Matthieu shrugged when Jynx refused the drink. After draing his drink as Jynx spoke, he placed the two cans next to his lunch. As he looked back at her, he returned Jynx's smile with a bit of a grin. "Well Miss Jynx," he started, "I am pleased to meet you. And don't worry, I don't get out a whole lot, myself."
Matthieu paused to think about what he just said and laughed, adding, "Okay, perhaps I do. I'm a freerunner, so I do kinda get out of the house. However, lately, I've been working on this place." He pointed over to the church as his face turned serious. "Gotta get it fixed up," he said, his voice trailing as he remembered how he was abandoned as a child. He didn't like to think about it, but it happened and there was nothing he could do about it now or ever, and he realized this.

"Yeah, my body didn't like the meds either. They kind of mucked up my growth." Jo told the two boys. Robert agreed with her cause well they improved his growth not messed it up in anyway, Robert knew if his parents would have never accepted the trails he would have died at the age of 5 or even earlier. But that wasn't something that needed to be shared. Robert was born extreamly small and with brittle bones, his early childhood development had his parents grasping for a early cure and Almega and their Drug Y fit that perfectly. His parents were among the first to sign the forms for the testing consent.
"So three kids that just happen to know about Almega run into each other on the street and they've all seen the black van of creeps.. is there a punchline in there somewhere? Jo laughed.
Standing up off of the sofa looking at the two sighing, "let me get to the point." Robert said, slowly raising the sofa with his telekinetic power. Not caring much if the two were shocked or startled, for Robert knew that the two were mutated like himself except their mutations were different. Robert looked into the Almega corp. sence the death of his parents, and he focused on taking them down for what they did, learning some every interesting facts those mutations occurred in almost every subject that didn't die during the Drug Y trails. "Well this isn't why I asked you guys to come over, but Jo when you brought up Almega it got me to think. I wasn't the only one who was mutated, I took a chance with showing you my own ability so yea." Shrugging and keeping the two in the air while he walked back and forth pacing himself, thinking "Wait what if they arn't the ones...no they have to be I know this for a fact, those documents couldn't have lied", turning to his left side Robert pulled a stack of papers with his telekinetic power. "Those documents involve our testing take a look" Robert told them as he thought.

Kan cracked a forced grin as Jo laughed. This was strange. Maybe he shouldn't be here... He glanced at Robert.
"let me get to the point."
Then the damn couch started rising into the air and Kan gripped the arm rest tightly. Shocked. "What the hell..." He muttered to himself before hopping down. Heights didn't bother him much but they weren't his favorite place ot be either.
"So the Y drugs mutated you too, huh?" Kan raised an eyebrow at Robert before pulling out the lighter from his pocket.
"See this, here?" He flicked it on and with his free right hand, pulled out the little flame completely. Then he let it swirl around his arms as he thought. What about Jo? He looked over at the red head and inhaled some smoke. He smiled slightly before blowing out a little flame from his lips. "I can control fire.." he said lightly and then Robert pulled out some papers. Files. Now Kan wasn't so sure he wanted to read them. What if a side affect was something bad like an early death? Who would take care of his family then? Hesitantly, he reached out and took them from Robert.

Jo actually felt more at ease as Robert moved the couch and Kan blew smoke. She'd been afraid that she'd spoken too soon, that she'd given herself away to a couple of normal kids.
"Well, I have to say, the two of you got cooler stuff than me." Placing her hands on the arm of the couch, Jo pulled her legs up quickly to cross her ankles behind her head. Her arms supported her easily as she sat in her very pretzel-like pose. "This is pretty much it. I'm super-flexible. And the doctors think that my bones are hollowed out too, so it keeps me light." Letting her legs go back to their normal pose, she lowered herself and sat on the couch again. Taking one of Robert's files that he offered, she flipped it open and looked over a page. It really just looked like gibberish to her.
"And I think I have to apologize then... I've gotten you in danger. My mom suing Almega drew attention to me. And I guess them watching me got them to notice you guys too. I don't think they're watching us just to keep tabs. I think that Almega's up to something."

