Location: New York, New York
Rowan hurried into a 24-hour diner, avoiding the cold fall weather. He unraveled his large, wool scarf, folding it over his arm. Snow flurries were beginning to fall, though even before the wind licking at his face and arms.
"Sir!" a waiter called out, ducking under the bar and hurrying to him. "Its freezing outside! Would you like some warm coffee? Oh here, let me get you to a booth!" she seemed new at the job, her hair ajar, uniform wrinkled, the coffe pot she was holding splashing around. Rowan shook his head, following her towards a red leather booth. He sat uneasily, her hyper and disoriented attitude something he wasn't familiar with. He looked back up at his waiter, sweeping her aurburn hair out of her face as she steadily poured the caffinated beverage. A trail of black liquid trailed down the white mug, leaving a large puddle.
"Sir, I'm s-so sorry! It's my first day!" she squeaked, her eyes bulging. Rowan chuckled, "It's fine." he said, shaking it off. The waiter, whose name tag read Maggie, nodded, "I'll go get some napkins!" she apologized once again before scurrying off. Rowan sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. All he wanted to do was get out of the cold and relax, but now he found himself consoling a squabbling girl. The leather seat across from his crunched making Rowan open his eyes. Two men sat, darken sunglasses perched on their noses, blank stares sketched on their faces. Rowan jumped, not wanting the company.
"Can I help you?" he asked, eyes wide. He did not expect his tone to be so scared, wanting the question to come out as snarky and sarcastic. The man seated by the window chuckled childishly, his blonde curls clumping to his forehead. He seemed to be the younest, judging from his character, his wide jaw line clicking with giggles. The man next to him rolled his eyes, tugging at the collar of his leather jacket. "Yesh!" he mumbled, eyes narrowed.
"Your mother called us. Well, more like we called her," The giggling boy piped up, "I'm Isaac by the way. And Mr. Distant is Darren," he greeted, sticking a hand out.
"Dude!" Darren whined, pouting, "You know it's just cause Lola and I broke up!" he grumbled.
"Yeah, more like she dumped your sorry ass," Isaac mumbled, snickering lightly. Darren scowl deepened, his glare deadly.
The waiter returned moments later, a handful of napkins and a single menu in both hands. "Oh!" she gasped, seeing the two new occupants, "I didn't realize there would be more. I only brought one-" she stopped abruptly, looking at the menu. Grunting in distress, she slung the menu onto the table, forcefully scrubbing the drink off the counter. "Can I have pizza-"
"I'll be right back!" she interrupted Isaac's request, turning on her heels and high tailing it back to the kitchen. Isaac grumbled, but quickly got over the shrude waiter, his attention turned on Rowan.
"We know about your powers," he boldy stated. Rowan sputtered, the coffee he was sipping getting caught in his throat.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about," he lyed, readjusting his coat. Isaac smirked, "It's okay. We've got some pretty cool tricks ourselves," his eyes glowed a bright blue, his pupils turning to slits. He flashed a smile, his K-9's sharpened to a point. Rowan gaped at the boy, looking to Darren for an explanation. He merely shook his head.
Maggie came back with two menus. She gave Rowan a look, shock evident on his face. "Here you go," she said slowly, handing the pair their menus. She looked at Rowan once again.
"Oh!" she said, "You have a feather on your shoulder. A bird must of flew over you," she spoke, her hand moving to pick it off him. Grabbing hold of it, she tore it from him. Rowan bit his lip, trying not to scream out in pain.
"T-thank you," he stuttered, his face red in pain. Maggie gulped, "Your welcome."
Darren and Isaac gave each other a look before heading out of the booth. The each took hold of one of Rowan's shoulders, bringing him to his feet. "We're getting out of here," Darren said responsibly. They escaped the diner, leaving a fuming waiter, and ran towards their car. Rowan warped his scarf around the lower half of his face, shivering slightly. The trio approached a 2012 midnight black Camaro. "This is your car?"
"Yup!" Isaac nodded, patting the hood, "Ain't she a beaut?" Rowan smiled, admiring the body of the car, not wanting to imagine how much it cost.
"No, mine," Darren corrected, jiggling the keys. He stepped into the driver's seat, placing the keys into the ignition. Isaac open a passenger door, putting one foot inside. He turn to Rowan, "You coming, partner?" he asked, putting out a hand. Rowan thought for a moment, snow hitting harder than before. Did he really want to drive around in a luxury car with complete strangers?
Yes.
He smiled, taking hold of Isaac's hand and allowing himself to be pulled into the vehicle. Maybe this was a good thing. A new adventure. His grin grew wider as he laughed at Isaac's antics and Darren's scolding. This would definitely be one hell of an adventure.
