Heroes

***Sishbee, is it possible that Sasha and Jason could be together? They would be the perfect twisted couple, and I intended on making Jason a bit Sylar-ish as well.

Sorry I haven't posted, but I will do it now.***

Tara Maise

"Tara, can you bring these documents to the court? I have a few clients coming in and can't leave today."

"Sure thing, Mr. Danson." I said. My office had been mobbed with work ever since summer started and it seemed I couldn't get a minute to myself. After work I rushed over to Hunter College to take night classes for becoming a doctor, but that was all my secretary money. I used the money my parents were sending me to eat, which wasn't much. When I finally got home I was exhausted and it was around midnight, but in the early morning at 5:30 my day started all over again.

The court was across the GW bridge and in New Jersey. By the time I got back it would be 6:00 and I would have to rush over to my classes that started at 7:00. Good thing I got paid by the hour.

Jason Maise

I was on my break, something I never seemed to have, when I was taking a stroll through Central Park. I could feel the life energy radiating off of everyone who passed me, like a glow of sweet mist that encompassed each individual. The feel was refreshing, but ever since my powers had developed and I had tasted the power, I was afraid I had grown a liking for it. But I suppose it wasn't a liking, but a craving, a thirst. The power that came with the sweet touch of life energy was invigorating and it took all my strength to not suck it from each passing person.

**Sure Selene! (How could I refuse Orlando Bloom?!) They would make a pretty nasty pair!**

*Ballow is currently overseas on schoolies. He just finished highschool in Australia and is enjoying the sights in England*

Ballow


Ballow stared at the object in wierd fascination. He wondered what it was meant to stand for. A person was orbserving it next to him, so he tapped the person on the shoulder and asked, "What's this statue mean?"

The person loooked back and replied . . .

*ArGHH! Anyone in England can be that person I suppose, you can chose your own random statue as well.*

Peter Evans~~

Peter woke up slowly from a deep sleep. He crawled out of his bed lazily and made his way to the kitchen he looked at the clock and it read it was 1 o clock he had slept in last night after what had happened to him. The day before he was at his patients home and when he was on the balcony it just feel out under him. Somehow though he stayed in the air, flying he had been in such shock he said he would not be in today just so he could figure it out. So all he knew was that some how he had flown but how. He had a few theories but none made real sense to him at all. One was that there had been a glass platform beneath him in case something like that happened, but he would have felt it and he had been above the balcony. He had thought that he had been dreaming, but he never remembered waking up. He thought maybe he could actually fly how was unknown but it was the only thing he could try for now. He knew he had to try again but not from that height he would start a few meters up. He started out of the house and to the park a few blocks away. He went over to the swings and got onto the top. He jumped up and then he fell down, doing this several times before giving up. he had no idea how he had done it but he knew he could do it but how was a mystery he would find out another day.

Ellis McCall

He could feel the Australian boy's power rolling off him in waves - it would be greatly useful to him, if he could get it. Of course, in full view of the public was definitely not the best place to kill the tourist. So instead, he answered the boy's question.

"It's Nelson's Column, kid. Commemorating the admiral who fought Napoleon." He gave him a friendly smile, "Impressive, isn't it?"

Lucian Knox

They'd hired a car from the airport, and Keira was even now navigating their route to the skating rink where the siblings were meant to work. Children of the millionaire owner, not that that meant anything to Lucian. If the Company said they needed to be brought in, that was what he did.

"So," his partner said without looking up from the directory, "How're we going to catch them? Run me through your plan."

He patted the fire extinguisher net to them - even if he had a walking one beside him, the extinguisher was a tried and tested method of bringing in pyrokinetics. Johnson used it. Bennett used it. He gripped the steering wheel a little tighter for a moment, then relaxed, starting to talk, "We take fire boy first, stop him from using his powers straight off the bat. Then, once he's at our mercy, we use him as a hostage to get the Summoner."

"And if she doesn't comply?"

Lucian shrugged, "Then I'll break her brother's arm, show her we mean business. Tell her I'll kill him if I have to."

Keira gave him a horrified look, "You wouldn't!"

"We've already got the two Johnson brought in, we don't need a third for anything, really. But a Summoner would be very useful." He didn't add that it would oust Bennett from his pedestal, the list was good, but so far he'd done little with it. Lucian, on the other hand, was about to bring in a very rare kind of 'them'.

Ballow

Ballow gave the man an inquisative glance, to check him out. For some reason Ballow was getting a weird vibe off of this person. Ballow smiled and stared the guy right in the eyes, "You're interesting."

