Coffee house confrontation....

Jason doesn’t want to go in. He can see Matt inside ordering something. He puts his hand on the door and takes a breath. It’s neutral territory, in public, so Matt can’t do anything...no yelling or flying fists this time. He pulls on the door.
Matt turns. Jesus, the eyes on him. Crystal blue.
Matt looks bigger; not really taller, but definitely more bulky. He is losing that teenager thinness. He looks older than Jason, yet by the numbers he is actually younger. He wears jeans and a nice tshirt, everything new and expensive. Gold hangs from his neck and ear; a symbol of some sort but I can’t tell what it is.
Matt nods in greeting and points to a table. Jason ignores him and defiantly goes to the counter to get his own coffee. Er, tea.
Matt doesn’t control him anymore, he is saying, and the gesture works. For a second, Matt narrows his eyes in anger. Already he has had a big enough taste of power that he is not used to being denied.
Matt goes to another table and sits. Jason takes his time.
Finally he joins him, but doesn’t waste any further time.
Jason – “What did you need?” He asks as he sits lightly on the chair, giving every characteristic of a man who only has a minute and is about to get up and leave.
Matt looks….hurt? – “I wanted to see you again, Jay. I wonder about you.” He's defensive.
Jason, tensing – “Don't bullshit. You let out a Call like the devil was after you. So don't sit there now and say," Jason screws up his face and repeats, mockingly, "I just wanted to see you..."
Matt goes to reply, his face controlled, but still angry. Jason raises his hand abruptly to silence him.
Jason - "Let me finish....cause if you don't need anything, then I'm outta here. Cause Matt.....now listen to this closely...I don't want to see you.” He clips each word, and pushes up from the table, grabbing his tea.
Matt - "No no no, really.....hang on then. Jason wait! You want to get to it....alright then."
Jason stops but doesn't really relax. He is mostly standing.
Matt, sighs - "I just thought we could, uh...start with pleasantries. Get to know what each other's been..." He could not resist trying again.
Jason stands, angrily - "'Bye Matt." He heads for the door, ignoring Matt's stammering behind him. I'm amazed; he is really showing Matt that he won't take his shit anymore.
Once outside though, his newfound courage falters. He takes a shaky breath.
Matt yells after him, and he startles, fearful now. He shouldn't have come outside; the public coffee shop offered him some protection, and he shouldn't have left. When Matt yells again, Jason stops. He is trying to stay noticable to the people inside who are sitting at the tables along the windows.
Matt, catches up and approaches Jason with open hands, his voice is quiet, pleading - "Jay, please. I just want to know one thing. If you can do one thing for me. Just one."
Jason shakes his head, but not like he is saying no. More like, he can't believe the great Matt is begging him for something. Humbling himself. Giving Jason power over him.
The pacifist in Jason can't take it; he doesn't want power over anybody, even someone who put him through the wringer like Matt did. He looks at the ground for a long time... and eventually responds exactly how Matt wanted him to.
Jason, quietly - "What?"
Matt stifles a smile in his hand, then spits out - "Teach me how to travel."
Jason sighs - "We've been over this. I can't teach you how I travel, I just do it, Matt. There is no method I'm hiding, no secret, there is nothing..."
Matt interupts - "No no, I know, I know, calm down. I meant, teach me how to travel like people are talking about now. I've heard it a few times now. Some new way. Do you know?"
Jason stands, a look of surprise on his face. It's apparent he knows exactly what Matt is talking about; he's just surprised Matt knows.
Jason, slowly - "You mean the Anikman way?"
Matt nods excitedly - "Yes yes....exactly. Can you show me?"
Jason shakes his head - "I don't know it."
Matt fixes him with an cold stare - "You don't? Ummm....but that's the way you do it, isn't it?" His voice is icy.
Jason quickly shakes his head again - "No it isn't. That's not how I do it."
Matt is gaining the upper hand, slowly taking back his power over Jason. He takes a small, easy step towards him. - "Don't lie to me. It makes sense. You travel undetected, this new way is supposed to be undetected. So don't lie to me about it Jay, I've figured it out. So...just show me how it's done, okay?" His tone is definitely threatening.
And, although obviously fearful, Jason doesn't back down. - "I'm not lying. I don't travel by Light, Matt. Anikmans do. And, let me point out to you since you obviously haven't figured this part out,....I'm not Anikman!"
Angrily, Jason turns and continues down the sidewalk, once again ignoring Matt's frustrated "Jay!".
But Jason is chuckling, and once he is about twenty yards away, he turns back. He is laughing now, and he yells at Matt, who is just standing there, shocked by Jason's laughter.
Jason - "Only an Anikman can show you how, you stupid fuck! And the funny thing is...you're supposed to be the son of....of one of the most powerful Anikmans there ever was!!! You shouldn't need to be shown!"
Matt turns and storms away, with Jason's laughter chasing him, up the sidewalk.
