Hope this is ok that I made a new thread.The other NY one was too involved already for me.

IC: Riley had been driving for hours, the hum of tires was getting sickeing in her mind. Her light blue eyes fell upon the stereo, quickly she turned up the volume of the classice rock. Now she buzzed down the highway singing to Reo Speedwagon.

Soon enough she noticed the exite she wanted. Pulling off the highway she arrived in downtown newyork. Pulling over into a parking spot, which was very diffiuclt since she failed parallel parking three times....After about ten minutes she got it. Brushing her straight brown locks behind he rear in aggravation she leaned back against her seat. Gazing out the window she realized she was near a restaraunt. "Carla's Cafe &Coffe Shop". Sighig she reached over to trun off the stereo, then felt the electricity running through her palms. NErvously she jerked back, her cornflower blue eyes wide. "Never mind..." She muttered to herself.

After simply turning off the car with the radio still set on a high volume she walked inot the cafe.Hopefully she would not forget abou the radio when she started the vehicle back up... The bells on the door rang out as she stepped insde. After ordering a soda and a small sandwch she found a fron window seat. Sitting at the table she thought about chekcing her cell phone to see if her friends were close..but quickly decided against taking the chance of ruining her new phone.

A young kind of rough looking young man was "driving" in downtown New York. Well more like riding in downtown New York. The car is technically driving itself. You see, Jake has the power to animate the inanimate, which can come in handy. He stops at Carla's Cafe & Coffe Shop, and deciding on ordering a coffee. "One coffee please" he grumbled to the waitress.

Riley glanced up from her meal as the door's bells jangled a jolly metallic ring. Her breath taking blue eyes settled upon a a young man, probably in his twenties or so. She offered him a polite smile, then returned to her food. Taking a sip of her drink she decided to take out her ceel finally. Pulling the phone from her jean pocket she delicately hit the buttons. Then ZAP!

"oh darn

HEr words were mutered to herself in aggravation. Nothing had happned excpet a small spark but she as getting sick of this...

Jake gave a small little grin back at the young lady. Then sat down to drink his coffee. Playing with his recently discovered powers, he made a couple napkins dance across the table. He did think anyone really noticed, but it he thought "its probably not a great idea to use him power in public", so he stopped. Hearing the young lady mumble, he started "Whats..." He stopped himself. "Probably not my business."

As she sat there trying to get her cell phone to work again, she decied to actually try and focus on the crazy thing happening to her. Closing her eyes she tred her best to channel the mysterious bursts of electrical power that seemed to surge through her system. Opening her eys she saw he rhand begin to glow white, and the phone turned on.

"Yes!"

Her fist pumped in the air, still glowing slightly and she quickly threw it back down. Glancing aroundfervently she noticed no one had seen her..hopefully. Then she heard a male voice. It was the guy she had seen enter earlier.Turning to him, her sky hue'd eyes fell on him. Her expression was somewhat suprised but friendly.

"It's ok don't worry about it."

She glance over at one of the napkins at his table that was siting in an awfully odd position.

Jake smiled back pretending not to notice her hand glowing white hot. She must be like him, "special" he thought to himself. But remembering his last contact with another "special" person he thought it better to say nothing. He found that some special people are ashamed or even scared of their powers, and bringing it up may make them feel backed in a corner. He of course came to love and embrace his gift, it is very useful. He chuckled to himself quitely.

Turning back to her meal she just watched it.Still wondering about the man at the toehr table. He seemed different, maybe like her..she doubted it. She was just strange for some reason. Maybe there was something wrong with her DNA? She had no idea...Getting up she threw out ehr sanwich and returned to her drink, hoping her friends would call her up soon. She did not feel like sitting in new york alone.

Jake chugs down the rest of his coffee, focused on the girl. "Hmm, what if she is confused about her power?" he thinks to himself. Not noticing he just poured coffee on himself. All at once he noticed his chest was on fire. Not thinking it through he gave a command for a napkin to clean up his shirt. He noticed a young, maybe 8 years old, kid looking right at him. He tries to shrug it off non-shalantly. But he figured everyone in the place noticed.

Looking up for her drink as silence fille dthe rom she followed all the wide eyed gazes. 'Oh my god....' she thought to herself....The man had a napkin foating around him! I-It was cleaning his shirt! What the heck was this?! She quickly stood up, almost spilling her drink as she did so. Timidly she stepped closer. Reaching up with her hands she brushed her brownhair from her face, revealing more of her flawless porcealin(sp?) skin.

"How did you do that?"

Her arms were now crossed across her chest, her light eyes were wide as she gazed at him with wonder. Maybe there were others out there...like her. Well not exactly, but he was different like her.

Hespitinmysoup · 05-24-2007, 09:06 PM

He responded calmly and cooly "How do you do what you do?" We are different you and I. He shoots her a smile.
