"Yeah, bet he'd love to shove it up the ass of another guy," Scott said, grinning at Gideon. He wasn't gay but he had no qualms with pointing out the flaws in those lines of reasoning. Yeah, what a terrific insult - saying that daddy dearest wanted to do it with a man. If anything, Scott felt flattered. He apparently had charming enough looks to sleep with both of Gideon's parents. It was a real compliment. Not an insult at all. He then looked at Isley, still having a smug grin on his face. "I'm a Green Beret, sweetheart," he explained honestly. "Done some shit far uglier than having to drink someone's repurified piss in order to survive. And don't regret any of it. Go on, ask me how many confirmed kills I had."

Scott shrugged, brushing off the sympathy from Janelle. He still didn't even know why he'd mentioned his daughter to her. He crossed his arms and clammed up. He wasn't going to justify his choices. His daughter was the product of a one night stand, given up for adoption before he was even home from tour. He didn't know about her existence before it was too late. And with the kind of life he led, it was better for him to just remain a mystery in the kid's head.

“Ehhh... no need... I'd do it myself.” She said, her face turning a certain shade darker from the embarrassment. She had to pack up underwear and the like too. She naturally didn't want others to see it. So since she was only bringing clothing of direct necessity after all. She looked away and quickly hopped to where she kept a luggage bag. It wasn't the biggest one out there but she could fit quite a few of her clothing in there.

“I'm from here... I mean from LA to begin with.” She quickly explained.” Been living here in Los Angeles all my life. What about you, Riley?” She added with a shrug, her mind wandering for a moment, her hands stopping gathering clothing. Amelia was thinking about what she wanted to do eventually. Maybe move out of LA, get to see more of the world? She shook her head to focus and resumed working on the luggage being gathered up. She didn't have that many of clothing to choose from. Not that she didn't have enough clothing she had more than enough, but it was all samey with similar patterns or straight out duplicates since she bought cheaply after all for most things. The most expensive piece of clothing she owned was her coat. It was a nice coat after all.

She then jolted when the neighbor made his presence known in his usual manner. She looked at Riley who was being inquisitive about it and nodded.” All the time... Lately it's been getting worse, especially after I fell sick and my powers surfaced.” She explained and looked at the bathroom.” When my powers first appeared I spend days here without leaving any because I couldn't control them and lightning was hitting all the time. I think he got even angrier after that noise. Not that he was nicer before that with the harassement... He tried to grab my ...” She stopped herself from speaking any further and blushed.” Doesn't matter really!” She said waving her hands in dismissing manner.

Having separated from the two women, Claire drove off to her place without much wasting of time happening. A few traffic lights and the like was all she spend most time waiting on, but overall within reasonable time she got back home and quickly parked the car on her usual spot. Then having exited the car she pulled her umbrella to protect from the rain, walked all the way to the front door of the apartment complex and entered it, closing the umbrella as she did so. Then she proceeded to get to her home and close the door loudly over the sound of the earlier renovation or construction happening. She was not happy about that but whatever.

“Home, sweet home~” She whistled, throwing the jacket on the hanging rack, putting her keychain in the usual place on the main table in case she had to bolt for somewhere at a moment's notice and walked to the bedroom where she undressed from what she was wearing and switched the her rather unique sleepwear which was actually a black silk cultist looking robe complete with a hood and red symbols all around. It was comfi though so that was all that mattered. With that prep done, she threw herself on the bloody red bedsheets, wrapped herself tightly and went to sleep in her jolly bedroom which would probably creep or weird out people if they found out all the sigils and runes on the wall and the magic circles completely with a jagged looking dagger hanging on the wall for maximum cultist vibes.

Adalene gave a sigh of relief when Emmie dissuaded her fears of being tracked by the FBI. "A drug lord huh? Welcome to New York." She said, cracking a smile. Adalene gave a hmm when Emmie gave her her location. "Okay, You're like, an hour away from me." She said. She wasn't one for spontaneity, but extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures. "Alright, I'll head To Central Park Zoo entrance, we can meet up there after you uh... blink out of existence." She said, lacking a proper term for whatever she'd be doing. As Adalene talked, she slipped her shoes on, and walked ducked quickly into her room to grab her purse. "Does that sound alright to you?" Adalene asked.

