The night was cool and was dark enough to see the stars, this night. The young man sits quietly on his bed alone and unable to sleep. He looked into his and formed a ball of lightning and disbursted it by clenching his fist. He let's out a soft sigh before getting up and putting on a black jacket over his white shirt and a black flat bill hat to take a walk outside.
While walking he stops infront of a building and press his back against it then turn his gaze up to the glimmer white-colored stars. Letting out another sigh, he wonder what was in store for him in the future. Knowing he could not live a normal life because of his powers.

Monet decided to take a little flight for the night....and some how she would end up over New York city. She hadn't been planning coming this far, but apparently what was supposed to be a small flight around Boston ended up being a trip to new york. She didn't have anything better to do, so she figured she'd go to the big apple and maybe head over to Times Square for a little shopping. Naturally while Monet was strong, she did get a bit tired from flight and decided to touch down for a bit and landed by a building.
"Oh man..." she sighed turning around to see a young asian man leaning against the building. Monet had been extra careful in trying to conceal her powers....especially since Magneto's little assault on America's navy and the whole country was in a panic over mutants. She should have been paying closer attention and now it seemed that she had just revealed herself to this guy. She turned to face him, resting a hand on her hip. "Hello. And how are you this evening?" she asked. She figured she would at least try to be polite first. If he ran away and try to exploit her, then she'd beat him down.

He continued to gaze at the stars peacefully. He began to think of possible futures for himself and they weren't very glorious. Of course he was confused in all of this. But there was no reason to go crazy. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath of air then re-opened his eyes to see a woman....Come down from the sky? He closed his eyes once more and gave them a good rub. Once he re-opened his eyes he saw the woman walk up to him. He thought nothing of it, besides the whole flying part and coming down from the sky. She was like him in a way, having a type of power. But was she a threat? Was she dangerous? Her look said so, but he wasn't going to judge.
As she stop, she placed her hand on her hip and spoke her words were polite. He did want to give her the wrong idea. So he kept his cool and just smiled. It was better if he didn't say anything to much about her powers. She could have more other than just flying. In a calm and smooth tone he spoke. "Hey I'm pretty good thanks. And yourself? But I am pretty curious why a lovely woman as yourself decided to talk to a guy like me." He said wondering her intentions for him. He hope nothing to violent, he hated fighting more than anything else.

"I am well, thank you." Monet responded in a calm manner. She smirked as he called her lovely. At least she knew his eye site was in check. He wanted an explanation for why she would speak to a guy like himself. Ok, she didn't know that he had to be a certain type of guy for her to speak to. Then again, this was Monet we were talking about. She probably wouldn't have given him another glance if she hadn't revealed her powers to him.
"Just seeing if I have to break you in half or not..." was her blunt response. She didn't feel like beating around the bush so she came right on and gave him the explanation he had asked for. "Seeing as people aren't taking very kindly to mutants these days...I just wanted to make sure that you wouldn't run away screaming and bring attention to me. It's the last thing I need. While I would enjoy seeing may face on television or in the newspaper, I wouldn't want the reason to be exploitative. You know what I'm saying?" she smiled smugly.

"Good to hear." He stated with a smile. Still a bit wear of her intentions. Being the person that he was, he found that he couldn't really trust anyone anymore. He wouldn't know how would it turn out. He has also been really behind the news lately so he didn't know who she really was and what she could really do. This only made him even more cautious. He thought he could maybe understand her more with a series of questions, he was wrong and surprised at what she had to say next. She open gave her intentions to him and she was extremely confident in her abilities even enough to threaten people she didn't even know. 'Crap, one wrong move and I might end up in a fight she seems to be ill-tempered.' He thought to himself.
He pieced together the information he already had on her. 'She loves attention but and is probably wicked strong. Better keep up the compliments if I don't want to fight.' He thought some more analyzing her a bit. "I can't say that I do. I never been on the t.v or newspaper, I'm nothing really special after all. While you look like the type who lives high class. And probably deserve the good attention that I guess you get. Being the beautiful person that you are." He probably over did that but it was basicly the truth in what he saw, the good traits that he saw in her. And tried to hide the face that he was a mutant, it might just cause trouble. "So what bring you to the middle class of New York, miss?" He asked her not knowing her name.

"I mean, I appreciate the compliments on my beauty...but do you have any sort of back bone?" Monet asked folding her arms across her chest. She really couldn't stand others who put themselves down. I mean, that was for her to do if she felt it was right to class them as nothing special. She didn't know this guy, so she couldn't judge him.
"You're nothing special if you believe you are...or if I say so. And since I don't know you, I think you seem like a decent guy so far." she shrugged and decided to lean against the wall next to him. "I wasn't really heading to this part. I was heading to Times Square....I just had to take a little break from flying. I flew all the way from Boston. Also, no need to call me Miss. Makes me sound old. My name is Monet."

He smile a bit before speaking again. "Well it's not you see a flying woman everyday do you? Well you do but I don't. It puts a shock in the back bone." He puts his hands into his pocket and let out a short, glad the tension he felt, though the woman didn't have a mutual feeling, of a possible fight was over at least for now. If he kept his words in check and kept his easy-going self, well going, this could be a way for him to understand the mutants better. He had to get to know her more and understand what she is going through to make a complete judgement.
"And I believe that I am not miss. Just another person trying to get by and fit in society." He said softly keeping his smile on his face. But again that was to much. The lady infront of him was probably really smart and might see through his words and find out. 'Damn, really terrible choice of words.' He thought. He watch as she leaned to the wall next to him. "I guess I am a pretty cool guy once you get to know me." He said jokingly. "Wow your far from home and must be tired. This is a bit foreword and you could take of yourself but I can't find it in me to leave a woman on these streets. I have a car so I can drive you there so you can rest up. But only if you wish to go." He nods when she revealed her name to him.
"Names Hiro. It is nice to meet you."

