"Wait, don't go." said Derrin, trying to get out of his seat quickly.  "Who said you weren't wanted?"

Vin hesitated, it was rude of her to just leave, but at the same time she felt her previous words were still true. "It's nothing," she said waving a hand as if to shoo the question away, "I just hear things y'know? My telepathy I mean, not always, it takes too much thought, but you start to get the patterns after a while. I think it'd be best if I just left." She wasn't sure, but running had worked out for her before. Somewhat, Okay, so she was a homeless thief now, it wasn't [i]that[/i] bad.

...it might've been that bad.

"Is someone here hostile to us?"  He didn't understand what was going on.  "I guess they're a bit weary of us, but I doubt they hate us enough to try anything."

"What?" She asked, misunderstanding where his question had come from. "No, it's not that, just in general." She explained, "I don't mean to offend," she tried, "I just feel like it'd be best if I stayed out of- well, everything. I'm going to Canada, that was the plan at least. A small Canadian town where no one will find me." She wasn't sure why she thought that was a good plan, it sounded awfully lonely, and really she'd prefer to live in a big city and spend her life partying, but Canada sounded... safe?

"Do you have family there?  Friends?"  He wasn't sure why she'd run away to there.  "From what I've heard, some small towns are worse than big cities.  At least in the city there are other people like you, and still other people who understand what it's liked to be a bit of an outcast because of who you are."  He paused and took a breath.  "I guess what I'm saying is, if you want to go, I won't stop you, but I think that here you'll at least have friends and people who know what you're going through.  Personally, if things get worse, I'd prefer to be with my cousin or others that were also hated for being a Super than in some city where they may or may not accept me."

Her powers were only obvious if she made them obvious, but despite her ability to conceal herself, he had a point. Better to be surrounded by friends- if that's what was even being offered here, than to be surrounded by enemies. "I... don't have anyone." She admitted after a moment. "Fine, I'll stay, but you asked for it." She said with a slight smirk.

"Asked for what?  Are you saying I can't handle you?"  Derring caught himself.  "I mean, you being around.  I wasn't...uh..."  His voice trailed off.

Vin's smile wavered at his words, he had no idea how right he was. But that wasn't a conversation for now, so she decided to just roll with it. "Exactly," She said, not bothering to specify, "I need a place to stay. Got a room?" She asked with an innocent grin.

"Well, my roommate did move out when he found out I was a Super.  "For his own safety" he said, so I've got a room if you need it."  It'd take a bit of getting used to having a female roommate, though.

"Yeah, I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that he's still missing.  If he does start breaking the law, it could reflect badly on all of us.  People tend to group others together based on similarities, and our powers could be just the thing to get us labeled as bad guys."

"Indeed," spoke Alexander. "We need to start organizing for our rights, and we need to do so on the Internet and locally."

"In that case, I'll introduce you to a few of my forum friends."
