Stephen still waited to see what the boy did, he kept his distance because if the boy turned out to be evil he didn't want him to have his abilities.
As John continued to lies to the boy Stephen wanted to intervene but he still didn't want the boy to have his abiltiies so he could go in and attack John.
"He's lieing, He's not your friend, I used to be your friend, and I'm still willing to be, but I won't be if you join this man." Stephen said, deciding that he would just spit out facts that could convince the boy not to join the man.

Eric smiled as John told him he could find his dad and that he was a Friend. Eric was actually happy that he had Friends in this world. It meant he was not alone. Eric didn't want to be alone, he was scared to be by himself. AS John told him that Stephen and James didn't want to hurt him anymore Eric clapped his hands. " YAY!" he said almost as if he was much younger then he appeared. " I want to live." Eric told the man.
Then it appeared Stephen wasn't going to let Eric be manipulated by John. He told him about being Friends with Keith and that John was lying to him. Trying to manipulate him into someone who will do his bidding. But that was the type of person Eric was. He wanted to be used like this. To be someones weapon. He felt this was normal. Then Eric thought of an idea. He didn't know if he could trust John or Stephen but the truth was he didn't care if he could trust them. He only wanted to serve one of them. He wanted them to trust him.
"Hmm... Lets see, I don't know who's lying to me or who's telling the truth. What i do know is i want to be of use somehow. I want my life to have some kind of meaning behind it. I don't care if I'm lied to or beaten on i just want to be special. I want to help. " Eric said then he turned tweeds John." What're you going to do if i join you? how would you use me on your team? " Eric said. He didn't know about the team John was creating but something inside of him thought to ask. Like his memories were there but he didn't know they were. Then he turned to Stephen. " Why should i go with you? Are you fighting for something to?" Eric then asked him.

John smiled as the boy said he wanted to be used, that meant he would definitely join him, because Stephen had no use for a slave, for that was what the boy was asking to be.
"I fight against humans because they would kill us if they knew what we are capable of, you can mimic abilities through touch, I can see things in different aspects, and that boy mimics abilities by being near people with abilities. If normal people knew about that they would lock us up and experiment on us to see how we worked, and if that didn't kill us then they will." John explained.
John knew the boy would join him, not because of his abilility but because Stephen wouldn't be able to confince the boy otherwise.

Stephen knew that he wouldn't be able to stop the boy from joining John, the boy wanted to be used and Stephen had no use for him, he hadn't been in this new world of abilities long enough to pick a side himself.
Stephen wondered at the boys question, what was he fighting for? Stephen pondered on what he would fight for using his abilities, what his goal would be, it took him a second but he figured it out.
"I fight for a better world, a world were both humans and specials live in peace, were we don't have to live in fear or be feared, I believe humans can accept us, it's just people like this man that make it hard for them." Stephen said, believing that was a great thing to fight for.

Eric listened to the two talk about what they were fighting for. What they were trying to do. Eric took in what John had to say. He was right some people would kill them if they found out what they could do. But not all of them would, Only some. Eric thought this was a bit like his own ideas. He could see himself working along side him. Eric didn't want to be someones lab rat. "You make a good point. " He told John. He turned to Stephen as he Begin to explain his goals. Eric smiled. "You wish for a world that will never exist. Its human nature to fear what they themselves do not understand. We are misunderstood. Having these abilities makes us more powerful then them. You expect them to just let us live along side them? " Eric asked Stephen.
"It seems your goals are alike. John and Stephen you both want are kind to live on. There is something we can do to solve all of this. Lets come out to the world. If there are people who will except us for who we are then these people will be allowed to live along side us as in Stephens explanation. However like in Johns explanation if they hunt and try to kill us we will kill them before they have the chance. So lets join forces. Stick together and help each other complete are goals. "

John nooded as the boy to him how he felt about the ideas he and Stephen had, the boy wasn't stupid, which was a good thing because he couldn't deal with another person like Edward, one of his lackeys who said and did stupid things. It was good to have another smart person on his team.
"That might be a good idea, though I don't think we should go public just yet, I've recently been having these visions of a group that will try and round up people like us, and I think the best to fight them in the shadows instead of open." John said after the boy said they should come out to the world.
(OOC: I'll post as Stephen later)

