Jade made her way to class.she wondered what they would be doing. It was some sort of physical class. She should be fine there. She had grown up in a garage. She was in pretty good physical shape. She knew a little fighting. But probably not the kind they would teach her. She hadn't talk to anyone yet. She didn't know how to talk to people her own age.

Jihord He took a few steps back, noticing the cold sweat on Jin's skin and feeling heavily responsible for the chill. The ice on his skin quickly transited from solid ice to frost, then back to flesh. "I shall sit with you as well." He grunted to Leon

Ryan walked into Physical Training and sat down in a seat. He looked around and sighed. 'There aren't many people around.'

Jack would just shake his head at her, noticing everyone finally showing up to class. "We can keep this up later, I'd rather not get pegged for being too much of a show off by our fair teacher too soon." He would say with a smile. "Let's chill and see what he has for us, hm?"

Violet rolls her eyes but nods. She stands silently next to him once more

Jin smiled in a wobbly way, and started walking. "Mm... so which way's class?" She wasn't moving like she had before. Her steps were stumbling, and she looked a bit pale. "Damn, I have no idea where anything is in this place."

The jeweled necklace shimmered in the light of the flashlight as Shane examined it within the dark recesses of the shipping crate. Wow it was a beauty, the main gem itself was a vibrant deep blue sapphire with the accompanying diamonds running the length of the string. It would sell well...if it was real. Then again he could run it by Barns, the guy was the best fence he knew and Shane was certain Barns would get him a good price. He slid the necklace into his bag and looked at his watch...late. He shifted into his Rift form and went invisible gliding out of the shipping crate and towards the academy as fast as he could. All these jobs he'd been pulling was so he'd get admittance to that place. If he wanted to be a better thief (even though he was an expert already) he'd need the training they provided. But once again his greed had gotten the better of him and he was running late after a job he thought he'd get done within the hour. Arriving at the academy he realized he was late for orientation. _Nice.._, said to himself while still invisible _Yuh missed orientation, let's hope we ain't late for class...but first I wanna check out my new place_. Still invisible he flew through the halls sending chills down the spines of students he flew through. Arriving at an empty room he declared it his own and threw his bag onto the bed...if anyone knew what was good for them they won't go snooping in his stuff. Hovering in his room he looked around what he'd call home for the next few months...better than his last place that's for sure. He shifted back to normal and checked his bag to see if he had brought everything. Clothes? Check. Gear? Check. Riya? Riya...damn that name always brought back sad memories...enough of that he had the sword it was time to get to class.  Shifting back to Rift form he flew invisibly behind a group of students for a bit to figure out where he should go. They were probably freezing but oh well, from what they were saying it sounded like he'd be heading towards Physical Training. Good, for most of his career he'd relied on his Rift Form if he had to fight. Being able to hold his own in his human form would be a great benefit in the field. He ditched the now chilled to the bone students and dashed towards Physical Training class where he found others already gathered. _Great, late for class too_. He hovered over to the others and revealed himself still in rift form. 

> Jin smiled in a wobbly way, and started walking. "Mm... so which way's class?" She wasn't moving like she had before. Her steps were stumbling, and she looked a bit pale. "Damn, I have no idea where anything is in this place." Jihord "Class is near." he grunted, then saw her stumbling and moved forward to steady her, then pulled his arms back grimacing a bit "Can you... walk?" He asked softly, pausing a bit to translate in his head, his cheekbones blueing a bit, as well as his ears and fingertips, before stepping back again.

Jin nodded a bit, wiping a layer of sweat from her forehead. "Yeah, I'm fine." She was still moving, true, but fine was pushing it. She continued down the hall, eventually starting to brace herself against the wall while she walked. Had it really been so long since she'd been all of herself, that the backlash was so bad?

Leon positioned himself next to her and threw her arm over his shoulder not saying a word as he helped steady her, he hasn't picked her up like a child or a weak girl, no he had moved to her side recognizing her as his equal, as a warrior, "Your powers are godly...but come with some serious backlash." Leon carried her weight on his shoulder, "I've got your back."

