looked at Quinn once more. He shook his head towards her, he didn't know much of the story itself just small bits when he woke up in the morning to get ready. "Not really aside from the area where she was killed, my younger sister goes to the university there." He said, as he went over towards a set of bones he had been assembling before Quinn got in. "Was just about finishing setting up when you clocked in." He said looking over towards her.

@Natsu She followed Adalene towards the kitchen area, taking out her phone for a moment to look at her class schedule and then over towards Adalene. "I have class earlier in the day but my evening should be clear." She said looking towards her neighbor, she had always been pretty busy and rarely had any free time to herself either. "Sarah Smith." She said, due to her constant schedule she didn't have much time to know her neighbors either aside from mooching off occasionally on stuff like detergent and other things. "Tomorrow evening is a date, and thank you once more." She said brightly before making her way towards the door. "Oh yeah your number to, that way we can you know stay in contact and stuff, in case we do get busy."

@Damo021 The family looked up at Aaliyah and gave her a friendly smile. "Thank you." The kid said as he started to take a drink from his coke. Once he had his food and drink he put his phone away and started to get to work on eating as well, the family was starting to talk as well. One of the waiters walked past Aaliyah nearly bumping into her, as he went into the kitchen to grab an order from the kitchen to bring out to a customer. There was a young man waiting at the front of the store waiting for a waiter to take him to a table quietly humming to himself while occasionally sending out a text.

@Morose @BlueSky44 There luckily wasnt anything that was broken or dented while Jason and Janelle went to put the stuff away, the move over to the crash scene itself wasnt that far either, they would easily be able to see Scott across the street. The crash scene was pretty much about done and getting wrapped up, the officers that were on the scene were taking their final statements as well as exchanging information on what had happened and numbers. The ladies that were there looked towards Scott for a moment before nodded slightly as they walked off, as an officer took their statements. Leaving Scott and Gideon there on the side of the sidewalk. The fire hydrant that he crashed his car into earlier. Gideon look gave Scott an odd look, he looked slightly distressed seeing his car being driven off. "What is it?" He asked finishing up a phone call with the insurance company, in the corner of Scott's eye he could see Jason and Janelle as well.

@AmethystDagger Cynthia's office was pretty quiet for the most part as everyone else went on about their duties, there was a knock on the door, as a head poked in, it was Cynthia's Randal boss an older man. He was always one of those people who was very friendly and very understanding. He would check in on the employees and seeing how they are. "How are things Cynthia?" He asked, as he leaned up against the entrance to the office, he gave Gerald a friendly smile as the intern headed out of the room to grab what Cynthia had ordered.

@SouffleGirl123 A slightly younger man wheeled himself over towards Lucinda's work station after she had finished up her phone call, and gave his coworker a gentle poke on her shoulder. Pushing his glasses up against the bridge of his nose and smiled at her, he was a good friend and helped pass the time when there were the slow days, and the man was also a bit of a nerd as well. "So, hows that story that the boss gave ya, any leads?" He asked her.

@rivaan The stand owner nodded and went right away and started to make Amelia's hotdog, it didn't take long at all as the man handed it over towards her. The dog instantly perked up when Amelia handed it some food, and quickly wolfed it all down rather quickly without much of a thought. But it quickly followed along side Amelia as she made her way towards the electronic store, it then sat down at the outside of the store tilting its head to the side a bit. Luckily inside Amelia's phone the SD card wasn't damaged, the other parts of the phone pretty made the thing a useless paperweight. Inside the store wasn't that busy about three customers were in, the front of the store had all of the cheap burner phones that were in Amelia's price range.

Olivia gave Claire a friendly smile and nod, as she went to get the coffee while Claire was reading Olivia's mind she would hear about herself, like Claire is a nice person so far, and just general thoughts on the encounter so far. As well as a few work related things and other cases that she had been asked to examine. When Olivia came to the table she sat down and handed over Claire's coffee and gave her a slight smile before going to take a drink of her own.