She didn't like the idea of wondering the streets when she could very well be in danger, but she figured that, one, she wouldn't be attacked in broad daylight, and two, she was far from defenseless. From the switch blade in her purse to her well developed self defense capabilities, she didn't even need to worry about bursting into flames to keep herself safe. She was probably overthinking that though, as reasonably she'd be perfectly safe, she just needed to get out of her own head. Adalene looked back at Emmie, "Or hey, just spitballing here, you said you can only teleport places you've been before right?" She asked, "Have you been anywhere near here? Just to cut down on travel time." She asked. That was a question of pure convenience, since it was still raining out, and she didn't actually own a raincoat.

@Damo021 As Aaliyah sat down on the TV, the news was already on a few local stories were going on the weather for the rest of the week was going to be nice and warm for the next few days. As the news then switched over towards a breaking news story which happened to be at Aaliyah's work. "This was seen earlier caught on camera." It was taken on someone's cellphone of Aaliyah taking down the two men with ease. "More on this story after the break." And quickly the TV went back to some commercials.

@rivaan Claire would get about ten minutes of sleep before she would her the doorbell to her apartment going off, though it rang once and then three knocks on the door. If she got up she would be able to hear the person's thoughts and quickly picked up the name Trevor Kingston. Reciting Claire's address in his head, thinking he may have gotten the wrong door, that's if she wanted to answer the door to see what he wanted.

@Morose @BlueSky44 Gideon rolled his eyes towards Scott's comments he really didn't like the guy, at all he was really bugging the shit out of him a lot now. "Shut up." He said quietly as he went back to his drink, and looked out the window and leaned back listening to the others as they spoke. "I'll be there in about ten minutes it isn't that far from the office." Cynthia said as got out of the elevator and made her way towards the lobby. "I'll see you then." She said before hanging up. Isley thought about making a snide remark towards Scott not seeing his daughter, but that was way to low a blow towards him. "You still should get in contact with her." Isley said simply and looked towards Jason. "So what did the lawyer say?" She asked him.

---

---

---

Olivia gave a slight shrug she didn't know anything else other than what they all had experienced. "I'm just in the dark as you are." Olivia said with a slight sigh, she really wished that she could know what was going on with them, she however decided that this was a chance to get to know Quinn a little bit more. They were all now in the same boat now at this point, she was curious on how Quinn did find out about her powers anyway. "So, how did you find out about your power anyway?" Olivia asked, she honestly found out about her own through a stupid mistake of her own.

She looked around her office and got up, and made sure that she had closed the door, she didn't want anyone else to come into their conversation anyway. Her office was pretty much kept very neat and tidy everything was kept in a nice order with case files and reports where they should be. Olivia stared at a picture of her family for a moment before turning her attention back over towards Quinn.

---

---

---

---

Riley listened to Amelia as she spoke and smiled slightly she lived in LA for a very long time now, but she grew up in a much smaller town. "A small crap town called Grimm Indiana, though I moved around and lived in my car for awhile and gigged where I could before getting big." Riley said, she didn't really talk about her childhood very much, she didn't even talk about her family she'd talk about her twin of course. But she would never bring up her family at all, even in interviews she actually would walk off if it was brought up anywhere.

"Well you wont have to worry about him anymore." Riley said towards Amelia and gave her a smile, she really wanted to punch the guy, she had a feeling that he was a real perv or some kind of sex offender. "So ready to move out?" Riley asked as she walked over towards the door and opened it up looking over at Amelia and gave her a soft and friendly smile towards her.

---

---

---

"Sounds like a plan to me." Emmie said as she stared at Adalene as she moved towards her room, she decided to stay where she was, she didn't want to intrude on the woman's personal space anyway. She could go to the location fairly quickly since she had snuck into he zoo numerous times in the past. Emmie moved over towards the window as she looked down at a nearby alleyway that overlooked the ground below, she didn't recognize the area before turning her attention back towards Adalene as she spoke about her powers and thought for a moment and shrugged slightly.

