Current abilities
Pyrokinesis, Precognition, Telepathy
Stephen sat on the edge of the roof of his apartment building, wondering about this weird thing he could do. Stephen ignited his hand and stared at the blue flame, wondering how he could produce it, and how it wouldn't burn him.
Stephen decided to see what would happen to the fire if he tried to throw it. He pulled back his arm and threw it forward, watching as the flame traveled a few feet before dieing. Stephen didn't worry about anyone seeing him, this side of the apartment faced a network of alleys so no one came there.
Stephen tried to do the thing again but produced an arc of continuous fire, he freaked out and fell off the ledge of his apartment. He screamed as the ground began to rush up to meet him.

Luke had been watching the boy play about with the fire on his hand. He tended to wander around rooftops whenever he got bored, it made him feel free basically, and he liked that. He wasn’t even worried about the fact that this person had some sort of ability to make fire, after all what where the chances that he was the only person who had an ability to do something out of the ordinary.
Then the kid fell, and Luke moved as quickly as he could, teleporting towards him, before teleporting Stephen onto the ground. He landed next to him, smiling a bit, then laughing slightly. “Alright?” he asked. He didn’t even consider it a stupid question, depending on how new this boy was to his ability and how well he was used to unnatural things happening.

Stephen was about to hit the ground when all of the sudden, he was there, but he didn't have any broken bones and didn't feel any pain. He heard someone ask him if he was alright and looked up to see a guy standing next to him.
"What the heck just happened? One second I'm falling the next I'm on the ground. I don't understand this." He said.
Stephen couldn't come up with any logical solution for how this happened. This was as strange as the thing he could do with the fire. His life was getting weirder by the minute.
Stephen got to his feet and looked up at the building. It looked high up and seemed impossible for anything to grab him and get him to the ground that fast.
"What the heck happened?" he repeated.

Luke looked towards the boy. “I could be asking you that question.” He said. “You where the one with fire shooting out of your hands.” He smiled slightly, teleporting back a few yards. “I can teleport I suppose.” He said, “Or I could make you teleport if I felt like it.”
Luke looked around again. “I’m Luke by the way.” He said, “So do you normally like shooting fire out of your hands? Or was that just for me?” He was partly curious about this boy, who seemed to have no idea what was going on or why, and wanted to see what he knew about what he had been doing.

Stephen listened as the guy said he could teleport. That made enough sense, the guy could grab him and get him to the ground if he could do that. Stephen thought it would be interesting to be able to do that.
"My names Stephen. I was shooting the flames to see what I could do with them. I don't really know how this works." he said as he ignited his hand to look at the blue flames.
"So do you know anyone else who can do these weird things? Do you know how this works?" Stephen asked.

“Nope.” Luke replied, “All I really know is that I can be anyplace anytime I want.” He took at step backwards, before teleporting to the side a few steps. “It’s just the way this thing works in my opinion.”
“I don’t know anything more though.” Luke said, wondering what he should do. “Do you want back up?” He asked, indicating up towards the rooftop from where Stephen had fallen. He could do that easily enough.

Stephen sighed as Luke told him he didn't know much about how abilities worked. At least Stephen knew that there were more people like him, he had suspected it, but never had any proof.
"Ya, my parents might wonder how I got off the roof if i show up at the front door." he said.
Stephen extinguished the fire and waited to be teleported. He thought it was strange that he could produce fire and that he was talking to a guy who could teleport.

Luke smiled slightly, teleporting Stephen up, before following himself. He wanted to make sure the guy would be OK, since he wasn’t sure of the effect of his power on other people. Once he had got up he sat down looking out.
“You come up here often?” he asked, looking out at the numerous streets that where nearby. He liked to sit on rooftops, it let him be free to do whatever he felt like, and really he liked his ability, it was one of those things which let him be truly free, even if just for a while.

Stephen all of the sudden was on the roof of his house. He wasn't as surprised this time but it still felt weird, being in one place then another instantly. He hoped his parents hadn't come to check on him or he would be in for a whole lot of questions.
"I started coming up here recently when I could start doing the fire thing. I usaully just sit here and try to figure it out but sometimes I just practice." he said, "So you can teleport anywhere, and anyone, you want, that sounds pretty cool. I would love to teleport."
He thought it would be cool to be able to teleport from where he was to the otherside of the roof when all of the sudden he was there.
"Dude, what did you do?" he said to the guy, wondering why he would do that.

Luke was confused. “I didn’t do anything.” He had just seen Stephen teleport, but he had said he could create fire, not teleport. “That wasn’t me.” He said, wondering how Stephen could have managed to do something like that.
“Can you do anything else?” Luke asked, wanting to know if it was possible that maybe he could do the same things as Stephen could. He hadn’t met anyone else with an ability of any kind, and wondered what he could do if what he had was more than just teleportation.

"You didn't do anything? Was that me?" Stephen said, now even more confused.
First he could set his hands on fire, now this. Stephen wanted to make sure it was him so he tried again, and found himself on the roof of the apartment next to his. He then ignited his hands to see if he could still do that. It also was succesful.
"This is so weird. What else can I do?" he said.
Stephen teleported back to his roof and looked at Luke, "Are you able to do anything else?"

“Don’t think so.” Luke said, attempting to ignite his hands in flames. “No, just you.” It was weird, it seemed like this kid was able to do whatever he wanted, and Luke couldn’t figure out how. It was almost like he had copied his ability.
“You can’t do anything else can you?” Luke asked, lying back on the roof. It would make no real difference to him now, but he was curious as to whether or not Stephen was able to use even more abilities that the ones he had shown.

Stephen watched as Luke tried to create fire. Stephen had half expected it to work, seeing that he could use Lukes ability, but it didn't. Stephen was wondering what else he could do when he heard the same question, but it was Lukes voice, like he had just read his mind. Then Luke voiced the question.
"I think I can read minds to. I heard you wonder what else I could do before you asked me." he said, "This is so weird."

Luke was getting slightly scared of Stephen, he seemed to be able to do a lot more than he could, and could teleport like Luke could plus other stuff. It was like the guy copied others abilities, but then that didn’t explain how he had got the ability to shoot fire, and reading minds.
It was just all too strange for Luke. He could go anywhere in the world, whenever he wanted, but he – even though he knew he was probably wrong – had always thought that maybe he was the only one who could teleport, the only one with that ability.

Stephen read all of Luke's thoughts accidentally, he still couldn't control this new ability.
"Ya, maybe I can mimic people, but I don't know who I would have gotten them from." he said, thinking for a second. Then it hit him, a memory of the first time he had used an ability, he had been angry at his father. He had done the fire thing and his dad hadn't seemed so surpised by Stephen generating fire. Maybe that was who he got the fire thing from. His sister also seemed to know what people were thinking, no matter how well they hid it. He then had a memory of not being able to use the fire thing the day after his dad left to find something out. He hadn't been able to use it till he had gotten back.
"I think I know who I got the other powers from, and I think I can't use the power after being away from the person for awhile, I don't know how long." Stephen said.
