10th December 2008Elliot wandered down the streets of Brooklyn…again. He had been here five days ago, visiting his grandparents. Now he was here because he just wanted to be here. He liked Brooklyn, sort of. It was a little too urban for him, but if he were to get past that he would have liked it more. But there was nothing to do as of today and so he just wandered the streets.
Today was the day that the kids had normal classes at the school. And although he hadn’t been to Primatech in a couple of days due to his teaching situation he assumed that there was nothing special for him to do there, and he was probably right. In fact, the moment he stepped in there, Ms. Petrelli would have probably assigned him another partner, seeing as how the last one hadn’t worked out so well. He laughed a little, recollecting on what happened that day.
In hindsight it probably wasn’t as funny to his former partner than to him, but he didn't do any serious damage. Its not like he gave him hypothermia or anything, just a little frostbite. The old geezer shouldn’t have been saying anything about the fact that Elliot was only twenty years old anyway. So he was young and pretty new to the Company, that didn't mean he was incompetent.
Elliot was a little too deep in thought and he almost collided with someone on the sidewalk. Luckily he snapped out of it in time to see them and he abruptly stopped before he did bump into him. It must not have been his week. This would have been the third time he had bumped into someone if he hadn't stop himself. He looked at the guy. He supposed that this time it was his fault and that he should apologize. “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.” He didn't apologize often so he just kept it short and simple.

Josh was walking along listening to his iPod when someone nearly rammed into him. Rammed into him. Well, not that he really cared, he had nothing to do today, or this week, and he was fairly bored, so the person who’d almost run into him actually did him a favor.
Let’s rewind here for a second. What was Josh doing today? Well, he woke up how he normally does: usually on the wrong side of the bed. He’s not much of a morning person, and everyone in his family knows it. Anyway, Josh woke up and didn’t feel like waiting for Katie to get ready, which was actually a first. Either way, Josh left the house clutching a Strawberry poptart in one hand and his jacket in the other. He, being bored, decided to camouflage himself for two blocks. He accidentally tripped a person, which was funny for two seconds before he realized he couldn’t laugh out loud.
And then he walked squarely into a pole.
After rubbing his head and actually deciding to look where he was walking, Josh realized he was heading toward to more populous place in Brooklyn, not like Brooklyn wasn’t populous. He un-camouflaged himself, and walked forward like he had always been there. He earned a suspicious glance from an old lady who looked like she owned twenty cats. And then the dude ran into him.
Well, almost ran into him.
“S’okay. I wasn’t paying any attention, either.” Josh muttered, and then looked at the guy closer. “Hey, I think I’ve seen you before, or else my mind must have been playing tricks on me. Are you Elliot? My sister’s Katie, and I saw you with her the other day. I’m Josh.”

Anthony was having a slow day at work. Thats what you get for it being a Wednesday. Slowest day at his hardware store. Looking at the clock as he stood behind the counter. He noticed he was hungry and it was a good time as any to head out for lunch. He walked to his office to grab his coat and other things that he needed.
Placing the coat around him, he shut his office door and locked it. Walking to the front door, he made sure everything was clean. No mess, because of this slow day. Usually something would have been spilled onto the floor. Nail, screws, etc. But since the day was so slow there wasnt one. And for this Anthony was glad, he was getting really hungry. He forgot he didn't even eat breakfast that morning.
Leaving the store, he flipped the sign. Out for Lunch. Locking the door as it shut. He turned around and saw Josh. He smiled as he looked both ways before jogging across the semi-busy street. Just as he was going to say hi, he saw Josh start talking to some other guy. He wondered who this man was. He stepped closer with a greeting. "Hi, Josh." he said with a smile.

When the guy said it was okay Elliot was a little relieved. He didn't need a jerk on his case at the moment, which he found quite ironic. Seeing as how he was usually the “jerk” in the situation. He personally preferred the term “empathetically challenged”, but whatever. The point was that the guy didn't bug out. Then he asked if his name was Elliot. That kind of made him a little curious. How did he know his name? He was pretty sure that he never met him. But then he said that Katie was his sister and everything made sense, kind of. At least now he knew how the other guy knew him. This must be the brother she got all emotional about. he thought to himself. Then he smiled. He didn't smile out of friendship or greeting, he did that less than he apologized, he just thought it was ironic.
“Yeah, Im Elliot.” He told him. “Katie’s your sister? Interesting.” he said, a little softly. He was about to say something else when someone else came up to them. He sort of turned his head and rolled his eyes at the same time. What, is he another brother or something? he thought to himself.

Josh looked at Elliot and instantly figured out why Katie didn't like him. He smiled politely, but on the inside he was frowning. He and Katie had almost exactly the same personalities, and Elliot was setting off a chord he didn't like. In fact, Josh felt this almost instantaneous yearning to turn away and forget Elliot.
Then Anthony came. 'Oh great, i'll never get away,' was what Josh thought. But he had an escape plan. "Hey, Anthony. And, yeah, I'm Katie's brother." Josh said, forcing another smile. "However, I really need to go. I'm late for meeting my older brother, Jason. If you'll excuse me." Josh said, and stepped out of both Anthony and Elliot's ways. 'Hmm, I should use the Jason gig more often,' Josh thought as he turned invisible so no one would follow him.
Within moments he was gone, lost in the crowd. |

Anthony wanted to see if Josh wanted to go out for lunch, since he was already going to. But then he disappeared, saying that he was going to meet his brother Jason. But the funny thing was that Katie didn't tell him about this yet. He was surprised that their brothers where in town.
But then he remembered again what the main reason he was on the street. It was to go out for lunch. So he decided he depart to, feeling the wierd vibes from Josh about this guy. "Well I am off as well." he said with a shrug smile. He too then disappeared amongst the crowd.