"So, mind reading have you arrested anyone with it?" Olivia asked jokingly as she went to take another drink, her eyes wondering over towards the window seeing the rain hitting the window, and the people outside. She ran a hand through her wet hair and sighed slightly as she did her best to try and dry it all out.

Scott spotted a pair of gingers out of the corner of his eye, but he decided to ignore them. Seattle was a large city, filled with tons of people. There was no reason why someone else wouldn't come to gawk at the scene of the crash. Of course, he knew that his reason was likely better than whatever one the gingers had. He shifted his weight before smiling widely at Gideon, waiting until the officers were out of earshot. "PCP? Weed? Cocaine? LSD? Which was it?" Scott began. "Were you on anything, bud? Because if you were, then this is a waste of my time and yours."

"But if you were sober, then I have some questions for you," Scott continued. "You told the cops that someone appeared in your car out of nowhere. Did you see a girl die last night in Philly, like it was a fucking Saw remake?" Scott inquired. If he was right - and he was pretty sure he was - then there was another person just like him in Seattle. "Now, I don't mean watching snuff films or anything like that - I mean being physically here and mentally there, watching the girl get slaughtered. Did that happen to you?"

Jace and Janelle walked over to the scene, and saw that there wasn't much left. He wondered what had happened to cause the accident, but it didn't look like many people could respond to that question anymore. The police were getting ready to head out from the look of things, but there were still a few people hanging around, so they might have some idea as to what had happened. Jace caught a glimpse of a few people across the street, one of them looked familiar, like he'd seen him in Seattle somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place his face.

"So, from the sound of it, the accident wasn't too serious and no one got seriously injured?" Janelle asked her brother as they stood on the sidewalk. The sounds of the police sirens and other vehicles were loud in her ears, but they didn't bug her, not like they used to anyway. She could feel Jace tense up next to her, and it made her curious as to why. "What's wrong?" she asked him, and Jace knew he couldn't keep much from her, it was sometimes a little creepy.

"Yeah, so the crash wasn't too bad from the look of things. It's just, I swear I've seen that guy somewhere before," he said, quickly describing Scott to his sister. "I might just be going crazy, but with everything that has been happening, I could just be imagining things".

Janelle didn't think so, and after a moment of silence between them, she spoke again. "Well, how about we go over to him and get a closer look, if you aren't sure about something, just go and check or something like that. There is no need to just sit here doing nothing. Pike Place can wait a little longer".

Jace just shrugged his shoulders, before leading her across the street to where Scott and Gideon were standing. They both looked familiar, and he couldn't quite place their faces. He was pretty sure he had seen Scott somewhere, almost positive on that one, and Gideon it felt like he'd seen him too. It was probably weird, walking up to them without saying anything. "Uh, excuse me. I was wondering, have we met before? Cause I swear I've met you before," he said.

Amelia sighed in relief when she found her SD card pretty undamaged. Probably all the electronics protected it when her power surged. Maybe she'd do well to buy leather gloves or something to make sure the electricity cannot torch things she touches. Though maybe not... she wasn't exactly in the money to buy good pair of leather gloves. She threw a glance at the dog that was now tailing her as if it was her new friend. She didn't really like dogs much. Maybe even disliking them a little, but it made her feel weirdly okey as it was accompanying her. Maybe it was the man's best friend and all that.

As she made her way into the store, the burner phones caught her attention right away. They weren't what you'd call marvel of engineering, but they would do the job and the job was calling people with your phone. She thought for a little and headed to the person behind the counter.” Excuse me, I wish to buy a cheap burner phone. I was thinking that one...” Amelia said quietly, not really wanting to have to buy a separate device like mp3 player or something to listen to music, though thinking it through maybe buying a cheap mp3 player was a better idea. She pointed at a phone that was in the middle of the burner phones.

