    Adrian nearly stumbled for a moment, tripped up on the blatant lack of self-awareness. Instead, he chuckled.
    The thought crossed his mind that it must be amazing, being able to completely overlook yourself. Frustrating, but amazing.

    Adrian slid into a booth and caught the eye of the waitress, a young woman who saw Adrian's smile and smiled back. The woman glanced at Moon, but saw her harness and Eric's sunglasses and rallied. She brought them both menus.

    "What can I get you boys to drink?"


    "I'll have a cup of coffee. Miss, does this place still have a phone I could use? My friend and I got, well, kind of stranded."

    Adrian laughed self-depricatingly.

    "Yeah, right by the wall, sugar."

    "Thank you very much."


    The woman turned to Eric. After a moment, she looked anxious.

    "Oh, I'm sorry. While I'm here, would you like me to read you the specials?"

    " Just some orange juice for me please."

    Eric watched Adrian go and then turned back to the waitress.

    " That would be very kind of you. Thanks."

    Adrian got up and used the phone as the waitress read to him from the menu. The specials were...Well, nothing special, though they apparently made their own cherry-pineapple upside-down cake. The rest was pretty much classic American diner fare.

    Adrian was talking on the phone -- Eric's hearing would probably let him hear most of Adrian's side of the conversation.

    "Hey, Uncle Joe. It's me." A pause. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Things got away from me a bit. I was meaning to call sooner. How is everything?"
    A longer pause. Adrian smiled comfortably.
    "Uh, well... About that, Uncle. Things...Got complicated. Can I work at the carnival again for a while? You're in the area, right? ...Well, it was a bit hard to place, but yes." Adrian paused, not listening, but out of trying to find words.

    "...And...Uncle? Do you have room for someone else? ... No, he's not a performer or anything. He's... He was living where I was. If you catch my meaning. ... It's a little silly, but... Um... I suppose I should say... His reasons for living there... Um. Aren't always as... Um... Harmless as mine."

    A small pause. Adrian's brow furrows.

    "I don't think it's safe to talk about him here. Call it my professional intuition... We're...Sort of in trouble, Uncle Joe."

    Adrian was not smiling anymore. His voice was low and almost frightened.

    "A lot of trouble. I... I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
    But... What else was I supposed to do? I had to do something..."


    Adrian's voice falters. A very, very long pause. At last, Adrian smiles weakly.

    "Thank you. We're at the Whistlestop Diner in Ambersville. Yeah, yeah, just down there...Thank you so much, Uncle. I promise I'll explain as much as I can."

    He hangs up the phone.

    Eric ordered something that he thought sounded good but you never know with diner food and then dismissed the waitress.

    He caught all of Adrian's conversation easily.

    At first he was fine.

    Then he began to grip the table so hard he white knuckled it.

    He expected that strange pain to come but it didn't.

    Closing his eyes tightly, he emptied all the thoughts that began to stir up. In the silence that greeted him, he could have sworn he heard something muttering in the back of his head.

    "Eric...if you let me out we can settle this, finally, I promise..."

    Eric shook his head back and forth.

    But that's crazy right?

    Someone had to have come in and sat in the booth behind him.

    Yeah...that had to be it.

    He opened his eyes...and tele-saw the booths around him. Nothing. No one in the booths around him.

    Perfect.

    Must be hearing things then...

    Adrian came and sat back down. He had his normal innocent smile and cheerful, noncommital tone.

    "Well, I've got at least our next step all squared away. Someone's coming to pick us up... It's OK if I explain to him about you, right? He knows about me."

    " That's good." Eric said absently, like his thoughts were elsewhere.

    " It's alright, though there's not much to say anyway."

    He paused. Waiting for that voice to emerge, but nothing happened.

    There was just silence.

    Disapointment flashed through him for a second before he turned his attention back to Adrian.

    "Not from your perspective, but you grew up surrounded by all of this stuff. Even I grew up understanding my own power... But he never knew any of it, until he met me. And then it's just me,"

    Adrian explained.

    "The carnival still has a side show, but... The people are straight human, all of them. Or fairly ordinary super-science accidents that ordinary people would know about. No mutants. No magic."

    He leaned back into the seat of the booth.

    " Seriously?" He paused, his fingers tapping on the table nervously.

    " That's gonna be quite the adjustment. I promise I'll try to make this work."

    Adrian smiled fondly.

    "It's not that uncommon. I went... Umm... Maybe 12 years without meeting anything institute-worthy other than myself. In fact... You and I are probably the only people in this diner, maybe even this town, who have -- or, at least, who have and know it."