"Got a street name, or some noticeable landmarks near here?" Emmie asked looking at Adalene, she had lived in New York all her life however she hadn't really explored every nook and cranny of the entire city. "If you could answer that it could cut travel time in half and save you gas money or walking whatever you use to get around the city." Emmie said giving Adalene a slight smile.

---

Quinn could appreciate the secrecy as Olivia stood up to check that they were not being listened to. She glanced around the office quickly as Olivia got up. Though the girls worked in similar professions, she had never met the girl. It wasn't so uncommon, their work was the same but rarely coincided. This dream was the only thing that could bring them together.

"It was when I was young. I hated playing any sports, but I was always good at it. I always assumed it ran in our family, but my brother was not great at sports either. Once I realized this, I pushed myself and discovered I could do weird things like I just demonstrated without much effort. What about you?"

---

---

---

"Alright, we'll see you when you get here then," he said as he hung up the phone, before he turned to look at the others, hearing their conversations. Sounded like Scott was making fun of Gideon still, at least for the most part. The guy needed to learn to be nice still, but for some reason his sister liked him enough. He was only tolerating him for Janelle, and that was it, well, more of publicly tolerating him. In his mind he was thinking how much he hated him

"I agree with her," Janelle said, nodding towards Isley in discussing what she had just said. "You should see about getting into contact with her, if you can... It wouldn't exactly kill you to talk to her would it? And if you are talking about how many people you've killed, calling your daughter should be an easy task..." she added, her head moving so it seemed she was staring more at the table than anyone else.

Jason looked at Isley in response to her question. "She managed to get off of work pretty early, cleared the rest of her schedule or whatever. Said she'll be able to meet us here in about 10 minutes or so," he said, before he just rolled his eyes at what his sister had said. The fact that his sister even cared about this guy made her wonder what went through her head, though what she had said at the end was a little bit of a cheap shot at Scott, and he had to hold back his laughter.

She nodded in response to her brother's statement about Cynthia. She was curious as to who this woman was, in person anyway. She had seemed nice enough when they had talked, and somehow had managed to stay calm when it became apparent that she and Jace hadn't actually been in the room. "Okay, that's good, at least she'll be here soon. She seemed like an interesting person when we had talked to her last."

---

---

---

---

Scott smirked. Whenever someone told him to shut up, it was practically them resigning to defeat. There was no coming back from such a pathetic and easy to use comeback. It wasn't even really a comeback at all. Gideon had just waved a white flag of defeat. "Make me, twink," Scott shot back, chuckling to himself. He ignored Isley's comment about seeing his daughter and similarly, he didn't even want to listen to Janelle's. He had his reasons for not calling her. He didn't need to justify them to random strangers he had just met. "And it's thirty one confirmed kills, about to be thirty two or more if people don't shut the fuck up about my daughter."

He rolled his eyes and slouched back in his seat. Of course they thought the lawyer was interesting. It was as if these kids had been programmed to not have a mean bone in their body and it was sickening. They didn't even know how to make fun of people properly. The putdowns all reeked of elementary school - as if they were just waiting for recess so they could go out and play on the swings. "Soon would have been half a million damn years ago!" Scott groaned, slamming his fist against the table.

Amelia smiled nervously as Riley talked about where she was in a rather skip through manner.' Bad subject...! Should have been more careful!' She thought, making a mental note to not question about the other woman's past from now on. She could just read the general outline on the internet, but frankly it didn't really matter where she was from as far as Amelia was concerned. She gulped and nodded, stopping herself from making any remarks that could potentially ruin this newfound friendship or worse, make Riley hate her.

“Yeah... Almost...” She replied when Riley called for them to get going if she was ready. Thus Amelia hurried to return to the front door with a small bag that held her clothing she picked along with necessities and a backpack that had her art supplies. She couldn't quite bring her old beat up desktop pc after all, but her sketchbook and pencils for drawing were of bigger importance anyhow.” I'm ready... let's get going before he shows up outside...” The girl said quietly, throwing concerned glances left and right down the halls, worried about the probably dangerous neighbor." Thank you again, Riley... For doing this for someone like me." She said quietly.