The guy was taken aback for a second, in maybe surprise or shock, "What?"

Ballow's grin widened, "You from around here?"

"Yeah, sort of. Why?" the guy replied warily.

Ballow's eyes sparkled, "Then you'll be my guide, eh?"

The guy's eyes widned for a second, before he answered. The word which slithered out of his mouth was scarily evil, but to Ballow is was merely interesting, "Perfect."

Ballow drew the guy into a headlock, "So, what's your name?"

The guy resisted attacking him, instead deigning to reply, "Ellis."

Ballow let out a loud laugh drawing attention from other tourists nearby, someone vlose muttered under their breath, "Bloody gays."

Ballow ignored them and fell to the floor in a fit of laughter. Ellis was staring at him, wanting none of the attention he was being given, "What? What's so funny?"

Ballow stopped rolling around on the ground to wipe a joyful tear of laughter from his right eye. He took a ragged breath and held in his chuckles then replied, "It's your name, " he giggled, "It's a girl's name!"

Then he continued to roll on the floor in laughter. A vein throbbed on Ellis's forehead, "What would your parents say if they saw you like this?"

It seemed to do the trick as Ballow stopped laughing and stood without a word. Then he turned to Ellis with a deadly look in his eyes, "Don't talk about my parents."

The look was gone so fast Ellis might've imagined it, but he was sure he hadn't. Maybe he had been wrong about using this one. Ballow grabbed Ellis's arm and dragged him down the street.

His mood it seemed, was once again happy and he turned to point at a cafe, "You hungry?"

"Uhh . ." the cafe was even more crowded with tourists than the statue in the middle of the park had been.

"Excellent."

Ballow then proceeded to push evetone out of his way, dragging Ellis behind him. Once they got in, he sat at a table where a family sat. Ballow smiled at them, "I want this table."

The father was at a loss for words, but when Ballow threw a hundred pound note at him, he narrowed his eyes, "Look, my family and I been waiting all day to get in here and you're not going to win us over with money."

Ballow threw a big thick bundle of a hundred pound notes at him, which he caught half stunned and then Ballow smiled kindly. The man stared at it, gave a quick glance at his wife then his children. They all stood up unanimously and left.

Ballow turned to Ellis, "So, what do you want?"

Ellis McCall

He sat down with a smile, bemused by the kid's antics. He shook his head, "No, I ate only a bit ago, I'll be fine for now. What did you say your name was, again?"

"Ballow, you sure-"

He stopped Ballow before he could say anything more, "And Ellis isn't a girl's name. Ellen is."

He flicked over the menu, "I don't think they've got Vegemite sandwiches here, Aussie. Sorry to disappoint."

McCall was fuming inwardly, from what he'd seen from this kid so far, getting him somewhere secluded enough to take what he had was going to be more difficult than he thought. He was going to have to tr a different tack. Leaning forward, McCall dropped his voice, "You're like me, aren't you?"

"What're you talking about?"

McCall looked at a salt shaker in the centre of the table, and it began to slide itself sideways, "That's what I'm talking about, Ballow." He stopped it, looking up, "What can you do?"

Ballow


Ballow smiled, a wonderful grin placing itself onto his face, "I don't know, what do you mean?"

Ellis held back an exasperated sigh and smiled kindly, then whispered, "I know you can. Come on you don't have to show me here, we can go somewhere where no one will see."

Ballow smiled blissfully and ignored him, "I'm really not in the mood for a sandwich. . . Actually I was more thinking roast beef with vegetables on the side."

He threw Ellis an apologetic smile, "We'll be a while I'm afraid. Sorry to disappoint."

Inwardly Ellis was writhing at the fact that Ballow had just turned his insult back upon himself. A waiter approached him and Ballow repeated his order, then glanced at the man who sat opposite him. He smiled, "Ellis will have some mint icecream and a dollop of cream."

"Will that be all?" the waiter asked after scribbling down the order.

"No, I said I wasn't hun-" he was cut off.

"Yes, that will be all. Thank you." The waiter bowed and walked off. Ellis was fuming at the spoilt brat, it was like he had no sense of anything! Ballow then turned his attention back to Ellis.

"So, you think you're a superhero?" he asked as of he were stating something about the weather.

Ellis was at a loss for words. He just wanted to steal this guys powers now just for the hell of it. Ballow was really getting on Ellis's nerves.

