Devika had retreated to a seat, putting on her gloves and even a thick scarf around her head. Even though they hadn't been in any sort of control, making contact with Griffin and Zack made her feel scattered. Even from where she was sitting, she had felt the mental war playing out, the subconscious emotions pushing at her defenses like waves breaking a rocky shore. She wanted to puke. "Nngh." She shut her eyes, trying to will away the sick feeling. "I'd kill for some ginger ale. Or a good cup of tea, and a room with no people..." -- Kijani walked with Connor, her hand in his. Despite her face, which would look composed and calm to most, she was paler than usual, and still faintly sweating. There was a fine tremor in her body that she was pretending she didn't feel. She knew that if she gave into it, she would crumble. She also knew that Connor would sacrifice his whole day to take care of her if it was necessary, and that was not going to happen. Not again, never again, she wouldn't let him ruin himself because she was so weak. Never again. "Hey, Connor? Is there anything you ever really, really wanted to do?"

Nicholas was watching the fight and was quite impressed with the fight,Devika and the others."A shame I could not beat the bastard with my own bare hands..." Nicholas said to himself watching Phoebe closely letting out a soft sigh.Nicholas slowly stood up walking along the bleachers somewhat following her.

Connor could feel the tremor, barely noticeable, and wondered, but didn't asked her, what was wrong. He knew that Kijani would tell him when she wanted to, but it didn't stop him worrying. It frustrated him certainly, and made him feel useless, but he understood that she kept things to herself. Until they shattered her. So perhaps he should ask what was wrong, but it hurt, even a little, that she didn't feel like she could share it willingly. He seemed a little taken aback when she asked if there was anything he ever really wanted to do. He was thoughtful for a moment, but what he had always wanted to do, wasn't something that could be done now, then shook his head, "No, not really. is there anything you ever really, really wanted to do?" He turned the question back around to her, -------- Kalinda didn't follow them into the trees, deciding that was a disaster waiting to happen, especially if she got overwhelmed with emotions, which was quite likely, considering. She'd rather not have trees flying everywhere. But she stayed close enough to be able to sense the boys emotions, and know that they were alright. ----- "I'm sure he will be. But I think right now, if we follow or try to help, that we will just make it worse" Phoebe said, starting to head out the classroom, but stopped, looking about. "Nicholas? You've been following me a lot today. Did you want to talk?"

You've been following me a lot today. Did you want to talk?"

"Yes I was wondering if you could help me with something conserning my powers" Nicholas said jumping down form the bleachers and walked beside Pheobe.He mostly wanted to speak to her privately but also to work on his powers.

"Sure" Phoebe said, looking about for Katherin, she said "Katherin? Can you finish showing Makoto around?" She smiled, looking back to Nicholas, "Did you want to go outside if its about your powers? "

"Sure" Phoebe said, looking about for Katherin, she said "Katherin? Can you finish showing Makoto around?" She smiled, looking back to Nicholas, "Did you want to go outside if its about your powers? "

"Yes please I think that would be....good..." Nicholas said walking outside with her makin their way far enough form the school that they would not destroy the school,"Well I wanted to...well try to hone my powers so I can match Mimic...and I wanted to speak to you about us..." Nicholas said looking over to her.

Phoebe gave Makoto a smile saying to her, "Katherin will look after you", and followed Nicholas. figuring that she should make an effort with Nicholas."Well, if you want to hone your powers, it's going to be about practice, practice, practice. I also studied a lot about plants and their different properties, enabling me to manipulate them for things like what I did with mimic just then. And what do you want to talk about, regarding us?" She said, somewhat puzzled.

Connor could feel the tremor, barely noticeable, and wondered, but didn't asked her, what was wrong. He knew that Kijani would tell him when she wanted to, but it didn't stop him worrying.

He turned the question back around to her.

Kijani smiled mildly, thinking about that. "I want a vacation. Like, a real vacation, where I could do anything I wanted, and no one be looking, or talking about me behind my back, or really even notice that I was different. I want a vacation from... well, me."

Phoebe gave Makoto a smile saying to her, "Katherin will look after you", and followed Nicholas. figuring that she should make an effort with Nicholas."Well, if you want to hone your powers, it's going to be about practice, practice, practice. I also studied a lot about plants and their different properties, enabling me to manipulate them for things like what I did with mimic just then. And what do you want to talk about, regarding us?" She said, somewhat puzzled.

Katherin looed up a the sound of her name. She had been lost in thought. Alot of drama had been happening. "Sure I would love to show you around Makoto. Some tome outside in the cold air might clear my head."

Connor pondered that a moment. "Well, you can never run from yourself, so...a vacation from those who want to use you, or hurt you" Maybe he could do that for her, one day. He sighed after a moment, and said "I want to be...normal. Or at least not have people say, "Oh, you're Tony Stark's son?" and know that they think that's all that there is to me" He shrugged.

