It was 10 P.M. and most of the shops on the block were closing up, one by one lights started to turn off in them. “Thank you, and have a good night!”Tegan said to the last customer as they walked out of the door, coffee in hand. Tegan started cleaning up the first table in the coffee shop. She looked up at her young college worker washing tables on the other side of the shop. “You can go Lesli.”She smiled at one of her young college workers, “I called a cab for you already, and here is some fare money. It is a Friday night, you should be out with your friends.” She handed the college girl a 50 dollar bill. The college girl lit up with excitement and happily left.
Tegan sighed sitting down as she looked at the rainy streets of New York City. The sound of the rain pattering on the window calmed Tegan. Umbrellas where popped up all over the place, with the glow of some cell phones showing a path of where people are walking to. The thunder roared as Tegan tucked her long blonde hair behind her ears as she stood up and closed to the blinds to the shop. She turned around and looked around her coffee shop, looking at all cleaning that needs to be done. “I think a little help is needed to clean this place up.” She said smiling as she changed to sign on the door to “Closed” and dimming the lights.
Soon enough six other clones of Tegan appeared and started to clean up. One of the clones mopped the floor, and two of them dusted. The other three washed dishes and cleaned up the bar area. All of which looked exactly like Tegan, wearing the same heals, jeans, and top. Everything was the same; they were just human sized puppets. Tegan sat down at the bar and watched “herself” clean. Each one doing what she told them to do, and how she wanted them to do it, life was getting pretty easy.
Tegan sipped on a Café Mocha as she grabbed her personal tip jar and started to count the money. She sifted through the dollar bills and mouthed the amount as she counted “200 dollars tonight girls!” she said out loud to the clones who just kept cleaning, “Not bad for a Friday, not like you guys care though..”she murmured as she set the money in her new Coach wallet. Even though they’re six “people” around her, she was still alone. As the clones continued to clean Tegan turned on the TV and watched the news. As always there is something about mutants tonight, the headlines read, “Peace between humans and mutant? Politicians say it is possible.” Tegan just rolled her eyes as she watched the congressmen come on the TV and talk about possible peace. She didn’t believe peace was possible, not after what she heard her parents say when she was a kid. Tegan loves her parents dearly, she couldn’t have asked for better parents, which is why she keeps her gift a secret. ((OOC: To view the coffee shop click here and here)) |

Cable had spent weeks tracking this mutant down she had been hard to find. Till black box found her tax records. Granted he could of looked for her mind and that would of done it but some times it was nice to do things the normal way. he watched from one of the roof as the shop closed. he smiled activaed his body slide technique and vanished reappearing on a seat just behind her. Cable had always had a flayer for the dramatic and enjoyed this sort of thing. some people had just said he liked to show off.
"Yes it is possible it will just take some time." it was true in his time no one cared about that sort of thing. you were in one of two groups us or them. it was fight or die and he had fought and killed and he knew he would have to do it again and again. there were people in this world who needed to be removed so things could change Apocalypse was one of them.

Tegan let out a loud scream as the man talked, knocking over her coffee drink as she screamed. She quickly put her hands over her mouth to muffle herself, and picked up the coffee mug. Tegan looked at the man in amazement, “You didn’t come through the door did you..”Tegan said pointing to the door, “Because I didn’t see you come through the door.” Tegan grabbed a wet wash cloth and started to clean up the spilt coffee. She could feel herself getting nervous, she had only seen other mutants on the T.V. before.
“I wonder what he is doing here.”Tegan thought as she finished cleaning up the coffee and walked around to the other side of the bar, throwing the damped cloth into the sink. She grabbed the coffee cup from the bar and started to wash it, “I am sorry but we are closed for the night Sir, I turned off all the machines.” She finished washing the coffee cup, and dried it quickly. “He doesn’t know I am a mutant, does he?”She thought putting the cup away, “No, he couldn’t I have hid it from everyone.”
Tegan eyed the man up and down, thinking of possibilities of why he was here. If he was trying to rob her then he would have done it by now. “So..so, how can I help you.”Tegan said leaning against the bar. |

"no i am not here for coffee at all Tegan and yes you did hide it from every one well almost every one. Do you really think that you would never meet another mutant. My name is Cable and like you i am a mutant." his eye glowed bright as he sat in the chair. "don't worry if i wanted to hurt you in any way you would be living in the floor dead. Don't bother making copy's of your self it will turn out very messy for you."
cable slowly stood up the metal on his arm glinted in the light. " How would you like to save the world?" It was a simple question and he wanted to see how she would react to his question would she be right for what he was planing. If not he would fog her off to Xavier's school.

