Snippet #2388180

Mr. Sayco spoke informing Joshua of his reasons for picking young kids, and Joshua actually believed and understood them, and he calmed down. Then he noticed a girl in the doorway, he must have walked right past her on his way in. "What's wrong with me? How'd I miss a beauty like that? he thought to himself as she spoke and entered the room. "I think you're forgetting that most of these 'kids', are not really kids." She said rather curtly, and Josh smiled at her "I like this chick." he thought. "Like you said, most of them have spent their lives hiding. Including myself. We've all had hard lives and it's made us mature." Her next words were said to Joshua, "They're not a group of innocent children. They're young, but they have skills that most adults don't even have." She then turned to Sayco and asked, "What are your powers? If you get to observe and know ours, I'd like to know yours." She asked confidently. "Wow chick's got balls" is all Josh could think while Sayco responded.

“She’s right you know, you guys are anything but kids. There is little innocents left in even the smallest child.” Sayco said to Josh with a sigh, before smiling at Kila.

“Of course, I do apologize for not offering to show you sooner. I guess I forgot my manors. I cannot physically show you my powers." Sayco said handing Kila a pack of cigarettes, "A young lady your age shouldn’t have such an itch for those.” He continued with a smile.

“My powers, I have the ability to replay yours, his, or anyone else’s memories, in my own mind, feel the emotions you felt in every good or bad moment of your life.” He said with a pause towards the beginning. Despite having lived here for years, Josh had never known what Sayco could do more than just hide the powers of others. “But, that’s just my secondary power, you tend to develop more powers the older you get and well I’m ancient. My strongest power is the only way were going to be able to pull this attack off.” Josh sat back in his seat, he already knew what Sayco's primary power was. “As long as you are on my property or near me, now bleeder, nor human will be able to see what you truly are, or what you can do. I can create a blind spot.” Sayco informed Kila, of course Josh didn't even listen as he already knew that.


Josh sighed and then spoke up, "I suppose you're both right, they aren't kids anymore, but most of them have little to no control of their powers, not all of them got to grow up in one of your blind spots honing their powers. Also, I've been training for years and just last week you wouldn't let me go on a mission with Nathan, so why now? Why am I now suddenly ready to fight when a year, a month and even a week ago I wasn't? What's changed?" Josh said getting a little riled up. He turned to Kila, "I'm sorry I've been rather impolite. My name is Joshua, Joshua Handlers. And you, are quite beautiful." He said with a wink and a smile. "I'm sure you are going to ask so I guess I'll just tell you, I make electricity." As he spoke he concentrated and raised his hand up so that she could see it. Small sparks of electricity arced from finger to finger. "I can hurl it towards someone and it causes them pain, but it doesn't screw with their brain or anything like that." He said informing her of his powers. "What about you? What kind of abilities could a stunning lady like yourself have?" He said slyly. He was probably quite overconfident in his abilities with the ladies, that stems from his repeated sneaking out of Sayco's manner and mingling with the human chicks from the nearby town, he was usually successful in his exploits.