Ahh the lands of dreams were such a blissful place to be. Filled with endless of whatever you were dreaming at the time be it pleasure or nightmare. Claire was a person who was well versed in appreciating such things actually. Well she darn well had to be given she was just torn out of her blissful sleep by a really loud ringing of the doorbell followed by 3 knockes strong enough for her to hear all the way into her bedroom.” I fucking swear, heads will roll this time...” She groaned as she got up from her bed and shuffled like a zombie towards the front door.

She had barely reached the front door when her powers kicked in and she started reading the other person's mind. It seems he had her address for whatever reason and his name was Trevor Kingston. She looked out the spyhole, her eyes displaying the look a grumpy sleep deprived cop would get after one too many coffees and too little sleep.

“Whomever you think you are, you've got precisely 10 seconds before I return to bed.” She growled in irritation, not bothering to open the door because she was sure she'd punch the man in the face right away as soon as he saw said face.” 10...9...”

"Yeah, I'm right by Tompkins Square Park." Adalene said, the location only being around ten minutes from her place. "If You don't know there well enough to do your thing, Madison Square Garden is about a midway point." She offered. She hadn't been there in awhile anyway. Granted, Krispy Kreme was the least of her priorities, but hell if she wasn't a slut for some good doughnuts. She smiled, waiting for affirmation from Emmie on where she should head out to. "Just let me know what's better for you, and I'll be on my way." She said, resting her back against the front door.

Adalene briefly wondered about how she should, or if she should go after the apparent others like them. On one hand, it was a definite risk to start revealing herself to more people, but on the other hand, there was security in numbers. Especially if those numbers included super powered people under the threat of potential death. She didn't know what she was gonna do with Emmie, since she really couldn't afford to feed and house her long term. She briefly played with the idea of encouraging her to steal for what she needed, since she was pretty sure teleporting would made that trivial for her, but she didn't like the taste of that. Then again, there were a lot of shitty rich people in New York, even if they were powerful, they weren't super powered, and good luck proving in a court of law that she had teleported in and stole something. She really didn't know how she felt about robin hooding, but even so, there were a ton of potential uses for Emmie's powers, so she assumed having her as a friend would be a potentially amazing asset. Thinking of people in that kind of light wasn't necessarily the nicest thing, but it was certainly something to consider.

Time: 2:00PM, New York City, New York

@Damo021 For the most part Aaliyah's apartment was pretty quiet as she sat and got her drink, the commercials would go on for awhile before eventually going back to the news story at Aaliyah's restaurant. "So what happened exactly?" A female reporter asked the man who Aaliyah had just served before the confrontation started. "Well there was the big guy who started the whole thing, he was bald and had a crap ton of tattoos. He bumped into the girl, and then it just started to escalate after that." He answered, as the woman thanked him, and went onto interview one of her coworkers who was free. The guy was a waiter that Aaliyah worked with, he was quiet for the most part and when she asked for Aaliyah's name he didn't give it, figuring that she didn't want to much attention.

@rivaan Trevor took a step back when he heard Claire's voice on the other end. "Is this Claire Winters' place?" He asked, he then started to panic slightly when she started to count down. He looked down at the sheet of paper of the address, and quickly started to try and think of a way to try and get her to open the door. "I'll leave shortly, just answer me this real quick." He said before pausing and letting out a slight sigh thinking that she thought that he was crazy. "Have you recently experienced seeing people that aren't really there, or strange occurrences like fire coming out of your hands or healing rather quickly?" Figuring that was probably one way to get her attention.

@Morose @BlueSky44 "He's probably just scared that his daughter would tear into him for not getting in contact with her sooner." Gideon said glaring towards Scott and rolled his eyes. He was getting really tired and annoyed being called a twink by him, as he looked at Jason and Janelle and nodded. It was good to see that they would have someone similar to them very soon come over and maybe they would actually get some answers as well at least hopefully anyway. Isley jumped slightly when Scott slammed his hands on the table, a few of the other customers turned to stare at their table and whispered quietly as to what was actually going on.

About ten minutes later the door opened and the siblings would instantly recognize that it was Cynthia coming into the store, she eyed the guests for a moment before eventually spotting Jason and Janelle there and quickly approached them and gave them a soft smile. "Hey sorry, who are these three?" Cynthia finally asked as she eyed Isley, Gideon and then Scott before grabbing a nearby chair and brought it over towards their table.