“Ahh thank you~!” Claire whistled and took her coffee as Olivia joined her on the table. It place was mostly empty, probably because the people were at work, but overall it was nice pleasant place. Smiling she took a sip from it. It filled her core with warmth and the bitter feeling of the coffee because she put on sugar in it.” Hehehe, nice. This is indeed a great place for coffee, shame I didn't know about it till now.” She made a mental note about it, maybe she'd come by while on patrol duty next time, to grab a few cups for the road.

“With mind reading? Not exactly...” The cop replied with a soft laughter, amused by the situation. Discussing superpowers with a ME in a coffee shop. This had the perfect premise for a tv show! All they needed was a weird sidekick and the trio will be complete.” You cannot exactly use 'I read his mind' as evidence, you know.” She explained.” That said, I now can read where they hide evidence, make 'logical' deductions about where the evidence is, or point colleagues towards it. On a fun side, I busted the first guy I read the mind of. He was trying to drug girls in a club... The moron... just reached into his chest pocket and there the pills were.” She added and smirked.” You should have seen the look of my colleagues when I brought him in, dressed on a cocktail dress and all.”

Quinn felt nervous under Ryan's gaze. It was so unlike her. She enjoyed working with him and he was a pretty good friend. Still, recent events had left her dazed and confused. Was she sick? Maybe this was all a fever dream? Little sleep? Yeah, that had to be it. Maybe she fell asleep on the bus and had a vivid dream? It felt real. She put her hand to the bump she had after the accident.

"Yeah, I must be feeling a bit off. Sorry. Shall we?" She referenced the bones in front of her and relished getting started. She enjoyed her work. Not many people nowadays could say that. She thought about the long road to get here and was thankful she got where she was. A job she liked, friends she appreciated.

Family that was far, far away. What more could she want?

If her mind weren't reeling Lucinda probably would have noticed the squeak of an approaching chair among the chatter of her co-workers and taps of the keyboards. Instead, her mind was lost on the murder. The more she knew the more questions she had... questions that couldn't be solved by analysing the crime scene or the woman. Questions like how had she seen it happen? Why? Who killed her? Was Lucinda next? Did this link to her powers? Questions she was no quite sure she wanted an answer to. Suddenly she was pulled out of it by a poke on her shoulder. Lucinda, who was lost in possibly life threatening thoughts jumped slightly in her seat before swivelling around to see Justin, pushing his glasses up against the bridge of his nose and smiling at her. Justin was a good friend and often helped pass the time through slow days. Lucinda enjoyed his company more than her other co-workers.

"So, how's that story that the boss gave ya, any leads?" He asked her. Lucinda slumped in her seat.

"Scarcely," she sighs, "I mean a lot too go off but it just... you know... it's just really inconclusive. The killer is completely unknown and her death was just... odd I guess..." Justin cocked his head, watching he oddly.

"Luce, are you alright?" he asks, "You're really tense,"

"Hmm?" Lucinda relaxes her shoulders in an attempt to look less tense, "Yeah, I'm fine, today's just been... crazy, I guess," she replies. "So, what are you working on today?" she asks in an attempt to steer the conversation from her. Perhaps Justin would forget abut how tense she was and not worry about her.

Adalene nodded at Sarah, and took out her phone, and dictated out her number to her. Afterwards, she slipped it back into her pocket and said, "I'll be sure to text you tomorrow to make sure, see you then!" Before waving Sarah off, and closing the door behind her. Adalene smiled to herself, happy about being able to find a shred of normality in her current life. Just because her hands could burst into flames at any moment didn't mean she couldn't also have friends and a social life. In truth, she hadn't really seen much of anybody since she burned her friends apartment to the ground. A part of her was worried about hurting anybody, but she was determined beyond belief to not let that happen. She relocked her door, and walked over into her bedroom to fetch her day planner.

She stepped into her bedroom, and opened up her bedside drawer. Within laid her day planner, a few pens and pencils, and a backup planner. She took out out her current one, and made a note to have dinner with Sarah tomorrow, along with a few other items while she was in there. She reserved a few hours for her to try to find a place where she could practice her powers without risking a house fire, and also some time to research the murder she'd heard about earlier. Satisfied with her plans, she tucked it away back into her drawer, and laid back on her bed for a moment. She still had no idea how that girl managed to pop out of existence, or how she just appeared in her house, or even who she even was. This all rubbed Adalene the wrong way, and she intended to figure out what the hell was going on as soon as possible.