"Haha no need for apologies" Robert spoke up trying to keep the situation under control, pulling a specified file from the stack and spreading its contents in the air "This one has your names and mine listed in order from type of mutation, which ones would be the hardest to subdue or kill... They are after us, its just the facts I had to share this with you. As you know they have our address and have been watching our houses, I have no idea when they will attack but I can keep you updated if you keep in touch" Robert finsihed his mini speech like his college professor would, he presented the good and the bad but the only thing is now how the others would react. He wasn't going to involve them right away but it seemed like they both were knew of Almega's, willingness to go after their failed projects. Shrugging almost forgetting to place the sofa back down, Robert rubbed the back of his head glancing at Jo.
"Hey, just to let you know... our mutations might grow and change into something much stronger if put under harsh emotional, physical, or mental strain. So that flexibleness might grow into something else." Robert said with a slight smile trying to comfort Jo.

"Keep in touch huh? Sounds ok." Jo's voice trailed off. Even she didn't feel like cracking jokes anymore. It was becoming apparent that the situation with Almega extended far beyond her mother's greed. And if they were being watched, chances were that there were other kids, former subjects, being spied on too. And then the thought of being watched in the shower hit Jo and she twitched. She'd always been an inward worrywart.
The buzzing of her smartphone pulled Jo out of her thoughts.
New message from: Mom
Where r u? Home now
"Ugg." Jo groaned and stood up. "Well.. Robert.. and Kan.. It's been a pleasure, but I have to get home before the Wicked Witch starts getting homicidal." While she felt more uneasy about the black van, Jo felt better just in Kan and Roberts' presence. She'd never met another Almega Y subject. And knowing that she wasn't alone in being "weird"-and better yet, that she had some other Y subjects on her own street- made her feel better than she had in years.

"The number's here." Kan scribbled his phone number on a scrap piece of paper and placed it down on the coffee table. Would it be better to just cut off all ties with these two people? They were obviously being spied on as well... Would being with them hurt his chances of.... not sure exactly but whatever.
Were they also studying the rest of his family? He clenched his jaw. If they had... well, he would make sure they pay for it.
"Ugg." Jo groaned and stood up. "Well.. Robert.. and Kan.. It's been a pleasure, but I have to get home before the Wicked Witch starts getting homicidal."
He looked up at that.
"I'll come with you, Jo." Safety in numbers? It made him feel uneasy to think about Jo just walking on home alone... when that van could come back. Now that he knew why and who was watching him... He was starting to grow more paranoid by the second.
Kan made his way to the door. "See you Robert."

Robert felt fine with the two making their leave now and departing together, if anything it was much better than them leaving alone. He would have offered them a ride but it would't have done much to give them a ride down the street, shrugging and moving all the files back into place on his desk. Sighing Robert spoke "I would have the pleasure of walking you home as well Jo, but as you may see I have a ton of work to do. I wanted to show the two of you something else before you departed but it is quite alright. Stay safe alright." He finished with a light smile, he wanted Jo to stay safe a weird sense of guardianship Robert felt toward her.
"See both of you later on?" He walked up to Jo and gave her his phone number, Robert hoped that she would keep in touch with him. Alone protecting themselves would be much of a problem, together and united victory over Almega would be much more easy. Robert plopped himself into his chair as he watched Jo and Kan leave his mansion, closing his eyes thinking about his new move. In this game of chess, he was much more ahead of Almega as he began to gather his pieces

Jynx
She raised her eyebrows. "Freerunning, huh? Neat." Jynx was genuinely impressed. She'd seen freerunners on the one television in her aunt's entire manor. Her personal favorite was Levi Meeuwenberg. He was awesome. Smiling, she looked up at the church. It did need to be worked on. Majorly. But she could see that there had been some progress made, if not enough to keep it from falling apart all together, perhaps.

But she could see that there had been some progress made, if not enough to keep it from falling apart all together, perhaps.
"I'll come with you, Jo." Taking both Kan and Robert's phone numbers, Jo nodded before she left. It was getting close to noon. While she'd just met Kan, and normally she didn't trust a guy she'd only known for maybe an hour, knowing that he could flick out his lighter and toast someone made her feel better. Jo wasn't much of a fighter... at least not any more. She'd been expelled from her old Catholic academy for "brawling" with a fellow classmate. St. Katherine's didn't take well to its female students trying to strangle each other.
As her foot hit the sidewalk, Jo heard tires squeaking to a halt. "Josephine Carter?" Her heart skipped a beat and she stepped back, bumping into Kan. Two people, a man and a woman, were stepping out of a van.
A black one.
"Shit." Jo mumbled under her breath. Her hand slipped into her back pocket. There was the item that any smart girl in a city carried- Mace. She had gotten a nifty little device that was a small can of mace, a knife, and a whistle all on a little chain. "Maybe. Whaddya want?" Both people were dressed like they belonged in an office; Grey tailored suits and hair that looked like it had been forced into submission with a pound of product gave them the appearance of being fraternal twins. "Please come with us."
Jo looked to Kan with her heart pounding. Her eyes showed her fear clearly- she had no clue what was about to happen, or what to do.