---

---

Olivia leaned forward and started to listen to Quinn and gave her a slight nod as she told her how she discovered hers, Olivia awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck and then eyed the scalpel that she showed her power with Quinn moments prior. "It was about I don't know I think a day or two after getting discharged from the hospital from getting sick. I was carrying a little bit to many things, and dropped one of my scalpels and ended up getting my hand pretty badly, and just instantly healed all on it's own like I had just showed." Olivia said rubbing the back of her neck.

"I guess it was better on finding that it was an accident rather than getting mugged or shot at during the night." Olivia said with a slight shrug, it was still a bit weird that they worked almost the same professions, she worked with more of the freshly made dead while Quinn dealt with the bones. "Do you have any ideas as to what exactly is happening with us, or how many other people are out there like us?" Olivia had to ask she was curious as well and everything for someone else's thoughts other than her own and Claire's.

---

---

---

---

Riley smiled towards Amelia and nodded. "No problem at all Amelia." She smiled towards her friend as she started to open the door when she also noticed some of the art supplies that were there and started to get a bit curious. "So are you an artist?" Riley finally asked as she started to head down the hallway. When Amelia's neighbor came out of his room and then eyed Amelia and then gave her a pervy looking smile and started to approach her. "So how are you doing lovely?" He asked as Riley quickly stepped forward and then eyed him for a moment as he was about to try and give her a weird hug he obviously reeked of alcohol. When an invisible barrier quickly appeared between Amelia and the neighbor causing him to stumble back and then fall onto his ass.

Riley looked at her hand for a moment, just confused as to what happened she really didn't use it often and mostly just happened out of instinct as the man rolled around on his back groaning loudly. Riley quickly grabbed Amelia's hand started to make her way out of the apartment and started to head over towards her car was parked just outside of the building itself.

---

---

---

---

Emmie thought for a moment thinking of the two places to go to, she hadn't been to Tompkins Square Park before, and that would take her quiet awhile to get to since that required a mix of teleporting and walking on foot. "I haven't been to Tompkins so Madison works since I've been there quiet a few times." Emmie answered as she looked at Adalene and gave her an awkward smile and then waved at her, before she just disappeared from Adalene's apartment leaving her alone in the building itself. She shook her head as she looked around seeing the bench she had been resting on. And the remaining pieces of food that she had stolen earlier in the day, she did end up becoming a shoplifter and was pretty good at it actually.

Emmie then used her ability and then disappeared again and reappeared in an alleyway nearby as she quietly found a spot to sit down and looked around letting out a slight sigh as she started to wait for Adalene to appear and looked around, she was alone once more and gave a slight shrug as she started to wait patiently.

---

Olivia was asking her questions like she was the Wikipedia page for what they were. Hell, up until recently she was under the impression she was one of an extremely few amounts of people like her, and just today she meets two more. She was still unsure as to what this all meant; the dreams, the transportation. "If I had to wager a guess, I would assume there are quite a few out there like us. When I was transported elsewhere, I recognized the man in the car from my dream. I imagine he may be one. If that is the case, there are more of us out there than in New York."

She could feel her headache coming back in full force. This was a lot to take in. "Look, no offense Olivia, but are we going to be doing anything other than sitting here talking? Isn't there something we could do to figure this out? I know the case I was handed was sketchy, which is why I was there at the cafe. How he died was similar to the recent death on the news. It could be coincidence, but I don't think so."

---

---

---

Jason laughed slightly when he heard Gideon's comment about Scott and his daughter. Sure it would make sense for him to at least talk to his daughter, but he doubted that Scott would listen to anyone else's suggestion. Though he felt like Scott might have been threatening his sister slightly with that last comment, since she was one of the people who had been talking about Scott's daughter. Jason glared at Scott, not sure what else to say about the situation, but he'd get in between Scott and Janelle in a heartbeat if he was threatening her.

