Dave was just starting to feel at ease again now that they were away from the building when Felicity mentioned this Jimm character knew about her power. He stopped dead in his tracks when he heard that. He started thinking about everything he knew about this creepy guy. He had been at the show, he knew people had powers, he knew Felicity had power. Once Logan hung up his cell phone, Dave glanced back at the building, then gently shoved the sidewalk under his siblings' feet to give them the hint to get moving again. He wanted as much space between his sister and Jimm.
"Lissy, can you tell me exactly what he said to you? Did he seem threatening, like maybe a blackmailer or something?" Something worse, he added in his mind, remembering stories he had heard about people starting to disappear. He'd always had a suspicion that these people had powers just like him and Lissy.

As Logan spoke on the phone, Felicity glared at him. Leave it to brothers to be overprotective. Well, she knew exactly which pair of leather boots she wanted, and she knew who would be buying them. She sighed at Dave's question as they started walking again. "He said something like, 'You were great out there, and I have to say, you seemed to be glowing'." Felicity bit her lip, trying to think of the implications. "It wasn't a threat, I don't think. It was more like he wanted me to know that he knew. I don't know what he had planed to do about it, though."

Dave kept walking with his protective big-brother senses still at a maximum. He still didn't like the guy who had been talking to Lissy. Something about the man bothered him and he didn't want that guy anywhere near his sister any more.
"Might be a blackmailer then," he said warily.

Logan began moving once Dave pushed him to move. He listened as Felicity described Jimm's words. "He might be, but what worries me more is that I think he's Special too. I mean, who else would know about abilities?" He projected. "I don't want you going to shows by yourself anymore, Fe. Let alone any other places without Dave or me. Hank doesn't count." He interjected before she could say anything.

occ: ROFL. I love his many random nickname; Mr. Double M, Jim with the two Ms and all that. lol wonderful.
Jimm nodded with understanding as the brothers tried to move the topic into a good bye. He kept his face under control but his hand clenched lightly at his side. He had really wanted to get some information on the glowing girl wondering if that was the extent of her power. He could do nothing to stop them though and he let them pass when they walked away but his eyes followed them till they left the door. Soon as they left his eyes sight he cursed low in his throat and punched the wall violently. His skin broke but after a minute it healed over and Jimm started walking after them. Only to leave the building though; he was not stupid enough to stalk them. No, if she was a model he'd find her at another show.
Walking out he looked both way before turning the way he hoped they didn't go while trying to think of a way to find that girl again. Obvioulsy those brothers of hers did not trust nor like him which would raise protection levels and the girl might even be on her toes. I guess I might have to wing it.

"What!" Felicity exclaimed. "No way! I'm an adult, Logan." She stared at him, fuming. "I'm probably wrong, anyways. This thing is probably being blown way out of proportion." Eyeing the flowers Logan had, she snatched them out of his grasp. "Thinks for these, by the way. But I'm still not going to let you or Dave chaperone me around all the time."

Logan ignored Felicity's outburst as he glanced over at Dave. "What's your work schedule gonna be like? I can go with her to the shows, but the shoots, which are in the afternoons, are gonna be more difficult." He felt the flowers leave his hands, reminding him that Fe was there. "Fe, I know if we're being a little overprotective, but when it comes to your powers," he glanced at Dave too, "both of your powers, there isn't room to be careless. I won't have my sister or my brother hurt by anyone, all right? Just do this for me okay? It'll just be for a little while until we can figure out who this guy is and what he wants. Please?" He gave her a pouting smile, "Pretty please?"

Stopping outside a pub, Felicity crossed her arms and glared at Logan. Her glare turned into an innocent smile. "Allright, fine. But only until you find out who this guy is. After that, I'm on my own again, no more babying." She looked at the flowers thoughtfully. "I saw a really cute pair of boots at the mall the other day. Maybe after we eat we can stop by and take a look? I mean, if I can't go anywhere by myself, you'll have to come with me." Her inncent smile turned purely mischiveous.

Why you sneaky little girl. Logan thought as his eyed her devilish smile. "Fine." Logan relented. "So, where do you guys want to go?" He asked, trying to get them moving towards a destination; the further away they were from Jimm the better.

Dave smiled at his sister's not-so-deceptive hint. He'd told Logan she'd find a way to squirrel the money she loaned him from her. Speaking of the money...
"I don't care where we go. There's a pretty good pizza place a couple dozen blocks from here." He suggested this to get them a good distance from the studio. "Hey, Lissy, when were you planning on loaning me that cash?" He gave Logan a sly grin. "You can contribute, too. It all goes to a good cause: making sure your brother has something else to eat besides cereal and dirty water dogs."

"Didn't I tell you to leave Fe's money alone!" Logan eyed Dave. "And what happened to the 500 I lent you last month?!" Logan accused. "Am I the only one who has a steady job?" He sighed, somewhat glad that his freelancing with the New York Times could allow him to help out his siblings. The money from the Bugle covered his expenses pretty well...it was just these two... He sighed again, it was all right after all, it was his responsibility after all. He just hoped that Felicity was saving her cash. Maybe she'll go pro in the modeling biz...maybe she'll go to college...that's what he hoped the most. "I'm in the mood for pizza. What about you, Felicity?" He asked, wondering how much those boots she wanted cost.

