This was home? Well...where he was born apparently from what the records said. And those records he hacked, he would have to thank that guy later on. Derlyn was on his way to try and find out about his past. That was the original plan until Derlyn got side tracked by money.
Or coins whatever you would like to call them. With his little electromagnetism and a pass by of someones pockets. It was so easy and fun, sadly he was too young to cash the coins in. Damn laws. he thought before sighing. "Well since these are pretty much useless to me." looking around he notice a homeless person. Or maybe an pretend homeless person.
He didn't care dropping the coins in his cup he hurried off to leave. All this stealing was boring him. And he didn't realize he walked pass the where he was supposed to go. Now he was stuck in Las Vegas...Yay! Derlyn looks around and the at a sign. A glowing neon sign...he could touch it and no one was around.
Putting out his hand electricity flowed out touching his palm. He was absorbing it or what he liked to call it, 'surging' almost like gettting high. Sending a rush of energy through his body. It takes a mad man like him to think of something like that. As the sign began to flash and he closed his hand stopping the surge.
Breathing hard he shook his head.

Sam was just walking the streets of Vegas, as he was on vacation. He needed to clear his mind, even though his job was really nothing to clear his mind from. He loved his job. He was the owner of a comic book store in Lawrence, Kansas. Lawrence is a small town. But it was a good place to start any business. As he continued to walk, something caught his eye.
Turning to the source of the distraction, he noticed a young man holding on to one of the neon lights. He was wondering why this boy would do such a thing. But then he noticed that this light began to blink as small lightning bolts surrounded the man’s hand. This man was a special, just like him.
Curious to what this man’s ability was, he approached him. “Excuse me, sir? What are you doing?” he asked.

Derlyn was way too involved with the surging process that he didn't even hear someone came close to him. He really needed to stop this showing his ability and all. Then he was startled really badly by the guy, "Oh...absolutely nothing, just completely losing my mind here." "That among other things." Leon adding his own sly mental remarks. How badly Derlyn wanted to tell him to shut up but he knew that he might actually scream it. So he decided to stay quiet.
"Why?" the real thing he wanted to say was, 'Why what did ya' see?' but that would make him more suspicious. Something that he didn't need to deal with at this moment. Placing his hands in his pocket he made direct eye contact. "Anyway...Nice to somewhat meet ya', but I have things to do." And people to fry.[/i]
Turning away he stopped to stare at the neon sign. There were slight scorch marks to where he touched it. Unlucky for him that it looked like a hand mark. That would be hard to explain as he pulled the hand out of his pocket, same marks. "Dammit." shaking his hands together only made the marks spread. Really never his day.

Sam couldn’t help but chuckle at the man’s first comment. He knew that this man definitely had an ability. What it was he didn’t know. “Well…” Sam began, “…I noticed that you have an ability. Like me.” he said. Then he noticed that he almost said it to loud. He began to stare at the people around them. He nodded as the man was ready to depart the very odd situation. Looking back at the neon sign he noticed the black mark of a handprint. Turning back around to face the man, he noticed the man too had a blank film over his hands.

“…I noticed that you have an ability. Like me.” Sighing Derlyn almost touched his face but the black marks were still on his hands so he rubbed it off on his black jeans. "Seriously is everyone w--I mean I meet have an ability." he slipped up almost about to say 'we'. That would mean accepting Leon as something besides a mental problem. And a cancer in his mind. Other than that Derlyn would try to focus on this person right now.
"Really, so what can you do? Fly, lift stuff super heavy, read minds?" he replied. Most abilities he has seen before with a hint of sarcasim in his voice. "And you call me many words that is the thanks ya' give to your kind?" Why does Leon always have to be right Derlyn wondered many times. It never truly helped the cause for him to disappear it only gave Derlyn reason for him to stay. Either way he made sense sadly.
"Sorry. Kinda on edge lately." he apologized. Still meeting others with abilities was better than meeting someone who thought you as a freak. Didn't need that on his life right now.

Samuel listened to the man as he sort of talked to himself, or it so seemed. But then the man began to question to what ability he had. “I have a good memory. Enhanced Memory, they call it.” Sam said. Sam then ignored the mans apology, he had nothing apologize about. Sam looked back over to the neon sign and then to the mans burnt hand. “What were you doing over there?” he asked as he pointed to the neon sign that now had a black scorch mark on it.

