It was just another one of those usual Sundays. Heiko sat with both his legs up on his desk leaning back in his chair pushing the limits the laws of physics would allow him with out falling over. He has his face buried in to a large computer networking book since he did not receive any invitations to go out yet. A lot of the books content he was already well familiar with but it wasn't going to hurt him to go over it again and what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than perusing your passion. However the actual ability of reviewing old content and its correlation to harm would be pushed when the young man's cell phone chimed. The small touchscreen telecommunications device was just out of his reach. Naturally Heiko leaned just a bit further on the back legs of the chair he was already pushing to limits of. Using the tips of his fingers he desperately slid the device closer to the palm of his hand so he could get a grip and see what the message was about."Annnd got yo- OH SHIT!"The laws of physics had enough of Hieko's games and the chair feel straight back on the floor the book slipping out of his hands and hitting him in the face with a muffled thud from carpet. To bad he would never learn from this mistake or any of the previous mistakes involving this chair. Groaning a bit he picked up the book from his face and placed it on the ground next to him and bringing the successfully acquired cellular device up to his face. Pressing the button on the side the display illuminated and prompted him with a number password to which he quickly entered. Navigating the menus Hieko brought him self to the list of received text messages. Vivian's conversation was darkened letting him know he had a message from her. Below her name was a slight preview of the message. Tapping the screen it brought him to their text message conversation and he continued reading the message where he left off in the preview. She wanted to have him come to Central Park with her.

Vivan was Heiko's childhood friend and the two were basically inseparable. In fact Heiko was fairly certain that if they dorms were not split by gender she would of been his roommate. He pretty much was the only one who was able keep her under control when she'd lose it. Not to mention he wouldn't let anyone get close to her for the fear of having her lose it again. He'd casually joke now and again that trying to hack a multi-encrypted network would be easier than learning how to calm her down.

Letting his rear end fall to the back of the chair Heiko moved his body back off the chair and back up to his feet. Picking up the chair, sliding it in to the desk, then doing the same with the book except placing it center on the desk he grabbed his hat and put it on. He wasn't going to turn down spending time with Vivian. As much as he was unaware of it he was just as dependent on her as she was on him.

Making his way to Central Park he started following the main path looking for his childhood friend. It wasn't like she'd be hard to find, in fact she was quite easy to find. All he had to look was for the bright green hair, which he noticed was sitting on a bench. Heiko approached from the rear and vaulted over the bench and took a seat with a swift motion. She had her head buried in to a book, psychology no doubt."Buried in to a book again." He said with a warm smile on his face looking over at his green haired friend."Whatca on this time?"

"Ah, just some anxiety and reactions to it. Heiko had nailed it pretty much square on the head what she was up to. Although, the topic was quite curious. Anxiety. She, above anyone else he knew, had more than a first hand knowledge in that particular subject. Given her emotional instability and all. Still, experiencing it and knowing it were pretty much always two different things. The first dozen times Heiko had to deal with Vivian's emotional instability was like playing Russian Roulette. It still was, he just happened to know where each bullet was and exactly how to spin the cylinder. Now that he was here she decided to close the book on her studies and get to hear feet. She stood in her raised position and looked over at the young man who just occupied the seat.

"Let's go.. I dunno.. do something?" If Heiko had a dollar every time he had heard that phrase he'd probably have enough to play in investments and pay off his tuition completely. It was probably one of her days where nothing was really keeping her attention at all and for her that was a very volatile combination. Heiko would normally sleep on days he felt like that, but Vivian was a different type of lass.

"Alright," he said shoving both his hands in to his pockets as he stood up. "Let's go find something." If there was never a broad enough statement ever said by a man. He pondered on something to do. Central Park was easily large enough that they could wander around for hours on end. Although they've done that time and time again so that option was only so good. Still he wasn't going to be caught not having an idea. So he started walking, following a random path while he pondered for an idea.

"So, anything new to share?" He asked making small talk as he debated on potentially getting something to eat on this particularly lazy Sunday. Heiko had next to no clue on psychology, sociology, and all those other fun mentally related studies but getting Vivian to talk about things generally was a good sign. He could comprehend things sure, didn't mean he always remembered them with out a little nudge. She probably explained the whole anxiety thing to him a few times now. She usually had something new to add though.

"Nothing really to be honest, things have been very average lately." She had them on that. Things have been entirely normal lately. No crazy things to get involved in, well for Heiko to get involved in. After all he was the whole vigilante type. Honestly things were kind of boring with out the occasionally need to use their powers, well for Heiko anyway. He enjoyed using his powers from time to time. Vivian didn't really share the same enthusiasm he did.

"And you?" She asked. Now this was surprising. It was really rare that she actually asked back what he had been up to lately. Normally it was just one sided conversation drifting until she felt like commenting. But it was like she had said. Things were surprisingly normal. "Eh... Things have been... Normal. Strange as that is to say. Haven't had to really use my powers out side the school too much. Been mostly messing around with computer networks but I really don't want to bore you with that." That was Heiko's answer. Since he had started going to school with other people who had powers he found him self using them less and less. Mostly because the schools ideals and the fact that he was surrounded by others who had them. He didn't want to be known for that what so ever. Hell he didn't want to be known for much aside from just being a person. Him and his powers are the only thing he was used to keeping locked up in a chest for the most part.

He brought his hand out of his pocket and held it up right about chest level and stared at it for a moment. His eyes quickly glanced around, central park typically was teeming with activity on Sunday which made his urge to manipulate a little bit of shadows feel oppressed. He could do it later in his room. Is what he told him self at least. Sliding his hand back in to his pocket he took out his right hand and adjusted his hat a bit. "Have you had anything to eat today?" He asked trying to keep the conversation going. He had a place in mind, a place that they actually haven't been to in a while.