As Dave and Logan argued, Felicity walked a little ahead of them. Feeling her cell vibrate, she pulled it out of her coat pocket and took a look. She giggled, reading the flirty message from a cute guy she had met a few days ago. She responded quickly, with an equally flirty note. Realizing Logan had asked her something, she slowed down and fell into step between him and Dave. "Pizza is great. The perfect dish to celebrate Dave's debut on Broadway." Unlike most models, Felicity ate whatever she wanted. Food was too good to just not eat. Plus, with her exercise routine and generally healthy lifestyle, she wasn't worried about gaining much weight. And, even if she did get a little chubby, there was always plus size modeling.... or college. No, she would avoid that option until it was a last resort. College just wasn't something she thought she'd be good at. Looking to Dave, she said, "As soon as we're sitting I'll write you a check."

"Then pizza it is." Logan said as he began to walk in the direction towards the pizza joint. he was somewhat relieved after Felicity agreed towards his terms, although, he felt like he was the one being dooped. He made a note to make sure that Felicity understood the severity of being exposed or taken advantaged of. Honestly, he thought, shouldn't she know how cruel people were? She was in the modeling business after all. Felicity's next words sent his thoughts back. "Hey! Didn't I just say that you should save your money? I'll help Dave. You just make sure you keep saving, and maybe...you could head over to NYU later...I hear they have an excellent curriculum..." He slid in his hopes for her.

"Ugh." Felicity said, pretending to throw up. "Really, Logan? You had to bring that up?" She sighed, trying to find the right words. "I'm a model, a performer. If I went to college, I would have to give it all up. I'd have to sit down and listen to hours of lecture, and do homework." She shuddred at the thought. "Besides, besides modeling, I don't know what I would want to study." With a grin, she looked at Dave. "Dave understands." They were forced to stop and wait at a crossing then, with a host of other New Yorkers. Over the general hubbub, she said to Logan, "Also, I am saving my money. But helping family is more important than saving for myself."

occ: Hope you don't mind if I keep the threat of Jimm near bye just cause I feel this thread might slowly die if its just you guys talking and talking. Oh and whatever crazy thing you guys will throw in.
Jimm slowed to a stop as his leg started to vibrate with the movement originating in his left pant pocket. He pulled out his phone and then slid the Sidekick open to see a text. Hey I'm in town and thought we'd meet up at Alessandro's Parlor? The message was from his cousin and had Jimm scowling down at the words. Mark was always trying to repair the damage between them but the boy never understood that Jimm did not want a normal family relationship. " Dang."
The pizza parlor a good few dozen blocks away and Jimm walked to the side of the street and tried to get a taxi to ride to the curb. Grumbling one of the yellow cabs splashed water over him and his clothes. He cursed violently but didn't even think of using his powers instead he tried again. A taxi was bound to stop.

OOC: As much as I love sibling conversation, I am quite glad you decided to pop back in. lol
Logan sighed. "That's exactly my point. All you have is modeling. What happens if you can't do that anymore? I just want you to have a backup plan...unlike Dave here." He glared at his brother. "Couldn't have been a better example, could you?" They continued to walk until they could smell pizza from Alessandro's. "Look, I'm glad you want to help out, Dave, I really am." He snuck Dave an irritated look. "But, there are some things you need to do for yourself right now. Let me handle helping out you guys okay? Besides, if you want to help out, you should call Mom and Dad. Mom's been wondering why you haven't called lately...either of you."

OOC: Fine by me! lol
At the mention of her parents, Felicity immediately felt guilty. She usually was very good with calling and checking up on them. But this week had been so busy, there hadn't been a good time for it. Excuses. she told herself. "I know." Felicity said, crestfallen. "I'll call them tonight." she promised, mostly to herself. They were outside Alessandro's now. "And, I'll also think of a back up plan in case, somehow, my modeling falls through." Shaking her head as if exasperated, Felicity let herself into the pizza parlor.

Dave just grinned at Logan's comments about him. He got into Broadway, didn't he?
"Don't mind him, Lissy," he said, holding the door open for both of them--realizing a second too late that he had opened it telekinetically. "Logo's just jealous that he doesn't have the talent that you and me have. We were made to perform."

Jimm grunted as a cab finally pulled over but his relief was short lived as a normal New Yorker pushed past him and moved to get into the car. Black flickered around Jimm's eyes as he started to lose his patience but rather than kill the man he grabbed him by the cuff of his jacket and threw him back with as much muscle as he had. It wasn't much but it go the job down and when the man looked into Jimm's eyes something told him to back down and allowed the English man to enter th taxi.
It only took a few minutes to get to Allessandro's so Jimm hopped out after giving the cab driver a few bucks and walked into the place(after you guys) and looked around till he spotted his cousin by the front and sat down across from the man not saying a word or showing an emotion on his face.
"Hello cuz." Mark smiled happily but JImm just continued to stare.

"I noticed." Logan hissed out as he noticed how Dave opened the door. "Geez! You two need to be more careful." He sighed, glancing around, but no one seemed to notice. He ushered Fe inside. "I'll go order, while you two find a seat. What'd you guys want?" Logan asked, slightly seething still.
