Alice sips her tea quietly, trying to think of what to say. Shrugging she answers "Like I told you before, I read a lot. Saw an article once that had a picture of a suit that looked like yours." Grinning, she adds, "Besides, I'm not most people."
She sips her tea again, not speaking again for a minute or two. "So is this like a quid-pro-quo thing? You ask me a question, I ask you one?" She looks around and leans towards him lowering her voice so people around them can't over-hear. "What did you mean you could outrun subways for fun? People can't run that fast. It makes no sense."

" I'm not like other people. I'm a meta like you." Jason smirkedas he kept his voice low, sipping his drink again. " Before my injury, I was part of a group that helped try to keep others of our kind in check. speed was part of my abilities, along the energy blasts I used in the alley."

Not being able to think of a good response, Alice replies "Oh." She sits in silence for a few minutes sipping her tea, waiting for Jason to ask a question. When he doesn't after a minute or two, Alice frowns in confusion. "What's a meta? Why do you keep calling me that?"

" It's short for metahuman." Jason explained politely. " and it sounds better than mutant of freak or any of those other names we get called. It just means you have some usual ability that make us different from normal people, like what sett that cop off in the alley when you got away from them. "

Alice nods "Oh, ok. I guess that's what I am." she mutters to herself quietly. She starts to speak a couple of times, but finds she can't think of any other questions to ask at that point. She goes to take a sip of her tea, but fiddles with the cup when she finds it's empty, as she listens in on the conversations going on around them.

Jason rolled his eyes up at her. " It's not that bad really. Most people don't even beleive we exist.
Behind him, a tall woman in a trenchcoat enters and goes to the counter, drawing Alice's attention.

Scowling at Jason's eye rolling, Alice shrugs. "I can understand that. I can hardly believe it myself." she replies, thinking 'and I am one'
Glancing over at the tall woman, she mutters "Anybody could be one, and you wouldn't know it. Even her."