Cynthia eagerly welcomed Randal inside of her office. He was a kind man, with bright crow's feet around his eyes. He also had some noticeable lines of stress, ones that all lawyers obtained after enough time on the job. He was actually the owner of the firm, and although he had a lot on his case, he was always pleasant. Shortly after asking her how she was feeling, he took a seat at her desk. She didn't mind of course, a glance at her clock told her she had plenty of time to kill. The day was going by so slowly. She was thankful for this distraction.

Setting down her pen, she leaned back in her desk. Before, she had been rather stiff with Randal, suspecting he was setting her up for failure. It didn't take long for her to realize that his charisma was as natural as it was true, and after only a month at the firm she had gladly calmed down in his presence. "To tell you the truth, Randal, things have been rather...complicated, as of late."

Concern flashed in his aged, grey eyes. He, like all the others at the firm, was informed about why she had taken so much time off. In fact, he had stopped by her home and offered her a gift basket that everyone had pitched in on. "How so, Cynthia?"

Cynthia sighed deeply through her nose, wishing she could spill her secrets. Unfortunately, she could only offer him the doctored tale. So she began her rant, telling him about her recent nightmares and stress. She drew out the conversation, not wanting him to leave. Despite him being her boss, she was lucky enough to know he was trustworthy and she could confide in him.

@FantasyChic Ryan gave her a slight nod, and smiled slightly. "I'll start looking up and see if there are any dental records on the teeth of the vic then." Ryan said as he started to inspect the teeth and started to head over towards the nearby computer to start with. When Finley got a better look at the bones that were assembled they were burned pretty badly. Whoever the person was they died from a fire, the set of bones were found a three weeks ago the bones were the only thing that was left of the person. She'd also notice that part of the skull was cleanly cut open at the top, it was oddly similar to the whole dream she had the night before.

@Natsu There wasn't many places that Adalene could go out and practice her powers in secret, mainly being in a huge bustling city like New York, there was the top floor of the apartment to practice. But she'd be right in the open if she chose to, there wasn't much going on in the small apartment. The weather however seemed to start to lighten up a bit, as the rain started to slow down for now, the apartment was fairly quiet now that Sarah had left. Though she could hear a muffled argument in the apartment next to hers through the bedroom, otherwise the room was fairly clear.

@Damo021 Once Aaliyah finally acknowledged him he gave her a slight smile and nod. "It's all good." He said calmly as he set his phone back into his pocket and started to follow shortly behind the woman to an open table. There was a small table that was clear near the window, outside the weather seemed to start to clear up a little bit. It was still dark and cloudy, but the rain itself was lightening up a bit now. Once at the table the man gave her a friendly smile before taking his seat at the table. "Thank you." He said towards her waiting for the menu to be handed out.

@Morose @BlueSky44 Gideon looked towards Scott for a moment and scoffed rolling his eyes when he asked if he was on any form of drugs, which he clearly wasn't, not even a scent of alcohol on him either. "I'm not high or drunk." Gideon said defensively as he crossed his arms over his chest. Then he started to look surprised when Scott started to bring up the murder that he had seen just the night before, he awkwardly looked away for a moment and gave a slight nod. "Yeah, why?" He asked as he looked to see both Jason and Janelle coming up towards them. Jason would instantly be able to recognize the two from their dreams last night, the scene itself seemed to start to clear out as the remaining officers started to leave the scene itself.

@AmethystDagger Randal looked at Cynthia as she started to talk about the more stressful parts of her life, the job was stressful as it is already. And having recently recovering from the sickness, he gently patted Cynthia on the shoulder in a comforting way letting out a slight sigh feeling a bit bad for her. "I could give you the rest of the day off if you are feeling stressed out, I know you are still probably recovering from your sickness." Randal offered looking towards Cynthia.

