Julius was made slightly uncomfortable by this girl's kindness. It was strange.
As she stood, he did the same. "Follow me," he commanded as he hastily made his way to and down an alleyway.

She glanced back over her shoulder and then turned to follow the man... which was, of course, a BRILLIANT idea. The girl was far too trusting; that much was obvious.
"Where are we going?"

"I was just working on getting us to a safer area and away from those creeps," he said without looking at her. He suddenly stopped to check around some corners, then took a left. "But if there's somewhere specific you would like to go, I can pull up a gps."

She stumbled as he stopped suddenly and had to catch herself, following his eyes as he glanced around and wondering what he was looking for.
He took a left, and she trailed after him, tilting her head to one side. She tucked her hands into the pockets of her pants, hunching her shoulders slightly.
"I honestly don't know where I was going. I was just wandering around..."

"Alright, then we'll focus on just getting to the area that law enforcement actually cares about."
By now, they had come out into a street, on which Julius took a right. Now that they were there, he slowed his pace to a lazy walk, his hands in his pockets. "I'm Julius by the way," he said over his right shoulder.

Shiloh caught up to him just as he introduced himself, and gave him one of her beautiful smiles. She glanced back in the direction she came, still wondering about the people they had left behind, but kept pace with the man who had saved her.
"I'm Shiloh. Thanks for your help, back there. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't shown up."

"Probably would've been beaten up, robbed, possibly had your brains blown out, but I'm not sure she had the balls to do that," Julius said matter-of-factly.
At the close of his sentence, an ambulance came from around the corner. "Ah, there they are."
The flashing lights and sounds whirred past them as they continued down the sidewalk.

Shiloh winced at his blunt words. He probably wasn't wrong, but saying it so straight forward was a bit shocking.
"Why did they ask if I was a Meta?"

"So they would know whether to be afraid of you or not," Julius swiftly answered with a stern air of importance, as if he needed to get the point across. In fact, he nearly interrupted her. After a brief moment, however, his voice calmed as he continued, "Honestly it's a good thing you didn't say yes, or they probably would have shot you. Maybe not to kill you, but to make sure that you'd be in too much pain to use your abilities."
After crossing an intersection, Julius would come to a stop, waiting to take a left and cross the other street. "So now that you don't have a gun to your head," he paused as his dark amber eyes looked into Shiloh's for the first time. "are you a meta?"

Shiloh bit her bottom lip. She hadn't told any of her friends yet about her abilities, but she had decided to. She couldn't keep hiding if she wanted to help; she needed to come clean. It was a war that was constantly plaguing her... To admit, or to run and hide.
She took a deep breath, glancing around to see if any of her people were nearby. Hesitating a moment, she finally nodded, not quite able to meet his eyes.
"Y-yes. But most people don't know that. Not yet."

"Oh, cool," Julius said as the light for them to cross turned green. Lazily crossing the street he continued, "I get it can be hard to tell people. And don't worry, I won't out you."
"So what's your..." he paused to shake his hands as if he was casting some ridiculous spell, "...thing?"

Shiloh giggled slightly, giving a shrug of her shoulders.
"I have the same ability my dad had. I could basically phase out of the real world. Or, at least, out of people's perception."

Julius nodded. "That's pretty sick. Like invisibility?"

She shrugged and nodded.
"Kind of, but it affects everything. Like, even if I speak, people can't hear me. I'm not totally sure how it works, just that I can do it."

"Weird, but cool."
As they rounded a corner, Shiloh would notice that they were coming up on the Apartments. "Well, if you are a meta, I assume your place is here somewhere?" he asked with a nod to the building.
