December 12th
Being a detective, Matt was able to choose the case he wanted, and one in particular had caught his eye. The Murder of Jack Cullen. Looking at the photos of the body, Matt had discovered a few things about him. He had 2 little scars on the back on his neck, like Matt had. He had also fallen off the map for a long time, and hasn't been seen in a few months.
When Matt had gotten to the crimescene, it was worse then he thought. The body was soaking wet, but at the same time, it was burnt. Almost like, Ted Sprague had gotten to him, or something similar to that.
What also puzzled Matt was the missing of prints on the body. Instead, it was just, hand marks, burnt into the skin, as if somebody had burnt this guys skin with his bare hands. Sure, Matt had seen things like this before, him being able to read minds himself, and meeting Ted, but this was just savage. Ted never meant to hurt anyone, whoever did this, did it on purpose.

[ooc: you forgot to date the thread Parkman *pokes tongue out and runs away fast*]
Angela had been wanting Daphne to track down Matt Parkman for a while now. Ever since she had been putting together special teams, she had wanted Daphne to find Matt, but so far, she hadn't any luck. However, today Angela had heard news of an Evolved Human being murdered, and she believed Matthew Parkman was on the case. She also wanted Daphne to find out as much as possible about the Evolved Humans ability and promised Daphne she wouldn't have a wasted journey this time.
Nodding to Angela and taking off, leaving a wake of floating papers as always, Daphne headed in the direction of California, coming to a very abrupt halt when she almost bumped into the person in question. She didn't know why she knew it was him, she just knew it was him. As she sped to her stop, street litter wafted up around her. She stood staring at him, head cocked to the side, lips pursed in a sort of pout, hands on her hips.
"Matt Parkman?" she asked, not waiting for an answer she continued, "Good, I've been sent to find you, now come with..." she stopped, seeing the body, completely forgetting she was supposed to find out about the murdered person's ability. Of course she had also been warned by Angela Matt had Telepathy, so Daphne was going to be very careful where her thoughts were concerned.
"So, do you know what ability he had?" she asked him, still looking at him with a pursed pout.

The scene was a gruesome one, made slightly less gruesome when a beautiful, short blonde girl stepped onto the scene. She didn't look like a detective, but he could be wrong. And surprisingly, she walked right over in his direction. Parkman turned around to look back, seeing if she was walking towards anyone else, but no one was behind him.
"Uh, yeah, Im Matt Parkm..." The girl cut him off, telling him to come with her. "What do you mean, what is this about?" He asked her, trying to dig into her mind. He couldn't find much, she seemed to be aware that he was doing it, how did she know he could read minds.
Then, to his surprise, she asked him what ability he had. Now he was really worried. "How do you know about that?" He asked her, trying to read her mind, but getting nothing.
He decided to just answer her question, rather then answer with another question. "No, no I don't know what he had."

Her abruptness had obviously thrown him off she realised. As she stood wondering what she should do now, she realised just how handsome he was as she stood and took in all his features. For a few moments her mind drifted slightly, until he spoke to her and brought her back to the reason why she was there in the first place.
"I, uhm, actually that doesn't matter right now" Daphne said referring to the reason why he had to come with her. She was supposed to find out about the ability as well. "I just do" Daphne said when he asked her how she knew he had an ability. Only thing was she was supposed to find out what ability and if Matt didn't know, how the hell was she meant to find out what it was. "Damn, I was supposed to try and find out about it, oh well if you don't know..." she began, shrugging, "I don't know how she expected me to know about...." Daphne continued, trailing off slightly.
She decided to offer him a bit of an explanation. "Let me start again" she began, taking the time to actually give him a smile, "I'm Daphne Millbrook, I work for Angela Petrelli and she knew that this guy was an Evolved Human, she sent me here to try find out more about his ability" wondering if she should carry on to tell him she was also sent to find him for Angela's team or if she should leave that for the next round of explanation. She decided on the latter as she stood there, waiting for him to speak to her again.

She didn't want to tell him about why she needed him, so he tried to read it. He didn't get much, her mind was moving too fast, one thought after another, for him to catch much. He did catch the words 'he is kinda handsome' going through her head. He laughed at this.
She suddenly slowed down. Deciding to tell her a bit about herself. She told him she worked for Angela Petrelli, and that she knew that Jack Cullen was an evolved human, that she was here to find out more about his ability.
"Ok, I'm not really sure, but, I was trying to dig around in his mind, before it completely died, and according to the witness', he seemed to just appear, and disappear. I was thinking, Invisibility, something along those lines"
"Daphne, was it? Take me to Angela, I will try and help" He turned around to his detective partner, telling him that he would be back later. Daphne may take him there, but Matt was going to be doing a little bit of digging on his own, find out what Angela wanted.

