Stephen watched as the other kids began to laugh at Henry, he didn't join them, he picked up the twenty and watched as Henry's hand emitted a strange light or something onto the pool table. Stephen stared at his hands curiously, did he have multiple abilities as well?
Stephen read Henry's mind to see his intentions and found that he was debating whether to kill everyone or not. Stephen 's body stiffened in preparation to teleport to Henry and then teleport both of them out of here so no one would get hurt, but Henry decided against it and went to pick up the ball.
Stephen smirked back when Henry talked about him going to a homeless shelter. It seemed that he had hurt Henry's pride a little for him to be insulting him.
Stephen was curious about what exactly Henry could do and followed him into the place that sold smoothies, making sure that he wasn't followed.
"Hey Henry wait up." he said as he jogged to catch up with Henry.

Henry kept walking until he reached the stand and ordered a Strawberry Kiwi Freeze. It wasn't like he didn't hear Stephen, it was just Henry didn't want to hear him. It was bad enough he lost in what was the most humiliating way what so ever. He did not want to hear the kid gloating about it either. He was oddly breathing too hard. he could practically hear his nostrils flaring as he waited for his smoothie to hurry. The less time he was here the better.
"Hurry up." he muttered under his breath. He started tapping against the counter, in a rhythmic fashion. It was odd that he even actually had a rhythm to his temper. Maybe it was the fact that he was getting better at controlling it. That, or his powers just gave him a natural rhythm. Closing his eyes, Henry tried to calm himself. Must, not kill. Must. Not. Kill he repeated to himself. It wasn't that he was going to kill anyone for real. It was just a mantra he picked up.
Opening his eyes, Henry was thankful to see the smoothie pop up in front of him. Thanking the lady, Henry turned, taking a sip. He almost choked on it when he saw Stephen right behind him. "Jesus kid don't do that." he growled. Starting to march, Henry asked, "What do you want?" expecting Stephen to follow him as he walked out the building. Less chance anyone would see if Henry accidentally went Sylar.

Stephen was annoyed that Henry wouldn't acknowlage him, it was really testing his patience, but he stood near him, hoping that the sore loser would finally talk to him and tell him about his ability.
Henry was surpised that Stephen was behind him, but he just walked past him and out toward the exit, asking him what he wanted.
Stephen walked up next to Henry, he looked around to make sure no one was nearby berfore he said anything, "So what are you able to do exactly, what's your power?"
Stephen felt his hunger begin to grow as his curious did, he wanted to know what Henry could do, and he planned to find out.
Stephen followed Henry out of the building, he wondered what Henry planned to do, he hoped it wouldn't be anything violent, he probably wouldn't be able to stop his hunger if that was what happened.

Despite it looking like Henry wasn't listening, he really was. He didn't mean to come off as a douche, he just didn't like to lose. Call him a sore loser, he wouldn't care. Losing meant humiliation. Henry didn't like to be humiliated. He didn't like others laughing at him. It always reminded him of the "good old" days. He did not want to return to those days. Never!Never, ever, ever!
In the middle of his mental rant, Henry stopped when he heard Stephen ask for his ability. Henry stopped, his lips still on the straw, mid suck. Pinching the straw, Henry turned to Stephen, pulling at his ear. "Um excuse me?" He stopped pulling at his ear, and stared at Stephen through narrowed eyes. "What did you just asked me?" It was a rhetorical question really. He heard what Stephen asked for. He just didn't like it. "You sound like Sylar."
Henry took another sip of his smoothie, scratching the back of his ear lob as he did. It was something he was getting accustomed to. Mess with his ear every time he found something...interesting. Tilting his head, Henry narrowed his eyes at Stephen. "Why so curious? Is it that bad to find out? Something you want to find out?" Henry asked. He had bent his straw a while ago and while he spoke to Stephen, his finger was spinning around ever so slightly, the straw following it perfectly.