    And Adrian had only 13 years of memories, give or take, to begin with, so that was a decent chunk of it.

    Eric straightened his shoulders.

    " That...is something else, Adrian." He felt Moon lay down at his feet.

    " I mean, I've read about these kinds of places in books but I was never allowed to visit any before. They were always described as uneventful or quaint if I remember correctly. "

    He paused and smirked.

    " 'Too dangerous' they always said."

    "Oh, you mean this town? Places like this are bread and butter."

    The reminder of the doctor's opinion sent a shiver up Adrian's spine, but he smiled on.

    "Ordinary little towns, born from the roads and railroads before them -- just a place for people to stop and rest, and the people who settled down to support that... Because they're on a travel line, it's easy for a carnival to stay a few days. Because there's nothing here, it's the talk of the town and everyone comes to see. Not big crowds, mind, but they keep things running between the big stops."

    " I guess so. " Eric said with a shrug.

    He leaned back and let his telekinetic vision run wild, feeling out every nook and cranny in the place.

    Eric's fingers twitched on the table top.

    " Is your uncle here yet? Settling down, being exposed like this is a little nerve wracking."

    Adrian chuckled.

    "He's not my uncle. I don't actually have an uncle...That I know of, anyway."

    Adrian got up from the table, leaving money for their bill there.

    "And I don't think he's here yet, but we should go wait outside."

    Eric just nodded, not even relaxing while they were outside.

    " I'll feel much better when we're out of the public eye."

    "...That probably won't be for a long time... I mean, we might have to bum it in someone else's trailer, at least for a while."

    As they talked, a blue truck drove up. In its seat was an athletic-looking older man, his reddish hair greying and slightly thin on the top. He had a goatee, still mostly red, and was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans.

    He parked the car and walked up, his arms out for a hug that Adrian accepted limply at first, then hesitantly returned.

    "Ah, Adrian!" He said as he pulled away, "And this is your friend, right? What's your name, kiddo?"

    He thrust out a hand and then, realizing that Eric couldn't see it (and unaware of what he could do), he just straight-up took Eric's hand in his and shook it.

    Eric jumped as their hands made contact. The blurred out faint telekinetic vision of the guy suddenly came in shockingly clear.

    Although the things around him became crystal clear on contact he was a bit of a touch me not. Always was.

    Even with all the doctors.

    He tried to stay level headed, to make lightbulbs burst or windows shatter or anything else of the sort and it paid off.

    The only sign of Eric's slight shock was that suddenly all of the gravel at their feet was blown further away into the parking lot.

    " Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Eric."

    Joe looked down when the gravel shifted. He did let go of Eric, so there's that. He looked down at the crater of slightly-lower gravel.

    "That your trick, kid?"

    Eric backed up a bit in silence.

    " Ish."

    He paused and said in a quiet shy filled voice.

    "It's so much stronger than that though...or at least that's what Adrian says."

    "Try 'that's what the doctors say.'" Adrian said, crossing his arms.

    "Hmm...Well, we'll see what we can put you to. What's your dog's name?" Joe crouched down and petted Moon, a smile on his face.

    " This is Moon. She's trained in all sorts of ways if that helps our case."

    Eric patted her on the head. moon's tongue fell out of her mouth as she she looked up at him happily.

    " But she's been my friend awhile now so that's what I see instead of the bomb squad esque, attack dog skills she has going on that got her to the job of being with me." Eric said with a small laugh.

    His words felt jumbled and messy since he had yet to shake off the nervousness.

    He fiddled with the edge of his t-shirt, wringing his hands back and forth.

    It's okay. It's all okay.

    His head jerked up. "BOMB SQUAD?!"

    "I said things 'weren't as harmless.' And that's...part of it. She's perfectly gentle with normal people."

    Even Adrian looked a little uncomfortable though -- he hadn't known Moon was trained to attack, and to be honest, he was not sure that was not a bad idea.

    "I think we can talk more in the car."

    "Alright, hop in." He opened a door for Eric.

    Eric inhaled sharply.

    He probably shouldn't have said that...

    Crap.

    Eric slid into the backseat, a wave of dizziness threatening to overtake him.

    He leaned his head on the arm rest.

    " I'm sorry. It's just the doctors had to take so many precautions so that I wouldn't hurt anyone." Eric said breathlessly.

    Sliding his eyes downward, he sighed heavily.

    Boy, this was heading into uncomfortable territory really quickly.

    The silence was award for a moment.

    "I'll...explain it later. I think if we both talked about it, we'd just end up with a really jumbled account," Adrian said, trying to sooth.