Vivian sounded indifferent when she answered to his question. Granted it was her normal tone of voice but over the years Heiko learned to pick a lot of the smaller details with Vivian."In the mood for something in particular?" She asked as they started making their way towards the southern end of the park. Heiko  did have a place in mind but with how passive Vivian was on average he decided to withhold the fact that he had an idea already in place. So he just replied with a modest dismissive shrug. The second option Vivian presented was far more interesting."Or just the first place we see?" Heiko thought about it for a moment. It could be a lot of fun just to eat at the first reasonably priced restaurant they found. After all it was Manhattan after all. Sampling every meal at every restaurant, big or small, would take literal days. And a lot of money, which Heiko didn't have a whole lot on hand, at least what he allowed him self to spend anyway.

"If we do the second we could play a game and order for each other and see what we have to eat?" A game? Now that was more like it. Granted it wasn't really what one would call a game but it would prove to be far more interesting than ordering for one's self. Could be equally as disastrous but that was the whole fun in it.

Cracking a half smile across his lips Heiko answered back "Sure, lets do that." He disregarded going to that one restaurant for now. "How do you want to go about doing it? Jump on a bus or a subway and see where it takes us. Or should it be somewhere near here so we can come and eat here in the park?" They had the day off so they could afford the time no problem but he was comfortable with either option really.

"Let's go ahead and get on the subway" Heiko wasn't sure he heard that right and quickly turned his head in near shock towards Vivian. He knew his hearing didn't need to be questioned, even the noise of the city wasn't drowning it out that much, but she did just suggest the subway. She hated the subway system with passion. "Lets just go ahead and get off on... the fourth stop?" Keeping a confused eyebrow raise present Heiko gave the idea some though as he went through a mental list of the train routes and what was near by. He only about about a metaphorical two feet with that thought, so the idea was fair enough. Returning his contorted face back to its normal natural position he started steering towards the exit of the park. There were more than enough subway entrances around here so it wouldn't take them long from any exit.

"Sure let's go with that." Heiko smiled with his agreement to the rules of the game. However, he wanted to add one rule to it, even though he was pretty sure it was going to happen that way anyway. "We gotta order at separate times though. No sense in doing it with out the surprise right?" The hectic sounds of the city became clear as the two made their way to the exit of the park. Turning right and being mindful of how close he was to the street. He hated the city drivers. Honestly wasn't a inner city fan at all. He could deal with the suburbs just fine. City's not so much but he could get by, much as he didn't like it.

"Well, of course, I thought that was implied."

Rolling his eyes and holding both his hands up in defense Heiko said: "Hey just gotta say the loop hole. Can't have cheating going on." His eyes narrowed towards her with a all in good fun expression on his face while his hands lowered and ventured back in to his pockets. He gave the idea some thought for a moment. He really had the liberty to get just about anything. Vivian had no preference what so ever. It wasn't that she was that open minded she literally did not care but that is how she was. At least that is how she was now. This distant aloof attitude wasn't exactly how she always was. She used to be an entirely emotional girl and along with her powers she was very unstable. He almost wished that she was back to the way she was before. At least she was happy every now and again but that came at a constant price sometimes.

His mind quickly snapped back to their little game. He'd probably just pick a random number and roll with that. Guiding their walk to the to the staircase he led his fellow junior and friend up to the edge and waited for the train. He kept a close eye out on the girl next to him as they waited for the train. He was pretty much the only person who knew how to calm her down so he had to be vigilant at all times.

There was almost always something interesting to see in the New York City subway system. Some times it would be like today where a man would be playing something like a saxophone. Other times it would be a full ensemble. Naturally there was the parent and reluctant child combination.  The smooth jazz like sounds that emanated from the saxophone had bewildered the small girl and she went over to investigate. Her mother however was like just about everyone in the city living in the "New York Minute." sort of mentality. The mother's curious daughter did not take to this intrusion of her curiosity lightly as she resorted in to bawling her eyes out. The saxophone player continued on untroubled by the child's out burst eventually being drowned out by the sound of the subway train. Among the slowly increasing crowd and noise a small hand and eventually an arm. slipped between his body and his arm. The slim hand took a firm hold of his arm. Vivian wasn't going to let go and Heiko did not have any issue at all.

When the doors to the train opened and people started moving in the mass chaos that the public transportation was in New York, Vivian dragged Heiko through the crowd of people and in to the subway car. Successfully bringing both of them inside the pair were forced to stand among the mass packed crowd of people and there were some who could certainly use the concept of personal space and a shower. Grasping on to a rail above them to keep them supported when the train would eventually come to an abrupt spot he could feel Vivian's grip get tighter around his arm. While his face remained collected and observant as his more guardian like nature took over somewhere deep down far beyond the reaches of his normal scope of conscious emotion he was enjoying the grasp of his childhood friend. Could it be called love, more than certainly depending on how someone worded its definition. Heiko never noticed Vivian in an romantic way yet he enjoyed her presence much like lovers would, such a result of the two's time growing up in an age of scrutinized heroes. And the fear of losing her was near unbearable but, this feeling of dependency was locked deep away in the depths of his heart to the point Heiko was not even remotely aware of it. After all, what reasons did he have for giving life to that fear.

The first two stops did not yield much changed in to the population density of the train car the two occupied, but come stop three many stepped off. "One more left." He told Vivian. He wasn't sure if she was even aware what was going on. She hated the train with a passion to begin with but she had a thing for just observing. So god knew how much she had been paying attention lately.