"Enhanced memory?" Oh yes because that is like the coolest power ever. Yeah if I was gonna take a test! Well that or learn how to build a bomb. SHUT UP![/i] Derlyn shouted through his mind. Sure that might have been what Derlyn was going to say or was actually thinking. But wasn't going to actually bring his self to that level.
With the question of what he was doing Derlyn began to stammer, "W-w-well...ya s-s-seeeee, um. Tch...um...Yeah." How could he explain what he was doing exactly? "Absorbing electricity back inside our body to get off on a short rush..." Leon said breaking free for a quick second. His face plain like it was just an every day conversation. But even he did somewhat had to admit that did sound a little off. Even in his world.
Derlyn gave a weak laugh before swearing out Leon he really needed to take care of one thing at a time."Let me explain that I have electromagnetism...Think...um...lets see." tapping his chin Derlyn tried to think of a good example of what his powers were like, "Think Magneto excpet weaker...or better Static Shock." GEEK!" Leon said with a cover cough.

Samuel listened as the man had questioned his ability. Sam thought over on how to explain his ability a little better. “Yes, enhanced memory. I can pretty much remember anything.” he tried to explain. Sam wasn’t a good explainer, at least that how he saw himself.
Then the man began to explain his ability. The other man saw it easier to compare his ability to someone more memorable. He referenced Magneto to compare his ability. The man said his ability was just like Magneto’s but weaker. Sam laughed a little as it just so happened that Magneto was Sam’s favorite comic book villain ever.
But something hit him when he was thinking over the conversation the two of them were having. He didn’t know this other man’s name. “If you don’t mind, but what is you name?” he asked.

Names, those were easy. Considering his wasn't even resigetered that being said he had no records. Or almost no records they were just extremely hard to find. That was the reason why Derlyn had a hard time finding out who he really was. Someone had them hidden away and he was going to find out why. "Derlyn Ravenhardt." he said why thinking about other things.
"So if you don't mind, what exactly is your name and reason in being here." Derlyn asked. Then for a moment thinking it wasn't fair not to explain his own reason in being in the same place. "I'm here digging up information. But it got boring...And I kinda got lost." He knew he was way off so "kinda" was just the light way of putting something.

Sam listened to the man, Derlyn Ravenhardt, say his name. He thought that this was an interesting name. “My name is Sam Miller. And I am here on vacation from my business. I don’t really know why I choose Las Vegas, I don’t really like to gamble.” Sam answered as Derlyn explained why he was hee in Las Vegas.
“Nice to meet you Derlyn.” he said as he stuck his hand, waiting to shake hands with the man.

"Really, gambling is actually fun. Well to me." he said with a laugh, just because he was too young didn't mean he never has gambled. "Same, I'm just glad you have an ability...for some reason I can't stop meeting people like us. I would assume that to be a good thing." he said while shaking Sam's hand. "Are you to tell me though that you have no sort of fun here at all. I mean come on, Las Vegas, 'City of Lights' and yet you don't gamble. What type of business would you vacation from to be here and not have a blast?"
It wasn't that gambling was the whole reason to be in Las Vegas. It was the only reason Derlyn likes to do here. Why he doesn't know. Thinking about it now he just likes money a lot, from pick-pocketing to other minor robberies. Money had to make his world go round, him being homeless and all, living inside his SUV. Which would eventually need to be fixed. Then again it is on the verge of being repossessed.
Either way his life sucked he was just lucky to have enough money to have clothes and go to hotels.

Sam knew it sounded stupid to come to Vegas without explaining why after he said so. He was still on a vacation, but it wasn’t a vacation most people his age would spend time off doing. So he decided to go into a bit deeper into it then he had already did. “I am actually here for another reason. There is a comic convention going on for the next few days starting tomorrow. So that’s why I am here.” he explained only beginning to feel a bit geeky now. He smiled.

"Really...I'm shocked that one is here." "Yeah so am I, I mean the City of Sin will eventually be renamed the City of Nerds. Urgh..." Many times Derlyn wished that he could punch Leon in the gut at least once. Oh how fun dreams would be if they came true, eh? As he then started to think Derlyn looked into the air. "Huh..." there was nothing to say at this moment.
"I wish i knew that...then I would have probably dressed up...probably..." "God damn I hate you so much right now!"[/i] As if Derlyn could bring his self to care about what Leon thinks of him.
