"What'd you say about my girlfriend?!" Yelled a rather large man with a bald head and large facial hair around his mouth as he began to aggressively move against a younger man, Benjamin. Benjamin shrugged and smirked, being the typical witty guy he was. "I didn't say anything about her; I said it to her. And I told her I've never met a girl who didn't know she looks good." His reply was merely a fist, that sailed straight into his stomach. Benjamin buckled over with a gasp as he couldn't believe how hard he was just hit. The large man then grabbed him by the throat with one hand and launched him through a wall. The wall buckeled under the pressure and collapsed, ontop of Benjamin.
Ben slowly moved the piles of debris off his face before getting to his feet. This guy didn't have normal human strength, he was ridiculously strong, and that made the playing field unfair for Benjamin. Or did it? He looked around, they were in a alleyway, people were passing by but they wouldn't be able to make out clearly what was happening. "You know, punk, you're gonna be surprised to find that you ain't fighting just a human. Too bad I'll break your damn insides so you cant tell anyone about me." Benjamin straightened himself up, and merely smirked. Yep, this guy had a secret; and so did Ben. "Well, let's hope you don't burn out before you can." With that said, the man rushed forward and attempted to punch Ben in the face, whom ducked and then placed his right palm against the big man's stomach. Within a split second, the man's entire upper clothing was on fire. The man began to panic, he couldn't believe what had just happened. The man ran, desperately in search for water and Benjamin just stood there casually, laughing to himself.

He sat quietly, with a friend from work, awaiting to try a drink called 'coffee'. He had heard of it be never considered trying it. It was far from his usual drinking habit. Which consist of water, tea, and the occasional sake or other alcoholic drink. A friend of his recommended the drink, when the drink was made and passed to he sat there and stared at it. It was a pure black drink and it looked revolting. "This is coffee? Are you sure it's good?" He asked his friend calmly.
"Yea it really good! You have to try some!" She replied to him. "You promised me that I could take you out for once! It's the least I could do right? Treat you to something new!"
His eyebrow twitched a little bit. Her intentions were sweet, but the drink looked really gross. But he couldn't refuse her, it would be rude. He slowly picked up the cup and was about to have a drink but then a uproar came about. Two men fighting over a woman. One of the men grabbed the other by the throat and launched him right through a wall. He looked at his friend and told her to leave. After a small debate she finally went to her car and left.
As he was going to go help the one who was slammed through the wall the other person ran by on fire. 'A mutant using his power against another?' He thought. In his eyes, that was wrong. But to the young man all fighting was wrong. If it were just for self-defense he would of been fine with it, that wasn't the case. As he walked closer to the other man, he could he soft laughter as if he enjoyed seeing others in pain. This angered the young man a bit but maybe the other guy was just confused in what he truly wished for. He stood behind him and calmly spoke with his arms crossed in front of him.
"So you had fun did you?"

Benjamin noticed someone come around from where the wall was smashed. He stopped laughing and pulled out a lighter, as if to show that he set the man's clothes on fire with the lighter, not with his powers. The guy was suspicious of Ben, for fair reason too. A guy did just get into a fight with him, only to be set on fire. Well, he was lucky in Ben's eyes. He could've done alot worse than that.
"Depends. The fire part was entertaining. Being thrown through a wall with one hand; that ain't." He laughed as he tossed the lighter from hand to hand. He wondered what this guy was about. If he wanted a fight, Benjamin would oblige; but he'd prefer to not have to use his mutation to get the upperhand again. He'd actually prefer to not get into a fight anyway, as he was trying hard to lay low and get his music career back on track.

He observed the man carefully keeping a frown on his face. His brown eyes stared into the other man's as if he was looking right through him. He continues to stare at the man with his arms crossed. Looking at the othe man's movements and listening to his words. What he learn was, the other man was a bad liar and was confident in his abilities. He let out a soft sigh before speaking.
"I really don't like being mistaken as a fool." He started off. "A lighter like that burning a man like him?" He used his thumb to point to the direct the other man ran. "You New Yorkers are terrible liars, well that's if your from around here." He shrugs. "Whatever."
He leans against the wall. "So how long since you discovered your powers huh?" He asked casually.