    "Actually, the Bomb Squad thing's a bit of an exaggeration. After all... Eric doesn't have any explosives a dog could deactivate. She's more like...An early alert. She'll fetch someone if Eric's having trouble and needs help."

    Adrian tried explaining, more true than false: after all, the skills of an actual bomb squad dog would be useless to Eric... But... She'd probably picked up the nickname.

    Eric nodded. " Y-y-yeah that's about right..."

    He didn't know he was wringing his hands so furiously til he heard Moon whine.

    " Can we not talk about-about this anymore?" He forced his hands to remain still at his sides. " Please?" He paused. " Wait. Adrian, you've always mentioned how you have no family so how is he your uncle?"

    "Well, it's a long story..."

    Adrian, too, squirmed in his seat. Joe used a hand to face-palm.

    "It aint that long a story, boy. ...Well, maybe it's a little long," he said, winding up. "Now, see, we travel about, by truck and trailer or by train, pretty much all over the place. We'll go for 5, 10 hours without some of us taking a break.

    So, about 13 years ago now, I'd been driving across...Maybe 3 or 4 states, for the better part of a day. My truck and Ryan's -- you'll like Ryan, he's quiet, quiet, gentle as a lamb. He does horse shows -- were the first to find our stop for the night. We're letting out Ryan's horses where they've set aside for 'em, and hidden in the hay..."


    Here, Adrian smiled, or maybe winced -- it was a difficult to read.

    Contrary to Adrian's squirming, Eric could feel himself relaxing and enjoying the turn in conversation. He never realized how comforting conversation could be without him being the main topic.

    Definitely something to keep in mind later.

    " Adrian, don't be like that. Besides it's only fair I get to learn more about you since you know so much about me already. "

    "This story's embarrassing. I was just a kid, and...Well. People worry when they hear this, but there's nothing they can do." Adrian shrugs, smiling as if asking forgiveness.

    "Well, it is damn mysterious, Adrian...Now, see, we'd had runaways in the past; every kid wants to run away and join the circus sometimes. So I wake him up, ask him the usual questions -- you know, who are you, where are you from, who's your folks, do you know your phone number...

    But the thing is, he doesn't know any of that. He just starts crying. No matter what I ask, he just cries and answers 'I don't know, I don't know.' "


    This seems to be what Adrian was saying about being embarrassing. Even now, he covered his face.

    "He couldn't even tell me his name. Well, I was at a loss. What do you do? Well, I couldn't just call him 'kid' until we figured out where to put him. Well, I'd had an uncle called Adrian, and it seemed like a good name, so it's what popped into my head. 'I'll call you Adrian, then, alright? At least until we get you sorted out.'

    And he stopped crying. And he looked at me for a long time, and without a smile, he said,
    'Adrian...Thank you. I'll be using that name for a long time.'


    And that was when I realized... This kid was creepy as hell."


    He laughed like it was a particularly funny and old joke. Adrian chuckled, as if he'd gotten used to appeasing him by laughing.

    Eric chuckled softly too, finding amusement as he imagined the story play out in his mind.

    "Was there ever a time when you were not an enigma Adrian?" He said with a laugh.

    "Maybe at some point... But that's a mystery to me."

    He shrugs. "Anyway, when I'm at ends, I usually end up finding my way back to his carnival... It's usually a bit less...messy."

    He admitted, folding his arms.

    " Hopefully it will work for us both this time around. " He glanced down for a bit.

    " I'm getting awfully tired running around the creation being chased with guns." Eric paused , falling into silence a few moments before going on.

    " What happens if we get caught, Adrian? I'm not ready to die yet." Eric winced quickly at the burning sensation that had cropped up in his eyes. in one quick gesture he took off his wraparounds and rubbed at his eyes.

    "But there's no way we can run forever...wouldn't it be nice though if we at the very least ran into a familar face?"

    He opened his eyes and looked over at Adrian. Through the back seats cushions he was getting an awfully picture image of his friend.

    His eyes flashed red before he spoke again. "Ah well, maybe that's just wishful thinking."

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Chaos though had no intention of coming out just yet. For so long he had been locked up in the box, a creation in Eric's mind to keep him completely concealed from the blind boy's mind. Eric could not feel him there nor sense it but he did hold the keys to it. That was the messed up part in all this. Chaos had no control when the box opened.

    Due to the stress of being on the road and chased by goons every day, Eric's hold had loosened just enough to crack open his prison a little each day..

    No room for escape however...but it did provide access for eavesdropping which was what he up to now.

    Eric, I don't care how many people I have to beat up in the future...I'm gonna protect you.

    I swear.
