Stephen kept a straight face as the woman made the sarcastic remark. It seemed she was cautious, which normally was good, but didn't help him with trying to talk to her about his team thing. The man however, seemed cautious but also curious, because he pointed toward a part the resteraunt were no one was sitting.
"Guess that's a good enough place to talk." Stephen replied as he walked toward one of the tables.
As he sat down Stephen came up with how he would talk to the two.
"You can do remarkable things, things normal people will never be able to do. I doubt you will believe me, so I'll give you a demostation." Stephen said as he used the mans ability to camouflage his hand, he held it up so they could get a better look of his hand, which was now very hard to see.
"There are people like us who can do similar things, I've met people who can read minds, produce fire, and many other things. There are people like us who use their abilities in ways that are inhumane. For instance, there's a person who sent a young boy back in time, and now the boy is older and is having trouble finding out who he is, and where he belongs. I want to find the person who did that, and find out why they would do that. I can't do that alone however." Stephen said to whoever had come to listen to him.

It was the naïve that jumped into things with complete strangers and sure she could be classed as an overcautious person but it was better to be safe than sorry when it came to life in New York. Trinity didn’t feel right and it wasn’t just the fact that she was running low on fuel in her stomach but in fact this man, he just sent her certain vibes which weren’t common even when she got all wobbly around gorgeous hunks. She had spoke her mind sarcastically and hoped that would do justice but instead Josh wanted to hear what this was about and so he suggested a place inside, a public place which eliminated the reservations about walking into the unknown. Trinity was tempted to leave and then stop; she couldn’t just leave even if this whole thing smell of something more than a little fishy. Josh was young; he didn’t know how things worked around here. Reluctantly she followed them both to the table a little after and that was as far as she would go, she didn’t sit just stood there listening and watching and it was the latter which grabbed her attention, his hand blending perfectly into the background and then returning to normal, that was…that was something out a sci-fi movie, CGI right? “I….what just happened here? I….um your hand just….abilities?! I must have really banged my head in that fall because this is….abilities?!” She had no earthly idea what was going on right now and was now really wishing she had took the chance and just left.

Josh looked at the man, anstounded, how could this man do what he could do? He knew his sister had a similar ability but he didn't know there was someone else who could do what he could do.
"How can you do what I do?" was all Josh could say to the man.
Josh looked at the woman, who was even more freaked out then he was. She didn't seem to know about abilities. She seemed to have trouble coming up with a way to respond to the man's dissapearing hand. Josh wondered what ability the woman had, seeing as the man said they both had abilities.

Stephen watched as the woman freaked out, she must not have known about abilities. The man however took it much better. He seemed to only be surpised that Stephen could do what he did.
"My ability allows me to mimic the abilities of others, for a limited time anyway. It also allows me to sense the abilities of others, seeing as normally I don't have enough time to find out what I can do. That part of my ability helped me found you two." Stephen said, explaining his ability.
"You." Stephen said, pointing toward the woman, "Your ability is hard for me to figure out. I think your ability allows you to use the ability of a person you touch, I'm not really sure if you have a time limit like me or not, I'm still learning how to use this part of my ability."

It was a shock to see someone’s hand vanish and then return as if temporarily removed from the arm but Josh didn’t seem to find it surprising at all. He in fact claimed it was his ability, what the hell was going on here? All she came in here for was to give into temptation just once and look what happens. She gets knocked over and is now being told she has an ability which was good intelligence or her martial arts, it was different. Her ability allows her to use others from simple touch? That is insane. She doesn’t have any powers, has never exhibited anything from anyone she has touched so either these two guys were pulling her leg or this was really just a dream and she was bond to wake up sooner or later, hopefully sooner. “I’ve told you, I haven’t got any ability…I can’t…do that to my hand or any other body part and for that matter anything else….” Denial, she was denying it all, she didn’t want to think about it but now she was and it was scary.

Josh stared at the woman as Stephen said that he thought her ability allowed her to use abilities by touching the person with the ability, did that mean she could do what he could do? It seemed weird, having to people who might have multiple abilities, seeing as Stephen wasn't positive about the womans ability.
The woman kept denying everything, she refused to believe what Stephen had said. Josh wondered why Stephen bothered to tell them this and rememebred what the man had said only moments ago, he was trying to find a man that had sent a young boy back in time so he could figure out why the man had done it? Josh thought that it wasn't very serious at first but then he thought about how the person who did that could probably do more then just that, and that was why Stephen was after him, to make sure he wasn't gonna do anything bad.
"I'm not sure about joining your group. I'll have to ask my sister about it first." Josh said.

Stephen watched the woman as she denied what he had said. Stephen wished he could supercharge his ability or something, then he could tell her how to use her ability, but alas, the only two abilities he had belonged to her and the man.
"Please, try to calm down. I know you probably don't believe this, but I'm telling you, it's all real. I know you haven't used anyones ability yet, I can sense only your ability, nothing else. That means you have a chance to turn back and forget everything I've told you, or you can accept the truth and we can continue this conversation." Stephen said, deciding to let the woman leave if she wanted. He felt bad for telling her about abilities, seeing as they were curses as well as gifts.