Stephen was annoyed by Henry's attitude, he really needed to get over himself, this was more important then his pride. Stephen hadn't met another kid with multiple abilities since he met Keith/Eric and hadn't seen him in awhile. Plus Stephen hadn't examined the mind of a person with multiple abilities, and if this guy had the same hunger as him then he could figure out how it worked and maybe he could lose it himself.
"Sylar? The evil guy I've heard of? What does he ask people about there powers all the time and annoys them to death?" Stephen said with a chuckle, he remembered hearing about the Sylar guy once before when the Youth Center was a school but he didn't here much more then a name.
Stephen wondered why Henry was asking him why he wanted to know about his abilities so badly. Wasn't curiosity enough, or was he aware that Stephen's hunger was growing.
"Why don't you just tell me what you do, it's been awhile since I've met another person with abilities, especially one that's around my age." Stephen said, his eyes narrowing back at Henry, he wished this guy would just tell him what he could do so Stephen wouldn't have to find out through brain examining.

Had returned to sipping his smootie as Stephen began to talk. It was a natural thing for him to do. Plus annoying the kid was kinda fun. He really did feel like a kid at a candy store whenever he annoyed someone. It was kind of sick pleasure that he started to take interest in. Annoying someone was kind of his way of feeding his hunger. Henry had discovered a while ago that his hunger was different from Sylar's. Though they both feed on leaerning something, Henry discovered learning something about a person feed his curiosity. For him it was learning how far or how much push it would take to tick someone off.
"Actually, Sylar asked to see what they can do, annoys them, then chop off the top of their heads to see inside their heads. But I'm sure you already know that." Henry said smugly. "And he's not evil. He's just got a lot of issues. Issues that made him slightly insane, but he's a good guy underneath all the blood." Henry added. Ok, so maybe Sylar wasn't really a good guy, but hey, Henry liked to make fun of people, even if they weren't there to hear it.
"Kid, super powered kids like us are rare." Henry said as he began to pace around Stephen, taking the occasional sip of his smoothie. He did this for two reasons. One, to gather his train of thought and two, just for the fact that it would annoy Stephen even more. "Our powers developed faster than adults. Just a random fact, did you know, that the youngest powered person was like, eight years old. Now that's something." Henry said.
"As for my powers, I'm surprised you haven't figured it out by now." Henry said, tilting his head and smirking at Stephen. holding up the now empty cup, Henry tossed it into the air. Just as it was about to come down, he waved his hand and the cup went straight towards the trashcan. However, with his poor aim, the cup went passed the trashcan and through an open window. "Whoops. My bad." Henry said sheepishly.

Stephen really didn't like how much Henry seemed to enjoy annoying him, he was really having trouble convincing himself not to chop the kids head open, it seemed that his negative feelings for Henry fed his hunger just as much as the fact that he had at least two abilities.
Stephen listened to what Henry had to say and was surprised that he knew that Stephen had examined people's minds, Stephen knew that Henry didn't read his mind, he would have felt it, so he must have the strange ability that allowed him to understand things quicker but also gave him the hunger.
"Really, eight years old? My powers manifested when I was four, I mimicked someones powers and sent myself back in time to past, and I've been here eversince because unfortunetly most of the abilities I acquire only last for a day." Stephen said, deciding to leave out the part that he had also erased his memories so that Henry might think he had been using his powers for the past ten years.
Stephen watched as Henry used his mind to throw a cup through a window, "I already know you can do that, and I also know that you can do something with your hands, and if you aren't gonna tell me I'll just have to find out this way."
Stephen's hunger was almost in complete control, he lifted up his hand and sent a wave of invisible energy at Henry, hoping to pin him against a wall.

"Four years old? Huh, so I must be wrong about the youngest kid. Then again you said it yourself. You sent yourself back in time so I'm not sure if that counts or not. Oh well, it's not like it matters or not. It's not a competition or anything." Henry babbled. He started to think about what Stephen told him. The boy's ability was different than his. Henry himself could simply take people's powers. His original power allowed him to understand things, even people at a first glance.
Intuitive aptitude was the first ability he ever hand, and he had to live with it for almost all his life. He learned to perfect his ability to simply learn things about people with ease. It wasn't until he had killed someone and taken their ability that Henry learned he could get something else out of his ability.
Henry looked at Stephen with his own annoyed expression. "Impatient much?" Henry asked. The next thing he knew, he felt his feet leave the ground. He felt the air pass by him. Then he felt his back touch a nearby wall, painfully. Groaning in pain, Henry bit his lip to prevent himself from verbally expressing his discomfort. He glared at Stephen. One of his lesser points was his short temper. He had once been a fairly nice, calm boy, but ever since his first kill, Henry had been slipping into a more, darker persona.
"Ok, ok. No need to get serial killer on. Just, just calm it down a bit." Henry told him. A smirk formed on his face. "You wanna know what I can do? You're going to have to let me go first. If you wanna see what else I can do. You already know I can move things with my mind. It's basic crap. What you saw in there, I can emit the same energy as the sun through my hands. Wanna know more, just let me down." Henry told him.