She shook her head slightly at all of the commotion around her. They were fighting slightly, that much was obvious, but it didn't really matter too much it seemed, except they weren't shutting up completely about things. Scott didn't want to talk about his daughter, and she was perfectly fine dropping the subject about her, but apparently Gideon wasn't fine like that. Since he decided to make one last comment about it, which was probably not that great of an idea in her opinion.

"Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine. She actually has a job, unlike you from the looks of it, so be patient or something," Jace said with an eye roll to Scott. The guy was getting on his nerves even more so now, so might as well poke the fire with a stick to see what happens. When Cynthia headed over, he gave her a smile and a slight wave. He was glad to see someone who he knew wasn't a person, like Scott, who he was pretty sure might not be completely right in the head.

"It is good to see you again Cynthia," Janelle said, though she was blind, she generally worded things like that so people didn't get weirded out by it or something. When she asked about the others, she knew that she didn't want her brother introducing the group, as odds were he'd make some snide remark about Scott, though she thought what better way than to just let them introduce themselves, so that way no one got mad at each other about what was said.

---

---

---

Claire was not happy with the fact she was being woken up rudely like that, but as she was counting down the man started speaking about the abnormalities and seeing people who weren't there, using powers and the like.” 8...” She she had just counted to eight when he did so and she stopped counting on purpose.”...” She kept quiet for a moment before letting a real loud sigh.

“I see... I figured someone will show up sooner or later.” She said and smiled secretly to herself while hidden behind the door.” It seems we might have a reason to talk and there MIGHT be a good reason for you to so rudely wake me after I had barely gotten a 10 minutes nap after a NIGHTSHIFT.” She said, placing the intonation to her words to underline the important parts.

“Fine, I'm letting you in to talk. But keep in mind, I'm a police officer and I can jail your ass if you do something stupid and ohh... I'm armed.” She added before unlocking the door and opening the door, presenting herself in all her black silk cultist robe dressed glory. She stood there like it was completely natural to be dressed like that, after all it was her pajamas!” So want to enter or not? I don't bite... much.”

---

---

---

---

“Yeah... if I can be called one.” Amelia admitted quietly, throwing a look at her drawing supplies she had grabbed and the ones that were left.” I'm mostly a hobbyist, but people have told me I'm decent. I do mostly fanbased stuff for internet.” The girl quickly explained as they were leaving. Frankly between medicine and art she preferred art by a huge margin. She had even thought about trying to make some money by doing comissions or something art based while she was still not in college. As she was about to mention it to Riley, the man next door showed up and spoke. Was he waiting at the door for her to show up, dammit?!

“!!!” Amelia nearly jumped and moved away as he was getting close. She grimaced from the stench of alcohol. In but a moment she went from happy to terrified. She was sure she was barely a few moments from frying him with electricity. As he neutralised himself by faceplanting in Riley's shield, Amelia's power came to live, electricity surging down her hands and then zapping at the wall by his door. She was startled by it as it caused sparks and a small burnt hole, but otherwise nothing serious. She was afraid if that had hit the man chances are good he might gotten seriously injured! As Riley pulled her away towards her car, Amelia looked in shock.

“Thank you, Riley.” She said again.” If you weren't there, I might have seriously injured him...” She said, but didn't feel as bad about actually almost hurting the man. Hurting him was a good thing given how much he made her life hell, but the chance of possibly cuasing his death with her power was something else. She didn't want a death on her shoulders as well. She then saw the car they were heading to.” Ohh...!” She made a surprised expression, almost forgetting about the man for a moment.” Nice car, I like the colors!” She smiled, looking at the vehicle and then at Riley." You have good taste."

---

---

---

"Don't say I didn't warn ya, twink," Scott muttered, before he imagined picking up his coffee and stood up, pouring it on Gideon's head. It could have been far worse and he did realize there was a prosecutor present, but he didn't care. He was mad and he was going to act on his anger. He didn't want to talk about his daughter and they kept on pushing him regardless. Sure, it was a horrible decision to make - but that was par for the course in his life. He didn't make money by being polite and civilized.

But in reality, he just glared at Gideon, contemplating now picking up the spoon and jamming it into his forehead. He'd wait to show Gideon he was a man of his word. Not in front of a law enforcement official. He wasn't dumb - he was just angry. "And I have a job, cupcake," he snarled at Jace. "And the name's Scott Jones - just another fucked up individual in whatever this game is...."