Ballow smiled again, "You like mint don't you?"

Ellis found himself wondering how the boy managed to sepak about two totally different things right after each other.

Ballow waved a hand in front of Ellis's face, "Hello-o-o?"

Ellis snapped back to attention and Ballow grinned, "Actually you know its a same gender name."

Now what was he talking about? He continued, "Like Jadyn or Azrael or Jack. Though I have to say Ellis is a tad feminine."

Ahh, his name that's what he was talking about. Ballow went oddly quiet for a second, "You know my parents didn't even choose my name? They let the doctor choose it."

Then he was back to his normal self as the waiter arrived carrying his meal. The waiter placed in front of Ballow and the mint ciecream with some cream infront of Ellis. He nodded than walked off.

A bit of drool slipped down Ballow's chin as he glanced at his food, "Wow, better than I expected. Yours looks good too."

Ellis had to admit that it did indeed look good and even though he had eaten, the scrumptious food before him beckoned him to eat it. Ballow finished his meal without a word.

He swung his gaze at Ellis who was still enjoying the icecream, Ballow grinned proudly, "See? I knew you were hungry. Especially for mint icecream and cream."

Ellis stared at him hating himself more than Ballow for actually eating the icecream. He stopped eating it then and pushed it away from himself.

Ballow pouted, "Spoil-sport. You hate to lose, don't you?"

Ellis decided to use this to his advatage, "I also hate people who hide stuff and lie."

Ballow's pout slipped off of his face and a grin tooks its place, "I really have no what you're talking about."

Ellis snapped.

Ellis McCall

His eyes flashed and he snarled a little. If it hadn't been for some vestige of self-preserving instinct within him, he would've killed Ballow and taken his power right there. But that would've been foolish. So instead he just stood up, grabbing his jacket from the back of his chair. He turned to go, taking a few steps before he simmered down, turning back to Ballow with a somewhat sickening smile, "You don't get it, do you?"

Ballow smiled, holding his hands wide, "Get what? I still don't know what you're talking about."

McCall shook his head, "You can't see when someone is trying to help you. I know you're not normal - beyond what most people would see as abnormal in you." He turned again, speaking as he left the cafe, "Try and find me again when you've matured a little and actually want some help."

He pointed a finger back at the table as he left, the salt shaker flipping off the table and into Ballow's lap, salt spilling all over him. The cafe was crowded, and no one else noticed. McCall smiled to himself, Now I've made my point. Hopefully in a manner he'll understand.

He'd keep tabs on the tourist anyway. The second he let his guard down, McCall would be there to take his power. Whatever it was.

Keiran-

Kai was eating lunch at the rink when the pair walked in. Thankfully the arena was an open area with plenty of windows, a good place for him to use his abilities. The man was typical, there was nothing to off set his appearance, except that he was carrying a fire extinguisher.

But the girl, Kai choked on his soda when he got a good look at her. Dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt, she looked like you typical teenager. Her long green hair fell in cascades to her waist, but it was her face that drew Kai. The same face as his, more feminine and with different coloring, still it was the face that stared back at him when he looked in a mirror. Kai couldn't believe it Keira was alive. But the logo on her shirt turned a dream into a nightmare. It was the Primatech logo, a front for the company.

As if she knew he was watching her, her gaze swept over the food court, and caught his own. He saw her eyes widen in recognition and disbelief, clearly she'd thought he was dead too.

His hand clenched crushing the soda in his hand. Kai didn't hear people shout as the pop went flying. Ears ringing he stood up and crossed the room.

Keira-

Keira felt a strange bubbling in her chest, she didn't recognize the feeling for joy at the sight of her brother. She reached out a hand and stopped Lucian from heading after the fire starter. He turned and glared at her, obviously agitated.

"Don't start with me." She ordered, then jerked her chin in Kai's direction. "See that gray haired boy coming towards us."

Lucian glanced over and shrugged. "Yeah, what about him?"

"He's my twin brother, Keiran."

That got his attention, Lucian looked closer at the boy before turning to Keira. "I thought you were the only survivor of that plane crash."

Keira raised her eyebrow and gave him a 'duh' look. "So did I. No one normal could ever have survived that crash. And powers do run in families. If Kai's power is anything like mine, he's worth a hell of a lot more then some little fire starter. Like you said we've already got two of them."

Ballow

Ballow watched Ellis leave, half amused, half delighted at the way he had made the poor guy snap. He smiled at the retreating form of Ellis , happy that he had gotten him to run. He stared at the salt sitting all over him , which he was sure Ellis had purposefully done.