Jin's immediate response was to try and get away. She didn't need help, she wasn't weak, she just needed a minute. But she realized that she was much steadier with him bracing her, and frowned. There was shame written on her face, and she hastily yanked her hoodie up. "We don't speak about this, you hear me? I don't need help, and you don't have my back because it's always against the wall."

Leon knew that attitude because it was one he had adopted himself living in Gotham, She had pulled up her hood and he smiled a bit and nodes to her words, "That may be true...and I won't talk about it...but who says I can't be backed against that wall next to you?" Leon smiled, "Better to take a beating next to someone...than on your own."

Jin said nothing for a few moments, and then simply turned her head. Before she did, though, there was a quick, but definite smile on her face. "I can live with that. If I just so happen to be catching hell at the same time you are, well, that's just the luck of the cards, isn't it?" Her voice was low, still shaky, but definitely happy.

Jihord He trailed a bit behind the two, saying nothing as they conversed about Leon supporting her. He understood her point though, he himself wasn't one to accept help from others, even if he really needed it. "Tvunnet sjelet." He said to himself softly, a bit of a smile playing on his lips.

Jin called back, turning her head just slightly to speak to Jihord. "Just 'cause I can't understand you doesn't mean I can't hear you." There was a bit more happiness in her voice, though she sounded weak still. "You'd better not be talking about me."

As he hovered behind those in the training room waiting for class to begin, Shane began to examine everyone in the room. His white eyes glowing through shadow of his hooded robe. Even though he had no intention of stealing from them(yet)he loved sizing up a person. What kind of jewelry they have if any? What kind of financial background they came from? That sort of stuff. This reminded him of Riya back when the two of them would work together, scouting out a potential mark. She'd always give half of what they stole to the beggar kids while he'd have this look on his face, "They need to learn to fend for themselves" he'd say. Not she'd listen anyway. Riya always was the kind one out of the two thieves.  Snapping back to reality Shane realized that the others hadn't noticed him yet. Surprising since he figured a tall black robed figure would instantly gain attention but then again he probably wasn't the most intimidating person at HIVE. Going invisible once again he noticed Jack and Violet. Those two seemed to be making fast friends with everyone else...well at least one of them. Hmm perhaps? Shane, still invisible, hovered over to Violet. Let's see how long she's stay before the cold got to her.

There was a bit more happiness in her voice, though she sounded weak still. "You'd better not be talking about me." Leon nodded, "We ain't alone...those of us who know the city...we survive because we know how, but we aren't in the city any more...so now we gotta stick at least in earshot..." Leon held her arm and smiled, "and besides I can't think of a reason we wouldn't look out for each other now...how do you think the best teams get started?"

> Jin called back, turning her head just slightly to speak to Jihord. "Just 'cause I can't understand you doesn't mean I can't hear you." There was a bit more happiness in her voice, though she sounded weak still. "You'd better not be talking about me." Jihord He chuckled lightly "I will get you pocket translators." He grunted, then looking at his watch he grunted again "I think we late."

Shane, still invisible, hovered over to Violet. Let's see how long she's stay before the cold got to her. Violet smiles and draws out some of her shadow. She looks around as she begins to get cold and she throws it up into the air next to her shoulder. Though it doesn't stick right to him, she notices the interference with the Rift. "You shouldn't be next to someone who deals with shadows, Rift," she says. "Invisible things can easily be seen in the shadows." She smiles over at him. "I'm Vi-Shadow. My name is Shadow."

Mammoth grinned devilishly as he watched the mass of students gather into the training room. **"Alright ankle biters time to shut your traps and listen up to your incredibly honorable teacher."** He said before letting out a loud laugh. He stretched the trees he called arms before he continued. **"Like I said kiddies this class is going to whip you into shape physically, meaning..."** He said as he fished out what looked like a garage door opener out of his pocket and pressed the button. After he did that the whole room was filled with a low buzzing sound, much like the sound a old light bulb would make. The students would then notice a metallic taste in their mouths as well as all of there powers were now not working **...no powers."** Mammoth finished with a smirk. **"In this class I don't care if you can out run a car, freeze people solid, turn invisible, or any of the other crap you can do. In this class you are going to be on a even playing field with each other. You don't like it you can shove your complaints up your nose and leave the academy right now. Any questions?"** Mammoth said with a grin and crossing his arms.