Stephen wasn't sure about joining a group that would kill people that didn't like his kind, but he was now starting to think that it would be unavoidable.
"I'm not sure if I'll join, I just started learning about my powers and the idea of killing people isn't very appealing to me." Stephen admitted, "I'll have to think about it."
Stephen decided it would be best to paint a few pictures of the future to see what it would be like, it might give him an idea about whether or not he should join the group or not.
Stephen grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper and thought about how the abiliy worked, he consentrated on the piece of paper when he saw something in it, his eyes glazed white and he began to draw.
The first picutre Stephen drew was of a plane crashing into the ground and exploding, he swept it aside and immedietly started another picture.

As John told Eric of this group who wanted to round them up he agreed that going public now would put a big spot light on them that would say (here i am come kill me.) Eric knew that this was the best choice. He nodded to John. " Yeah we should stay in the shadows and fight them. Take them down one by one and make them pay for Turing to hunt us. " Eric told John. Eric didn't know it but his memories have been slowly coming back to him. Hes forgotten he lost them but now remembers who he is and who John and Stephen are. He remembered allot of things from when Keith was alive. He was confused but also it felt like he knew them all along.
Eric heard Stephen talking about not killing people and then Eric thought of something. ( Maybe he just doesn't want anyone to die. ) Eric smirked. " You know we don't have to kill them. We could imprison them. No bloodshed needs to be formed if they cant see us for who we are they can live there lives in a cage. Even animals are not prejudice to the abilities or skills a human could do. What gives them the right to look down on us and hunt us because where better then them?" Eric asked sarcastically.
As Stephen suddenly started to draw the pictures Erick smiled. He sat down in a Indian position and watched. He was amazed. Suddenly he had flash backs of how he and Keith used the ability in the past. Erick didn't say much, He mostly observed. He thought it was cool and felt a little rush inside his veins. He felt the urge to join in but his curiosity to what Stephen was drawing prevented him. He took the picture Stephen drew to John. Like a dog fetching a stick for its master. Then he sat back down a proceeded to watch as Stephen drew more. Eric liked his white eyes and thought that this ability was a good one to have. As was Johns All sight, If he hadn't for seen the group they could have been targets themselves.

John was beginning to really like this kid, he had similar ideas to him and wasn't stupid. He also seemed to know that Stephen would be a good ally, because he kept countering everything Stephen said. John used his ability and found the boys name ws Eric.
"Yes we could imprison them, it would take awhile to round them up but we could." John said, agreeing with Eric.
John watched as Stephen began to draw the future. John sat down in a chair and watched, wondering what the boy would draw. Soon after the first picture was finished Eric took it and gave it to John, so the boy was obedient too.
John looked at the picture and saw a plane crashing into the ground, John activated his ability and found the point in time were the plane would crash, he then began to see how this could be used to his advantage in any way.
"Stephen is going totry and stop the crash, but if he fails people will find him perfectly fine and he will be captured. If we were to save him after he is captured then we might be able to get him to see just how cruel normals can be to us." John said, partly to Eric, partly to himself.

Stephen kept painting more pictures and putting them off to the side. It seemed like he was in a frenzy, he drew the pictures quickly, like his life depended on drawing as many pictures as possible.
Stephen wasn't thinking, he was to focused on trying to draw the pictures.
As he came out of the precog state he looked at all of the pictures he had drawn, a few of them showed him with people he didn't know, two boys and two girls.
Stephen picked up the ones with the other kids and walked away from the rest of the pile, he would look at them later.
"Who are these people?" Stephen asked himself.
(OOC: You can do whatever you want with the other pictures.)