---

---

---

Adalene watched with a kind of indifference that would have seemed impossible yesterday, as Emmie waved and disappeared into thin air. "Madison it is then." She said, and strolled out of her apartment, locking the door behind her. She sighed as she slung her purse over her shoulder, and pulled out her phone to get directions. She typed in the location, and nodded as she familiarized herself with the directions. She slipped her phone into her pocket, and started to walk. She glanced around as she walked, trying to keep her eyes out for anything weird that might happen, this was New York after all, and there was possibly a murderer on the loose. She smiled as she walked through the city, she really did love it here, crazy as it could be.

She turned on a corner, and groaned a bit internally, it was at least another 20 minute walk. Part of her wanted to get a car, but that was an expense she really couldn't afford. She'd never change the path she decided on, but hell, the path of going from a starving artist to a thriving one was not a fun one to say the least. She didn't want to bug her father for money, that'd be demeaning for one, and while her dad put up a front of supporting her, she didn't want to push him in any way. She just sighed as she kept walking, she'd get there one day, she hoped. As for now, she just had to take it day by day, which was getting harder to do as shit like what she was in now continued to pop up.

Time: 2:00PM, New York City, New York

@Damo021 There were a few other interviews that went on with the other guests and coworkers, the guests at the restaurant didn't give much information other than what they had seen. While one of Aaliyah's cowrokers did give out her name, and told them what she was like before they changed to another story. There was a few international news stories when they changed events going on in the world, aside from that there wasn't much interesting news going on. There was a knock on the door, whenever Aaliyah did come to the door there was a news reporter at the door.

@rivaan Trevor would let out a sigh when Claire decided to actually let him enter, when she opened the door he quickly looked away when he saw her wearing nothing but a robe, and rubbed the back of his neck. "I wont take up to much of your time, I promise you no more than ten minutes." Trevor said, when she stepped aside and let him enter. Hopefully it would go a bit better than Aaliyah's brief meeting, and with Claire being a cop, he really wasn't interested in being put in the back of a squad car. Trevor entered the room, and took a few steps into the room. "So, i'm geneticist, I work for a company and I do genome studies. I believe that you and several others who are similar to you are out there." He said, as he took out a card and handed it over towards Claire.

@Natsu So far the walk was going around pretty smoothly, however there was still a lot of traffic in the streets she could see a few buses and taxies that drove by, it would certainly cut down the time and avoid having to cross intersections in the busy city streets. Then the rain started to pick up again, as the cars drove by there was a speedster that went through a redlight and some water on the side of the curb ended up hitting Adalene drenching her in water.

@Morose @BlueSky44 Cynthia gave Janelle a friendly smile and nodded towards her. "Good to see the two of you again as well." She said as she set down her purse and looked at the other three as they started to introduce themselves. She looked over towards Scott seeing that the man did look a bit irritable at best, and decided to not really poke the beast like everyone else seemed to be doing. "I'm Isley, sort of met Scott here earlier unexpectedly." She said referring to their meeting earlier, Gideon glared at Scott but decided that it was smart now to not poke the very pissed off beast now. "Gideon, same with everyone else, sort of bumped into each other a few minutes ago." He answered. "It's nice to meet you all, so what do you think we should all do about this then?" Cynthia finally asked.

Olivia looked at Quinn and nodded slightly, as she listened to her as she started to mention a case that she had been working on and was the reason for her being at the café. That did start to get her attention how sketchy that case was that she was working on and leaned forward and thought for a moment. "We could go over a few medical records and try and find some similar cases." Olivia said as she gestured towards a laptop that she often used for work purposes as well, when things were slow and she worked the late night shifts she would spend time sitting in the small lounge area and do the work on there.

"Your welcome to use that computer, if you want or you can use my desktop and we can search through some other weird cases, and for any john and jane does that turn up." Olivia shrugged slightly, it would certainly take a lot of time to go through all of the information might even take longer than that since it was a huge list.

