How not to make friends(Phoenix:Invite-only)

It was 11 o'clock on a Saturday in the big apple as a young man walked the streets of the city.The day was sunny and clear though the tempature of 57 degrees and the wind made it quite chilly.The streets weren't as crowded today as usual.Many of this part of the city's residents were on vacation during this time of the year.Residents were forced to clothe in extra layers but still got to enjoy the beauty of the sky on this day.
John Capore was out and about in the city.He had a meeting with Phoenix the leader of the group of superheroes he had joined known as the talons in about an hour.It was set to take place at a secluded location at the local park.A rather ideal location and one he knew of quite well from his days of journeying around the place and getting in trouble for his behavior.Thinking back he was quite the trouble maker at times.He had to be honest with himself and admitting to himself that he was kind of one still but at least it was for a purpose.
Before heading to the meeting place he was planning on going to a local store to buy a specific cd that he had wanted for many years.He had plenty of time after all so there was no point in not going.He walked into the store and was greeted by the cashier.It was not the same one he had gotten to know over the last couple years but he payed it no mind.He started searching through the cd section for the one he desired.It was the last copy in stock.Just as he reached for it he noticed another hand reaching for it as well.

Andrew was walking the streets waiting for his meeting later with Forcewave. It was set at the park. He wondered how to kill about an hour of time. Then he remembered he wanted a CD he kept meaning to get. He figured why not, and headed to the record store.

Once inside he noticed his friend and fellow class mate CJ was working behind the counter. "Hey man, how you been? Where might I find Zep's greatest hits?"
"Its just over in the back in the classic rock section"
"Sweet thanks man, by the way, will I see you at Ryan's party this saturday?"
"you better believe bro" CJ said

Andrew walked to the back of the store and spotted the Cd he wanted. "Sweet last copy" he said as he reached for it, and saw another young kid reaching for it. Quickly Andrew snagged it. "Sorry man, I was here first." was what he said and turned to walk away.

The other person had grabbed the cd at the exact moment he had and tried to pull it away causing john to be dragged forward and stumble a little but he did not lose his grip."Oh hell no I saw it first.you let go of it."He said in an annoyed way though he did not raise his voice at all.He was trying to not create a scene or cause trouble.
He continued to hold on to the cd as he stared at this person who had now become an opposition to him in an aggravated manner.He had no intention of leaving this store without the cd he had wanted for quite some time even if he had to fight for it.He had plenty of experience having to fight for things.His own life being one of them so he was prepared just in case such a thing came to pass though he hoped it did not have to.
This confrontation had caused the cashier to cashier to start asking what was going on as he made his way over to them.When he saw what was going on he told them both give him the cd as he grabbed hold of it saying he had a solution.John let go of the thing only to watch in utter astonishment as the cashier handed it over to the guy and then told him to just leave and not to cause any more trouble otherwise he would call the cops.John stormed out right after giving the guy a look of complete disgust.
Instead of walking away from the place he decided to wait outside for the guy to come out.He was not done with the guy just yet.The thought of stealing the thing crossed his mind but he knew he did not have it in him to do such a thing.Still a confrontation was something he now sought.And so he waited.

Once the kid let go of the CD Andrew chuckled a little. "Sorry man" he said once more. The cashier rang him up and handed him the bag. "Have a good one the worker said, and Andrew was off. He walked through the door and saw the kid who he had the confrontation with standing there and he didn't look to happy about it.

Andrew looked the kid up and down and put on his sunglasses. "Why are you looking at me like that, I got what you wanted and i'm sorry, but are you seriously going to cause this big of a scene over a CD?"


With that Andrew cracked his neck and waited for the kids response. Looking down at his watch realizing he was a bit short on time.

John was just about to retort in a very angry fashion when he noticed the time.Time was rather short for his meeting.He still had to find a place to change into costume before actually arriving too."You got lucky."Was all he said as he turned and hurried away still fuming slightly at this injustice that had occured.
John made his way to the park while still in his normal clothes.He had decided in sudden inspiration to change here rather than walk around in superhero clothing thereby attracting the attention of the citizens of this city.It was the most populated city in the world.He really did not feel like walking around in hero gear in here of all place.
John found a secure and secluded place in the park hidden amongst the trees and changed into his costume.Once he was finished he took a moment to try and relax himself from the anxiety he was experiencing resulting from the collective stress of this meeting, the recent incident at the cd store and various other things that were in his life as well as the difficult moments of his past.Moments he did not like to think about.These thoughts suddenly flooding his mind and filled him with doubt."Aye this is getting crazy."He said quietly to himself.
He attempted to put all these thoughts to the back of his mind as he made his way over to the meeting place.They did not all do so however as he reached the site of the soon to occur meeting with Phoenix.He was still stressed and upset when he saw him arrive."Hey."Was all he said impassively when he arrived and drew closer.

Andrew tried to put the altercation out of his mind. He didn't have time to waste, his meeting with Forcewave was soon. He looked down at his cell phone and saw he had about 20 minutes till the rendezvous. He looked around, and saw an ally way. "A bit cliche, but it's gunna have to do. At least it's not a telephone booth." Andrew laughed to himself.

Once in the ally, he looked around once more, then pulled his shirt over his head. Having just a tank top on, he opened up his backpack, and put on his signature red and black hoodie with a phoenix on the front, and The Talons logo on the back. After he took of his skinny jeans, and threw on his black tight cargos. Next, he replaced his vans with a pair of black and red combat boots. Last but not least, his mask. With that his change was complete and he put his civilian clothes in his bag. He placed the cd he got in the front pocket, but it didn't zip all the way. "Fuck it, don't got time for this." was all he said and he was off.

Phoenix arrived at the park with about 5 minutes to spare. He started walking up the trail, and saw Forcewace standing. "Hey" was all he had to say.
"What's up Force, why do you look so down?" and stuck out his hand, to shake his fellow Talons.

There they were.Standing in a secluded corner of the park for the meeting they had planned a few days beforehand.Both had managed to arrive a few minutes early.After Forcewave had said "hey" to phoenix when he drew near.Phoenix had just asked him why he looked down.It was not a question that he was interested in answering.He said nothing about that but instead decided to look around the area as he shook his hand.
After the handshake ended he waited a few seconds before saying anything to think quickly."So."He said before another quick pause before looking around again to make sure that the area was clear so that this conversation could continue."So tell me Phoenix.Why did you want to meet with me here and now?"He asked with complete curiousity.He honestly did not have a clue as to why the guy had wanted to meet with him.Even though he had spent the a bit of the last few days thinking and searching for a reason why he could not come up with anything at all.So all he could do was wait for an answer and so that is what he did.