"Please come with us."
As if that was going to happen. Kan grabbed Jo's arm and pulled her away. His dark eyes glaring holes into the two people. "Sorry, we're kind of busy at the moment."
If they insisted. He would show them a little something. He had just met this girl but knowing they were both victims of the common enemy made him want to protect her. There was no way in hell he was just going to let these to creeps take her. They'd probably be after him next.. or Robert.
"If you'll excuse us." Kan put a secure arm around Jo's shoulders. Her eyes showed exactly how scared he was nad it sort of reminded him of her little sister. Hopefully they didn't follow as Kan started steering them both away, picking up the pace.

Jo felt her hands shaking like crazy. She could feel the stares of the two strangers on her back as she held onto Kan's hand, the one that was over her shoulder. Her stomach was so full of butterflies that she felt like she could puke. "Y-Yeah we're busy! Eff off!"
"We're sorry, Ms. Carter, we didn't mean to give the impression that it's your choice." The woman spoke, sounding like she'd been eating gravel her entire life. Jo turned around in time to see the man start to approach them. Fast. Jo's voice sounded inhumanly high-pitched as she grabbed Kan's arm, hard. "RUN!"

His eyes peaked open as Robert herd Jo's scream from the inside of his house, dashing to the window and peering out watching two Almega watchdogs approaching Kan and Jo. "Oh god damn it!" Robert yelled as he texted Jo and Kan to turn and run towards his place. This was unexpected Robert thought to himself, he didn't think of the possibly of the Almega members attacking so soon and so close. Robert and Kan were among the top 10 dangerous, that have taken the Y meds. Shaking his head and sighing as the two ran off in the other direction, the doors to his own mansion were kicked down 3 members of Almega rushing inside. Jumping back and pinning all three of them to the all with his telekinetic power, then slinging seven knifes hidden under the table into the chests of all three killing them in seconds. "You don't enter uninvited." Robert said mocking them as he made his way out into the open.
"HEY!" Robert yelled as he stood outside angrily throwing a parked car into the black van then throwing the two chasing after Jo and Kan into a tree. This was the hard part for Robert, now he was in the open not knowing which direction they could be attacked from. The only thing that mattered so far was that Almega was off his block or beginning to be evicted. Robert took another deep breath pulling the two chasers toward his mansion and throwing them into the destroyed van. Yawning, then dashing down to Jo and Kan trying to catch up before more Almega show up. "WAIT!"

Jack Rippley
Screams broke the hazy trance that Jack hassle been in since the rage. The sounds of feet rushing down the sidewalk. Heavy things-bodies?-hitting hard surfaces. Jack heard bones snap. Cut-off cries of pain. WAIT! He heard a louder cry, that of a male. Jack's curiosity got the better of him. He stumbled out of the alley, almost running straight into a slender girl with red hair, and another boy. The guy that had called out to them was closing in. Jack looked about the scene with an eyebrow raised. He'd never seen destruction quite like this before. He stepped backwards, struggling to form a question. "The...hell...?" He shook his head. The haze hadn't completely left him. He didn't know how much longer his legs could hold him up.

Jo made a feral howl and covered her ears, instinctively hiding her face in Kan's shirt. What was happening? She heard crashes and the sickening sound of what sounded like bones. Jo didn't even want to look, but she could hear Robert shouting over all the noise. Damn, did he have some lungs or what? Wait... he's the telepath or whatever you call it.. is that him doing all that? Jo uncovered her ears and looked over Kan's shoulder. It was Robert. He was dashing towards them, past what looked like a scene of total destruction. It made her stomach churn all over again.
"Rob- AH!" A tall boy with white hair came out of the alley. Poor Jo's nerves were so frazzled that just his appearance made her jump. In only a moment, she'd regained what little composure she had left. "The...hell...?" She could barely hear him speaking. He looked like he was about to keel over on the spot. "Hey.. hey you! Watch it!" Was all Jo could muster up. Even in a crisis, she was a New York girl to the core.

