McConnell’s Coffee Shop, Los Angeles, California[/color][/h1][/center]


Two men sat across from each other at a table in a small local coffee shop. The two were both dressed in black tailored suits having a not so smooth conversation on what their next job would be. Lex and his uncle Rob always had discussions that made it seem like someone was going to be disowned by the other.

“No! Why leave Cali? The weather is perfect here and we’ll make way more money here than in New York. That place is filled with nothing but bitter retired mobsters.” Lex argued before his uncle shushed him. Lex looked around the coffee shop to see if he’d grabbed anyone’s attention before shaking his head and drinking his coffee. He knew he wasn’t supposed to be discussing business so loudly, but he didn’t agree with his mentor at the moment. 

“Listen kid, those white guys in upstate NY are guaranteed to pay us. There’s none of that bullshit where we gotta waste time trying to track down some bitch that don’t even got the money they promised to pay to begin with.”

“We do it enough and no one will try it. Besides, I got this one guy blowin’ up my phone about how he needs to go find and bring whoever destroyed some school to him.” Lex smirked at his uncle who didn’t seem amused about anything Lex just said. Lex continued though. “So I looked it up… By the way, you gotta stop being so old school and at least get yourself a personal smartphone… Anyway, they don’t know how this school was destroyed, which means...?“ Lex waited for his uncle to reply, but the man kept drinking his coffee. He could tell Rob didn’t give a damn about what he was saying, but he didn’t give a damn about how Rob felt. “It means we could be dealing with an Evo!” Lex said loudly which warranted a wide eyed scowl from Rob. Rob leaned in over the table and whispered.

“What the hell is your problem kid? You can’t be spouting out shit like that.” Rob looked over his shoulder to see a young woman who seemed to have just entered shop (Vanessa). [i]I hope she didn’t hear this clown.[/i] Lex raised an eyebrow. 

“What? Are you scared about what we saw on the news earlier? Fuck ‘em! They don’t need my blood to know whether or not I have a power!” Lex said loudly as he held out his palm that now had dark red electricity dancing across it. “And fuck you too. I don’t need you on this job. Go circle jerk with those geezers on the east coast.” Lex wasn’t really that mad, he was just flexing his muscle. He figured sooner or later he’d have to really go solo, and California was his chance at doing that. Rob however was pissed. He shook his head furiously before getting up from his chair and walking out. He couldn’t even say what he wanted to his nephew.

“Don’t come crying back to my ass when they stuff you in a test tube.” Rob said as he left the coffee shop.

“That’s cool. I guess I’ll pay the bill too… What a crybaby.” Lex said as he sat back and smiled. He eyed the same woman that Rob had looked at a few seconds before. “Care to join?” He offered before sipping his coffee. He wasn’t 100% serious, but when was he?