Stephen wasn't sure if he should let Henry go, for one he didn't know what Henry would try and do and secondly he wanted to have Henry's powers as well. He did on the other hand, not want to kill people anymore and would have the powers for the day at least.
"Fine then." Stephen said.
Stephen dropped his hand and let Henry drop to the ground, despite his better judgment. He hoped Henry didn't't try anything, mostly because he didn't need the attention, he had already fought in a highly populated area and had killed a couple people, there was bound to be someone who was looking for him and he didn't need anymore attention.
"So what else can you do exactly? And how did you get all of your abilities?" Stephen asked impatiently, he wanted to see what Henry could do as soon as possible.
(OOC: Sorry for not posting sooner, I've been having a hard time recently.)

Henry felt the pressure on his disappear and he fell, his feet touching the ground like a cat. He rolled his neck and popped his collar. "Much better." he murmured happily. He smirked at Stephen. "You've got a lot of guts kid. I mean, how do you know I won't do to you, what you tried to do to me? I mean, I could easily throw you against the nearest wall, or slit your throat." Henry said, his smirk turning into a crazy grin.
Unlike Sylar, Henry had never killed because he was provoked or because he felt like it. Henry had killed only four times. The first time was because he was defending himself. THe second time was for revenge and the last two times was because he wanted what they had. Sure he killed his cousin, but in the long run it gave him something he wanted.
"Fortunately for you I won't. I"m just being generous. Now, for what I can do...." Henry looked around for something. There was a small water fountain connected to the far wall. He pointed to the fountain and it came on. However, instead of a small spout, he made the small snake out of the pipe, and slither towards them like a snake. "Aquakinesis. I can also memorize any muscle movement I see." To prove it, Henry did a back flip.
"Now, is that all you want or is there something else?" Henry asked him. They water snake he had stopped in between them. If Stephen tried anything funny, he'd have back up, with his arms pinned to the wall.
(OOC: No problem.)

Stephen smiled when Henry told me he had guts, "I like to take chances, being careful is boring to me. Plus for all you know I can heal, I've acquired a couple of powers since I've entered this time line."
Stephen was bluffing for the most part, he had had the healing power before, he just didn't have it now. Stephen was starting to wonder if he should have just killed this guy and taken his powers, if he was elaborating on ways he could kill him, then there was a chance he was planning on it, and Stephen really didn't need to have his role of predator switched to prey, it would be demeaning.
Stephen didn't relax when Henry said he wouldn't kill him, he had trouble believing that someone wouldn't want revenge for almost being killed.
Stephen watched as Henry made the water snake out of a water fountain, the ability seemed useful, in the right environment, Stephen thought about using the ability at a beach and grinned.
"That's pretty interesting." Stephen said, he decided that he should further his deception that he was extremely powerful by using the power himself. Stephen focused on the water on the inside of the fountain, it didn't take him long to figure out how to use the ability, once you could use one it was easy to learn any other, he lifted his hand and watched as water shot out and flew toward him, stopping right in front of his outstretched hand.
Stephen then watched as Henry showed him he could mimic muscle movement, allowing him to perform actions by watching them, Stephen thought this was interesting and decided he should watch some martial arts later to make good use of the power while he had it.
"Those are some pretty interesting powers, your lucky I'm in a good mood from taking your money or I might try and kill you to understand them better." Stephen said, dropping his hand to the side, which caused the water to fall as well.

