5th January
Jennifer was enjoying her day off. It was one of those days where her brother had let her do whatever she wanted to really. Of course she found it irritating that she found it necessary to have permission to do what she wanted, but that was the way she found everything was happening now.
It was a difficult way to work anything she thought to herself, having to need permission for anything, but it was the way she had been made to work and she had seemed to adapt to it. Besides it was nice to spend at least one day not robbing some store somewhere.
Since she had the day to herself she had decided to simply wander around in the city. It wasn’t much to most people, but Jennifer found it rather enjoyable just to be allowed to go where she wanted.
Or she would have it she hadn’t been rather rudely interrupted by her brother texting her. Get here now! Jennifer sighed, something much have happened, to mean she was losing out on doing what she wanted. Just as long as it was something she wouldn’t mind as much, but if nothing had really happened she would be very annoyed. Almost reluctantly she began to push her way through the crowd.

John had found another special that might join his team. Her name was Jennifer. John knew she was about to leave the area for some reason and was now behind her. The second she got away from the crowd he would confront her and ask her to join his team.
John made sure he had his gun with him however. He was trying to remain unkown, especially from this future version of Stephen Adams that was now trying to find him. If this woman refused to join him he would have to kill her. He wished he had one of his lackeys with him, seeing as this chick might toast him before he could do anything.

Jennifer continued to walk, oblivious to the fact that there was someone following her. She was deliberately going to take her time walking, since it would annoy her brother as much as possible if she took forever to get to wherever she was meant to be going, she didn’t actually care. It just looked like it was going to be another day, with her robbing some unsuspecting store.
She wished that she could do something different, be someone important. At the minute she was just a no-one, with an ability that had to stay hidden or she would become a freak of some sort. She could just imagine the sign now; ‘Come and see the fire summoning chick’ and she hated it. She hated it all, if only she could find a way out. She turned a corner, walking down a street that was less crowded, a way out, that was what she needed.

As Jennifer went into a less crowded street John made his move.
"Hello Ms. Blaze. Robbed any good banks recently?" John asked.
John knew that Jennifer had robbed banks because before he went here he had seen most of her history. He also knew she had a brother that semed to command her around.
John made sure he was far enough away from Jennifer that she would have trouble shooting fire at him. This way if she freaked out and attacked him then he could pull out his gun and shoot her, though he didn't like the idea of killing another special, the mere thought made him feel sick.

Jennifer spun around, staring at the guy who had just called out at her. “Who the hell are you?” She demanded, staring at him directly in the eyes. Why was this person following her, and what did they want? She would have a lot of questions to ask when she got a chance, and if he turned out to be looking to make her do something that she didn’t want to do, well she could fry him, and crispy person wasn’t exactly tasty.
“What do you want?” Another question, and Jennifer expected an answer, anyone who was going to stalk her like that should at least explain why. She had been fairly dismissive about being asked about the robberies, but this would take priority in her mind, she had to find out why she was being followed.

"Me? I'm John. I'm a special, just like you, except I have a different ability of course. I'm here because I could use someone with your.... talents. You see I'm the leader of a group that believes that specials shouldn't have to worry about being caught using their ability, or have to worry about being a 'freak' or a 'monster'. In fact, we believe that specials should be dominant, that we should be able to do what we want, whenever we want." John said, figuring that it answered the woman's questions.
John wondered if the woman would actually join the group, or if he would have to kill her, he put his hand to his gun just in case.

“And if I decided not to bother with your group?” Jennifer asked. Not that she honestly had plans anyway, and it seemed like a good idea in her mind, to be dominant, in charge of something big. I could work for her, since she would like the idea of not having to hide her ability anymore, and to be able to rule over those who had no idea about her, that would be even better.
She would probably end up joining them anyway, she was just wondering what use they would have for her ability at the minute, what she would have to do.

John hoped that Jennifer was curious, that she just wanted to know what he would do to people who didn't join them.
"If you didn't join my group I'm sorry to say I would have to kill you." John said pulling out his gun, he didn't point it at Jennifer he just waved around to show that it was there.
"I really hope you do want to join, I would hate to have to kill you." John said, "Your ability would make my plans so much easier."
John wondered if the woman would try and toast him. Just in case John positioned the gun so that it wasn't pointed at Jennifer, but could be in a split second.

Jennifer smiled slightly, despite John pulling out a gun. So it was another of those people who seemed to think that they could control her, except this time she was going to show them. “What do you want me to do?” She asked, walking towards him.
Her power would let her help out in whatever way it could, but then again, what could someone with the ability to manipulate fire do to aid someone who wanted to make specials more important than other people, actually she could do quite a lot, given the right incentive.

"Right now the group's in more of a recruiting stage, we don't have all of the details worked, but we're probably gonna try and destroy some places of politacal importance. Once we get enough notice then we'll go public most likely, tell everyone what we can do, so they know we're better then them. The Goverment will probably set down and let us take over, if not we'll do it by force, then we'll begin to branch out into other countries." John said, explaining his plan.
John didn't like that Jennifer was walking toward him, seeing as the closer she got the easier it would be for her to toast him before he could bring his gun to shoot.
"I'm sorry but please don't take a step closer, I don't really like Pyro's I don't know being close enough to set me on fire before I can do anything."

Jennifer laughed slightly, and stopped walking towards John, so he didn’t trust her, fine in that case she wouldn’t need to trust him either. Still she had some things to ask. “What’s your name, and ability then? And what makes you think that I would want to hurt you?” It was only fair that she knew what his name was, if he knew what hers was.
Still, destroying stuff with her ability seemed like a good idea, or at any rate an amusing one. It would be interesting for her to see just what she was told to burn down.

"My name is John, my ability is a little complicated. I can change vision. I can change it to see the future, past, see through things, see things that are far away, and things similar to that." John said, trying to explain his ability.
John smiled when the woman asked why he he thought she would hurt him, "In this business of mine, you learn not to trusr people when you first meet them. I may know some of your past but I don't know how you think, for all I know you might want to kill me. I may or ay not trust you at some point, I can't really tell. The future is hard to tell, and it gets harder the farther you go."
John still held his gun so that if she were to try and burn him, he could take a shot at her before the fire reached him.

Jennifer almost felt a need to laugh, which she did a little. “So you come here, offer to make me part of something really big, and them you reveal that you don’t actually trust me, because I could burn you into a crisp.” What kind of really stupid person would even consider getting aid off someone who they didn’t trust.
“In that case, what do I have to do to make you trust me, promise not to burn you, or should I show you what I can do completely.” Without words her right hand completely covered itself in a thick red flame, lapping up into the air. Within a second it was gone again. “That’s what I can do John.” She said, “I can fire that at whoever I want.”

"Ya that's pretty much it." John said, with a laugh, "I need powerful people in my group, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna trust all of them. You are a good example. Your ability will make it easier to burn down a building, but your a theif. How am I supposed to know you won't steal from me?" John explained.
John ttook a step back and almost brought up his gun when the woman's bod burst into flames, "It seems you can control your ability, which is good."
"If you want me to trust you then you'll have to do everything I tell you to do." John said.

“How are you supposed to know I will.” Jennifer replied, the more fighting side of her personality showing through. She was more than up for an argument with John, since he had made it clear that he couldn’t trust her, which had only really made her more suspicious about trusting him. She wondered what would happen if she turned on him, and how he could protect himself from her.
Then he made a remark about her control over her own ability. “Of course I can control this.” She said, “I’ve had it for ages, so I think that I would be able to learn how it works.”