@SouffleGirl123 Justin looked towards Lucinda for a moment when she asked him what he was working on, looking over at his computer for a moment. He mainly worked on the spelling errors that people often missed, and then make the necessary corrections. "Just working on doing spelling errors. "Oh you know, just putting the edits in that you folks get missed spelled and putting in corrections, and making sure that the sources are in there, the usual boring stuff." Justin answered

"No problem at all." Said Olivia as she leaned forward looking at Claire with a bit of interest as she started to mention about her first bust with her powers, which was pretty interesting. She found out about her powers only because she dropped a scalpel and that cut her hand. Olivia looked around for a moment before she just decided to show off her ability in person as she reached for her own coffee, and started to stick her finger inside.

Visibly wincing in pain as she stuck her finger inside, letting her finger get purposely get burnt before pulling it out which was now blistering and bright red. Then it quickly started to heal itself and returned to normal before Claire's eyes. "Dropped a scalpel while I was closing up shop one evening and cut myself and watched it heal instantly after that." Olivia said the customers were a bit to bus focusing on other things to notice.

---

---

As Amelia entered the shop, the man looked at her for a moment and nodded. "Sure thing miss." He said as he headed over to the glass cabinet and started to pull out a burner phone. They were simple and cheap, and easy to come by, for people who don't have the budget to get a really fancy phone like other people had. "That would be about thirty dollars." He said as he got ready to start the transaction for the phone.

In the corner of Amelia's eye she would see Riley in the room, looking confused once more as she groaned loudly running a hand through her hair. "Again?" Riley said as she turned her, it was the second time today now that this was actually happening to her which was pretty annoying to her. But she did recognize that she was still in the LA area somewhere.

---

"No, you're not," Scott agreed, still continuing to size Griffin up. "But after what I'm about to tell you, you might want to be," he then added, before clapping Gideon on the back. It was meant as a friendly gesture but getting clapped on the back by a merc would technically qualify as having someone crack you up against the back - it'd hurt. Scott did know his own strength, but he was also used to dealing with other mercs - people who have seen so much violence that some of their nerves had been deadened slightly through the abuse. Maybe Scott's mannerisms and humor would put Gideon at ease - maybe they wouldn't. It didn't matter to him either way.

He then turned around, seeing two ginger kids. His expression was hard when he regarded the brother, but softened when he saw the sister. She looked to be about his daughter's age. However, as the boy mentioned that they had seen each other before, Scott grinned widely and laughed. "This is terrible, for fuck's sake," Scott said, still laughing. The officers had left the scene - which was good. "Yeah, we all know each other. Hell, you two saw the murder in Phile as well, didn't you? Saw that little piece of ass getting ripped to shreds?"

"You see, I'm willing to bet that we're all alike," Scott continued. He noticed a bit of metal that had come off in the crash - must have been from the bumper. "We're all freaks," he said, as he held out his hand and the piece of the bumper shot upwards, hovering for about five seconds. He then shut his hand and it dropped as he broke his concentration.

“T-t...thank you.” She said quietly to the store clerk as she was brought the new phone. Amelia quickly with really and clearly a lil nervously brought her wallet to see if she had the money, but then realized she didn't have the cash on hand. She rarely had much cash on hand as she didn't have much money to begin with so she mostly kept it in her cards. She pulled her card instead and quickly went through the process of playing with it. She was a ball of nerves cause she was the metaphorical elephant in a store about glass crafts... She could probably fry everything in here if hse wasn't careful. Luckily it wasn't happening. Thus as soon as she had her phone, she switched her card into it and turned it on. She felt a little happy and at least she wouldn't lose her job if they called her for overtime or something...