Benjamin folded his arms as he was asked the dreaded question. Well, it wasn't dreaded for him, he was surprised that this one could catch on so quickly to his gifts. He stared directly at the asian man as he was asked how longer his powers had manifested for. He was silent for a few moments, with only a plain smirking look on his face. "A little less than two years..." Bringing his right hand up, he moved his fingers into a clicking position, before he made a click motion. A small flame appeared at the point of his fingers, before it disappeared. "I've learnt to control it over that time. Of course, not without some burnt toast along the way." he joked, making notion of his failed attempts at heating food and other objects.

"Two years huh? Kinda of a late bloomer huh? But you developed your power pretty well. Aren't you quite the person." The young man smiles. "My name is Hiro. Fellow mutant." He rolled his shoulder foreward and back to relax himself. "Unlike you my powers appeared much earlier so I had some time to develop my own." He walked closer to the joker mutant. And the raised out his hand for a casual handshake. "It is nice to meet you and what is your name?"

He took the compliment about the development of his powers quite well, and smiled before he outstretched his hand. Yet, as he went for a handshake, he remembered the he had no idea what this mutant's power was, and therefore physical contact could be dangerous. Well, if things got out of hand, Ben thought he could always raise his skin temperature to a ridiculous level. "Benjamin." He shook Hiro's hand in a firm but friendly manner. He left it at that, he didn't usually take too much interest in finding out about other people. He wasn't going to get connected with anyone as of yet, even just simple friendship.

It was obvious who had the advantage here. And it was Hiro, with the simple handshake he could easily screw with the electrical impluses in his rivals body. From paralyzing the entire body or mess with the usual funtions, like if he wanted to move his right foot foreword for the hokey pokey, he might end up moving his left should back like a moron. Though he never seen how powers would react to it, it would be fun to see. But he wasn't that kind of guy, to mess with people for no reason. "A pleasure." He said calmly letting go of the other guy's hand. "So, how do you feel about your powers eh?"

He took the younger man's hand rather carefully and was surprised to find that he didn't fall to the ground twitching from some strange power. He always knew that the mutant gene could be very plain or very unique; he was lucky enough to have the generation and manipulation of heat. "It feels good. At first, it almost completely screwed up my life, but now I feel like I'm higher than the human standard." He smirked, as he was slightly arrogant and felt very secure in his newfound powers. He could easily incinerate 10 or 20 people that were walking down the streets, but thankfully he did know right from wrong and he would never do that. "People view me as a cocky, but little man. As you just saw, they obviously discover the exact opposite."

"That is one way to think of it." He grinned a bit. "Higher than the human standard..." He said purposely repeating what he had said. "My...My....We are humans but born differently right? But they fear us. You and I can still be killed. At least I can I dunno about you. For all I know you can have a secret hidden power that makes you invincable. " He chuckles. "I am not your enemy and you are not mine. What does that makes us? Netural. And since we are both muntants. We are allies. Eventually we can become friends, if you wish."
He found it a bit odd when the Ben called him little man. They were the same height. And physical wise he was a bit more muscular. Without powers, he could probably take him on easily. But he learned never to underestimate anyone for any reason. "Little man? With that tone you give out. I can't picture you any other way but fighting." He said with a small and short laugh.

"If I was invincible, I'd be earning money in boxing or wrestling, not piano playing." He laughed to himself at the prospect of himself being invincible. "I don't have the luxury of friends, I have to move from place to place, far too often." It was the cold hard truth, Ben did lack friends, and if he did make friends, they would usually have to suffer because of his mutant gene and the enemies he had made over time. "By the way, you're yet to tell me your power..."

He thought of the little things. That was good, he didn't really like the types who would want to take over the nation kind of thing. He also understood the striking pain of lonliness. "As did I, but I finally rounded up some money to get an apartment near here. And as a fellow mutant you are like my brother. Only your not asian." He smiles. "In this world you will alway have a friend." He then lets out a sigh. "My powers are nothing special to be regarded in any shape or form. It's disgusting really."
