Finally after walking up all five flights of stairs, Brianna made it to her apartment door. Setting at her doorstep was a large package. She knew immediately that is was another care package from her Mom and Dad. For the first time that day she had a smile on her face. Picking up the big brown box she unlocked her door and walked inside. Closing the door behind her she leaned against it for a minute glad to be home.
It had been a long day, with a morning full of classes, then a very busy night at the coffee shop. It seemed as if this day was never going to end! As she stood there, Gus her orange tabby Persian, came running up to greet her. "Hey Gus! Look we got something from home. Should we open it?" Gus jumped onto the couch and meowed. " Thats what I thought!" Bri sat down next to Gus and started opening the package. Inside was cookies, mom's homemade hot chocolate mix, a catnip mouse for Gus, and hand knitted hat and mittens.
Brianna picked up the hat and held it to her noise channeling a hound-dog. She could pick up the smells of home, smoke from the fireplace, and a hint of her mom's perfume. With a sigh she started looking through the pockets of her coat for her cell phone but it wasn't in any of them. Then she started looking through her backpack. Not there either! "Damn it" with another sigh she knew she had left it at work. " Sorry Gus I have to go back to work and get my phone. I'll be back as soon as I can." and with that she put on her new hat and mittens and buttoned up her coat. Thankfully the coffee shop wasn't far from her small apartment. She made it there in under 10 minutes, and as soon as she got to the door she could see it laying on a table next to the door. She unlocked the door and put in her code so that the alarm wouldn't go off, she grabbed her phone and locked the shop back up.
Brianna wasn't more then a few feet from the shop when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into an ally. From behind her, the man put a knife to her throat " Scream lady and I'll slit you from ear to ear!" the gruff voice said." Give me what you have and I mean now!!!" Brianna didn't know how to react. She never had anything like this happen to her and she was honestly scared for her life! When she did nothing the man grabbed her by the back of the hair and threw her into the cold brick wall. Bri hit hard falling to the ground. She started to pull herself up and begin to channel, but before she could do anything she heard another person come into the ally........

Damien had been driving for awhile, still looking down alleys though he had driven far past the crime scene. As he was looking down an alley he sees a man throw a girl against a wall. Damien immediately jumped out of the SUV and rubbed his hands together. He slammed his palm against the ground and a pill shoots from the ground and hit the knife out of his hand. Damien runs along the diagonal pillar and kicks the guy in the side of the head. Damien rubbed his hands again and touched the pillar and it melded back into the ground. He then runs over and hits the guy in the back of the head knocking him out. Damien walks over and extends his hand to help up the lady.

Brianna take the hand that is held out to her. " thank you" she says as she gets to her feet. "really thank you i don't know what would've happen if you hadn't came along." she smiled at him as she whipt the dirt and snow off of her." Can i buy you a cup of coffe or something?" she didn't know what was the best way of thank you for saving me life.

Damien reaches out and touches the girls hand. As he does its almost as if she can hear a voice in her head, but more like an inner voice. "You don't have to repay me at all. I'm guessing this is a bit weird, but this is the only way I can talk to you without writing." said the voice in her head. Damien than quit touching her hand and the voice stopped.

Damien smiled, he was glad that she wasn't frightened by the talking in her head. He rubbed his hands together and than grabbed a piece of paper out of his pocket. Before he took it out he arranged the writing on it to read 'My name is Damien. Coffee sounds great.' He pulled out the paper and handed it to her. Damien held up a finger for her to hold on and he ran over to his SUV. He typed something into the computer on the dashboard and than stepped away. The door closed and the SUV drove off. He walked back to the girl, bowed and extended his hand to show he would follow.

Brianna smiled at him and started walking she knew of an all night diner that had pretty good coffee and wasn't to far just a coupe of blocks. "I'm Brianna by the way." she said with a smile.
They made they're way to the dinner and sat down Brianna order two coffees thinking she say something before the waitress ask so to save Damien from having to write. "if there is anything else you want i can order for you if you want?" She didn't want to make him feel uneasy.

Damien shakes his head. He pulls out a piece of paper and pretends to write, but than figures that she did see him tranform a pillar out of the ground so there was reallly no reason to hide his powers. He lays the piece of paper on the table and puts his hand on it. When he lifts it it says 'Are you okay? You hit the wall pretty hard.' He then slides it over to her.

Brianna looked at the paper then back up at Damien and smiles “Yes I’m fine thank you for asking, it must have looked worse then it really was.” The waitress brought the coffee to them and sweetly asks if they wanted anything more Brianna replay that they were good for now and thank her for the coffee. As so as she left Brianna went back talking with Damien. “So are you from New York?” She thought it might be a good idea to get to know the man that just saved her.

Damien touches the paper and the ink glows blue and rearranges itself and reads 'No I am not. I am here on business. If you don't wanna have to read these you can put your hand on my hand and I can use my trick.' he touches the paper again and the words again change to read 'And that's not a trick just to get a pretty girl to hold my hand.' Damien looks at her and smiles. He picks up his cup and takes a drink. He looks on the table and notices the sugar is out. He rubs his hands together and there is a glow under his gloves. He then grabs the salt shaker and which glows slightly. Damien pops the top off and pours the new sugar into his coffee and takes another drink.

Brianna couldn't help but to laugh not only at the comment about hand holding but the way he made the salt turn into sugar. " that has to be one of the cools things i have ever seen!" she smiled at him, Brianna never meet anyone that could do anything like that before and she was starting to feel guilty now for not telling him about her. He had been so open with her that she didn't think that it was right for her to keep it from him. "Can i show you something?" she ask then finished her coffee "We'll have to go outside." She added.

Damien smiled at her laughter, he had been so focused on his work over seas that he hadn't had much interaction with people other then his mission and the sets of monks he trained with. He finished his coffee as asked him her question. He sets his cup down and nods his head. He stands as the waitress walks over and he pulls out a wallet and hands the waitress a ten. "I will be right back with your change sir." She says but Damien shakes his head and smiles. With a shocked tone say replies with a "Thank You!" Damien extends his hand and helps Brianna out of the booth and thinks to her 'I'll follow you.'. They begin to leave but Damien stops and rubs his hands together, he turns and touches the salt shaker and turns it back into salt.

Brianna didn't say much as they made they'er way to a small park, she know that this last at night there wouldn't be to many people so she would be able to show him a little of what she could do, although she still wasn't sure what she was going to do all she did know was here was someone that would understand.
once in the park they made they're way to a area of the park that was mostly trees she figured that the trees might hide them from anyone passing by. She had him stand in front of her "okay mmmm just stay here and don't make any movement's, and please stay calm?" with that she closed her eyes when she did so the wilded life around them seem to be pull toward her. Birds, squirrels, rats , dogs, and cats all gathered at her feet. Soon there was so many animals around them that either one couldn't take a step, the amianls were looking at Brainna as if they where waiting for her to do some thing. She smiled at Damien "this is kind of the start of it there's more but yeah kind of wired right?" she giggle at here own words then bent down to pet the animals around her.

Damien looks at the animals as they gather around. He is startled by the amount of animals that were surrounding them. He had never seen anyone be able to summon animals like this. She bent down and pet the animal. He never would have thought that a random encounter would have led to someone with some sort of powers.

" I hope this isn't to much for you?" she waved her hands and the animals turned and started to walk away giving them room to talk. "Do you know of more people like us? I knew that New York use to have so many but with everything that has gone on it seem like we are all alone you know?" it would be nice to find more mutants life in New York was getting hard for people like them to live out in the open.