Finally after giving him more information about herself, Matt began to speak, telling her, or least hopefully telling her the answer to one of the reasons why she had been sent here. Listening to him say about what the witness said made a lot of sense with regards to the ability.
"Yes, it does sound like Invisibility then, or Camouflage, something like that" Daphne said, smiling at Matt, he had just helped her with something she needed to know. "Thanks" she said rather sheepishly, even if she couldn't get Matt to come with her, at least she knew the ability of the dead guy, Angela would hopefully be impressed with that much at least.
"Yeah Daphne" she said, holding out her hand, officially introducing herself, "Pleased to meet you Matt Parkman" Daphne said, and then he asked her to take him to Angela. She didn't even have to drag him there, he was asking her to take him, what did you know?
"Actually Angela also sent me here to take you to her, something about working on one of her teams, I guess like I do" Daphne said, shrugging her shoulders slightly and looking at him with her pursed pout again. "And yeah I can take you, it's what I came to do after all, are you ready for the run though?" she said, looking into his eyes, finding it difficult to take her eyes away from his, like they were magnetising hers to his.

At least she was polite, she introduced herself, holding out her hand for him to shake it. He was surprised, people weren't usually "please you meet him". Alot of people had just ignored him until he used his ability to work his way up to detective.
She told him that Angela wanted him to work in one of her teams, to use his ability to help her. As he agreed, she said she could take him their, as asked if he was ready for a run. "Are you asking me if you think I can keep up with you? I may not look it, Daphne, but I am pretty fit" He said to her, grinning, pretty confident.
"If i join one of these teams, Daphne, will I be with you, helping you do this stuff?" He wanted to be with her, at least work with someone he knew.

Daphne rolled her eyes and then laughed a little, shaking her head and pursing her lips into her usual pout again, "No Parkman, I wasn't asking if you were fit enough, I was asking if you were ready for the feeling it can cause" Daphne said more clearly. Then under her breath she sort of mumbled, "but I'm pretty sure you're more than fit" and then she looked at him and smiled again.
Then he began to ask about the teams. Would he be with her, working with her. She wondered about that herself. She could certainly ask Angela to have Matt work with her, what harm could it do.
"Yeah, I guess you can work with me, actually I'd like it if you worked with me, I can talk to Angela about that" Daphne said grinning at him, then she grabbed his hand in her own as she began to speed run to New York, leaving a wake of floating litter in her trail.
[ooc: if you like I can move this to Primatech in New York and bring Angela in]

[Yeah, do that, we can bring Angela in]
Parkman was happy when she said she would talk to Angela Petrelli about putting them in a team together. At least he would have someone to work with who he knew, and Daphne and him seemed to have a certain, connection.
He laughed when she said he seemed fit enough, obviously he hadn't understood what she meant when she asked. Then, it was shown to him. She grabbed him by the hand and all of a sudden they were going at a million kilometers an hour. Parkman almost couldn't keep his lunch up.
"So, Thats your ability, huh?" He said to her, questioningly. "You run really fast? Like The Flash?" "I read minds" He said. "But you probably already knew that"
He also decided to joke a bit. "I also put thoughts into peoples heads. I can practically make them do whatever I want" He smiled. "Say for example, I wanted to ask if i could take you to a nice fancy dinner. How 'bout it, Daphne?" He said, sending a thought to her head so she couldn't say no, just to joke her around a bit. But he seriously did want to ask her out, he just couldn't work up the courage to do it seriously.

"Yeah, this is my ability" Daphne said, cocking he head to the side as she looked at him with a smile. "Alright there Parkman?" she asked, "Not about to bring your dinner up or anything?" she added and then began to laugh. She was sort of teasing with him she knew what the feeling could be like to someone who wasn't used to it.
"I already knew your ability, yeah" Daphne said as she grinned at him again. Angela had told her to be careful around him with her thoughts. So Daphne was trying hard not to think about anything so he couldn't delve into her mind.
However he went on to explain his power a little but more, and as he did so, she began to realise just how powerful it could be as a thought went into her mind making her say she wanted to go out to dinner with him.
"Well sure I'd love to go out to dinner with you" Daphne said and smiled, she knew it was the thought he'd put into her mind which made her say that. So she smiled again, and pouted slightly, "But you know you could actually ask me" she added with a wink, after all you never know what could happen.
However at this point, they were now outside Primatech, so Daphne made her way to the office of Angela Petrelli. After about five minutes they were there. "Well we're here" she said, as she knocked on the door to Angela's office and walked in smiling a the woman who was sitting in her usual place.

