Lex somewhat felt like he was in a dilemma now. Sure, teleporting around this city with an unconscious man was better than tossing him into a taxi and hoping the driver wouldn’t call the police, but it just seemed like a bad idea. Lex firmly grabbed the man’s arm, which allowed him to sap a little energy from him.

“It’s not a good idea. If you have to see your destination with your own eyes, then your power ain’t too great at being conspicuous... eh big words.” He said the last part with slight distaste. He felt like he was talking like his uncle when he talked like that. “I’ll just take the loss and run his pockets. I might find something nice.” Lex said as he began searching through the man’s clothing. He pulled out a cellphone, some folded up documents, an extra pistol magazine, and several dollar bills. As he put everything into a loot pile, he looked up at Vanessa. “You’re still here? You need something, because I don’t have anything you want.” Lex said a bit rudely, but he was curious as to why she stuck around here. “Sure, we’re both Evos, but that doesn’t matter to me... It’s like saying any two normal people can automatically be friends.” He said that as he pocketed everything from the man and started his trek from the alley while fiddling with the phone he had acquired. Locked... Guess it’s off to Benny’s then.

Lex turned around to look at the girl before smirking. Maybe this wasn’t some really messed up coincidence. Perhaps this girl was supposed to cross paths with him in an alley in Los Angeles. This is definitely a coincidence... But why not let it ride in my favor.

“Take my number, and call me. And not for a fucking date. I mean if you want to get better at using that poof thing or whatever you call it. You gotta be tough for the things coming our way... Or you can just never see me again, which is fine as well...” Lex said his phone number out loud as he walked toward the more populated street.

As the young woman spoke to Lex, he contemplated whether he should have her pas out or just listen to hear what else the girl would spout out. She’s so… random. Did she just stop to eat a chocolate bar? Lex thought as he stared at her. He didn’t know why, but he listened. He did ask, even if the answer wasn’t something spectacular, he was responsible for opening up that can of worms.

“Hmm.” He let out as she finished. “So you came by to help? How do you know you were helping the right person?” He said with a grin. “Anyway, you should probably go back to what you were doing. I don’t need any witnesses, and you were funny enough to make me not want to leave you passed out in an alley.” Lex crouched down beside the body before cursing under his breath. He hadn’t thought this through. He needed a vehicle, and he wouldn’t leave this guy just laying here to be found or to wake up to get away. “Actually, you got a car? I’ll give you a tip on using your powers if you can get me car to move this guy.” Lex was reaching at straws. He was a bit desperate due to his bad planning. His uncle, Rob would have thought this through easily, but like always, Lex wasn’t the best planner. “You in, or do you want to be the next victim of a hate crime against Evos?”

“I’ll ask you once, and only once… Why the hell are you following me?” The man that Lex had chased down said as he steadied his aim so he could get a clean shot. He could tell Lex was an Evo just by his eyes at the moment. Sure, the red sparks that would streak across skin every few seconds was the biggest indicator, but the man just couldn’t keep his eyes off of Lex’s.

“Because you ran away from me when I wanted to talk.” Lex said simply. He didn’t make any sudden movements, mostly because he figured he might be able to get this guy to tell him something if they just talked. “My turn. What’s your business with the school?” Lex asked the man who didn’t change his demeanor one bit. The man didn’t utter a word as he tried to read Lex, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. “Hello..? Are you thinking about what type of lie to tell me, because I don’t have all day?” Lex smirked he started to figure the man out whose bioelectric patterns suggested that he was in deep thought, and mostly confused about something.

“You have to be fucking kidding me… You don’t know a god damn thing do you?” The man said with his eyes wide. He was ready to end this conversation quick. He’d make sure to cover this whole thing up. He’d never admit to a fuck up, especially when he was an agent of Quantum. Then… poof, a girl appeared right behind him. He mouthed “What the…” as she spoke to him. His gun was now trained on her, but he couldn’t fire. As a matter of fact, he couldn’t move.

Lex stood menacingly beside the man with his arm around him and his hand on his shoulder. The two almost looked like they could be the best of friends in Lex’s opinion. Honestly, the Quantum agent looked terrified by the current predicament as his body locked up. Lex just kept up his grin as he spoke softly into the agent’s ear.

“You were exactly right. I didn’t know a thing. I will soon though.” Lex said before widening his eyes and using his ability to drain enough electricity from the man’s body to make him go limp and fall on the ground. The man fell sloppily and face planted into the alley floor. Lex winced, but it was more to be comical than empathetic. Lex’s red eyes soon met with the girl he had recognized at the coffee shop. She had said something to him, but he couldn’t really recall. He was surprised to see her have a power that let her pop up out of nowhere, but was gladder that the random pop up gave him a quick edge over the agent. He let out a hand to help her onto her feet. “Nice power and all, but I’m gonna need you to start explaining yourself or you’ll end up like my buddy on the floor… And don’t lie.” Lex said the last part seriously.

@Simple Unicycle you can have the Evo hunting group called Quantum come after him

Los Angeles, California

After an uneventful taxi ride, Lex found himself a few blocks away from site where the school once stood. He would have gotten a lot closer but between the heavy flow of traffic and the road blockades, it wasn’t happening. He didn’t enjoy having to walk in this heat, but a job had to be done. Besides, he had to prove a point to his uncle that there was real business for men like them out here on the west coast.

