As Draco and Adam slowly walk down the sidewalk, their footsteps in sync, they both are taking a drag off of a cigarette, taking turns of course. They don't have much money, since they are both outcasts from society basically, they have low end jobs at a local café, Adam's a waiter, Draco's a coffee and frozen coffee maker. They've been friends for a few years now, so their pretty close, almost like brothers- no- exactly like brothers. They are soul brothers, looking out for each other, making sure one of them doesn't get jumped or mugged in an alley way or something like that. Though, if someone were to actually try to mug them, they'd either blow them away or telekinetically push them across the street.

 

Adam stopped walking and put his hand on Draco's chest suddenly and pointed in front of him, "Bro, Look!" he says in exclaimation, his pale blue eyes hidden by the dark shades he's wearing. Draco stops and looks up instantly in a panic, but sees nothing but a stray cat, he raised an eyebrow at his companion, and Adam shrugged, "Hey, I like cats, what can I say?" Draco sighs and makes his reply with a gruff crackly voice, "You can not give me a heart attack again, thanks. You can also feed, clean up after, and take care of that cat. But I'm not helping take care of that cat. And if he shits or pisses in my bed, I'm kicking his ass out the house." he said and Adam shrugged, "Ok, Deal...Wait...I don't have enough money to buy a litter box and cat food and stuff..." Draco nods, still looking at the feline, "There enlies the problem, bruh. No damn money. We need to find a dope way to use our powers to like, make money and shit." Adam raises and eyebrow and puts on a devilish smirk, "You mean, like the tournament? The single biggest and most viewed event in the WORLD?...Yeah I think we could have a shot at making money that way." Draco nodded, " Mmhm. But we ain't good enough yet. You seen them bastards?! They can like, freeze the air around them and shit. Or that dragon Chick, the Russian one. You know, the creepy one, the one that's a Centurion? Chick was fuckin' crazy bruh, shootin' flames n' shit." Adam nods and looks at the sky, sighing softly, "I heard she was helping people train up. To compete in the Arena for like, sponsors and stuff. I think we could do that. But how in the actual frag are we gonna find her?" Draco sighs and raises his eyebrow, "You seriously never cussed before have you, Adam? Whatever. Anyway, yeah I don't know how we may find her, but in the mean time, I think we should like, spar against each other ya know, to like, get better n' shit. I also wanna see how far that fancy Telekinesis ​Bullshit can be stretched." Adam punched Draco in the arm hard and Draco grabbed his arm with a pained expression, "Ow, bitch." Adam shrugged and put his hands in his pockets, "Sorry, muscle spas, bro." he shrugged before Draco punched him back, making Adam fly into a trash can, making it fall over as he fell into it, Draco laughed hard and started holding his stomach, Adam slowly getting up as he brushed himself, off, "You butt." he said and wiped off his shoulder as he started walking off, Draco still laughing hard, stumbling around as he followed Adam, pointing at him as he stumbled and he tripped, falling on his face, Adam turned and started to laugh at him, but went to check if he was ok. He was. He then started walking again, "Karma's a mean one isn't she?" he chuckled softly, his hands behind his back as he walked down the sidewalk, Draco having to run to catch back up to his companion.

 

They soon find themselves in another bar. This one seemed to be a stripclub as well. Draco sat at the bar beside Adam and took a shot of Hennessey as Adam drank vodka out of the bottle. Draco shook his head and sighed as he turned around to face the crowd instead of the bartender, Adam sitting stationary, resting his head on the mouth of his vodka bottle occasionally between sips as he chatted with Draco about mindless things that had no real purpose.

Shadow walked around the city, with his claws in his pockets. He walked into a bar, sat down and grabbed a drink off the counter and took a few gulps without saying anything. 

 

Travelture stood in a dark alley randomly changing into people that pass by, occasionally laughing at it before changing his appearance again.

Alice was told to be a good girl. The men in the coats would take her away again if she behaved badly. When she behaved badly a lot of people tended to die.

 

She didn't behave all that well when she was little. 

 

The world was so very large at the moment. Or rather she had made herself very small, barely the size of a gnat as she drifted slowly through the street of relative giants. When she was small like this people didn't pay attention to her, and it made it easy for her to behave herself. Alice did not care how she drifted among them, be it upside down or sideways or some other strange angle. When she was like this up and down didn't really mean much to her. None of the passersby paid her any mind as her tiny speck of a body weaved through their legs and around their bodies, not paying attention to anything in particular as she soaked in the free air. She hadn't been outside in so long. 

 

@@reader8363, Then, floating there like a speck of dust in the wind, Alice spotted a strange fella with a face that changed shape. It fascinated her, reminding her of her little friends from her mind. She liked her friends in her mind, so she wanted to like this individual too.

