Incognito

Good Company

sacrilege by yeah yeah yeahs.

Fallen for a guy,

Fell down from the sky

Halo round his head

Feathers in our bed

In our bed, in our bed

Lights glow and shimmer all around me. I know there's a garden on the rooftop of Building two, but I hadn't connected the dots until right now. There's only one table, set up for two with even more candles surrounding it and the radio softly plays in the corner. It seems so magical, like I am Alice, stepping into Wonderland.

"I'm glad you could come," Someone says, but as I look around, they are nowhere to be found. That is, until I hear footsteps behind me. As I turn around, I find that in fact, it is not Josh. It's someone else, someone I have no clue who could be. I study the person in front of me, confused. The male is around six foot, has spiked hair and of course, an ominous set of clothing in shades of grey and black. "Lorena."

"How do you know my name?" I back up slowly, fearing that he might be someone not exactly of my interest. Which super is he? I can't see his mask and I haven't seen him at the League or anything. Maybe he's moved from another state. It's not just California who has supers, but he does look slightly familiar. So, I must know him. I might not be able to see his face or what he looks like exactly, but I've recognized him. Then something flashes through my mind.

"YOUNG HERO SAVES HOSTAGES"

"It's you." I whisper before he could even answer my first question. This is the guy who's the new talk of the town. Now, I look at him in a new light, he's a super but, he's a newbie. He's not here to hurt me either, I've already talked to him before.

"The name's Ditto Incognito." He beams, revealing a perfect set of teeth. His mask can only cover his face so much. His mask is of a black rabbit, a perfect metaphor for being incognito. The long ears slightly droop and reflects metallic-like in the light.

"That's a clever name," I regain my confidence, and slowly walk around him. At least he isn't wearing a cape, which reveals his toned body instead. "but that leads me to asking you exactly why you are here to meet me again. Lest you just wanted to introduce yourself to me properly, which I do respect."

He chuckles, his low laugh gives me goose bumps as it is unclear whether it is good or bad. It's also faintly familiar, but there's millions of people who have it. Pausing the world, I retain my five-seconds before they are up. I can't tell what his facial structure is like, his eyes are covered with by the shadows of the darkness. There's absolutely no way of knowing who he could be. He's definitely incognito, but what's ditto for? Normally, when someone names themselves, they use their abilities as an influence. So I can understand incognito, but I can't imagine what ditto would mean to him. When I think about it, Ryder's name is Fortitude for his amazing strength mentally and physically and Alex calls himself The Fade since all he can run at the speed of sound, essentially fading into the wind. So, where does Ditto Incognito leave me with?

"I'm here to give you some food for thought, actually... And introduce myself like you so cleverly pointed out." He says as soon as I continue time, making me smile. He then puts his hand on my back and takes me to the table, only a few yards away from where we've been. As we walk, I suck in the exhilarating fresh air that the wind provides and watch part of my hair fly along with it. It's interesting how normal this strange atmosphere can be. When we sit down, I simply scrutinize Ditto Incognito, or DI would be easier to call him. He just sits here and its plain awkward because I have no idea who he is, or what he wants, besides what he's already told me. He says he wants to give me food for thought but how? I'm not exactly going to be comfortable without knowing if this guy is a serial killer in disguise or not. Like who really knows?
