Alex swallowed a large mouthful of food as Lynn introduced herself. It was barely an introduction, the girl had only stated her name, but Alex thought it was much better then being blown off. She had even gotten a nod from her, which was even better then just getting a name. It was also acknowledgment. At this point she didn't really care about anyone else at the table, just Lynn and the totally badass lizard guy she was sitting next to. Alex shoveled another forkful of food into her mouth, pausing for a moment to appreciate the fact she was eating food that was much nicer then the food she had at home. And even though her and Lynn had barely exchanged any words to each other, Alex already considered them buddies. And they also both had a big appetite, Alex liked that in a person. 

And then Henry introduced himself, giving a lot more then just his name to Alex. She heard him mention he was twenty two, but not only that, he was also a doctor. She was pretty shocked from that fact, being a doctor was really hard and took a lot of time. Obviously, Alex thought, his super power must be brains. And if he was a twenty two year old doctor, he must be a teacher here. She found it odd that a teacher would be sitting at a table of students but to each their own. 

“It's nice to meet you as well Henry! And thank you, warm welcomes are a treat.” 

And shit was he tall, that must be a secondary power, or genetics. Alex didn't seem to be connecting the dots with the whole lizard thing. As he walked away she turned back to Lynn with a smile, scooping more food onto her fork. “Is this your first year too?” Alex asked, giving Lynn barely enough time to process her question and respond, began to speak again. “Oh man. I'm so excited for school I might burst!” Alex was visibly excited, her skin and hair began to glow brighter and her eyes were squeezed shut. And then all of a sudden the light died back down. “What about you? Are you excited?”