"Oh, you're being generous? Funny, I thought I was doing that." Henry said with a smirk. There was something different about this smirk. Normally, they were light heart or humorous. As if there was a funny thought that ran through his mind that he didn't wish to talk about. However, this one, this current smirk formed on his face had something...dark about it.
Henry walked over to Stephan, his eyes had a dark tint to them. It was almost a crazy look. "Listen kid, I really don't like it when people try to threaten me." By now he was staring right into Stephen's eyes. His eyes were almost dilated, and the crazy look was getting more and more notable. "You wanna kill me, you're going to get hurt. I don't really care if you can heal or not. Cutting open your sorry little head will be just enough satisfaction for me."
The deranged look in his eyes slowly started to fade and Henry backed off slightly. "If you want I show down, I'll be glad to give you one. Well, at least when you get yourself checked and learn that man slaughter isn't everything. Fun, but not everything." Henry said smugly.

"You think your being generous? I just had you pinned to the wall there and the only reason I stopped there was because I'm trying not to kill anyone." Stephen said, noticing Henry's strange smirk, Stephen pictured the machete he had had since he had first discovered his powers, ready to teleport it to his hand if there was going to be a fight.
"I'm not threatening you, I was just stating a fact, the only reason we're having this conversation is because I'm in a good mood." Stephen said, he gave a chuckle when Henry said he would get hurt, "Oh, really? You've shown me most, if not all of your powers, I've only showed you three of mine, I think that gives me an advantage."
Stephen wasn't sure what he should do, on the one hand the guy had some good abilities and Stephen could have some fun using them, but on the other hand he didn't want to kill anyone anymore.
Stephen decided that he should at least make the guy fear him, Henry said he enjoyed killing and Stephen didn't want to end up on a hit list. Stephen teleported away, onto the roof of the building so he could surprise Henry, he jumped from the building, teleporting his machete to his left hand as he raised his right hand in front of him. Out of his right hand he let loose a wave of blue fire, silently thanking Ryan Linderman for giving him the magic fire ringthing that somehow gave him pyrokinesis.

Henry normally didn't get into foul moods. They were beyond him. But hearing this kid talk made him want cut into something. He gritted his teeth. He really was starting to dislike this guy. "Just shut up." Henry said as he ran his hand through the air. However, Stephen seemed to disappear and Henry ended up telepathically slicing into the brick wall in front of him instead.
He was kinda surprise Stephen had that ability. How did the kid do that? More importantly, who'd he get in from? He'd have to check into it later because his instincts told him to move. Now. Fast. Listing to them, Henry tuck and rolled, avoiding the blue hot flames. He saw Stephen come down. OK, so maybe he didn't have as many abilities as the kid, but he would.
"A machete? Who are you, Jason Vorhees?" Henry asked jokingly. He clenched his right hand tight. There was one thing about Lance Fox's power that Henry really liked. The long he held his hand, the harder it was to avoid. He also learned that he could control the damage. He wasn't going to kill Stephen. Only if the kid really pissed him off.
"You wanna play with fire? Ok then." Flicking his wrist, Henry caused a burst of water to start flooding out of the fountain.

Stephen used telekinesis to make his fall slow down before he hit the ground, he thought to himself how the only thing better then gaining powers was using them, this made his desire to kill Henry weaken even more, it would be fun to have an enemy for awhile, it gave him more chances to use his powers.
Stephen looked to the fountain to see water pumping out of it, "Fire vs water, very interesting how that worked out, isn't it? Or how it would have worked out if I didn't mimic powers."
Stephen lifted his hand and some of the water rushed to his right hand, surrounding it. He then set his left hand on fire, along with his machete. Stephen smiled at all the power he had at his disposal.
Stephen threw the machete at Henry, more as a distraction then anything else, he then launched the water and fire at Henry, they met halfway however and making a large wave of steam fly at Henry. Stephen had planned this, he hoped Henry would believe he had tried to hit Henry with the fire and water, but had failed. Then he probably wouldn't expect Stephen to attack again so soon.
Stephen sent a wave of nuclear energy at Henry, the ground it passed over burned as it traveled across the ground, Stephen smiled at how much destructive force he could unleash, Stephen just hoped that it would effect Henry, he wasn't sure if Henry's version of the ability allowed him to be hurt by it or not, he had encountered a couple of powers were people could dish out the ability very well, but they couldn't take it any better then a normal human.
