    "Who said anything about violence, I'm annoyed, not stupid. I'm just saying I might as well just show them and save myself some time" Ryan replied just before a woman took the podium. After she was done talking all the students were taken outside and the instructed on how the testing would be concluded. Ryan figured when it came time to swallow the pill he would just prove to them exactly what they wanted to see and then go back to class. His birthday was November 17th so he made his way to the 3rd room and waited his turn.

    Lilith just listen to the group for a while until Djhango introduced his cousin to everyone. She was not sure she liked her knowing she was a mutant but Djhango said she knew everything already so there was not much she could do. "Hi." Lilith spoke in a small voice, not even sure the girl heard her, Lilith looked at the unknown lady walking to the podium. As the minutes went by while the lady spoke Lilith starting to feel sick to her stomach as it was getting closer to her getting found out. When she was finished the students started walking out of the auditorium to the trucks waiting outside. Once outside Lilith got a good look at the men beside the truck, not a hundred percent sure, but they looked like the men they were fighting last night. She hoped this was not true because if it was what if they could some how recognized them. Lilith tried to stay right beside Ryan and Djhango but Ryan was headed to room three and she had to go in room one. She looked at Ryan sadly as she walked away toward room number one.

    Djhango turned his head to look at the woman approaching the podium. She soon made the announcement of how the scanning would work. He sighed as it seemed there was going to be no real way out of this. Stepping outside with his classmates, he felt a strong sense of deja vu. There was security outside that was more than likely from the same security group organization from last night. Even the trucks were almost the same. Although he was more than positive they...took out every single man standing, he couldn't help but feel a bit concerned. Crossing his arms, he looked down at Lilith. The expression on her face was probably connected to the same thoughts Djhango himself was having. Before he could try to reassure her, one of the security guards spoke out and gave the instructions on where each was to go. Djhango was born December 4th, so he would be going to room 3. Ridelle began to walk ahead of him, into room 2. She turned her head to look back at him without being noticed and mouthed something before turning foward. He squinted his eyes and tried to copy her mouth movement. "Did she just say "Go Die"? He thought. Baffled, he walked into room 3 alongside Ryan.

    Just before Ryan stepped in with Djhango he noticed the sad expression on Lilith's face, wishing he could do something to help, but knowing he had to continue into the room; he sulked forward to undergo the screening. As they entered the third room Ryan turned to Djhango. "So, what do you think they play on doing once they know about each of us?" Ryan asked with only the worst in mind...segregation or possibly some covered up extermination were the two most "unfavorable" outcomes. ~Hopefully they will allow us to just attend class regularly despite knowing, but if it's violent actions they wish to take, violent action is what they will receive in turn!~ Ryan thought as he continued to move through the everlasting line of students. Eventually Ryan found himself as the next in line...he promptly walked up to the woman with the pills and a clipboard. Ryan outstretched his right hand and created a rose, void of thorns, from ice. It looked as if someone had taken a flower and froze it because of how accurate he was at sculpting with his powers. He handed the rose to the woman and spoke "Do I still have to swallow that pill or do you have the information you need. Ryan Andrews...18 years of age and a senior...that should be all you need to document me right? I assume the school wants to record who has the mutant gene as a means of monitoring, you wouldn't be doing anything harmful or drastic with this much public activity, that would be stupid..." Ryan said, hoping his assumptions to be true. However, if they did intend on acting violently...he would make sure things didn't go as smooth as they hoped.

    Arrow was destined for room 1 since her birthday was in April. She, however, stayed in room 4… the auditorium. Students began filtering out en mass. She was going to remain. Her strategy was simple, demand that they need parental approval for medical procedures for minors, insist that the last time she made the decision on her own, she got in such a huge amount of trouble (which is technically true) that she was grounded for a month. Then hope for expulsion… oh yah, not much to do about that. Her parents were likely to give approval, unless she could convince them otherwise (yah right.) At which point she would not be hung over a barrel and could run, she could escape, she could… make up some phony religious practice that left her exempt from experimental drugs… she could develop some sort of medical condition that was going to interfere with results.

    The laws were frameworks right now, some ranging from voluntary screening to forced or covert sneakiness. However, behind laws were people, and people could be manipulated.

    She, however, was no poster child. She didn't want to be a hundred miles close to whoever it was who was going to be speaking out, it was a great way to be labeled and scrutinized… she already had that problem, she didn't need military or government officials, talk show hosts, and lawyers, politicians, and gossips doing the same to her. Still, she wasn't about to just comply so she found the cluster of delinquents who were already mustering in protest… they allways mustered in protest. In the spring they protested the brand of energy drinks the school was selling in their vending machines. Yah, there was like ten, and most of them were rather violent and bully-ish sorts with drug problems, but she… kinda fit.