Kan held Jo tighter as she shook. Then he whipped his head around to see the two Almegas crumple to he ground, their body parts all screwed and twisted in all the wrong angles... He closed his eyes for a second.
Then he heard Jo speak as if addressing someone and he saw a white haired boy looking shocked and confused. Kan didn't blame him. He'd probably be the same.
"Guess they're really coming after us," he muttered and released the red head as he brushed some hair out of his eyes. But Robert had just killed some people. Damn... He meant business. All Kan had been thinking was to get the two the hell out of there. Using his skills hadn't been an option at all... But should it have been?
"We should clean this up," Kan reached into his pocket and felt the lighter. They'd have to cover this up.

Stopping in front of the group for only seconds, his gaze fixing upon the white haired boy that had ran into the others. Panting as he stood their looking to Jo, Kan and the white haired one "Lets keep moving before the police and more of them show up." Robert had already brought to much attenchon to the group as he destroyed a van and killed about six people within seconds. Even before Robert knew that he would be forced to kill, it still felt weird to him as if he cared for the families of the ones he slayed. Robert had never used his power to harm another person, but it was as if he could feel their life fade away as they died. Standing up fully, swinging his hand at the mansion, closing the door laughing weakly.
Looking to Kan as he reached into his pocket quickly speaking up " Fire will not help this situation, I've killed most of them. We need to keep moving my house is locked down so the bodies that are inside cant be seen. Also think about the people watching look around you they will try to link it to us." Robert tried to keep the situation under control before it got much more out of hand, the guilt started to creep up on him. I should have never brought them this close to me, I need to take responceablity for this now. He thought to himself, shaking his head.

Matthieu laughed at Jynx's reaction. It wasn't what he had expected. He had been asked what freerunning was far too many times. "Yeah," he began, "I just feel so detached from the world when I'm out there. Whether I'm pissed or depressed, I always feel a little cleared up from a run." When Jynx smiled, he felt better. Another person's smile was more than enough to help him get his mind off of his past.
Matthieu followed the girl's gaze to the church. "But this old place," he said pointing at the church. "It's a bit of a project. I'm gonna fix it up and turn it into an orphanage. And I'll make sure the kids here are happy while they try to find a family. Just have to finish my renovations." His voice was full of passion when he spoke. This place would one day his pride and joy. "But it's freezing in there at night. I sold my place and have just been sleeping on my old mattress in there and eating out."

Jo took a deep breath and let it out. This felt horrible. She couldn't do a thing. Kan could use fire, Robert could fling things around without breaking a sweat, and her? She could climb, jump around and bend herself into a neat little package. Plus she still felt sick. Her breathing had gotten heavy and ragged.
"Let's just get out of here! We can figure it out later!" Jo could feel her phone vibrating like crazy and she knew it was her mother. At the moment, she didn't care. This was what she got for locking Jo out of the house. Tears were forming in her eyes. The dead bodies of the supposed Almega agents were right in her eyeline and she couldn't look away. Besides what she'd been forced to look at in Driver's Ed, they were the first dead people she'd ever seen.
"I think I'm gonna be sick.."

"I think I'm gonna be sick.."

Kan was thinking about cremating the bodies into dust... It was so sick to leave them there. They were chasing after them but still... Robert had just killed them.
"Let's just go then." Kan grabbed Jo's wrist and started pulling her away. She looked kind of sick and he could totally understand but it would suck if they were caught. He hadn't done a single thing but... he was sure the Almega's could find a way to link this back to him.. specifically. They were pretty good liars afterall.
"Shall we go to my house?" He called ot Robert as he started running. He knew Jo lived close to there so his was the farthest. "I live a few miles down... could you guys make the run?"
He wasn't sure really. Robert seemed kind of fit but not exactly fast and Jo seemed really... really sick. Whatever. They would be able to keep up atthis pace for a little bit at least.. otherwise they were doomed and there was no way in hell he was going to get caught for something he didn't do.