Then just as she was about to exit in the corner of her eyes she saw something and realized what it was as she turned towards it. It was Riley!!! Amelia froze in place, her eyes locked on the woman, her face displaying a mix of fear, excitement and nervousness. She didn't know what had happened, but she knew that others probably didn't see Riley otherwise they would be reacting to her. She herself didn't know what to see as she stood there staring, then realized that the clerk would probably think she was either up to something or wondering what she was doing. She wanted to say something, but couldn't... she was also nervous that it was Riley! She liked her songs a lot and was thinking about the musician since she saw her in those dream visions, but now didn't know what to do. Was Riley dangerous for her? Was she dangerous for Riley? What was happening, all she knew was that she was currently staring at the woman, before she suddenly looked around nervously and really slowly started walking towards the exit. She was no one... Riley probably wouldn't even speak to her! Yes, better just return home, lock herself alone and curl under the blanket!

---

As Olivia placed her finger in the hot coffee, Claire had the natural instinct to reach out and stop her, but she realized it was the other showing her powers. Not that it wouldn't hurt, but she supposed it was the only way to show her powers of healing aka hurt herself first. What Claire wasn't looking forward was the feeling and thoughts of pain that filled her mind, originating from Olivia. The cop couldn't help herself from wincing as she clenched the same hand that Olivia used to display her powers.

As soon as Olivia pulled her hand away from the coffee and it healed, Claire reached over and touched it, smiling, before her face turned into one hell of a grimace. She was not pleased.” Do not do that needlessly anymore...” She let out a really coldly calm soft voice, before sighing.” Seriously, Olivia... I just read and partially felt the emotions... Do not do that anymore without need. I believed you for it even without demostration... Otherwise I will start taking you for masochist...” She smiled and said jokingly, before raising a hand and calling to the person at person behind the counter.” One cold water, please. Thank you.” She said with an attractive smile.

“So... ever met some of the others in person?” She asked, smiling at Olivia, waiting for the cold water to be delivered.

Janelle listened, and clearly heard the man talk about the girl in Philadelphia. She heard more of saw, and part of her wanted to respond, when she heard him move something with a clatter. The two were interesting characters, that was for sure. "Actually, I didn't really see her killed, more of heard it," she said. This guy was a little weird, though from what she could gather from the sounds and the fact that he hadn't moved, his power was probably telekinesis.

Her brother was trying to figure out how to respond. The one guy seemed to not really get what was going on, the other one seemed to not care and was perfectly happy to show off his abilities without a care in the world. Whoever he was, he definitely was a little bit strange. "Well, your probably right about that one, especially because of, well, what you just did," Jace said as he looked at the other two who were there.

It was nice that the street was becoming less crowded because of the police finishing their work. Janelle could hear everyone walking away, and her brother was sounding like an idiot in her opinion. That might have something to do with her knowing him well. The way he had ended that sentence made her want to laugh, and she put her hand to her mouth to prevent a snicker from jumping out. The way their day had been going, laughing at Jason would probably not make things any better.

He shot a glare at his sister, knowing perfectly well that she couldn't see his expression. Now was not the time to be laughing at his expense, but he didn't say anything to her. "So, since from the sound of it we're all in the same boat, did you have a weird thing happen to you earlier? Like you were transported somewhere, or someone else popped up in front of you or something? Thought I'd ask about it".

While Quinn was in work mode, she often fought outside thoughts. However, this was different. The bones themselves were your standard fare that she saw on a regular basis. The bones were dark, most likely burned. Considering this was all that was left of the person, it was probably a safe bet fire was used to either kill or to hide.

However, what struck Quinn the most was the skull. It was cut open at the top. Looking at it brought a weird sense of deja vu she didn't catch it at first. Once she remembered, she let out a small gasp. It had been similar to her nightmare before. She was almost terrified to see what the dental records would show. Surely it wasn't the same person. Could it be another victim? Would they be dealing with a serial killer?

Before she would let her thoughts race any more, she would wait for Ryan to come back with the results. In the meantime, she would process the bones like she did normally.

Lucinda watched as Justin's watchful gaze slipped from her face to his computer, almost forlornly. "Oh you know, just putting the edits in that you folks get missed spelled and putting in corrections, and making sure that the sources are in there, the usual boring stuff." Justin answered.