“Well, you must have the wrong lady Cable.” Tegan glared at him, “ I am not a mutant.” She tucked her long blonde hair behind her ears and took a deep breath in. “And how do you know my name?” Tegan looked at the man, she didn’t feel quite right. Tegan looked around the room, no way to get out. “I wonder what he means, messy.”Tegan though sitting on a bar stool and started to play with the ring on her finger. “What would be so messy about me making copies of myself, no Tegan you’re normal. You are not a mutant.”She thought to herself again.
“Well Sir, who wouldn’t like to save the world, if that is even possible.” She laughed a little bit, looking at Cable’s arm. “What kind of question is that..”Tegan said to herelf. “God, this guy is huge.”She thought staring at his arm. “If you would kindly leave Sir, before I call the police.” Tegan said to Cable in a snotty tone. |

" so you don't have the ability to split in to puppets of your self." he laughed as he heard her threaten to call the cops. " go a head i don't care. Not like they will do anything when they get here. I can read your thoughts by the way, your not alone with having powers. He gestured and the tables and chairs started to move and stack them self up. "see you are not alone like you i am a mutant so why don't we stop playing this game. Your more welcome to create your clones and attack me but they will die." he sat down on thin air and waited for her to talk as the place cleaned its self up,

Tegan’s eyes got huge as he did this, she has only seen mutants this powerful on the T.V., she sighed and gave in. “If I did make clones of myself, and you just killed them then I could just make more you know.” Tegan snapped at him. “I have taught myself everything I know, and I am learning more each day.” Tegan pulled out a mirror from her purse, and put on red lipstick. Putting the mirror away she looked at Cable, “So Cable, tell me why you are here. I would introduce myself, but it seems you already know my name.”
“Your power really is remarkable.”Tegan said making three clones of herself, and they started to clean. “I am guessing you come from a group of sorts? Why else would you just show yourself to me, unless you knew I was a mutant?” After the puppets finished cleaning then disappeared into thin air. The rain continued to pour outside, thunder and lightning going off every once in a while. Tegan looked back at Cable, then to the liquor sitting on the counter. “ I think I need a drink.”Tegan said grabbing a bottle of wine, “would you like any?” |

"yes i do i also know your tax code date of birth and every thing else there is to know about you. I want you to come and work for my X force. And no i would not kill your clones i would just shut your brain down and put you in to a coma." he floated there and looked around. "no i am not a wine person. I am putting a team together we are going to change the world. we are going to clear the problems do the things that can not be done threw political challenge."
This was going to be the point were he knew if she was right for what he wanted or not. "it pays ten times more than your pay is now!" most of the people who worked with him were driven by cash.

Tegan just laughed at his comment," Cable, money isn't a problem in my life." She just rolled her eyes at him,"My parents are CEO's of one the most popular coffee bars in New York City. I will never run low on money." She smiled and sipped her wine,"Ah, aged from the 1920's..I just love my pinot grigio." Tegan looked at him," My problem is however, being open about what..I mean who I am. My whole life I have hid who I am from everyone, and I don’t think I should feel like I have to.” She sighed as she remembered a night from her past. “ One night when I was seventeen I was closing up this store, and as I did I was attacked.” She smiled as she remembers what he said,” Well I guess you know the rest of the story, since you know everything about me. Huh?”
She took a deep breath and took a big drink of her wine, "As far as I know, you and I are the only people in this world that know I am a mutant." Tegan ran her finger around the ring of her cup, smiling a bit. "I really don’t know how well I would do Cable, I mean I am all for what you guys are fighting for.” Tegan said before pausing to take another sip. “I am just so weak.” She laughed a bit. “ I literally can barely lift half my body weight, let alone punch someone.” She sighed looking up to the ceiling, then looking back at him taking the last sip of wine from her glass.
Tegan set the glass down on the bar, and a clone appeared and took the glass and started to clean it. “I really don’t know how I would be of any help to you guys.” She examined her clone, trying to phase into the clone and see what the clone see’s. It wasn’t working though.

"your weak because you are on your own." he pulled a card out of his pocket and let it float to the woman. "Tell Charles Cable sent you and which the way his lip twitches when you say my name." he laughed as he spoke. "they can help you more than i can. It's a school for people like us they can teach you every thing you need to know and more. You don't have to hide unless you want to."
He felt sorry for the mutants of this time they had so much to deal with and hopfully it would end soon and they could be apart of this world. he looked in to the womans mind and wondered if she would work for what he had planed and the more he looked the less he thought so.

“I am not weak because I am on my own; I am stronger because of it. I really don’t depend on anyone but myself.” Tegan grabbed the card and set it on the bar, “I am not interested in going to a school, I am 21 years old. I don’t need to be around a ton of little teenagers. Did you go to this school?” Tegan just slid the card next to Cable. “I have gotten this far on my own, and I plan on going further.” After the clone finished washing the wine glass, it disappeared. She looked out the window as the rain was starting to let up. “Who knows maybe someday you will see me in the news?”
“If this Charles guys could have helped me, why didn’t he come instead of you. Why did you come here?” she said looking down at her fingers and picking off the red finger nail polish on it.

" I was born there. Do you really think you are that important out of the thousands of us that are on this earth that he would drop all he had to do. Look i offering you a chance to have some help with the parts of your power you cant use yet. then again if you want to play spoiled little brat go ahead go for it when thing turn south for us. Lets see how you handle being alone.
I will tell you this your parents will find out in time not many of us hide it for ever. Not every one is as nice as me. some of them will force you in to working with them some may even try and blackmail you." cable unfolded his legs and stood up.
