Tasean heard the detective call his name and answered him quickly.

"Yeah I'm here, in the back" the young social worker replied, getting up to meet Jorge at the door to his personal office.

When Tasean finally saw Jorge he grinned, very relief that Jorge was able to make it. His eyes widened however at the load that mutant detective was carrying. "Tell me you've got girl scout cookies stuff in the bottom of the box, and not a bunch of case files." Tasean said.

He knew that there were a number of missing mutant kids, but he didn't know how big this case actually was. If that case box was any indication whatsoever, Tasean hadn't even reached the tip of the iceberg with this problem.

He motioned for Jorge to come into the office, and he pushed some of the boxes of food to the side, to make room on his desk for the file cox.

Tasean smiled, happy that the detective was available, and thankful that he might be able to finally get some information. He leaned back in his chair, finally able to relax a little after all the hours or research and reaching dead ends.

"How about over here at the agency in two hours" Tasean asked. That would give him enough time to compile what little information he had been able to gather togeether. It would also allw him to think of exactly what to say to Jorge to convince the man to let Tasean help out.

"I'll order up some lunch for us, my treat. You like cantonese?"

Tasean sat in his office, leaning backing eyes starring at the ceiling, but his mind looking at something else. Every light within the agency was on, giving Tasean the ability to see everything on the agencies floor. Right now, his mind was viewing a small little spider that was building a web in a low corner of one of the agencies cubicles. When you could literally expand your consciousness through light, worlds opened up. Tasean thought to himself, that if things didn't work out with the Mutant Social Services agency, he might decide to join the CIA and become 00Mutant. For now though, it was time to get back to work.

With little effort, Tasean returned his mind to it's proper place, the brain trapped in the bone cage of his skull. The aurora borealis of colors that danced across his eyes whenever he used his mutant ability slowly faded as everything settled back to normal. Before his little mind skimming adventure Tasean had been researching the missing mutant children that Lumen had told him about days ago. At present he had hit a dead end. Being a social worker gave him some ins, but being a social worker in the private sector, and not working for the government barred him from a lot of information. Being a social worker who worked for mutants exclusively shut most of the rest of the doors that weren't already opened. Tasean had one last hope of getting some information, and also offering his own services, if they were so needed.

He leaned forward, and starting clicking on the keys and mouse of his computer. With the power of technology, every business card Tasean had ever received was easily accessible on the computer in a neat little file. Which was a miracle in and of itself, because Tasean was notorious for not keeping up with the small little paper cards. It became especially frustrating on those lonely nights when Tasean couldn't find the number of some any guy who had a more personal type of business in mind when he handed over his card.

In a few seconds the name and contact of who Tasean was looking for was on the computer screen, and with just another click, the office phone was dialing the number, and when someone picked up, Tasean clicked another button to answer the phone. The wonders of technology.

"Can I speak to Detective Jorge?" Tasean asked politely, not knowing if Jorge had a secretary or assistant answering his phone or not.

Tasean stood up as well, taking his cellphone out of pants pocket and checking the time. Lumen mentioning missing mutant kids had gotten his gears to turning, and he wanted to get to the agency office to check the system, see exactly what information was out there, and how he could help.

"Yes it was definitely nice to meet you as well Lumen" he said as he gave her yet another bow.

Tasean stood straight up again and started to dial some numbers, preparing to call the security of the building the agency was housed in, once he was a respectable distance from Lumen. He had been gone for a little while, and he had no idea what the state of affairs was in that office, and he wanted no surprises. "I will definitely give you a ring if I get any info that I think you might find interesting."

Tasean took Lumen's card and placed it on the inside of his coat pocket, before he grabbed one of his own business cards from his wallet. "I met a guy, Jorge, he's a police officer with the Mutant Division. I helped him out with a case a while back, so I'll see if he's heard anything. I'm just getting back to the city myself, so I haven't heard anything about missing mutant kids, but I'll definitely keep my ears open now." he told her as he handing over the business card.

The light riding mutant laughed as the platinum haired Lumen asked him about his mutation. "The way some of these city folks act, you'd think that class was a mutation, but no, that's just a good southern upbringing" he said. "No, my mutation, well it's kind of hard to explain, I'm no scientist so I don't know all the big words for it. Basically, it has something to do with my brain waves and light waves. Somehow I can sync up my brain waves with light waves to expand my sight." Tasean informed her, struggling to find the words to explain his mutation. "Not just my sight, like my mind really. It's like I can be sitting here, and I can see stuff, perfectly, that's far off. Not like having good eyesight, or looking through binoculars, but as if I'm right there. I actually see better that way, because it's just my mind and the light, no eyes to get in the way. Everything is brighter and more vivid. Anywhere there is enough light, I can send my mind, and get a clear image of whatever it is I'm looking at."

Tasean turned to look at Lumen, grinning sheepishly. "And I probably just confused you ten ways from Sunday huh?"

Tasean took the offered hand and shook it. "I moved here not too long after my parents died. Couldn't stay home with no one there but me. So now I'm here in the big City, going to school and running the Mutant Social Services Agency." he told Lumen.

He didn't know if she had even heard of the agency, or the riot that had happened at it's opening, but he wanted to at least let her know who he was. Some people had stopped associating with him when they found it he was a mutant, many more had stopped when he started the agency, and basically the rest disappeared after the riot. Right now Tasean had about as many friends as he had when he first moved here, and he hadn't talked to them since he had come back. Being social by nature, it was killing Tasean to be alone so often, but he wanted to make sure Lumen knew exactly who and what he was. If she decided to end the conversation and walk away, so be it.
