Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away [closed]
He's late.
Being in the employ of Shannon Vaughn means that being late is a bad thing and Eli knew that well, but living with his father and having to deal with him meant that sometimes he ran late because of a conversation had gone on too long or he needed to go run an errand for him. Normally, he could cheat by just teleporting to get there on time, but he still wasn't familiar with this part of town and he didn't want to be seen by anyone who didn't know about his powers. Plus, he had been ordered to go to an alley and teleporting in would just be a bad idea all around in that case.
So Eli had to run all the way from the apartment he shared with his father to the specific alley he had been told to go to, nearly getting turned around at a couple of points due to the mental map he had of the area not being fully complete yet. But he successfully got to the street the alley was connected to only a few minutes late, looking like he had run all the way from home. He took a moment to slow down his breathing and heart rate and did his best to make himself presentable. Once that was taken care of, he slipped down the alley and did his best to try and make sure Shannon didn't notice when he got to where he was dealing with whatever unfortunate person who had gotten on the wrong side of his boss.

It was a bit thrilling to think that he might get to walk around completely unrecognized. With no one the wiser, he could be one of the laymen. Someone who walked down the street and the world didn't care. When he was growing up or even in the current day, there was always some reason or another people would pay attention to him; his blindness, or his confidence or his cane. Unfortunate facts of life that were just the perfect thing to make people assume they knew him. Shannon did not want to disappear, did not want to lose anything about himself, but infiltrating the lazy world of ordinary people did appeal. A wolf in sheep's clothing sort of thing.
He opened his door partway, then tapped on the back of Eli's seat. He would go first and Shannon would follow suit once they were ready. "On your go."