 

She pulled her drifting form over to the alleyway until she was floating near his head before instantly growing back to her full size, planting her feet onto the wall and shifting her personal gravity so that this wall was the floor to her. she Crouched there on the wall bending over so her upside down face was parallel to the shape shifter, her smile broad and creepy and her eyes bloodshot from still getting used to the light of day. 

 

"hi there mister... you seem lonely... wanna play?"  her voice was quavery from lack of use, and it had a nervous giggle to it that spelled unstable.

@@Buck Testa, 

Travelture jumped back and changed back to himself. He said as he got over the scare,

"Shit, don't sneak up on people like that. I could have had a heart attack.

(Travelture can change his whole body, not just his head)

Shadow got up and stretch out his wings and started heading toward the arena to have some fun

[Buck Testa 5,505]

@@reader8363, Alice was pondering how she could play with him when she saw the flying creature overhead aiming for the arena in the distance. Her attention was pulled away from the shape shiftier and she hitched her gravitational pull . Her blond hair flowed forward with the new pull of gravity, partially obscuring her disturbingly broad grin and wide eyes that both twitched erratically. She was getting very excited. 

 

She bent backwards as she floated away, grinning at the shapeshifter in deranged manner as she called out "I'll find you later okay?" 

 

The men in the coats said she could do whatever she wanted in the Arena. She would be able to see her friends again without getting locked up. It made her happy. Happy enough to let out a nervous giggle of anticipation that sounded as disturbed as her expression was.

Adam and Draco both sat in almost silence, Adam quietly sipping his drink, a nice cold Vodka. Draco was just relaxing there, enjoying a cigarette. Draco looked around and saw a strange looking Beta, one that he'd not seen before around this way. He's been in these streets slinging drugs and stealing people's lives since he was 12. He knew EVERYONE in this part of the city...But Shadow was not one of them.

Draco tapped Adam's arm and motioned him to follow, and so he did. Soon they both sat on both sides of him, Adam still drinking his clear drink, Draco still puffing on a cigarette. Adam takes a swig of his vodka once more before saying to the newcomer, "Hey. You ever, you know. Fought before? Like a real fight, like in the Arena. I've always thought it'd be cool. My friend and I are both looking for a way into the competition, but we need to train and get better. You think you could, you know..." Draco cut in and put his cigarette out in the ashtray, "Become our punching bag?" Adam sighed and shook his head, "Sparring partner. We both know each other's moves like the back of our hands." Adam said hastily as Draco lifted his black shades onto his slicked back hair as he started to scan the room once more.

Shadow turned to them, and said as he pulled his metal claws out of his pockets, 

"Sure, but I don't really know if that good. I'm not one that will just dodge punches and all that. You both can start whenever you are ready."

He removed his coat and placed it on the ground, then he grabbed a bottle out of the coat's pocket and took a few gulps

Adam shook his head and sighed, "Never intended you to, friend. We just want someone to test ourselves with." Draco nodded, "Yeah, besides, we can't fight here in the bar anyway, damn Centurions would be all up our asses about it." he stated and Adam agreed with a sigh. Draco then stretched and patted Shadow's shoulder softly, "But, we can fight in the street. Just don't destroy and cars." Adam then stood up and threw away his bottle, walking out the door, Draco following, "Come on, dawg." he said and turned to leave.

@@Aurora Lights,

Shadow followed them and said when they were in the road,

"Ready, do you want to try to hit me from the front or the back, or maybe from both sides, one at a time or at the same time, I don't really care how you do it."

 

Travelture got over the scare, then he changed his form to the person that he just met.

Draco took a breath and shrugged to Adam, who was taking off his leather jacket and placing it on a bench neatly. Draco sighed and shook his head softly as he tossed his jacket beside Adam's without a care about how it landed. Draco then volunteered Adam by saying, "I think I'm gonna sit back a minute, let you weed out his abilities." Adam looked at Draco with a raised eyebrow then cracked his neck as he turned to Shadow, he then took a stance and took a soft sigh of peacefulness before he closed his eyes and he faced his palms towards Shadow, slowly pulling his arms back to where his hands were flush with his body. He then snapped his eyes open and thrush his hands forward, creating a telekinetic energy wave that impacted Shadow in the chest, not only causing him to be thrown back about 5 feet, but also knocking the wind out of him. Adam held out his hand like he was holding onto something and he slowly lifted his hand, the parking meter beside slowly started being torn out of the concrete, the mineral cracking and snapping like bones as he ripped the machine out of the ground. Adam gulped as he felt his heart pound from the major task of breaking a pole out of the ground. He then levitated the pole towards him and he held it like a club in one hand, using his telekinesis to help carry the normally heavy, implanted object.

@@Aurora Lights,

Right before Shadow hit the wall, he opened a portal and flew into it to avoid damage to the wall. He walked out of the portal, laughing, and said,

"Wow, if I didn't have quick reflexes, I wouldn't be able to do my job."

He flew over and grabbed the parking meter and said as he held onto it before throwing a punch, 

"Did ya think that you're going to bat me away when I would charge?"