    "I'm not doin that," She mumbled to the other angry looking sorts lurking off to the side, and slouched against the wall with the cluster of druggies surrounding her looking suspicious and guilty and angry, though this opportunity was not a special occasion to look like this.

    "I know, who gave them the right," a pierced and chained seductress complained who overheard. Arrow was pretty sure she was currently high and more afraid of being caught for that than maybe being identified as a mutant and locked away to be experimented on by scientists.

    It seemed like she was next, they did not let people bring in personal belongings, but she only needed to have a tiny piece of paper just big enough to wrap around the pill. She had it in her long sleeved shirt waiting on them to hand her the pill. Once she had it Lilith cupped her hand lifted it up to her mouth quickly making the paper wrap around the pill. She hardened the paper while swallowing she was so focused on keeping the paper hard that she almost did not hear the man ask her to open her mouth. She let him look making sure she had swallowed he just nodded to her before turning away. She was thinking of the others wondering what happing to them, but this made her almost lose focuses so she cleared her mind of everything except keeping the paper hard. So far her body liquids were not getting to the pill letting it dissolve into her body but she did not know how long she could keep this up. Lilith hoped this would be over soon and that this would work.

    "Your guess is as good as mine Ryan." Djhango responded, crossing his arms. It was a good question to ask. A repeated question though, one thought about many times himself and those who were caught. Djhango's mutant ability could be hid perfectly, and not-so perfectly at the same time. He wondered how many other people his age had an ability like his; a transformation. But it wasn't time to think on it now. It was a time to figure out how to get the hell out of taking the test. Maybe someone would start a riot or something, and it would be the perfect chance to escape. It was a selfish thought to think, but he would be able to get out easily. Just pretend like you're a giant teddy bear against violence and flee. Yeah, that could work. That would work. That should work.
    .....
    And, he might get his wish alright. At least part of it. Standing behind Ryan in line and thanks to his taller than tall height, he was able to view the beautiful yet dangerous flower Ryan created for the lady. Beautiful because well, it actually was very artistic and pretty. Dangerous because he just gave away his status as a mutant. After seeing what he could do from the night before, Djhango knew for sure how much of a threat he could be alone. If someone powerful is seen standing up for themself, others who share that belief may be riled up to do the same. "God, help us..." He thought to himself.

    One by one each student began to go into the room. Soon after they would leave out the other door and give a mix of responses to the lines inquiries. Most just shrugged and didn't really say much. Though the time in the room couldn't have been more than a few minutes, it didn't seem like the trips inside were even taking the same amount of time. As the group continued it quickly started to become the group members term. With only a few people in front the group of students had started to think that the whole thing was pointless. After all if something really were going on wouldn't it be pretty obvious. A few students started to talk about how all mutants were pretty obvious with claws or gills. A few more joined in and started to talk about some of the ones who looked just like a regular person and then got some nasty looks.

    "Next." The woman shouted from the room and as the student walked forward he couldn't stop himself. "O god everyone run!" He shouted as his body seemed to quickly get larger. Not only did it get larger it also seemed to be getting harder as well as hotter. Soon enough his body seemed to crack and crumble slightly as he bent down. "I can't control it!" The boy shouted and in response several security guards pulled out a pistol and fired at the boy. Their pistols made a quiet phhht! sound as they fired a single tranquilizer dart. The darts broke as they struck the boy and made a sound of striking rock. As the boy started to get bigger the area around him began to quickly melt as the temperature around him rapidly increased.

    Soon enough if you were within ten feet of the boy the temperature was nearly enough to burn you instantly. The crowd of students started to scream and quickly began to run away. More security had started to show up, but none of them fired due to the woman's orders. She seemed more level headed than the gun tooters as well as understanding to the situation. "We need to calm him down!" She shouted and soon enough got the group of armed security to back away and lower their weapons. All the same several groups were on edge and the school seemed to have already begun to panic. Now the boy seemed completely changed.

    Hearing the screams grabbed Djhango's attention away from Ryan and the woman. He turned around noticed a boy pleading for everyone to back away from him. His physical form began to change, and the area slowly began to heat up. Djhango began to back away, still staying in the area but no where near the boy. "This could be the perfect chance to escape..." He thought to himself. He was about to turn around when he heard something. Singing? Someone was singing. No words specifically but a harmonious voice coming from one of the makeshift rooms. If the boy didn't look disoriented before, he did now. Seemingly being affected. Djhango wasn't sure if the boy was hopefully calming down, but whatever the voice was, he hoped it was working. Otherwise, there was going to be problems if he didn't leave.

