Owen walked around the streets nervously. He was no detective, so why was he even out here? It was a bad idea for a kid to be wandering around these parts, didn't matter if they were in high school. It was bad for anyone to be out here. Sure, he could be sitting in the bowling alley in his room like usual after school. Practicing trying to get his powers under control. Yet was it even worth it when he had a slim chance of finding his father? A slim chance was all there was but it was a chance.
Owen couldn't even remember what his father looked like. He was so young when his father left him in the care of Uncle Baxter and Aunt Mally. He rarely ever visited when Owen was a kid and then eventually stopped. Sure he was still sending money to Baxter to help raise him. But that was it. There was no way to trace the letters back to him. However, something was different with today's letter. His father had sent a picture with it. A picture of himself. A muscular man with tuxedo like outfit and black hat, dark tan skin from too much sun, brown eyes, and grey hair that was short.
Deciding to look around, Owen wasn't sure if the picture really was his father or not. He also didn't know why his father had even bothered to send the picture this time. Did something change? Owen had no idea that his father was a goon, a criminal, a henchman of a criminal. No one in his family knew this. Only his father knew.

Writing, writing, writing. That was all Alexis had done today. She needed some fresh air. But how much fresh air could you actually get in the city, she wondered. She decided to walk a route she had never been down before. Alas, it was a big city and you could never know what people you would run into. So many people doing their things, playing their little part in the great whole that was Gotham city.
She found herself wandering through the 'bad' parts of town, it was really quite exciting to walk through these streets, that may or may not have been arbitrarily name the 'bad' streets. Really, after all Alexis had been through it didn't really seem that bad. She had seen better, but she had also seen worse.
Across the street she saw a young man, who in her eyes, seemed kind of nervous, but what did she know? She contemplated just walking past him, but there was something interesting about this young man, something that caught her eye. Alexis sure hoped she wasn't becoming a 'cougar'.
She decided, as the brash and adventurous woman she was, to walk across the street to greet him. She approached him with a smile.
"Hi! You seem kind of lost?" she said.

"AH!!" Owen exclaimed with Alexis came over to him and spoke.
He was really more focused on where he was going, making sure that no one jumped at him from behind, and keeping an eye out for the man in the picture he was carrying. When he exclaimed, he jumped back and accidentally threw it into the air. Only to quickly realize this and grab it before it was blown away. He then returned his attention to Alexis. He honestly hadn't expected anyone to talk to him.
"Hi." Owen said a bit weak with a nervous smile. "Well...I....I wouldn't say lost."
More like looking for something you most likely won't find. Owen said in his head.

Alexis just stood there for a moment, baffled at the reaction she got from the young man who was now in front of her. She tried to catch the picture for him as it flew out of his hands, but he was too quick. Awkward.
"I'm sorry I startled you. That wasn't my intention. I just wanted to see if you were okay, or if I could help you with something, because frankly, you don't look as if you've had the best day, but what do I know?" rambled Alexis. She really wanted to help people, because maybe that would make her day just a little better. She was kind of selfish at that point, but she guessed everybody was.

"Well....have....have you seen this man?" Owen asked as he then held the picture up to Alexis so she could see it.
Owen waited a few moments before speaking. The whole time in the silence though, he wondered if she had or hadn't. If she had, then maybe his father was still nearby. If she hadn't then, he'd just have to keep looking. Not too hard of choice with those options.
"I..I think he's my father. Considering the picture came in with a letter from him.....I just assumed it is. If he's not my father, then...then maybe he knows where my father is." Owen explained after the silence.