She said, somewhat puzzled.

"Well I know I have been practicing a little by myself but I want to test what I learnt and perhaps work on my weak points..." Nicholas said feeling a sense of nervousness in his body of what he will be saying to her next,"I wanted to speak about us as a family and I...guess try to re-connect and be a family" Nicholas finally spoke out looking down at the ground now.

Connor pondered that a moment. "Well, you can never run from yourself, so...a vacation from those who want to use you, or hurt you" Maybe he could do that for her, one day. He sighed after a moment, and said "I want to be...normal. Or at least not have people say, "Oh, you're Tony Stark's son?" and know that they think that's all that there is to me" He shrugged.

Kijani nodded a bit. "I understand. I got that a lot, when I was growing up at my parents' house. They were both famous, masters in their respective fields. Half the time, when I got dragged to things with them, the people I spoke to didn't even know they had a daughter." There was an icy bitterness in her voice, but beneath that she was clearly hurt. "You, though... you'll make your own name. One day, you'll be one of the greats, and when people say your name, they'll be talking about what you've accomplished, what you've made, and how you've made the world better. Your father will be on the back page of your story, not the whole story."

Phoebe gave Makoto a smile saying to her, "Katherin will look after you", and followed Nicholas. figuring that she should make an effort with Nicholas."Well, if you want to hone your powers, it's going to be about practice, practice, practice. I also studied a lot about plants and their different properties, enabling me to manipulate them for things like what I did with mimic just then. And what do you want to talk about, regarding us?"

Katherin looed up a the sound of her name. She had been lost in thought. Alot of drama had been happening. "Sure I would love to show you around Makoto. Some tome outside in the cold air might clear my head."

"Alright then." Makoto said, turning towards the young female. "Are you alright?" She asked tentatively. What went down in that class was not anything she had ever experienced before and from other's reactions, it was new to them as well.

"Alright then." Makoto said, turning towards the young female. "Are you alright?" She asked tentatively. What went down in that class was not anything she had ever experienced before and from other's reactions, it was new to them as well.

"Oh. I'm fine. Thank you. Ive been a little... off lately" Katherin explained. "I think so much is happening that sometimes I feel left behind. But that's a personal thing. What have you seen so far?"

Pheobe was taken aback at nicholas saying he wanted to be a family. She had thought he just tolerated her, that she was nothing but someone that could help him with his powers. But family? It seemed since coming here, she had had nothing but family. finally meeting her mother, finding out who her father was, her friends...she had wanted a brother, she remembered that. Well. She had a chance now. She hadn't seen Nicholas like this before. She smiled and said "I'd like that, and im always happy I help you with your powers" Connor gave Kijani's a hand a squeeze when she spoke about her parents. And then as she spoke about him. He went silent for a moment, as he had been simply toying the idea of not following his father, of not trying to be better then him. But the world needed an iron man. And he loved his suit. "making my own name doesn't matter to me" He said softly

"Thank you...now i wanted to if you mind have a small sparing session to like i said take a look on my powers and i want you to help me with my weak points...so i can beat Mimic and other.." Nicholas said now going into a fighting stance looking over at Phoebe ready to fight.He knew this might help with bonding with his half sister so they they might become closer,"Are you ready?" He asked her watching her movement his vines slowly coming out of his collar.

Phoebe shifted, relaxed, and since they were outside, she slid her shoes off, letting her feet enjoy the feel of the ground. She nodded, "Sure thing" She said, her own vines curling around her, as if they were snakes. She wanted to see how Nicholas used his powers, and see what she could teach him.

"making my own name doesn't matter to me" He said softly

Kijani chuckled low, shaking her head a bit. "Of course it doesn't. And that is why I know that you will become a very different man from your father." She smiled and kissed his cheek softly. "People recognize greatness. But... there is something to be said of humility." Squeezing his hand, she looked ahead. Her eyes looked odd, distant, like she was seeing into the future. "You'll be one of those people who they talk about long after you're dead and gone."

"sounds like it will be a restless eternity then" Connor said with amusement, looking to Kijani, he couldn't help but smile, but frowned at her expression. He debated about saying something for a moment, but he remembered how she looked as she asked if he wanted to go for Juice. Like she'd break. For now, it seemed like she was alright. He didn't want to bring that back. "It amazes me that you can see others greatness, but not your own. Constantly"

She nodded, "Sure thing" She said, her own vines curling around her, as if they were snakes. She wanted to see how Nicholas used his powers, and see what she could teach him.

Nicholas was the first to make a move unwinding his vine like a whip moving it quickly around her leg to try to trip her,He hoped this would be the start of his training.
