Prescience

Adam wished that whatever had given him this new power would just take the damn thing back! Even if it rung some sort of bell so he’d know where a flash would come it would be nice. Adam grunted, leaning against the nearest wall, hand pressing against his forehead as his senses came back online after being grabbed, shaken and thrown to the back of his mind for however long it took the future to press into his mind.

“Guh...ugh...what?” Adam mumbled, cracking his eyes open. Someone had said something but whatever it was had been eaten up by the loud, consuming waters of time, the same waters that washed over him and pulled him under each time he had a vision of the future.

   of all the wild scenarios to have happened to him , this one by far , wins the prize. his cat had wandered off again , and managed to trap itself up on a high branch. he spends a solid hour and a half , trying to coax the feline back down. all to no avail. cyrus squints up against the sun, trying to set a plan into motion. the tree is pretty large , should be able to support his weight. but it’s got some intimidating height , for plant. ultimately he’s decided , his cat is too precious to leave , and is now scaling the lowest of the branches. he makes about three feet into the tree, when he realizes he’s got an audience. “ don’t laugh! my cat is in distress and i have to save her, before she falls. i’m pretty sure she’s already used like five of her nine lives , and i can’t risk it! ” he huffs out , with a frown. “ you’re gonna help , or just watch? you can stand underneath the branch , incase she jumps. ”

This was just pathetic. Lukas frowned as he looked at his phone from the rooftop that he was currently perched on the ledge of, legs dangling lightly in the air as he read up on what some of his contacts had to say. The little science experiment didn’t understand how Chicago could have gotten into such a mess. The young man sighed, the pixie-like wings on his back twitching after the small movement before he noticed footsteps approaching him. 

“I figured most people wouldn’t come to the roof. Is this your hiding spot?” Lukas asked with a amused look, peeking at the other over his shoulder.

Shaun knew that he probably shouldn’t be doing this...It was late at night, and he really should be studying for school or something...But Shaun was tired of studying, and really just wanted to steal a power and let lose. Shaun could use a power that has been used in a two mile radious of himself in the past two hours. It’s been awhile since he’s let himself divulge in the abilities, and he was ready to do so now. But then, right as he was about to begin, he noticed something.

Or rather, someone. “Did you need something?” Shaun asked curiously with a raised eyebrow.

History Lesson - Open

Seeing another article about a ‘rogue’ conduit apprehended in the line of duty, James realised that he knew little of what had happened during the ‘Third World War’. At the time he had watched the news but with a baby and a law practice his plate had been rather full. It was that morning article, so innocuous, that had made him realise he knew little of the true ins and outs. So he went to the library.

In the three years since the ‘end’, James doubted there would be many accurate reflections on the subject, but...well, his life was rather on the empty side at the moment and he had the time. Clad in black trousers and a crisp, white shirt, James put on a jacket - though with the sunshine it may be a layer too much - and went off in search.

There he found very little on the topic but borrowed one book, which he took to the park to begin reading. How long had it been since he had read a textbook...his brain felt out of practice as he scanned the chapter titles. 

Not so out of practice that he believed everything written. It was obvious that this particular title was working off some very, very lacking evidence. James groaned as he gave up, stood up, and chucked the book in the bin.

    as much as she adores her pets , she also , can’t stand them. for such pudgy dogs , they sure could move. both were currently waddling along eiffel’s side , as she walked down the sidewalk. upon arriving at the park , she unhooks their leashes and let’s them run after , their tossed chew toy. the only available bench , was occupied with another body. “ you mind moving over some , so i can sit. ” it wasn’t much of a question , more of a demand. “ you’re either on the left side of the bench , or the right side. you’re not going to be in the middle , to where i , don’t have any space. ” barely giving time for them to reply , she’s moving to claim the side of the bench , closest to her. just in time for her dogs , to come running back , with their toy.

    it was an off day for him , so he opted to go for a stroll. taking his dog with him , to explore some of downtown chicago. apparently old habits , died hard. he’d given in to temptation. but in his defense , they’d actually dropped their wallet. monserrate had just taken what he deemed was a fair enough tip. “ hey , you dropped this. ” he called out to them , handing the item over. “figured you’d want it back. ” he informs with a shrug. and if their wallet felt lighter than what it had been , then oh well.

Sleep was something that didn’t entirely come easy to Robin these days. In lieu of slumbering during the night, he found himself wide awake once the sun went down, inspiration struck. He had taken to venturing out into the city when staying his cramped apartment became too stifling, laptop in his bag and enough money to keep himself fueled with at least a few cups of coffee while he typed away at... well, what was supposed to be his latest story. It was more of a right mess than anything else.

But it would be something, one day. Some day. If he could just fucking concentrate long enough to write more than a few sentences, and be satisfied with that. For the longest time, all he did was stare at the screen, fingers hovering over the keys before retreating to flop into his lap. “Fuck,” He sighed, brushing a hand through his unruly hair in frustration. Glancing around himself, he leaned over and tapped the shoulder of someone in the seat nearest to him. 

“ ‘Ey, er-- sorry to bother you, but, can I get your opinion on somethin’ real quick?”