He picked some up and flciked it over his shoulder muttering something along the lines of, "Guess the mint didn't sit well with him."

What he didn't notice was that some landed on the girl sitting behind him, she seemed about 20 with cherry red hiar and chocolate brown eyes. She sat there quietly, unsure of what to do. Ballow positioned himself onto his knees so that he could see her better.

He smiled at her, "You're awfully quiet. And look at that mess on you. You should eat neater."

It took her a while to realise that he was talking about the salt he had flicked on her. Then he moved and sat at the table she was sitting at, "So, you are?"

She muttered out her name, "Ha-han-hanna."

Ballow smiled at her, "You're interesting."

She seemed taken aback for a second, why would this boy who had so carelessly waved around money find her a quiet person interesting? His smile took a tainted egde as he leaned towards her, "I know you heard that conversation, and I know you can too."

She was at a loss for words and then he continued, his smile brighta dn cheery again, "Anyway, yeah, yadda yadda. You wanna have some dessert?"

He glanced at the meal that whad been already eaten ifront of her and smiled. A new waiter approached them. Ballow ordered, "Chocolate mud cake with strawberry icecream and a cherry for this woman please."

The waiter nodded and wlaked off. Ballow turned his attentiojn back to Hanna, "So, what can you do."

She was usually very cautious about reading minds, but the boy infront of her made it fly into the wind. Hanna atempted reading his mind to make sure he wasn't bad, but all she saw was imconprehensible dribble flying everywhere, some of it was filled with pain others with amusement. Nothing in his mind made snse.

Ballow was staring at her in awe, "I felt you. You're a mind reader."

He smiled again, "I knew you were interesting."

RICARDO

Ricardo stood in his shop which though it was full was really empty. He focused on the door that 8 kids at 13 had just ran out in fear and shook. He knew why they had, him but how he did not know. He looked at the 5 faces around the room. All of their faces belonged to him. They all had the same face, voice, body, and posture as him. They all acted normal like he usually did, and at the moment he looked like the opposite. His face was in a look of shook, some how he had split him self into 6. He had no idea how he would do it but he had to get rid of the clones. He tried to just concentrate on it but nothing happened. Then he tried to do it by touching them. He did every thing he could think of with no results and then when he was out of them he just collapsed into a chair and let out a groan, then he felt a sensation roll over him and when he opened his eyes the clones had disappeared and hopefully not into the streets.

Tyler Evans


Tyler sat in his room reading when he heard the frantic steps of his brother come up the stairs. The the door to Tyler's room burst open with Alex standing in the door way excited about something. Alex closed then locked the door and walked over to his brother,
"Man i have to show you something it is awesome" Alex said
"man I've told you a million times the birth mark on your back does not look like a monkey juggling fish" Tyler stated
"no, not that, but it totally does"
"then what"
"i can shot lightning out of my hands"
"yeah sure and i can turn my skin into steel"Tyler sneered sarcastically
"really, that's awesome we could team up and fight villains we could be super heroes" Alex said drifting off into a day dream of it. "i would be the amazing shock trigger and you could be my side kick the steel slider"
"man i was being sarcastic and even if i wasn't I'm the bigger one so why would i be the side kick"
"so, you don't believe me about the lightning thing" said Alex confused
"i believe it as much as i believed you when you thought Danny Copper was an alien and probed you"
"so no" asked still confused
" yes i do not believe you" Tyler said slowly and loudly
"then I'll show you watch" Alex said and moved back. He threw a punch giving a scream and when nothing came out he frowned. He tried again this time screaming louder and angrier, with the same results. Alex frowned again and then tried a few practice punches first and some kicks then let punch go with a louder energy filled and when nothing happened he collapsed to the floor with sadness and crawled over to Tyler. "man you have to believe me i swear i did it before"
"yeah man I'll believe it when i see it now please go i have to do my English reading homework"
"fine I'll leave" Alex said and walked out of the room sadly.

Sasha

There was so much life in the park. So much freewill. Of course she didn't venture into the park, too much light, too much risk.

Then she felt the tingle. That strange shiver down her spine. Power, somewhere in the park. She smiled a little. It was coming closer. Scanning the park for anything unusual, the ends of her fingers itched. She could feel so much, the ability to move, think, see, smell, even to breathe. But where were they?

More importantly, what were they? She was still in the shadow of an alleyway to the side of the park. They were getting closer.
