Matt watched as Darek was about to hand over his money, only to see him suddenly shifting into what seemed like a younger version of himself. And he seemed impervious to Matt's telepathy.
"Ok... This is messed up..." Matt said, speeding around to intercept Darek, looking at him with a confused face.
"Are you a power mimic like me? What the hell is your game?" Matt asked, wanting to know now who this person was. Why the hell was he so adamant about taking this money?

"My name is K'adre...the person before me Darek Ravenhardt." K'adre said as he touched Matt's hand and held it smiling. Waiting for a few moments he looked at the other hand with the money. And stared at it for a while too still holding Matt's hand. What he was doing is analyzing Matt's DNA and taking a power, any power. Hell the guy had what five already he wouldn't mind if he just borrowed one.
Looking up he laughed, "Hahaha! No silly, these are my powers. I can do a lot." he said as he shifted back to his older form. "Our game? Our game is survival. We steal what we have to in order to survive, you try living on the streets for seven years." he said letting go of Matt's hand taking some random power. It will be a while before Darek will actually exhibit the ability he stole until the DNA fusion process is done.

As Matt waited for the man to explain, he noticed that he was touching him. He wasn't attacking Matt, so he figured why not. Then his name came out... as well as something about a multiple personality or something. Then he began to show his powers, shifting back into his older form. This was definitely something different.
Then he began to explain about his past... About being on the streets. This made Matt calm down a little as he looked at him.
"Look... You don't have to resort to theft in order to survive. You can make a life for yourself. There are places that can help kids like you..." He said, stepping back a little so that if anything did happen, Matt could defend himself.

"Kids like me?! Oh yes like an orphanage where my brother is probably out there in some Hell-hole of a family!" he shouted getting emotional. He growled once more as he took a step closer, "You know nothing of what I went through so don't try and play a saint and try to turn my life around. It will never work." he hissed as he pulled out the money he stole from Matt and placed it in the man's pocket. Turning back he retrieved his guns he was so mad he could almost shot his self.
His anger was messing with his powers as he scratched at his arms, the old wounds that he disguise were coming back up. They were old cut marks when he cut his self, they never healed since they were there before he got his ability. Glaring at Matt one last time he walked away.

Matt simply shook his head as Darek spoke, remembering the times he too felt useless and abandoned when his parents died... This kid wasn't alone, but if he wanted to be, Matt couldn't help someone who didn't want to be be helped.
"Fine... I'm not going to try to convince you. If you wanna go around playing thief and pissing people off, go for it. Next time you might now run into someone like me, who has some empathy for you..." Matt said, pulling out $100 for his pocket and placed it on a beam nearby.
"Go buy yourself a warm meal, and find somewhere to stay tonight. It's gonna be cold..." He said, watching Darek glare at him to which Matt simply rolled his eyes. He turned around and with a quick bolt, disappeared in a blur.

Darek's eyes watched Matt as he disappeared as he walked over to the beam. He angrily grabbed the money and turned away to look around. The police will be hear soon and he needed to disappear quickly so he took the alleyway. He slipped away and leaned his back against the wall sliding it down until his butt was on the ground. The sun leaving toward the other side of the world.
The adrenaline gone leaving Darek exhausted as he felt his eyes grow heavy. His car was a good walk away, but he really didn't want to walk. So decided it to be safe he just let his self pass out there in the alley.
