Gabriel left the safe house he was working at and began walking down the street to head toward a local bar. He did not drink but he did need to seek out some information on the city he was in, so he could better understand it. The more he knew, the better he was at his job.
Bounding up the steps and into the small tavern he pushed opened the door, before looking around. Not too crowed, which was good. Easier to talk to people. Later he was sure it would be filled with rowdy locals, which was his queue to leave. Walking up to the bar, he paused beside a girl, and waited for the bar tender to finish his order so he could come take Gabriel's. Deciding the girl might be a good source of information, he tried to strike up a conversation, "Good evening," he said with a nod of his head, "how are you?"

Her voice was beautiful. It was enough to distract him from everything else, and make him unaware of everything--until he begin to notice that he was alone. With her. His eyes glanced away from her for a second, then returned, only to leave her again and stay away as he took in the empty club. It had his heart beat faster. Where did everyone go?
He could almost smell the alcohol and food in the room but he wasn't sure if this was left over from when they left or just his imagination. Talking a few steps from the bar he looked over a few tables, looking for a sign that someone had even been there.
Nothing. Turning back to the girl, he walked toward the stage, staring up at her in a confused wonder. With everyone gone it was as if she was singing for only him, and while he would be honored for such a gift, he was unsettled. The room had been filled with talk and laughter, and now there was only her and only her voice.

just tell him you're going and he will let you!
"They took my mother," Gabriel recalled how close Aurelia was to her mother, so he knew this was devastating for her. He also knew he had to act quickly before anything happened to the old woman. While she might not be a mutant, they might assume she was lying about things and try to either interrogate her or harm her anyway. Aurelia had pulled away but he kept one hand on her elbow to make sure she was steady, before letting her go.
"It has been hours and I don't know where to go to find her." Her mother was frail, so he knew she'd have to be taken from the camp, and that the camp would be somewhere outside of town. Gabriel looked at the his current partner (the woman who helped him with the kids here, a friend, nothing more) and he spoke to her, "I am going to go find her mother, and see if anyone else like use was taken. We are going to need and blankets in case I bring back more then one." Because it was not the first time they'd come across someone wanted to do test or to understand mutants by taking them apart. "One for her as well, please." Because he wasn't taking Aurelia with him.
Then he looked at Aurelia. "I will find your mother, and make sure she is returned to you as safely as I can. Tell me where the camp is at." He asked, knowing he had to start there and he needed to be quick. With luck he could get there quickly.

Times were hard, and only looking harder. The children were learning what they were, and having no safe place to turn to where hitting the streets. Gabriel did not wish to be responsible for so many but until a place could be found then he and a few others were helping make sure the teenagers had food, and a warm place to keep their heads low. He was talking to a small group of boys, enjoying some down time when he heard the voice ask, "Please! I need help. I need to know if there is someone here who can help me."
Turning to look he recognized her. "Aurelia," He said softly, surprised at seeing her. Pleased too if he was honest, but not at her words, only at the sight of her; her words made his guard go up. Pushing from the ground Gabriel walked up behind her and touched her arm right as the woman was trying to calm Aurelia. "Aurelia?" Once she could see it was him, he pulled her gentle toward himself and wrapped his arms around her. They had been friends once, so he hoped she'd take this comfort from him. "You're safe now." He told her in a calm soothing voice while trying to figure out if someone was after her? He looked over her head but so no one. "I will help you."

"Have you seen her?" He asked the bartender, who looked at the photo again before shaking his head. "What of him?" Gabriel slid that photo closer to him, "I just want to make sure the girl is alright." Apparently he sounded honest (which was good because he was), because the bartender changed his story. Claimed they might have been in here last night but the girl looked happy. Normal.
Gabriel was explaining the the mother was worried, and asking if the man keep an eye out for them; and that if the girl didn't seem safe to call him. It was just as this conversation ended that he heard a voice, and turned to to the stage. The girl was pretty, but not quite his type. He liked them more natural, with less makeup. Still there was something about her that made him pause.
It was her voice. The sound of which was unlike anything he'd heard before. He didn't even look away to ask her name. He only wanted to hear her sing.

Gabriel walked up the steps of the club, and took a look around at the who 'greeted' people at the door, and turned to walk down the steps. It was understandable why they had men at the door; too keep the unwanted out. If you were going to build a restaurant or blub based on the appearance of finery then having people not dressed up coming in could ruin the imagine. He understood--but right now he needed to be in there.
Dressed in something akin to nice clothes, he walked along the side of the building to ward an window. Looking around, and seeing no one, he broke apart and rebuilt himself in the dark room. Some sort of storage room. Making his way toward the music, he entered the room and looked around, reaching up to pat his inside jacket pocket to make sure that he had both photos ready to go when asking around.
He was looking for a girl--a specific girl, he didn't just wake up with a craving. She might be forced into staying with an abusive husband, and his job was to find out if she was save and if not help her get to her family.

He can do this with himself an a limited few others at the same time (thus traveling a larger distance) OR he can 'break up' someone and 'rebuild' them someplace else (this is limited by a few feet because he has to be be there to rebuild them. He can also use this energy to form a shield to block attacks, but as this energy comes from him, he cannot hold it for long points of times (Under a minute) and he can shield others away from himself, but not at the same time (and this uses their energy, so can weaken them). He cannot 'break' (himself or others) while holding the shield. His 'breaking' or teleporting is not completely instant, as it can take him a few seconds to break himself, and longer to do a group. He is not limited to having to 'see' where he is going to get their, however he is limited by obstacles like water, lead, and distance (such as a few miles).