"Don't mention it." Riley said towards Amelia and gave her a slight smile when they got to her car Riley smiled even more her Mustang was her pride and joy, she always took such great care for her car. "I've always liked muscle cars." Riley said, she always drove it around whenever she left her apartment. When Riley pulled out her car keys she unlocked the door and opened up the front passenger seat. "Just toss your stuff into the backseat." Riley said as she turned and made her way towards the driver's seat and climbed in, and sat down turning on the engine.

In the back of the car Amelia would notice Riley's personal guitar, which she always used for years and never changed it out. She looked over at Amelia once she got in and started to pull out from the curb side parking and then started to drive up the street. "So are you hungry or anything?" Riley asked Amelia offering her some food.

---

At least they had a solid plan now. "Yeah, if you don't mind. I'll begin searching." While she did so, she filled Olivia in on the case as she had it. From the time she was given the remains from the police to the time she met up with the wife at the cafe. This puzzle seemed to be coming together slowly and hopefully, they were on the right track.

She started searching for similar cases. Anything that connected to the same manner of death or the same removal of the body was marked. Especially John or Jane Doe cases, as typically they would be when found after being disposed of like that. She wondered how everyone else in the world was dealing with these dreams and powers. If she found Olivia and Claire, and the man she saw pin the truck had to be one, there were a lot more of them out there. Would they all come together?

"Mhm..." Claire made a sound as she let the weird man enter. All things be fair she enjoyed him turning away when he saw what she was wearing. It was amusing to tease people like that. She stepped aside with a smile, leaving him a clear entry and walked into the living room, waiting for him to join." Good because I wouldn't give you more than 10 minutes given it's how much you let me sleep before you woke me up. Get on with it, so we cal all go back to our routines." She stated with indifferent voice, trying to pick any thoughts from him she can get her hands on and also pulled her phone, setting a ten minute timer on it." There you've got ten minutes to finish setting your presentation or whatever OR 10 minutes to make me give you some extra time... Be careful though I also take away time in some cases." She was half making a joke game out of it as she pulled a sheet of paper and a pen to write down notes.

"Annnnnnd I can see where this is going." She stated, taking the business card." Genome studies is it... or should I say genetic manipulation, super soldier projects and world domination or something?" She asked with a huge grin and the most theatrical manner possible." Seriously I was wondering how much time it would take before someone 'interested' in this shows up. Okey that only explains what you will get out of meeting me, tell me now what you want and what I get out of it before I start taking minutes away from the remaining time." Claire most innocently smiled, her face having this innocently expecting look to it.

Around the living room it was normal enough though if you do not count one of the walls that was covered by a huge wall of bookshelves with rows upon rows of books. Some were more typical modern novel ones others were clearly older with classical stype hard covers. Genres and authors varied all over the place too.

"I see, thank you." Amelia said quietly as Riley opened the car. Without wasting much of time, she put her luggage on the back seats. She was really careful not to put it on and near Riley's guitar though. She suspected the other woman loved her guitar a lot and she understood such things. Thus once her luggage was neatly secured and not hindering anything or anyone, she entered the car and took the passenger seat, putting on the safety belt and everything like a good little passenger. Didn't want them to be pulled off by teh cops because she screwed up and forgot to put on the belt.

"Ahh no, no need... I had a hotdog earlier before we met for the first time at that store." She explained quickly." So I'm not really hungry... But if you want, we can go! It's no problem at all!" She added with a nervous laughter. She didn't want to stop her friend from having a grub if she needed after all." Which reminds me I met a dog earlier, I usually do not like dogs, but that one I got okey with... I wonder what the poor thing will be doing." She mumbled, recalling the dog, but then shook her head vigorously." What am I even thinking about. It was just a dog... you probably aren't happy to hear me talk about nonsense... ehh hahaha..." She lauhed nervously yet again.

"I can't believe this is happening though." She eventually mumbled." I mean superpowers! Then meeting other people through what appears to be out of body experiences! It sounds like the plot for a superhero tv show or something. Okey, I shut up now." Amelia smiled, suddenly getting a glint of inspiration, but decided it was probably bad idea to draw in the car and distract Riley so she just tried to preserve the inspiration by making a mental image of a superhero suit.