"Oh fun times," Lucinda replies dryly, poking his shoulder. She swivels her chair back to her computer, staring at the blank word document. She was clueless of how to start this, not really because her skills were failing her but that her mind screamed the possibilities of her future. The dream, the beast, the powers, what it all meant for her. She groaned and buried her head in her hands

Adalene closed her eyes as she relaxed. She knew it would be pretty hard to find any kind of place she could safely practice, but she had a few ideas. She could probably find some old abandoned brick building, and practice there at night. so long as she was careful. That was the only real problem with her recently developed abilities, they were not only too conspicuous,but too dangerous. The last thing she wanted was to hurt an innocent person. She lid her hands back behind her head, and shuddered. Burning to death was a painful way to go, so painful she wasn't sure if she'd even ever want to be a superhero, nobody deserved that kind of torment.

Her ears zoned into the arguing voices next to her. She didn't like to eavesdrop, but if people were dumb enough to be loud in a New York Apartment, they were practically begging to be listened to in the first place. Adalene roled over onto her stomach, and pressed her hear against the wall, if she was gonna do this, she may as well go all out. She held her breath for moment to steady it, and leaned in. She'd have loved to have just had a moment of rest, but her her neighbors were going to disturb her peace, she had a right to know why.

@FantasyChic It took about ten minutes or so until Ryan ended up getting the results back from the dental records that he was able to scrunch up. He was about to print the relative information out for Quinn when he heard her gasp, as he got up he did find it a little bit weird. Sure working with human remains was a little bit creepy, but there really wasn't anything that surprised Ryan at the job as he made his way over towards Quinn with the paper. "Are you okay Quinn?" He asked setting the paper down next to him as Ryan looked towards her, before turning his attention back to the paper. "So found the name in the dental records, his name was Damien Smith." He said looking towards her.

@Natsu As Adalene listened in on the argument it sounded like it was getting really heated now. "You are a god damned cheater you know that?!" A man's voice could be heard on the other end, then there was what sounded like something being thrown across the room, Adalene could feel the wall thud slightly after whatever was chucked across the room. "You know what? Fine i'll fucking leave!" The woman yelled back just as loudly, then there was a loud door slam from the other end of the wall. Then the whole apartment suddenly got quiet once more.

@Damo021 The man smiled towards Aaliyah once he had been seated and started to look at the menu then looking up at her. "Id like a beer if that's okay." He asked, as he watched her heading off, the restaurant seemed to be slowing down now somewhat as the people there, there were a few waitresses there talking a little bit before looking towards Aayliah and gave her a friendly smile and wave. "How are you feeling?" One of them asked, some of them had heard that she ran into the bathroom after all.

@Morose @BlueSky44 Gideon stumbled forward slightly when Scott gave him a rather hard smack to his shoulder, he turned to look at what looked like a pair of ginger siblings, and raised an eyebrow towards them for a moment. Before turning his attention back at Scott as he started to display his powers. His jaw dropped for a moment as he stared at the floating bit of metal, rubbing the back of his neck. "Damn, so i'm not the only freak around seeing people, and powers." He said, looking around he spotted a lamppost, he held out his hand as the light went out, and then was now in his hand. Looking at the two siblings Jason and Janelle when he mentioned seeing someone. "Yeah some random chick appeared in my car next to me." He answered them.

@SouffleGirl123 Justin moved his chair to get it close towards Lucinda's desk looking over at the blank word document that was now on the screen. He looked towards her and gave her a slight nudge with his arm. "You know, staring at a blank computer screen all day wont get itself written." He said teasingly and nudged her once more, before pushing his chair back towards his cubicle putting on some music, though it was low, she'd be able to hear one of Riley's songs on the radio, which Lucinda would remember seeing the rock star in that same dream as well.