    The swarm of black clad attitude was approached by school administrators as well as security. The delinquents put on their brave defiant faces but most slinked away hoping nobody had noticed them leave. The guards were civil enough but it was clear what they were an authority here and would do their jobs even if it meant putting a squirrely wimp in his place.

    "Hadn't you better get to your lines?" it was not a question even if a squiggly thing was tagged above the period. It was an order, that simple. Some tried to make excuses of ignorance or innocence. Arrow did neither, she just flat out lied.

    "My parents are highly religious and very concerned about any sort of drugs or medical procedures that enter my body. I can't do anything of the sort without parental consent," Arrow insisted. She puffed up her chest and lofted her nose in the air in finality. "Unless you want charges filed against you, you are just going to have to wait."

    "Ms. Let me explain something to you. I might have a lawsuit in my lap tomorrow, or I might be dead from some unleashed mutation, and you might be expelled… but one way or another you are taking that test, and you are taking that test right now. Is that understood?" Arrow looked into the eyes, and couldn't help but choke back an acidic frog trying to crawl its way up her throat. A hand firmly, but gently landed on her shoulder and she was pressed forward toward a line. After being cowed, she was brought to room one, and even got cuts. Two security guards made sure of it. She was checked in… and into the room she was escorted by the same two security guards.

    Arrow underwent the procedure, no help for it. What was she to do, fight and make a scene? Hurt people? Get shot to pieces while she was outnumbered, outgunned, and show up as the badguy? No, she could play innocent or ignorant if she complied... at this point. Afterword she could make as much of a stink and perform damage control, but right now she was left with only two options, hurt people or hope she wasn't going to be poisoned. The room was small enough with medical supplies and neatly kept. There were two doctors in the room, one male, one female. She was handed the pill. She hesitated.

    "Use just your fingers please." The woman requested. They were watching closely for any funny business, watching probably for Arrow's exact tricks. She delayed a moment.

    Oh PLEASE don't be poison.

    Arrow swallowed hard, and the pill slipped down her esophagus and into her stomach. They checked her mouth carefully before security and the male doctor departed.

    She was weighed and blood pressure taken, flashlight in the eyes and a probe into the ear, blood drawn. Arrow wasn't about to put up with bits of her being taken away, but then again it had already happened a few times... just not for THIS sort of examination.

    Do you have a history of diabetes? Is there a history of heart disease in your family. Other flotsam medical questions asked. Yes, no, I think so... the answers were not really of any relevance. Arrow was careful examining everything nearby trying to ascertain if she was going to be split open or tricked or anything. The chamber was sterile enough, but had seen its use. It wasn't any squeaky clean facility to deal with bodily fluids oozing out everywhere, it was a screening room and not a medical experimentation chamber. A bit musty, a bit disorderly stocked with cotton balls and about a million latex gloves. This was not designed for containment in any way shape or form. It was... modest to say the least.
    Arrow had expected glass walls with computer screens in mass and strange interfaces, perhaps an AI interrogating her.
    "Are you a mutant?"

    Arrow was ready for this question. I don't know? You tell me? No! She had practiced in the mirror many times before. She, in fact, had recorded herself via her phone in order to properly get it down. It was reflex to answer something like that, she didn't even need to think about it anymore. She thought about the lie nevertheless working up her wit and believably, it would be best to argue ignorance at this point rather than flat out denial. "Yes, I can jump very high and can enhance other mutant's abilities and something more that I don't fully understand, but it isn't very strong."

    What?! I... why did I just say that?! No!!! What in the world!!!


    It was like she held no control over it. She was ready and practiced and waiting, yet the truth erupted without any restraint. She immediately felt stupid, there wasn't anything she could do, but she blamed herself anyway. She felt violated, even though it came from within. The doctor looked her in the eye, there was something that the woman didn't seem to like about her honesty. It wasn't the nature of the information but something completely different... almost as if she didn't like the way the answer was delivered, or perhaps she couldn't read if Arrow was telling the truth. The woman jotted down something rather long in the profile, "How did you do that?"

    "We are done here," the doctor explained abruptly and immediately began moving Arrow out.

    "How did you do that?!"

    "Thank you for complying," the woman explained and gave a little heft behind her guiding hand. The door opened, and the silence of the exterior came exploding in as a lava man was outside and a blast furnace of heat rolled into the chamber.Immediately the heat kicked up a notch more and his size expanded just a bit more. Arrow was grabbed by the doctor and forced the other direction. "I think you should leave out the back."
