Rose gaped at the door as the flames engulfed it. Had that really just happened? She backed away, cringing at sudden heat. "Careful, girly. I'm can play nice, but fire ain't too picky on what it likes to cuddle with. "The guy sure had a lot of nicknames for her. She watched as he moved between her and the door, cigarette in mouth. Nervously, she looked around for another escape route. This door was the only way out it seemed. She could break a window and dive for it but she was not interested in this psychopath cooking her like a thanksgiving turkey. She had to stall until she thought of a better idea. [color=lightcoral] "You know what else isn't picky? Cancer. That's exactly who you'll be cuddling with if you keep smoking that thing." [/color] "Now," The creep grinned like some kind of disney movie villain, "Let's all act civilized and get to know one another. We got about ten minutes before the fire department shows up and I'm not letting that flame go away. Play nice and I'll do the same sugar. You don't wanna get smart and you don't wanna get mean, cause I'll win, honey. I'll win and you'll be right back where you started." It was probably less than ten minutes considering the town was quite small. If she could stall until then, she might be saved. Although, it would be risky to sit here trying to make small talk with a dude who can spawn fire out of thin air. Notable to mention, this guy was clearly not sane. "Everyone just calm down", Curtis suddenly said, "We're all just a little excited because we know we aren't alone. Ash, brother o' mine, will you pretty please get rid of some of this fire? We aren't all as ready to cope with it as you are, and in return I'm sure Rose won't try to run away! Right Rose?" So they were brothers. It was clear Curtis was obviously the more civil one between the two. Rose took a deep breath. They just wanted to confirm she could do weird stuff too then maybe they'd just let her go. [color=lightcoral] "So you guys just want to know what I can do right? Then you'll let me go? Promise you won't try to hurt or kidnap me or anything...?"[/color] She paused a moment then glanced at a nearby table, focusing on it. It started to float up into the air along with the chairs and utensils. Gently, she levitated it back down to the floor after giving them a moment to take it in. [color=lightcoral]"I can move stuff around without touching it. It's not as interesting as making fire show up out of no where so if you don't mind..."[/color] She took a step toward the door with that only for it to violently swing open. A guy stepped in and after taking a look around, he took out a gun and pointed it at fire boy. "Its been a long day. Now this is my last stop before I can head home for some much needed rest. You all can give up or I can end you all by force. The choice is yours." Rose almost laughed. She was about fifty percent sure that this was some stupid joke by a bunch of comic book geeks. The other fifty percent of her brain understood that this was real and someone did not like them doing wacky stuff in coffee shops. [color=lightcoral] "I propose a third option. How about you sit down for a nice, relaxing cup of coffee then everyone goes home and we forget about this long, enduring day. " [/color]