Olivia looked towards Claire and rolled her eyes and then couldn't help but laugh slightly as she looked back at her finger, still was very weird to her. Her attention went back towards Claire when she asked if she had seen any of the others, in person and shook her head slightly letting out a slight sigh. "No, your the first one I've personally seen. I think theres a forensic anthropologist here in New York, I remember seeing the face once briefly at some crime scene a very long time ago." Olivia answered, as she looked towards the waiter when Claire asked for a cold glass of water.

The waiter gave a slight nod before turning around and started to leave to go and grab what Claire had asked, the café was pretty quiet, as Olivia leaned back in her seat. "What about you, have you seen anyone from the dream?" She finally asked, feeling that there was a slight awkward silence. A few seconds later the waiter came back with the cold glass of water setting it down on the table. "Can I get you ladies anything else?" He asked looking between both Olivia and Claire, which Olivia shook her head.

Riley looked around the store that she was in, it looked like an electronics store, when she turned around Riley looked directly towards Amelia seeing the girl staring directly at her. Knowing that look it was the same reaction that she had just a few moments ago, then Amelia quickly bolted out of the store. Sighing loudly Riley needed someone to talk to as she quickly went forward and started to catch up towards Amelia.

"Hey wait, you can see me as well right?" Riley asked her, when a person suddenly walked through her and when Riley did manage to catch up she laid a hand on her shoulder. Which they both did feel the touch causing her to stumble back slightly, it was still so weird for her, being taken to one place and seeing strangers was really weird to her.

Yeah this was not something she expected to happen. Amelia had panicked out of her mind upon seeing Riley. She never expected to even get a distant glimpse at the singer and since they started seeing these visions, Amelia believed it would be better to never meet. She was afraid of all of the others in the visions and feared that the singer might not be friendly or happy to be in this situation.

As she bolted out the store, she took a turn to the Alley, but before she can get anywhere substantially into it, she felt a hand on her shoulder. The shivers ran down her back as if someone put a pack of ice in there. She jolted backwards, feeling a spark surge down her skin. Luckily she didn't held onto anything breakable or touch anyone.

She looked at Riley with a mixture of fear and awe, but she held onto her own hands, keeping them at chest level, pressed at her coat as if to bring exposure and chance to touch anyone to minimum.” Y...yes....” She managed to barely whisper an answer now that she was pulled into the conversation, but hey at least they weren't in the middle of the sidewalk. People rarely looked at the alleys. Still she was afraid of Riley. The other woman was someone who had prestige, money and was famous. That and because she was seeing her in visions she knew she was tied to this situation. Amelia's shoulders were trembling slightly.” Please... I didn't call you here... I'm not responsible.” She was mumbling random excuses to thing that weren't even said to her.” I just saw someone else too... they appread on their own as well... I didn't cause you this problem, I swear...”

“Well you aside, I think I may have passed a face down the road, but as you can guess it's not exactly small city." She sighed and shrugged her shoulders.” You I recognized for sure because I remembered you from the crime scenes I've been at.” The cop explained with a smile, also throwing a look at the rain. It made for a nice scenery if nothing else, that and it deafened the sound of the everyday city, making the usually banal landscapes of hurried existence appear calm and gentle for even a moment.

“No thank you. Here's the bill.” She added with a smile directed at the waiter as she handed over the money with a decent tip. Given how close he was to them right now, she couldn't help it and read fragments of his thoughts. The way he planned to spend the time after his shift with friends.

Waiting for the man to walk away, she turned back to Olivia.” Look given what happened last night... you should be extra careful from now on even with your healing.” She stated with serious voice.” Do not move alone at night and ...actually... here.” She said suddenly, pulled her phone typing in her number and showing it to Olivia for the other owman to copy it and save it down.” Here save this one, it's my number if something's up you can call me. I should be over as soon as possible, no matter the time of day.” She smiled. Frankly the situation was not good if they had killer on the loose. It could have been a coincidence one of their type was killed, but dammit she highly doubted it. Her inner cop intuition was telling her this was too coincedental to be a coincedence.
