A lone figure watched from a rooftop across the street as smoke seeped from a building in the back street of New York. She had been intrigued when she was passing by and heard a loud band and stopped to watch. Then the smoke filled the building and began to seep from under the doors and windows. The figure scratched the flees away from her scales and continued to watch, loosing interest, when a teenager jumped through a window in the front of the building coughing then picked themselves and ran down the street shaking their head at though to clear it "probable from smoke" the figure said to itself. Then a wall in the building exploded outward and a solitary figure wearing a mask and cloak emerged from the building. The teen whirled around very quickly for a normal human and pointed at the cloaked figure and shouted "Ruducto!" and the street in front of the cloaked figure exploded sending him flying backwards and out cold. The figure perked up at this display and watched the teen run down the street further still shaking his head and then turning down an alley. The figure of the roof smiled, showing off pointed, dagger teeth, and its eyes glinted in the glow of the solitary street lamp. It leapt on the edge of the building it was crouched on and vaulted across the narrow street onto a building on the opposite side.

The figure walked to the edge of building and looked down at the teen who was pulling a shard of glass out of their hand while shaking his head more frequently. The teen was a boy, dressed in black robes, and he looked immensely worried about something as he etched something in the back of his hand while shaking his head rapidity and more frequently. The figure was intrigued and confused by this behavior and decided to go down for a better look. So it concentrated on a new ability that she had recently mastered that came along with her curse of the scales and tail. Her outline blurred and she melted into the night, her camouflage, not making her invisible but making her very hard to see especially in the dark. She jumped down to the ground and landed almost silently in the dark alley, she looked out of the shadows at the teen who had stopped shaking his head and was looking at what he had carved into his skin with a lost and confused look, it was time to confront him she thought and stepped forward more and said in the hiss like voice "well, what kind of power do you have?"

~

Harry (he doesn't know what his name is but I'll call him this anyway) was confused by this question and asked back into the darkness "what do you mean? What power? Who are you anyway?"

A voice that bordered on a hiss answered much closer this time "you must of just changed, don't worry you will grow to like you mutation in time, as for who I am, I am like you."

Harry was starting to get confused and angry, what did the voice only talk in circles, what mutation was it talking about, how was this person he couldn't see like him his many question jostled in his blank mind before he asked "how are you like me?"

The voice chuckled slightly before answering from a closer distance "I am a mutant to, just like you are, but my appearance has changed with my mutation so I remain hidden, since if you saw me you would most likely run before I could explain things."

Harry was stunned by what the voice had called him, what was a mutant, was he like one, because he couldn't remember anything up till 30 seconds ago. So was the voice telling the truth he then asked, "well I wont run, you can show yourself and explain this mutant thing." Their was a pause when nothing was said but then Harry heard steps coming closer, it stopped as the steps came into the light and he saw the faint outline of a person but is was just a hazy outline. Then the person seemed to melt out of air and became solid and visible. It looked like a 5ft lizard taught to stand on two legs, but it was crossed with a teen girl, she had brown hair and yellow silted eyes shat reflected the streetlight. She had a long thick tail and t-rex feet; her ears were small and set far back on her head and she was covered in sandy brown scales from head to the tip of her tail. She looked apprehensively at him and looked ready to turn and run at a moments notice. But Harry felt no reason to run and asked "so how are you like me?"

The girl smiled widely showing off pointed dagger teeth and all traces of wanting to run vanished she said "well considering you just blew a hole in the street back their that would qualify you as a mutant, I didn't always look like this, I did look normal at one point though, but let me ask you something, how did you blow the street like that, was it mind powers or just a big gush of air?"

Harry was seriously confused, what hole in the street, he had never done anything unusual, but then he couldn't remember more than a minuet back when he saw an incomplete name on his hands and asked "what hole did I just blow in a street?"

She looked at Harry with a look as if he was joking but then said with a hit of annoyance in her voice "duh, you just blew the street away from under this guy who was chasing you, what are you stupid or something?"

"Well" Harry admitted "I don't think I'm stupid but I don't remember anything past about 1 min ago and I was looking at the back of my hand, then you showed up."

The girl looked very surprised then angry and growled out "those dam mutant hunters, thing were an under species or something, like we don't have right to!"

"Pardon", Harry asked rather confused "what about mutant hunters?"

The girl stopped looking like she was about to strangle something and answered in a voice barely above a hiss "I'm not sure what they are called, I just call them mutant hunters, they are a secret gov't branch, I don't the president knows about them, anyway, they capture mutants like animals and do experiments on them, you must of just escaped but they had already used a mind erasing drug, or something like that, on you so you'd be easer to capture again"

"You think that's what happened to me?" Harry asked starting to feel rather angry "you think that's why I can't remember a thing?"

"Yes" said the girl nodding "you must of escaped, but I wont let them get you again, mutants got to stick together, so you have a name?"

"Well" Harry said again "I don't remember that either but, wait---" he then put up his hand with the name written on it "their was a name on the back of my hand, maybe I left it to myself or something!"

"Yea" said the girl walking forward eagerly and grabbed his hand "you look smart enough, you probably let it to yourself, what dose it say" she squinted at it and said "well it looks like the word `Harry' but the Y isn't finished you must of forgotten your name before you finished, so let's start again, hello I am Maggie, and you are…?"

"Harry" said Harry shaking her hand and grinning "nice to meat you"

"And you as well" Maggie answer shaking his hand in return grinning just the same "come on I'll take you to my house."