"I live a few miles down... could you guys make the run?" Jo gulped and breathed deeply again. She knew how to cool herself down from pre-gymnastics nerves, so she easily applied her little tactic to get her heart rate back to normal. "I can do it. I'm ok.. I'm sorry, I'm kind of being deadweight here." And wasn't that the truth. The more she thought about it, the more useless she felt. Whatever. If anything, she could at least get them some emergency funds, but money wouldn't help them run. "I'm fine." Jo pulled her hand out of Kan's grip. He was nice after all, but she felt embarrassed to be hanging off of him so much.
"But if Almega's watching us all.. I don't think any one of our houses is safe. Robert's is out, I guess. Mine has my mother there. And I doubt that yours is that safe either, Kan.. no offense."
"But if Almega's watching us all.. I don't think any one of our houses is safe. Robert's is out, I guess. Mine has my mother there. And I doubt that yours is that safe either, Kan.. no offense."
Robert reached up and wiped the falling tears from Jo's eyes, he felt guilty for dragging her into this mess let alone having her watch him destroy most of the street and killing their attackers. Robert could feel the red-heads emotion pour out into the atmosphere, he could tell she felt sick from her heavy breathing and facial expressions. Groaning Robert looks to Jo "Don't cry... not here at least. I'll carry you home" speaking with a small smile trying to make her feel a tiny bit better. Reaching his hand out to her as he turned his back upon the carnage he had created, Robert knew that he would have to cover this up some how. Kan started to pull from the group in a small jog asking "Shall we go to my house?" Nodding in agreement following Kan as he begain to move
Catching up to Kan "I'm sorry for bringing you into this" Robert said to both Jo and Kan. He was not tired one bit from his little fight but this run would drain some of his reserved energy. Running with Jo beside him, Robert felt weird the first time he had a girl close and he was running away although Robert didn't know her too well he knew Jo was a kind person. Keeping his legs moving looking to Jo as she spoke And I doubt that yours is that safe either, Kan.. no offense." " We don't have a choice at this point lets just keep moving. splitting up is up to the rest of you, I rather keep Jo safe for now till we can lie low." Robert responded. She was right it wouldn't be any more safe but it was a different area, worth a shot.

"Oh Yeah, I have my mom and my sister." Kan slowed to a jog. "I have a lot of friends.." He really did. Anyone he called would shelter him without a second thought.
"I don't really want to get anyone involved though." It would kill him if someone got into trouble because of him in anyway. "
"Anywhere to go?" He asked quietly. He looked at the groung and noticed his sneaker was untied. He bent down to tightened it up and expertly made a knot. "I f it was only me... I'd probably just keep on running and not look back." He murmured to himself. But he was here with Jo and Robert. It would suck to just ditch him and he wouldn't feel right about that anyway. Kan clenched his fists and sighed.
"Who knew a life could turn awful so quickly..." He stood back up and looked at Robert. "Would splitting up be better?"
He had always been better off alone for the most part. If he stayed in town that would just mean danger for all of his friends out there and his little fan club. He ran a hand though his hair and sighed again. He had been annoyed the girls were leaving notes in his locker but he would do anything to go back to that time again.
"I don't want my family to get into all this shit cause of me."
He started running again.

Jack Rippley
Jack looked up. They needed a place to go. A safe house. He piped up. "I... I know where we can go. If you guys don't mind. I can guarantee no one will look there."
He wasn't entirely sure about that last part. He made his face deathly serious, showing he meant business. If his theory was correct, these kids were just like him. Victims of Almega and Drug Y. After all, cars don't throw themselves. Whatever they were, these kids weren't normal.
Jynx
She raised her eyebrows in surprise. She hadn't suspected he was living in such conditions. Jynx frowned and came up with an idea. "You could stay with me," she proposed. "My aunt has a huge house. A lot of rooms are vacant. She won't mind you stating." Jynx really felt bad for her new acquaintance.

"Hey.. KAN! Don't-!" Josephine stood there, her arm extended after him. He was obviously faster than she was. But she didn't want him to go. Almega was dangerous, she knew that much. The resources they were using just to track down a few kids were ridiculous. And Kan was strong, that much seemed sure, but... Almega, for sure was stronger. "Damn it." She stopped, looking at Robert. "Should we go after him... or?" Kicking a pebble into the street, she ran her fingers through her hair. "Damn. I... Robert, what's... I don't know. What can we do? Or... should we split up?"