Denial was hardly the most accurate term to use as Trinity was feeling completely shocked and terrified at the simple thought of this conversation she was involved in with really two complete strangers. Abilities, sure we all had abilities like some are naturally good at science and others at sports, it is natural selection but this, hands disappearing and talks about her what borrowing someone else’s power, it was ridiculous. She wished she had never come into this place again but at least she learned the lesson, never give into temptation even when you are starving hungry. “Probably don’t believe this, try hell yeah I don’t believe this. It…it just isn’t real ok. I’m a college student in my final year, there is nothing special about me believe me, I would know and to be honest you know, I’m just going to mark this down to a really bad dream and move on because…whew is this weird right now.” She wasn’t trying top be nasty but really, this was way beyond her.

Josh looked at Stephen as he told the woman she could leave. didn't he know she was in danger? All specials were. No special was ever save, no matter how much they denied their abilities.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that their are people who try and do things to people like us? I work for a company that captures specials, and tries to find out what they do and then watch them to make sure thet're safe. That's bad enough but there are people who hate us. Want to kill people like us. Can't you see that?" Josh said.
Josh turned to the woman, who was about to leave, "Did you hear that? If you leave, there's no way your gonna have a normal life. No matter how much you use say you don't have an ability."

Stephen sighed as the woman said she would leave, hopefully her ability wouldn't be noticed by anyone, it would probably stay that way as long as she never used another person's ability, and he believed she wouldn't.
Stephen was about to say good-bye to the woman when the man looked at him, telling him that he couldn't let the woman go, people would hunt her down, regardless of weither she denied her abilities or not.
"I know that, but I think as long as she doesn't get anyone's ability she'll be fine. If she never get's anyones ability she'll be normal. Why do you want to take that from her?" Stephen argued, somewhat angry. This woman might be able to have a normal life, a life Stephen never had and never would have, and this man wanted to take that from her?

If it wasn’t bad enough that her hunger, that her mind was full of ideas about this conversation and really she just couldn’t deal with the magnitude of information she was receiving which was normally her strong suit. She had no ability nor did she want any, she was quite content with just living her life the way it was and this whole conversation which was frankly ludicrous would have just been filed away as nothing more than that, a fantasy conversation about a television show, sci-fi, whatever but now they were talking about a company that hunts down people that have these….abilities and tag them? She paused for a moment in her exit and turned back around, “Well it is a good thing I don’t have any ability then isn’t it unless you count my necessity of freaking out right about now because you two, I mean this is…..” She was babbling again and this time a level of fear and anger was reaching up to the source and within seconds she faded into the background like part of the scenery. “…ridiculous right because this isn’t sci-fi camp here and I…..what are you looking at?” Trinity raised her arms out in plead, they were staring at her like they were looking right through her and ignoring her. This was unreal as she stood before them, unaware herself that she had faded into the background.

Josh looked at Stephen, wondering how he didn't see that it didn't matter if she hadn't aquired any abilities, she was still a special and that was enough. Josh decided to just ingnore him.
Josh listened as the woman continued to say she did not have an ability, he hoped that no one was watching, he didn't want to make a scene.
Then all of the suddent the woman disapeared, and Josh really hoped no on was looking. josh looked around to be sure, but no one was staring at were Trinity was.
"I find it hard to believe you don't have an ability, seeing as your using mine," Josh said to the woman.

Stephen watched as the woman disapeared. Stephen didn't understand how he hadn't sensed it before. Stephen tried harder and found it. So it was definetly to late for her now.
Stephen felt sorry for her, she had been so close to being able to walk out of here a like a normal person. Now all the stuff the man said could happen, would happen. So now Stephen had no choice but to drag her into this, for her own safety.
"Look at yourslef, your not normal. You can change the color of your skin to the same color as your suroundings, I had hoped you had not aquired any abilities but it seems you have. Now you can't leave and forget all of this happened, it will be easier for the people the man here was talking about to find you." Stephen said.

Trinity brought her hands up, looking at them as if she was expecting to see something out of the ordinary and well she did and it freaked her out even more than the start of this conversation had. She allowed her mouth to hang open in sheer shock and then she uttered, watching as her body seemed to return to normal and she immediately looked up, taking a few steps back from them both, “No…I don’t believe it, what….what….” She snapped and rushed forward, grabbing this stranger that started this whole thing with the intention of pinning him up against the wall, “What did you do to me!” It was causing a scene, her raised voice and the fact she had lost her temper but now a days, nobody cared about these little things, it was the norm now.

Josh sighed as the man finally saw that the woman could not live a normal life. Josh wondered what they would do next, would they have to teach her to use the ability or something? Or would they have to stop her from going insane?
It seemed that Josh had to pick the latter choice, seeing as the woman was trying to pin Stephen to a wall. Why would she try to make a scene like this? Did she have mental issues or something?
Josh ran toward the two of them, hoping to stop fight that would probably happen before someone got hurt.
