I Wonder (Jack)

Jack frowned in confusion as Becca's eyes grew huge when he mentioned having a power. She apparently knew exactly what he was talking about, and presumably also had an ability. Jack leaned forward as well when Becca leaned across the table towards him, looking around surreptitiously before speaking in a hushed tone, sliding a business card towards him.

Jack studied the business card as he listened to Becca, his eyes growing wide at her revelation. He had done some research on evolved humans, but he had never heard anything about these people, Primatech, that would hunt down evolved humans just to imprison and study them.

You need to hide your gift if you still want to live... Becca's words seemed to resonate in Jack's head. He nodded slowly, absentmindedly reaching down to pet Apollo, overwhelmed by this sudden information. "Thank you," he said sincerely, looking back at Becca.

Becca touched her hand to his since he was in shock. “I’m not trying to scare you but I know what’s its like to be like you.” She looked at him as she admitted she had her own power. “They will find you if you use it in public. I have no idea how or why but they always do.” She figured they probably knew about him already. “They might know about you because you’re famous maybe that’s why they don’t come after you.”

Becca was feeling mad at him by that reason he got to live a semi-normal life and she was the one hiding. Becca fidgeted in her seat as she looked around wondering if any agents were there watching them. She opened the book she was going to buy and ripped the back blank page out, grabbing her pen as she wrote down something. “Here is my cell.” She handed it to him. “Call me if they find you. I can help.” She gave him a smile feeling like in the first time in her life she was doing the right thing by saving people like her.

Jack nodded, slowly, as Becca touched his hand, continuing on about how Primatech would find him, no matter what, if he used his power in public. If they really had that many resources, it seemed strange that they hadn't found him yet, considering that there were quite a few people out there who knew who he was. Although, Jack thought, it must be because no one - except Becca, now - knew that he was an evolved human.

Jack took the piece of paper with her phone number written on it, folding it and tucking it into the inner pocket of his jacket. He was still trying to digest the concept of people that hunted down evolved humans purely to imprison and study them. It sounded like something he would put in one of his books. He smiled back and stood, taking Apollo's leash in his hand. "It was very nice meeting you, Becca," he said. "Thank you."