"I'm a bit tired, but I should be fine in about a few minutes. Hey, I've been through worse..." she said as her mind drifted back to the fight with Wolverine. That was a rather nasty scuffle. She glanced at him as he continued to speak. His talk of fitting into society and getting by. "You sound like everyone at my school...or rather everyone just like me. " she smiled. She didn't want to ask him if he was a mutant. That would just be rude.
"Thanks for the offer Hiro, but...I don't exactly hop into a car with some stranger. Not that kind of girl." Monet chuckled running a hand through her hair. "If you have a car, why are you just standing out here like a bum?" she asked.

He nods his head, not really understandng what she mean't by that. Then when she said what she, he couldn't say that he was completely caught off guard. She looked highly intelligent on first glance anyway. "I do, do I? It would be insulting if I continue my act. Since you probably seen through my ruse." He said maybe overestimating her. But her smile, that smile gave him the understanding.
He chuckles a bit before speaking again. "Well that is understandable. I guess I was too foreword after all." He rubs the back of his neck with his right hand. "Tonight is a lovely night isn't it? Why drive and waste a good night by driving?" He looked up to the sky and gazed at the stars. "Unlike you, I don't have the freedom of flying. And I love gazing at the stars. So I walk." He said trying to be sweet and sincere. He couldn't admit that he felt uneasy by his powers.

"It's ok...ok, it is beautiful. I guess I do take flying for granted...." she said chuckling. There seriously was something awesome about soaring through the air and being among the clouds. Those who could fly would know that feeling and whose who couldn't know that freedom, well, she felt sorry for them.
"You...wanna go for a flight?" she asked. "If you like watching the stars from here, you should check them out in the sky. So?" she extended her hand.

He chuckles softly when they finally agree on something. Images came to his mind as if he could fly himself and see how glorious but small everything was. The fresh air flowing through his hair while the cold hair enters his lungs and makes him feel refreshed. But that was all it was a bitter dream he could not ever reach in his entire life. The closest he got was the airplane ride to California, but that just wasn't the same.
Then her words entered his head. He was shocked and surprised at what she has asked him. In his mind he was excited for the chance, still he was unsure. He turned and looked at the woman once more. This was a chance of the lifetime but he couldn't be rude and not repay her. Not to mention she could just drop him at will, while in mid-flight. "Only if you allow me to pay for a dinner date sometime." He said with a smile. He held holds onto her hand.

"Oh, honey I don't think you could really afford where I like to eat out...but I do like milkshakes." she smiled grasping his hand. The two began to levitate from the earth and accelerate into the night sky above. Funny...when she was a little girl and saw Aladdin, she always thought that a guy would take her for a night ride through the sky. Not the other way around...plus there was no magic carpet involved....but that was fine. Being able to fly on her own was better.
"Just let me know to slow down if it gets too windy so I can slow down..." she said as they started to reach a comfortable speed of 15mph. Higher and higher they started to soar eventually passing over the rooftops of the buildings and started to float among the clouds. "Pretty awesome, eh?"

"Then milkshakes it is then." He said giving her a wink. He continued to look at her the looked down. This caught him off guard. "Woah...This is--" He was then cut off as they reach speeds of what felt like 20 mph to him. Though he never expected to be swept off his feet. "And here I thought it was the guys who were suppose to dazzle the woman." He said with a laugh and looked down to see everything smaller. Just like his dreams. "This is....Amazing." He said wiping his eyes. He wasn't crying his eyes just weren't used to this. "Absolutely amazing." He felt like a kid once more. "I will give you all the milkshake you want." He said jokingly. She was also holding him easily this only mean't she was extremely strong. Not someone he would want to tick off.

"Well...It's good to know I did one good deed for the day. And you're right. The men are supposed to dazzle the women, but sometimes, it just doesn't work out that way." she shrugged taking them higher up. Now she was getting into it. Monet was naturally a show off so she couldn't help but add a few loop de loops to their flight for an extra bit of fun.
"There's no need to spoil me with milkshakes. I only aim to please. I'm just happy you're enjoying yourself...either you're a human who's really tolerant of mutants or you're one yourself. Somehow I get the feeling you're the latter..." she said looking over to him.

He laughs at her statement. "That can be true. I guess one day I will get to--" Again he was cut off but by his own screaming. "Holy crap!" He screamed as she did loops around in the air effortlessly. It even made him forget what he about to say. He couldn't help but hold her tighter. She was so warm, it made him blush slightly since it had been a long time since he was been in contact with women. If he was lucky she wouldn't of seen it. "Wow....I didn't expect that at all." He said with a laugh following it.
"I owe you. After all, your making a dream become a reality. Maybe one day I might have a chance to return your kindness to me." He looks up to the stars once more. They seem to be closer, but he knew better. But this feeling was overwhelming. "I might as well admit it. I am a mutant. I just wish I had this ability. I would fly all the time I wouldn't care who saw me, or what they think of me. This feels like true freedom." He looks at her and chuckles. "Sorry a bit dramatic tonight. I don't have the chance to go flying a lot obviously."