Angela was once again sitting in her office, gathering together the information she had got from all her agents so far and was compiling folders on all of the villains. They still hadn't much luck in catching any of them, but the information which had been gathered was good and very useful.
When the door was knocked on, and then opened, Angela looked up to see Daphne. She smiled at the young woman, and then noticed the man standing behind her, and Angela's smiled widened. It looked like Daphne had found Matthew Parkman for her, at last.
She got up, and made her way over to him, patting Daphne on the arm on her way. "Mr Parkman, finally we meet, I have heard such good things about you, and I really would be honoured to have you on my team" Angela said as she held out her hand to shake Matt's by way of introduction.

Her reaction to him asking her made him laugh. She just said that it would be easier if he just asked her himself. So, he decided to do it. "Well, How about this, Daphne" He said. "Would you like to go out to dinner with me one time?" He asked her.
They walked into an office, in which he saw Angela Petrelli, well, he assumed it was her. Then, she introduced herself and he had guessed right. "Honored to meet you also, Angela" He said, trying to dig into her mind, but she seemed somehow block him from entering his mind.
"So, what is this about?" He asked her, wanting to know, as Daphne hadn't given him all the information he had wanted. Angela was an odd person, and what she wanted with him, he had know idea. But at least if he did this, he could spend more time with Daphne.

Daphne hadn't really expected him to then go ahead and ask her to dinner, but he had. She realised quite quickly she liked the idea as well. Grinning at him with her tongue almost sticking out she giggled slightly, "Yeah sure, I'd like that Parkman" she replied and then realised it sounded very business like to call him Parkman. So she shook her head, took his hand in her own and gave it a gentle squeeze, "I'd like that Matt" she said and smiled warmly at him.
Then they were in Angela's office and Angela seemed pleased she had found Matthew for her, and as she went to greet him, Angela had touched her arm, to which Daphne smiled and said "No problem" with regards to her finding and bringing him here for Angela.
"Angela, if Matt does agree to join your team, could he work along with me?" she asked him, as her eye gave out a slight sparkle and she blushed ever so slightly, but she stood with her lips pursed as always with her head cocked to the side waiting on Angela's response.

Angela smiled at Daphne as she told her it was no problem for finding Matt Parkman for her. However right at this moment she was more concerned with Parkman, and the fact he was now standing in front of her.
She smiled warmly at him when he said it was an honour to meet her also. Not many people said that to her. In fact a lot of people didn't like her very much and she could never figure it out, she was always a nice person to everybody, at least, so she thought anyway.
Then he began to ask why she wanted him. She smiled, "Of course you want to know. Well I'm putting together special teams to help bring down the villains who are causing so much trouble" Angela began, "And with your ability, and the fact you also work for the F.B.I, it makes you a perfect candidate for the job" Angela explained, and raised her eyebrow at him, as she folded her arms across her chest, but continued to smile. She really hoped he would agree and join her team.
Then Daphne spoke to her, she turned her attention to the girl she liked for her cheery personality. She had asked if Matt could work with her if he agreed to join. Angela thought it was a wonderful idea, as she could already see a connection between the two of them.
"Yes, of course he can work with you" Angela said smiling at Daphne and turning back to Matt, "So will you think about it, please?" she asked him hoping he'd say yes, she really needed someone with an ability like his on the team, and someone she knew she could really trust.

When Angela said that he was allowed to work with Daphne, Matt was pretty happy with himself. Even if she had said no, he would of just put the thought into her head. Daphne seemed like a really nice girl, and Matt was happy that she had agreed to let him take her on a date, without him having to use his powers.
Angela's desperation to have him on the team was kind of off putting, but of course he was going to say yes anyway. He was sick of his detective work, even as a detective, he didn't get the respect he deserved. With his ability, he was able to mess people around if they annoyed him, but he only did it if they really deserved it.
"Of course I will be on the team, I don't need to think about it" He said, it would be interesting to see what it would be like working in a team of people with abilities. He would be able to be himself. "Provided I can work with Daphne"