Eric was happy that John wasn't agents his idea to capture the people instead of killing them. It wouldn't be that hard to Capture the normal people. Not when there is so much that they could do to fight them. It would be a piece of cake. Or so he thought. John then told Eric that Stephen would try to stop the crash. He would be captured easily if he failed. Eric then had a worried look on his face. He didn't want him to get captured. He liked him and felt like they would become good Friends on this team. However John continued to say that it would be a good thing.
That if he was captured they could use it to there advantage to make him see what the people were dealing with could relay do. Eric nodded. " So we have a plan now. He has to see how cruel they are in order to truly understand that this must be done. " Eric added. He knew that once you experience something for yourself you will get a new look on things. Looking at it from another angle that you've missed before.
Eric looked at all of the pictures that Stephen drew. They were all so good and artistic. Eric tried to glance at them all. He took a handful to John who was sitting in his chair. And then he returned to get more. He sat down and looked at them. He noticed there were some failure people. " Hey. These guys are dead." Eric told John and Stephen. There was a picture of DL Hawkins, Issac Mendez and a little girl Shanti Also in the background was Daniel Linderman and some blond haired teenager. It was very odd. But this picture captivated Eric.
He turned to another. It was of that Tiger James had. Now it was with Eric. He felt like he knew this would happen somehow. But it was weird. How and why would Eric have that tiger near him. He only thought of one thing. He would meet that guy from earlier. Stephen seemed to have drawn a picture of him standing near other kids. He seemed to question who they were. Eric hadn't known any other kids his age. " We have to find them." Eric simply said. He wondered if they were the people on the plan that will crash. Maybe Stephen will try to save those kids.

John saw that Stephen had drawn pictures of him with four other kids. John had seem them before when he had looked through Stephen's future. They were a group of kids that wanted to save the world. Stephen would join them, partly because he didn't have many friends, partly because he did want to save the world.
John wondered if he could get those kids to join his group. Not all of them had fighting abilities but they could help him with other things.
As John was thinking this Eric gave him a pile of pictures. He began to sort through them. He stopped when he found a picture of Stephens adoptive mothe and sister, dead with their heads sliced open. John didn't know what to make of this, so he folded the picture and put it in his pocket.
John continued to look through the pictures, trying to find something interesting.

Stephen continued to look through the pictures of him and the four kids, trying to understand what they meant. He didn't however, the pictures were to strange.
"I don't get these pictures. They are to weird." Stephen said, putting the pictures down.
Stephen looked to the boy, "Won't I just run into these guys anyway? Aren't these pictures of the future?"
Stephen began to wonder what all of the pictures he had drawn meant. He saw the man John with a few of them and teleported to him, taking one of the pictures. It showed a plane flying into the ground and exploding.
"What the...? Why did I draw this? It must be important." Stephen said, looking at the picture.

Eric didn't have much friends either so he liked the idea that Stephen would meet up with more kids his age. However Eric was not in the picture. Did that mean he wasn't there? Or just he wasn't in view of what the painting allowed them to see. Eric didn't know if he would become there friend also. Stephen didn't seem like he knew them yet. He asked Eric if he would just meet them in the future since there drawings of that time. Eric nodded. " Yeah, unless the future changes you'll be able to meet them soon." Eric answered.
The plane crashing was a big deal. It was going to kill the passengers most likely. Maybe Stephen would try to become the hero and stop the crash. And thats when the guys will come in and try to capture and kill him. Eric didn't want to put him in danger. He didn't like that plan but if John was sure they could bust him out and then make Stephen see that fighting them has to be done then so be it.
Eric continued to look at the art work. He put the ones of him with the tiger and the seemingly dead people in his shirt pocket. He looked on and then spotted another painting he thought was interesting. It was a picture of that blond haired teen from before. But this time he was talking with Stephen and he had on a ring like the one Stephen had, Eric walked over to him. " Hey look isn't that ring like yours?" He asked.

John let Stephen take the picture of the plane, this way Stephen wouldn't suspect him of trying to manipulate him. John knew that Stephen didn't like the thought of anyone ever dying, much less a plane load, so he would definitely try and save them. John would go on the plane as well.... there would be specials there that would be of interest to him.
As Eric found the picture of Stephen and some boy John stood up, this was something he didn't know about. It seemed that the boy had a ring similar to the one Stephen wore, though John didn't know much about what they did other then that Stephen seemed to have the same ability as Jennifer, a member of his team, when he wore it.
"This is very... interesting. I don't think I've ever seen anything like these rings, It looks like they give a person an ability, Stephen seems to have a fire ability when he touches it." John said as he looked at the painting.