As he strolled near what used to be the school, Lex kept an eye out for law enforcement in the area. He couldn’t believe how the school now looked, but he needed to keep focus. From the looks of things, Lex would say that the authorities were still trying to dig bodies out. People waited outside the barricades, though they wanted to so badly push past them to find their loved ones. Lex sighed knowing he wouldn’t be getting by the barricade too easily. Just great… I should have known this would be the case… I don’t even know where to start. Lex looked towards a man who was waiting outside the barricade.

“Do they know who did it?” Lex asked the stranger.

“No… It’s been the same old story for the past half an hour. School was here, and then the school was flattened. No doubt in my mind that it was one of those freaks.” The man sounded tired of not knowing what was going on. His frustration was easy to read as he furrowed his eye brows and grit his teeth behind the concealment of his lips.

“Damn… Those damn monsters think they can do whatever they want now that cat is out of the bag.” Lex commented with disgust.

“Yeah.” The man said as Lex’s words seemed to echo in his thoughts. He looked to an officer texting on her phone as he balled his fists. “Hey! How about you do your damn job and find out who did this! My daughter is probably dead and all you care about is fucking texting! You already know it was one of those freaks!”

Lex took a step back and smirked as the man exploded with anger. Lex always felt he had a way with getting people to react how he wanted, and this was no different. The man had said what several had already been thinking. His sudden outburst made them speak out as well.

Perfect, now to look for the few people that are way too… Lex’s eye color suddenly changed from a brown to a dark red. With the color, his vision also changed. Using his powers, Lex was able to see the bioelectric signatures of others given off by their neural impulses. Right now he could see a lot of panicked and angered people, police officers on edge, and rescue authorities either exhausted or stressed. Lex scanned around before spotting someone who was a bit off by himself. …calm. Bingo.

Lex’s eyes shifted back with a blink as he made his way toward the man who was on his phone. Lex wasn’t very book smart, but his cleverness got him very far. Lex did something very out of order as he walked quickly towards the man who was now wondering what Lex’s deal was.

“I know why you’re here” Lex said confidently as he stared the man down. The man’s eyes widened in shock instead of confusion, and that’s when Lex knew something was up. The man pushed Lex and began running from the scene. “Really?” Lex said as he allowed his eyes to change vision again. “This should be fun.” He said quietly to himself before walking after the man. Since he could see the man’s bioelectric presence, he was not too afraid of him getting a head start. Lex gave the man quite a distance while he tried to get out of the sight of local law enforcement. Once Lex was at a distance he deemed fine, he took a breath. Dark red electricity suddenly flashed around his body, before vanishing. He had charged his nerves and muscles with an electrical pulse before striding forward and moving at inhuman speed. At the moment he was holding the speed of about 30 miles an hour, not extremely fast, but he figured it was enough. He could tell the man was trying to use back alleys to escape, which Lex found to be convenient for him. Lex didn’t want to catch this guy in a crowd. He liked attention, but that was doing too much.

Lex followed the man, to a deaden d, but it wasn’t by the man’s incompetence. The man held a silenced 9mm pistol up towards Lex who smiled at the sight.

“Damn you’re better than I thought you’d be.” Lex said as he watched the man squeeze the trigger.

Lex drank his coffee alone for a bit before one of his phones buzzed in his pocket. He ignored all of the stares he was getting due to his earlier exposure of his power. His audience was filled with both fear and disgust. Now that Evos were exposed, some people saw them as a threat. Lex understood why, and he agreed with the sensible people who perceived his kind as dangerous.

“Who’s speaking?” Lex answered arrogantly. “Oh it’s you again? I figured you’d hit me up again…. Yeah I’ll take the job for you… What’s in it for me? I mean, I need something… Hmm I think you should up it… There we go, now we’re talking. Give me all the info you got on this thing and I’ll have what you want in no time.” Lex hung up his cellphone and stood up from his seat. He strolled over to the woman at the cash register while digging in his black leather wallet for some cash. Lex wasn’t one to be organized< so he fumbled through his dollar bills before cursing under his breath and just pulling one of his many twenty dollar bills from his wallet. “You can keep the change.” Lex said as he handed the nervous woman his money. He smiled at her insecurity before turning and heading for the door.

“Th- Thank you.” The woman struggled to say as Lex exited to the outside.

“Fuck.” Lex let out as he felt the sun beat down on him. He quickly took off his jacket and waved for a cab. A few had passed him by, and he was already beginning to sweat. He wished he would have dressed lighter, but it wasn’t this hot earlier. “Come on. Come on. I need to get into some AC.” Lex mumbled as a cab stopped in front of him. Perfect. Lex entered the cab and exhaled in pleasure as he felt the cold air from the air conditioning in the car.

“Where to?” The man asked as Lex rubbed his forehead.

“Uh… You know where that school is that got fucked up? I’m… I’m going around there, so if you could drop me off close to there.” Lex fabricated. He knew his client would provide him with some valuable information, but he needed to collect his own firsthand knowledge on things as well. The more he knew, the easier his job would be, the faster he would get it done and that just meant he got paid sooner rather than later.

“Yeah, I got you.” The driver agreed. Lex smirked as he just knew that things would start getting interesting .

Posted. I figured I'd have Lex at the coffee shop

Lex Henderson
McConnell’s Coffee Shop, Los Angeles, California

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 hope she didn’t hear this clown. 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?
